They are equalized in pairs on each
side SO that each OF the four driving
wheel trucks on each side is inde-
pendent. The cab extends for nearly
the full length of the locomotive.
Two men constitute the crew, though
only one is required to operate the
mechanism. The other is there for
emergency and to learn his trade.
Here are some of the most striking
advantages of the electric locomo-
tive:-
1t operates with the highest effi-
cheney in the coolest weather when
steam locomotives often freeze up.
It returns by Regeneration" large
part Of the power used in running up
hill during the corresponding run
down hill.
1t requires inspection only once in
every 1000 miles of travel, whereas
the steam locomotive must be over
hau ed At the end OF each division.
1t uses no coal, requires no water
and has no ashes to dump.
1t carries no tender and has no
boiler and will run indefinitely at q
uniform rate OF speed.
1t reduces roundhouse tinkering to
mage irrespective of weather.
It does awav with fuel trains and
clears the tracks for traffic that pays
dividends.
The best steam locomotive has to
be Overhauled after running 100 or
l25 miles, whereas the immunity OF
the electric engine from this necessity
"a heavy advantage in operating eff
cheney.
A steam locomotive waiting at a
division point consumes eighty per
cent OF the fuel it uses in actual serv-
ice. whereas the electric locomotive
when idle consumes no power. The
freeing of the track from fuel trains is
an element Of the highest Importance,
especially in mountainous country
where double tracking is often i'm
pos sible.
The direct current electric locOmo.

railway transportation methods, be.

Pure Food Inspector Destroys Bad
Apples

Vermillion, Oct. ll.-Prompt action
on the part of the State Food and
Drugs Department resulted in the
condemnation and seizure Saturday
OF 2O9 barrels Of rotting apples at
Bradley and Bryant s. ID. The
apples comprised nearly the whole
OF two cars which had been shipped
to these points from Preston, Mimi,
by Clarence A. Munger, and were in
tended to be sold to consumers in the
two towns. 1t seems probable that
the apples were IN poor condition at
the time of shipment as they were
partially spoiled at the time of the
arrival. Word was sent to Com
missioner Frary to look after the
case and take action looking to the
condemnation of the apples if con-
dition warranted. Inspector Lovald
found the apples practically
unfit for food and proceeded to
Clark, where the states attorney made
out proper papers for the condem-
nation and seizure of the goods
under the food law. Judge Sherwood
held special chambers Saturday
evening and after hearing evidence
ordered the inspector to destroy the
apples. Inspector Lovald returned
to Bryant today and made suitable
disposition of them.
This is the largest consignment OF
food unfit for use ever destroyed
through the action of the food and
drug department. It follows soon
after the disposition in Aberdeen of
$500 pounds of wOrmy raisins which
were being sold there after an attempt
to conceai their filthy condition. The
inspectors have been on the job all
the time, however, and numerous
smaller lots of food have been con-
signed to the dump. Inspector Long
caused the destruction of Is pour ds OF

stretch OF road to be used by the new
engines, covering three mountain
ranges where there are long distance
grades OF from one and half to two
per cent, will be doubled in capacity

achieve the same result as though it

Electrifying Railroad
e. N. l. st. +. Railway to Use Elec.
tricity on Mountain Division

The biggest electric locomotives in
the world are peing delivered this
week in patches to the Chicago, Mil
waukee Il ST. Paul Railway system.
They form the advance guard of
fifty huge electric engines to be used
by the road in operating 44O miles OF
it's transcontinental line between
Harlowton, Mont 4, 1853 feet above sea
level, and Avery, Idaho, elevation
2.494 feet. They will also climb the
Rocky Mountain summit, $500 feet
and the Belt Mountain summit, 5, TOO
feet.
When these giant machines 90 into
operation as they will do some time
in November, hauling heavy freight
and passenger trains through the pre-
cipitous ranges of Montana and Idaho
the most ambitious Identification pro-
ject over conceived will have safely
passed It's most difficult stages.
These locomotives are designed to
do the work being done at present and
rather too expensively by huge Mallet
steam engines, two OF which are used
to pull heavy freight trains up the
grades OF the Belt and Bitter Root
ranges. They are expected TO effect
an enormous economy in operation.
In fact the purpose Of the company
In electrificatiOn has not been to in
crease the speed Of its trains, but to
inc ease efficiency and promote econ.
sOmy in operation.
The new locomotives are of great
interest because they are the first to
be constructed for railroad service
with direct current motors designed to
carry as high potential as 5000
volts. They weigh 26O tons each and
have q continuous capacity greater
than that OF any steam or electric 10.

One Of these big machines car

up one per cent grade with its ;, 44(
horse power and make light work Ol
the job. Two of them can do the
same on two per cent grade.
These monsters are l12 feet inches
long. There is nothing about them
TO suggest the steam locomotive which
they will ultimately displace in both
freight and passenger service If the
faith of the designers is sustained
Looking at first glance more like big
mail car than anything else, the St.
PauIs new type engine operates as
mysteriously to the average observer
as did the first automobiles In the eyes
OF those used to hOrse-drawn vehicles,
The design is such as to save track

At ten-foOt intervals. The drive wheels

A Correction

A recent communication from
a lady friend and former resi-.
dent of Milbank, Mrs. Addison
Conright, takes us to task for
telling about one of our friends
VINO had been climbing Mount
Rainier. Mrs. Conright lives in
Tacoma and she asserts that we
should have called the mountain
referred to Mount Tacoma, and
brings positive proof of the fact
that it is the proper Indian name
for that particular hill. She
says that it is only the uninform-
ed or prejudiced persons who
hail from Seattle who ever
speak Of Mount "Rainer. We
stand corrected, for as married
man we have long ago learned
that it is not q profitable matter
to argue q question with one of
the opposite sex who knows, and
hereafter it shall ever be Mount
Tacoma with US as long as the
mount stands. We feel like the
the fellow who confessed that
every time he opened his mouth
he put his foot in it.

Western Minnesota Exposition.
Grant County Has Finest Exhibit
on Ground
A good sized attendance was
at Ortonville exposition Thurs
day of last week, and a large
number Of our Grant county
people went over to see the dis
play of farm products. A good
showing of corn was made, not
withstanding the past season
has not been a good corn year,
but the display of vegetables was
not as complete as it should have
been for an affair Of this kind,
particularly so where so many
counties, and among them some
of the best agricultural coun
ties in the state of Mime
sofa were being represented.
The fact is that Grant county,
which was not really in the Min.
nesota association, had by far
the best general exhibit of pro
ducts ON the grounds. The dis
play from this county had,
together with varied showing
of corn of the different varieties,
wheat, oats and barley of several
kinds, and all the different
vegetables of finest quality,
there was also fine display of
apples and fruits grown in the
county. The display was artis-
tically arranged, and Mr..
A. J. Bleser, under whose
supervision the collecting and
arranging of the exhibits took
place, is to be congratulated on
the splendid showing made.
The other Grant county boosters
who SO literally gave their time
and money to the gathering up
iof the products and getting them
on display are worthy of COM
mendation.
Following are the prizes award
ed the Grant county exhibitors:
