No official sanction is given for the
report, but 1t is stated among Aber-
deem nilIliamen that the 1916 eucamp-

be held 81 Fort Meade, near Sturei5,
instead Of at Redfeld. Ii is supposed
the change is made because the depar.

buying IB current from a water power
company.
AS soon as Congress makes laws
which guarantee the safety Of invest
ment In hydro-electr1c projects 1t is as
serted that many large water power
plants will be built in the South and
West, which will supply current for
operating number OF trunk line rail
roads by electricity.
Every engineer and railroad man
knows and admits the wastefulness OF
using steam locomotives for hauling
railway trains. There are in service
on the railroads of the United States
about $4,000 steam locomotives, with
an aggregate capacity Of between 3d.
100000 and 60,O00O0O horse power.
These locomotives burn about 10000
600 tons of coal and 100000 barrels
of oil annually Their fuel bill amounts
to something over a quarter OF Dill
lion dollars year.
These locomotives actually use. on
the average, only about one-fourth the
power they are capable of general
ing. Probably two-thirds OF the fuel
they burn Is wasted. in that 1t does
not generate steam used to turn
their wheels. To this economic
waste must be added the loss OF use
of probably one-third Of the rolling
stock of all the railroads, now kept
busy hauling fuel to he burned in the
locomotives.
1t is estimated that II all the rail
roads in the country were electrified
and served by central stations all

WASTED WATER POWER
WILL RUN RAILROADS
Trains of Future to Be OpO-
rated by Electricity.

Opinions expressed at the recent con-
vention Of the Railroad Master Me
chanics in Atlantic City that the steam
locomotive will be relegated to the
scrap heap and all railroad trains VIII
be operated by electricity in the COM
paratively near future are shared very
generally by railroad men and engi'
neers. Electrihcation of railroads has
already made sufficient Roadway to
demonstrate the desirability OF It's gen.
eral adoption, and extensive equip
ment of many trunk lines for electrical
operation is being held back only I'M
til such time as cheap electric cur
rent, which In many sections must be
water power, is made available by the
passage of bills raw before congress.
Fifteen years ago the late e. II. Har'
riman decided to operate the Central
Pacific Railroad by electricity gener-
ated by water power. Engineers COM
pleted plans and told Mr.. Hartman
that by electrification Of the Sierra
Mountain division the road would
save $350,00O n year in coal bills and
labor, but that the interest on the in
vestment necessary to equip the divi'
sion electrically and develop the water
power would be about $4,000 year
Last winter the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway began operating
electrically a division of its line lilo
miles long. crossing the Rocky Noun
tains I'm Montana and Nevada. Within
a few months additional main line to-
falling 44O miles will be operated by
electricity. On the 115 miles now In
operation nine electric locomotives han
die all the traffic, whereas twenty-four
steam locomotives were formerly re-
quired to do the work. The electric
engines pull heavier trains and make
better time. The steam locomotives
formerly averaged ia miles In TWEEN
ty-four hours. The electric trains make
200 miles a day. Less labor is employ
ed and the repair bills are smaller.
Vhere are no ClnuerS OF sHOhe " an

power plants to generate electricity

tral Pacific. The Milwaukee Railroad

| if the exact location had been revealed.
Until definite information is given as to
that matter there will be considerable
widespread suspicion that a German
missile was responsible for the loss. 1t
is a serious blow to the British navy
because the Edward VII. was one of the
larger and more recently constructed
warships. To the British mind, how
ever, there is a great deal of relief that
all the persons on board were taken off
and that in the transfer to the small
boats only two Of the crew were injured.
The feat OF transferring several hundred
men from a disabled warship, and amid
a heavy storm is demonstration of
very capable seamanship and speaks
well for the efficiency of the British
navy in some of the details of service
connected Herewith other than the act
of fighting There must have been we'll
nigh perfect precision of movement on
the part of the complement of men, else
some would have been lost in the trans |
fer. Would that similar precision might
have prevailed on some OF the passenger
steamers that have fallen victims to
war weapons during the past IS months! /!
