Fifty miles inland from Valparaiso
Is the city of Santiago, the capital of
Chile and the fourth South American
city in population. From its broad
central avenue, the Alameda, lined
with statues and four rows Of trees,
one can look upon mountains crowned
with perpetual snow. From here the
transcontinental tourist departs for
the ride wei the Trans-Andean rail-
road, the first rail line to conquer the
tremendous Andean barrier, and prob
ably the most wonderful feat Of rail-
road engineering in the world.
The passenger making this trip will
have an experience to be forgot
ten. To quote a writer: "If any other
trunk line Of railroad traverses a re-
gion so extraordinary, it has not yet
been described"

steam traction.
Il must be remembered that each
steam locomotive is a se~lf-contatned
power plant which may not be ope-
rated to the best advantage by the men
In charge Of it. It takes a long time to
start an ordinary locomotive that has
been standing in the roundhouse, ana
this work calls for the attention Of the
engineer and fireman from the very
beginning Of steam raising. More than
that q certain amount Of coal Ia
burned at low efficiency in raising the
water to the steaming point and then
to the desired operating pressure.
There is no return upon this outlay.
Improbable Periods.
Furthermore, all the time during
which the locomotive. is waiting in the
yard or station and not actually en-
gagged in hauling represents an un-
profitable period, and finally there are
the halts for fuel and water along the
run and the %protracted attendance at
the end of the journey when the en-
CINE is again returned to a round
house. One might cite other condi-
lions, such as leaky valves, changes OF
altitude, and the effects Of weather
en- route, which have a very decided
bearing upon the working and the
cost Of operating steam locomotives.
See, then, how different is the story
in the ease Of the electric tractor.
Each of these electric locomotives Is
entirely independent of coal pockets
along the way, for 1t needs neither fuel
nor water, and therefore does not have
to drag along behind it a bulky, bur
densome tender. Further, the man at
the lever has nothing whatever to do
with the generation of energy, and, &C.
cordingly, all Of these tractors a be
operated exactly alike. ."
Needs Little Care.
No matter what the grade, the mo-
torman knows that his supply of mo-
tive force will remain constant and
equal to the tax on it, his locomotive
meeting each changing condition cas-
fly and without wracking stress. 1t
can run a thousand miles without over
hauling, and for that reason can cover
several steam railway divisions at
stretch. 1t has no ashes to dump, no
iues to clean, and no boiler to In
spect. It can be started out OF its
roundhouse at an instant's notice; 1t
can be housed at the end of It's run
with only a few minutes attention.
and for these reasons the cost OF SUI
pervision and maintenance falls far be-
low that Of it's steam rival.
AS n of the experts has said'
"yvinter, above all, demonstrates the
efficiency of the electric locomotive.
Its great driving power gives it a
marked a-antage over its steam COM
petitor t. pushing through heavy
snowdrifts. Of even more importance,
however, is the fact that while the
steam tractor experiences most trouble
in bitter cold weather, through slow
fires, loss of heat by radiation, ana
frozen pipes, the electric locomotive
is actually at,its best under such con-
ditions.
"Not only are electrical conditions
favored by the dry, cold air OF winter
but since practically the only diflculty
with electric motors is their tendency
to heat when working at maximum, IL
follows that the colder the weather inc
less the coils. will heat"

MOST REMARKABLE RAILROAD In Chile

Penetrating deep valleys, beside
rushing torrents, clinging to the per-
pendicular sides of precipices a thou
sand feet deep, stretching by lis
eerie bridges over vast chasms, plung-
ing through 25 tunnels, climbing the
slopes of snowy peaks $4,000 and o.
600 feet in elevation, ascending far
above the timber line, the train finally
passes over the Continental Divide, at
1O,4OO feet elevation in a three-mile
tunnel, and then descends to the fertile
plains of the Argentine.
No greater transition could be ex-
perienced. Behind are the mountains
and in front limitless prairies.
Unparalleled scenic grandeur has
been left behind and q world devoted
to agriculture and commerce entered.

There will be no speculating in the
price of Thanksgiving turkeys this year.
There is even a chance that the figure
will hold the same as last year or
even lower, should the food administra-
ton discover a speculative tendency.
just at present, the Portland market is
rather vague, and commission men are
asking that prices be submitted, rath-
er than making offers of prices. Any
how, federal food administrator Newell
of Portland announces that he is keep
ing weather eye out on the turkey
proposition.

According to the school census just
completed, there are 4O64 young folks
in the city between the ages of four
and 20 years. The girls are in the ma
jority, as their number is 2097 while the
boys figure up only 1867. This total
of 1904 is just Ill less than the school
census of one year ago. This decrease
in number is partly due to the fact
that formerly the census has been taken
during the month of November when
many families move in town for the
school facilities afforded their children.
Perhaps should the census be taken in
the latter part of November, it would
almost equal that of one year ago. The
enumerator noted that many families
had moved away, due to the opportuni-
ties of securing higher wages in the
ship yards of the northwest. In all he
found a total of 500 vacant houses in
the city.

Mark siddall of the Capital City Rod

Mark Siddau of the Capital City Rod
and Gun CLUB announces that definite
arrangements have been made for a
shoot in Salem Sunday Nov. IS, for
the two beginners trophies which have
been hung up by the club and also a
special turkey shoot. These are only a
part of the special shoots that will be
held by the club this winter.
Two young men felt the call of the
war today. Alexander Pratt, IS, of Che
mawa, enlisted in the infantry. Law
renee Grassman, 81, of Gervais, chose
the aviation. Both of the young men
went to Portland this morning. Accord
ing to word received at the recruiting
office, with a short time the govern
ment will establish an aviation school at
Vancouver.
An automobile smash-up this morn
ing at North Cottage and Center streets
resulted in Ford losing two of its
rear wheels and a Buick having
smashed front wheel. 1t seems that Mr..
Van Buren of Mccoy was going north
on Cottage street and H. o. Taylor of
Aumsville, west on Center. According
to the rules of the road, Mr.. Taylor
had the right of way but in speeding up
managed to get in front of the big ear
in tome to have two read wheels smash
ed pretty badly. No one was injured.
The windows Of one house on Che
meketa street between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets show no food admin
.istration pledge card. The card may be
there, and if it is the low visibility is
such that it cannot be seen. As the mat
ter now stands, if the housekeeper is
with the government, there is pledge
card showing plainly. If the people in
house are against the government,
then no card can be seen. 1t s easy to
figure it out.

The Salem public library is facing
rather serious proposition from the
fact that while the proposed budget
gives the same amount as last
year, the cost of books in general has
advanced about 25 per cent. Although
the number of books on fiction has been
greatly reduced, there is still a larger
demand for books than usual from the
fact that patrons are calling for books
on food conservation, military practice,
war books and on the French language.
Notwithstanding the war, the circula-

at any time in its history.

For the benefit of those who are
holding their bean crop, it may be an
nounced that the government has estab-
lished price of $500 for Michigan
beans. That does not mean that the
farmer is obliged to sell his beans at
that price. 1t jus. means that in the
east, when the government buys, its
price is $500. AS wholesale houses are
not permitted to carry more than a
60 days supply, this may eventually
mean that farmers with beans will not
find a ready market and that they
may find themselves in the same fix as
the eastern Oregon farmers, who are
obliged to borrow money on their wheat,
as there is no market, nor ears for
shipment.
