A new type of snow blow, built at the local shops of the Copper River & Northwestern Railway under the direction of its inventor, Charles Dustin, master mechanic, has been placed in service this winter by that railroad. The machine has been op- terated since the present snow season opened and has unquestionably dem- onstrated it's effectiveness.
 The Wing Snow Plow," as 1t is called, is a radical departure in rail- road snow fighting equipement. It is a separate piece of equipment, but 1t is used in conjunction with the regular rotary snow blows. great ly increasing their efficiency and usefulness. The device was de- signed and built by MT. Dustin last winter, but when it was completed the snow season had so far advanced that 1t could not be given a con- elusive trial at that time.
 The principal feature of the new blow is it's arm or wing" This is a reenforced steel arm eighteen feet long, tapering from approximately four feet wide at the base or car snd, to about two and one half feet wide at the outer end. The arm is straight but is curved throughout it's width. It can be set at any angle from the car but it is usually op- erated with the outer end extending out about twelve feet from the near est rail, into the snow bank at the side of the tracks. When it is thus extended, and the car Is in motion, the wing cuts the snow from the bank and draws or slides it inward toward the tracks. The rear end of the arm lies in such a position that the snow that curles along it is de- posited immediately between the tracks behind the car. This snow is then within the range of the wheel of the rotary blows and can DC thrown to one side by them.
 The machine has only one wing and return trip is required to cut down both banks When the return trip has been completed and the snow thrown out by the rotaries. a passageway thirty feet wide has been opened. The rotaries alone without the aid of the wing blow make a cut only twelve feet across
 The wing can be quickly raised or lowered through distance of eight feet. This feature permits the op- orator to easily follow the banks and regulate the depth of the cut taken. Power is derived from two con- pound steam engines with air cyl finders as counterbalances. The en-

ANOTHER WAY OUT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. - Thirty members of the House, prominent in the groups opposing the sales tax, came out formally in favor of using refunded foreign bonds to finance the soldiers bonus in a joint letter to Chairman Fordney, of the Ways and Means Committee. They said the use of bonds would remove a grossly un- just proposal, prevent a political over- turing of Congress and be just to ex- soldiers who saved to the United States these foreign debts"

zines are supplied with steam from he locomotive drawing the machine.
 At the front of the blow on the wing side is another wing about nine feet long of the ordinary push CT type. This is used where it is possible to push the snow away from the sides of the tracks, as in a can- yon or at places where the roadbed is higher than the ground immediate ly adjacent to it.
 A rotary snow blow, by means of a great wheel equipped with steel blades, picks up the snow from the tracks and throws it to one side, thus clearing cut or passageway for the train which follows. This snow is thrown from fifty to two hundred feet away from the tracks, and al- ways on the windward side. But, although much of this snow is thrown considerable distance, larger part of it rolls out from the blow and builds up banks at the edges of the tracks. This Spill over," as it is called, gradually builds higher with successive trips of the rotaries, until the banks are five or six or more feet deeper than the snow on the level ground. On the local railroad these banks during a winter of heavy snow fall some- times become higher than the blow and train cars.
 Whever there is snow, the drifting action of the wind tends to fill up any depressions in the ground. This is illustrated by the leveling of un- even ground and the filling of gull lies in inc mountains during the winter. This same action tends to cause the cut or passageway between the banks at the edges of the rail- road tracks to fill with snow to the level of their tops when the wind Is blowing.
 There are a number of places along the local railroad where the wind blows almost constantly dur ing the wnnter. and at these points tho wind will refill the cut with drifted snow in few hours, al- though perhaps only few inches of snow has fallen on the level during that time. If the banks. for example, were eight feet high. the cut would fill to that height, the time required depending partly on tn amount of enow falling. hut chiefly on the force of the wind. It follows that if these '>anks were cut down to, say, four feet, the cut would fill only to that height, plus the amount of snow fall ing on the level meanwhile.
