Most Powerful
Locomotive Is
Now Being Built

The most powerful and economi-
cal non-articulated. or single en-.
gine unit, locomotive yet designed
by mechanical experts now is being
built for the Southern Pacific Com
pany to handle heavy trains over
mountain sections of the west.
This was announced in a report
received here today by J. H. vii.
liams, local agent for the company.
An outstanding feature of the
"4-l0-12" is a third cylinder plac-
ed inside the main frames slightly
above and between the two out
side cylinders.
Hauling capacity of the new To-
cOmotivc, due to greater tractive
power and more uniform pulling
torque because of the third cylinder,
is onc-fourth more at a speed of
% miles an hour on a % per cent
grade than that of the most pow
erful locomotive now in use by the
Southern Pacific.
The new "4-10-2" is 101 feet,
inch in length over all, weight
682,400 pounds and has maximum
tractivc power of $4,000 pounds.
Main rods of the outside cylinders
propel the third pair Of driving
wheels, while the main rod of the
inside cylinder propels the second
pair Of driving wheels by means of
q crank axle.

MILLION DOLLAR

Making power, rs well rs eco.
nomical operation, among the pre-
dominating features of the new
1928 Star ears, the "million dollar
motor, one of the latest develop
ments in automotive engineering
and proven by successful tests to
be still greater advancement for
the new Star cars, is announced by
the Durant Motor company of Cali
fornia.
The new motor plant is said to
place the 1925 Star cars among the
leaders in four cylinder motor man
ufacture today.
Brought about by gradual devel-
opment rather than any sudden
change in manufacture, the new
motor, which has been tested in
thousands of miles of actual oper-
ation, will win even higher favor
for Star ears among light car own.
ers, says n. L. Huebner, local Star
dealer, who is now featuring a dis
play of the new Star cars here.
Several informal tests, under the
supervision of newspapcrmen in
Oakland, California, have revealed
the ''million dollar motor as hay
ing remarkable qualities for power
and acceleration built into it.
In one of these tests, actual tim
Ing of acceleration showed Il pick
PIP Of from to % miles per hour,
In second gear, in four seconds. a
record that is believed never be-
fore equalled by u light four cylin
der motor.
New low prices are announced
simultaneously by the factory, af-
feeting all models of the 1925 Star
motor cars. The new price range
bf delivered prices is from $679 on
The standard touring car, to $l095
For the sport sedan.
All models are equipped with
Four wheel brakes, of the locomo-
i've type. Balloon tires are stand .
brd equipment on some models, and /
optional on others.
The need for four wheel brake !
Equipment is becoming more and
more evident in the light car field !

Chinatown is all worked up over

One faction insists that the
new year starts January %, the
other favors January "a. Four
Chinese language newspapers
support one faction while the
other side has the support of
one.
AS the new year calls for pay

all obligations, the matter is so
important that requests have
been called TO authorities in
China to arbitrate the dispute.
