Makes First Trip on Tracy-Wa.
tertOwn Branch. Gas Engine
Develops Power

A new gas-electric engine wa:
placed into the passenger service
'ecently on the Chicago & North Yves
ern Railway on the Waterfowl
branch. The new motor equipment
IS the first to appear on the Minneso.
ia division. 1t will pull the regular
passenger train on that line, making
a round trip daily between here and
Watertown, S. D.
The new engine resembles some
what a regular passenger car only
much longer, the total length being
rs feet. In the front end of the car
which is built of steel, is located the
engine room. In this section is To-
Gated the 275 horse gasoline engine
and electric generator. The genera
tor is connected directly to the gas
engine and the car is driven by regu-
lar traction motors used on street
cars. The front end of the car looks
very much like a street car with its
front windows for the engineer and
control levers operating the motor.
But on the interior there is little SIM
.larity, as the car carries its own
: motor plant.
The engine is operated by an engin-
eer and no fireman is carried. The
motor is what is known as fan mo-
tor and runs 1900 to 1000 revolu-
lions per minute. 1t has a water
cooled radiator and gasoline tanks for
$50 gallons of gasoline. Mr.. B. Bliss
stated that after the engine was in
operation awhile it would run two
miles on gallon of gasoline.
The engine and train has electric
lights throughout and came here
equipped with snow pillow attached
to the engine, prepared for winter.
: Instead of the old steam whistle with
its loud scream, the engine is equip
ped with Monarch air horn. Mr..
Degnan stated that the sound of this
horn was very similar to that of the
horn used on buses.
The car which composes the motor
init is really train. In the front
= there is the engine room; back of this
comes a baggage and mail section; In
the middle of the car, a smoker, and
on the rear a regular passenger sec
lion with double seats upon one side
and three-person seats upon the other
side, the car seating in this way five
passengers in each row of seats in
itead of four in the regular passen-
ser cars. The car and entire unit is
,uilt of steel, the car being manufac
ured by the Pullman Company of
chicago, where the motor unit is as

cows they are better market for
this feed grain than the elevator. If
he is short of grain he can afford to
buy it at present prices. The proper
grain ration fed with roughage will
greatly increase his income for the
roughage he is selling through the
cow.
Cow testing association reports
show that as the production of but
terfat increases from 100 pounds per
cow to 800 pounds, the price received
for the roughage the cow eats increas-

In the education Of the masses.
Farmers Need Schools Worst
There can be no Improvement OF
the agricultural or industrial condi-
tions OF this or any other state ex-
cept that which grows nj Of the ac-
complishments OF an intelligent eiti-
Zenship.
Commercial farming shall not be
tolerated in this or any other com
monwealth. Its onward movement
and its early development with its
blighting influence can be arrested
in only one way. BY the prompt es-
adjustment of an efficient system Of
public free schools, accessible to the
children of those who till the soil.
Year after year., those who desire
equal educational opportunity for all
the children have heard the hollow
promises Of candidates for office and
year after year have observed that
those promises have been ignored and
forgotten.
An interesting picture II would be
TO parallel the promises before cleo
tion Of successful candidates for Of
flee and their performances after they
are elected.
Quotes Statutes
What will the candidates for cover
nor. for the state senate and the leg
, islature do to compel a strict compli-
ance with Article ]. Section Z of the
Constitution Of the state, which is as
follows.
"A general diffusion OF knowledge
being essential 70 the preservation Of
the liberties and rights of the people,
il shall be the duty OF the legislature
of the state to establish and make
suitable provision for the support
and maintenance Of an efficient sys-
tenn Of public free schols."
Concluding this communication may
! suggest TO those who are building
/ cities and seeking the industrial de-
velopment Of this state that the only
safe and permanent foundation for
the structure which they hope to fin
ish will be an intelligent. educated,
prosperous citizenship on every foot
OF Texas soil. If it cost the state
more than 500. 900. 900 additional
money annually to bring such result.
