The Columbus Cougars, caught
the Locomotives on the rebound,
after their close one with Billings
on Wednesday, and the Laurel team
went all out to hand their rivals

feat. The victory was especially
sweet since the Cougars had given
the Laurel team a As to 81 lacing

Kennard Cook opened the scoring

the locals held their slight lead

Laurel started hitting consistently

Columbus Cougars, 81 to %, Fri

on the Laurel court before capac-

The Locomotives muffed a big
opportunity in the last quarter to
tie up the score with the Broncs
and maintained an undefeated re-
cord on their home court this sea-
son. The local boys lost their
poise in the first quarter when Bill
lings got a few breaks and with
the score at one time Is to 6

Broncs wouldn't even have to take
off their warmups. But the second
half was a different story.
Herb Boyd stole the ball on the
opening tipoff and scored the first
field goal for Laurel. Michotte
evened the count with two free

interruption of gasoline and fuel oil de-
liveries to the East coast by ocean.
This important task had to be taken over
by the railroads, and the engines which
were built to haul Great Northern freight
trains across the continental divide were
rushed into action in other parts of the
country.
For more than two years the Great
Northern has had to do its part of the
war job with what it had. Not until
recently has there been any relief in sight.
But now three new mammoth Diesel
electric engines are hauling heavy freight
trains between Havre and Whitefsh,
Montana. Each engine rates $500 horse
power, measures 1913 feet, and weighs
463 tons.
By fall it is expected that ten more of
these engines will be in operation on this
mountain division. They will release
nearly twice that number of steam loco
motives for service on other parts of the
system.
And that is good news for the determined
workers in roundhouses and locomotive
shops whose achievement in meeting
every requirement for power, when it was
needed, has fashioned another brilliant
Victory for the home front.

Roundhouses aren't very glamorous
places. They don't make pretty pictures.
The men and women who work in them
know the smell of smoke and the feel of
grease.
For theirs is the serious and rather grimy
business of grooming thousands upon
thousands of horsepower, day in and
day out-overhauling, repairing, servic-
ing and checking the tons of whirling
steel and iron that haul the trains.
They fight too, these men and women
fight time, for engines are desperately
needed all around the clock; fight engine
failures, for failures delay this grim bust
ness of war.
When this country went into the war,
the Great Northern had 882 engines.
That was fewer-by 5f3-than were in
service during the first World War.
With fewer but more powerful engines,
the Great Northern is moving more
than twice the traffic it did during the
first World War. That gives an idea of
what has been going on in its round
houses and locomotive shops.
When Japan struck at Pearl Harbor
several huge Diesel-electric engines were
nearing completion for the Great North
ern. But almost Immediately came the
