Hauling the regular afternoon thru
freight, the diesel engine burning
oil for fuel was on a demonstration
run ordered by railroad officials,
who are said to be contemplating adj

was witnessed by only handful of
persons, gathered at the station to
see the locomotive, for advance no
tice that the train was coming thru

hours before it was scheduled.
With its motors humming and a
hoarse whistle blasting for crossings,
the reddish-orange colored diesel To-
comotive went thru Bluffton at slow
speed. It was pulling train Of So
loaded freight cars and a caboose.

The diesel engine took over the
train at Bellevue and pulled it to
Lima, where it was replaced by a
coal burning engine. At Lima the
diesel switched to the d. 7. and I.
tracks, also for demonstration pur-
poses. Later in the week it is expec-
ted to. return thru Bluffton east
bound.

run bore the number FM 1000 and is

Temperature Hits High Mark
OF SO Degrees Tuesday
Afternoon
No Immediate Relief in Sight:
Rains Benefit Crop
Prospects

Heat, which has blanketed the
Blutfton area almost continuously for
the past two weeks showed no signs
of abating Wednesday as tempera-
lures again shot up into the upper
nineties. No relief is in sight be-
fore the end of the week at the
earliest.
Highest temperature of the week
was recorded at 80 here Tuesday
afternoon, although street thermom-
eters showed from to s degrees
above that figure.
A high degree of humidity made
the heat more intense as residents
sought in vain for a measure of
relief.
Outlook for crops in the Bluffton
district, however, is improved fol-
lowing heavy electrical storm and
downpour of rain last Thursday
night. The rain greatly benefited
the corn now at critical stage and
also potatoes, growers said.
