The work on the new coal chute at the
railroad yards is being rapidly pushed
forward , and when the writer was there ,
yesterday , they thought the work would
be completed in about a week so that engines - J
gines would be taking their coal there.
The trestle work has been completed and
the track was being laid up the incline-
plane , yesterday. The cars of coal will
be run up the incline and then can be
dumped into the chutes ready for filling 1
the engines , as it can be dumped into 1
storage-way , underneath from which it l
can be hoisted by machinery into the
chutes. There are ten of the chutes and
are what is known as the Kera improved.
This is the latest and most improved *
chutes and is a big improvement over
those in use in Hastings and McCook ,
which were at the time they were put up
considered something fine. Everything •
about it is substantially built. Eight '
carloads of lumber were used in the construction - I
struction of the trestle and chuteswhich '
will probably cost upwards of $3,000.
Each one of the chutes has a capacity of
five tons , but they will be filled with dif
ferent amounts so that an engineer can J
select the chute having just the amount •
of coal that he wants for his engine. All <
he has to do is to pull down the grate 1
and when he has filled his engine close *
it up. It will be as easy and quick to 1
take coal as water. At the present time 1
something like thirty tons of coal is -
taken here daily , while probably still '
more will be used in the future. It will i
cost 7 cents a ton to handle coal now (
whereas it has cost 14 cents under the
old method besides the cost of unloading
the coal into the bin. Holdrege Citizen- 1
