SMOKELESS ENGINE
Puffing merrily and puling a long
train of cars the first engine that
Omaha ever saw that did not smoke
passed through the Burlington yards
Monday afternoon The engine is
on its way to Sheridan Wyo where
it is to make a practical demonstra
tion of its value
Figures taken by the test run
show that it will operate more cheap
ly and the danger of cinders setting
afire grass and buildings is done
away with besides the disagreeable
ness of the smoke
Lignite the soft coal whioh gener
ally produces such black smoke is
to be burned in the new engine The
use of lignite in old style engines has
caused many a prairie and forest fire
A stoker the Barnum stoker as it
is called is the feature of the en
gine The Barnum stoker was first
patented by Charles E Barnum of
Omaha who is now dead It is own
ed by the Barnum Manufacturing
company now of which Fred Mont
morency of the Burlington is pres
ident and Arthur C Smith of the M
E Smith company is vice president
The two Omaha men have worked
five years with the original design
and now consider it perfected
The principal of the no smoke de
vice is the stoking It feeds the
coal beneath instead of throwing it
on top the mechanical stoker also
doing away with the labor of the fire
man As the coal is raised to the
fire level the volatile fumes arise
into the flames and are burnt up
making a saving of heat In the
breaking up process by the heat the
cinders are all burned up before they
can get through the fire so there
is no waste material to arise tlirough
the smokestack except the steam or
possibly the thinnest haze of blue
fumes
The engine is particularly adapt
ed to the use of cheap soft coal and
uses less than an ordinary engine
Six tons were used on the run from
Burlington la a run which usually
takes nine tons
One of these engines has been in
use in the Chicago switching yards
for two months and is reported to
be working finely Omaha Bee
NEGOTIATING FOR ROOM
Denver June 27 The Burlington
railway officials announce that they
are willing to let the Union Pacific
have Walnut Market street for in
dustrial tracks if the Union Pacific
will relinquish Blake street to the
Burlington From present indications
the city council will take no action
in the contest of the Burlington and
Union Pacific until after Mayor Speer
returns from his European trip The
Union Pacific is preparing to submit
a proposal in opposition to the one
made by the Burlington which of
fered to pay a bonus of 50000 to the
city and to pave the parts of the
street that will be occupied by it if
a revocable permit is granted in its
name General Manager Holdrege
and Vice President Burnham of the
Burlington and Colorado Southern
are expected in Denver on Friday
