iwas kept busy all yesterday handing out
badges to the largo number of members
or tne order who are in tbo city. Mr.
Unltt estimated that ha gov out over
3,000 badges.
Very little business was transacted at
the old building, owing to tbo large num.
jber of visitors who passed ' through the
(rooms and visited with the clerks. Rep
jresentaUves of the order from almost
very state In the union are here for tne
jblg parade and dedication. A rough estfc
'mate of the number of Woodmen In town
lis placed at about 6,000. Ot this number
over 8,000 are visitors to the city.
Woodmen visitors had a hard time try
ing to secure rooms for the remainder of
She week. AU the hotels art crowded
jnd hundreds are being. turned away.
.The executive council of the order Issued
letters asking the resident members to
try and make room In their tomes for
Ithe visitors and It is thought that over
'1,090 were placed in this manner.
On every street Woodmen badges were
Sn evidence. The Omaha budges are
.white with red a"d blue letters on them,
(white the visitors wear various designs.
jAmong the prettiest ones, which are be
ing worn by Lincoln members, is a gilded

BIGGEST ENGINE IN WORLD
Eaovmoas Tractive Power, with -"
perbeatlac garface f 1,310
Beware PXeet, -
A locomotive with 115,000 pounds tractivs
power' breaks all previous records. A
unit as powerful as this is astounding.
This tractive power U provided In the
tour jdaiiet locomotives which have just
been built for the Virginian railway, and
is obtained with less than 50,000 pounds
average weight per driving axle. Con
sidered from that point of view, these
locomotives have an added significance.
In all parts of the country railroad offi
cials are considering how to secure the
power required to most efficiently meet
a particularly difficult service without
exceeding the existing limitations on axle
loads. This was exactly the problem on
the Virginian railway, and these looomo-
tires were developed to meet It ' i
They will each be aUe to haul 1S6 loaded
fiftyHon capacity freight cars at ten
rallas per hour; each has sixteen driving
wheels; locomotive and tender weigh 7K,
000 pounds, and the firebox Is large
enough to hold a donkey switching loco
motive. With these locomotives In helper
servloe the official expect ' to Increase
the maximum train load over a fourteen
mil, 1.07-per-cent grade to 4,230 tons.
The crucial point on the entire line over
whtah all tonnage passes Is that portion
between Elmore and Clark's Gap, on the
Deepwater division, a Ctatano of about
fourteen mi lea The last eleven and a
half miles of this is on a 2.07-per-cent
grade, with maximum compensated ourvee
at twelve degrees. For the first two and
a halt miles the grade is B per cent At
present trains are usually operated over
this grads with one Mallet of the light
est class at the head and two of th
heavier locomotives as helpers, ( '
With this power the maximum trail)
over the mountain Is 8.M0 tons. This Is,
approximately, (00 tons less than the Mal
let road engine -can take through over
the remainder of the division. As the
road ia single track and the volume ot
traffic constantly Increasing, It is essen
tial to Increase . the maximum through
tonnage. .
The enormous locomotives were devel
oped In order to accomplish this result
without Increasing the number of loco
motives which .the present maximum
train requires over the ruling grade. They
will take the place of the Mallets now
used as helpers, which will be put Into
road service. With two of the Mallets as
helper and on of the class having 2,0Q0
pounds tractive power a a road engine,
making a oombined tractive force of 832,
000 pounds, It is expected, a previously
stated, to take a maximum train of 4,130
tons over the Clark's Gap ! grade. The
road engine, unaided, will take this train
through to Princeton, the terminal of the
division.
Apart from the enormous weight and
power of tfts locomotive 'as a whole, the
dimensions of some of the principal parts
are Impressive as showing the extent
with which all limits were exceeded In
Its design and construction. The follow
ing warrant special attention: Outside
diameter of boiler at largest ring, 118
inches; tubes, 844, 24 inches diameter;
flues, 48, 5ft Inches diamter; heating sur
face, 8,700 square feet; superheating sur
face, 1,810 square feet; "firebox ring, 18ftx
119 ' inches; length - of boiler, 60 feet ltt
Inches; ' low-pressure cylinders,' 44x32
Inches; high-pressure cylinders, ' 28x88
inches; tender capacity, 12,000 gallon of
water and IE. ton of coal
Following the builder's latest approved
practice for this type , of locomotive, the
engine are equipped 'with superheaters .
The superheater is, ' of . the fire-tube,
double-loop type. The .superheated tab,
are contained in forty' flues' three and a
half Inohes In dlatneter. Vanadium steel
was extensively used " for those . parts
which are subjected to. the greatest strain
The parts constructed .. of this material
Include , engine frame, erossheads, driv

and tender truck springs, main driving
axles, main crank pins and piston spider.
