The railroad men of the branch line
are authority for a report that the B. &
M. is surveying the route from Pneblo to
St. Francis, and that work on the road
bed will be commenced very soon. A
rumor of this sort is sprung annually. It
is possible it is true this time. We still
live in hopes.—Beaver City Tribune.
The Pennsylvania railroad people
some years ago began putting the sand
boxes for locomotives under the running
boards, the idea being that there
would be less obstruction to the view of
the engineer on curves than there was
with the sand-box on the boiler. The
thing has not worked well, however,and
it is likely that in future sand-boxes will
be put on the boiler. The difficulties
that bring about the change are damp
ness and the sand forming into a solid
core in the bottom of the tapered boxes.
A cunous thing has been discovered in
connection with the sand getting wet in
sand-boxes. It was found that the sand
in wrought-iron boxes was nearly always
damp, while that in cast-iron boxes was
seldom in that underirable condition.
Wrought-iron and pressed steel sand
boxes were coming rapidly into use, but
there was so much trouble with damn
sand in them that they are being aband
oned and the rejected cast-iron substitut
ed.—Locomotive Engineer.

The Great Northern railroad company
will give the public an opportunity dur
ing the coming summer to demonstrate
whether a first class steamboat is a real
or imaginary want. The steamboat
Northwest, which was launched at Cleve
land the other day, will be the largest
and finest boat on the lakes. It is, in
fact, more like an Atlantic liner than a
lake boat, and combines the best points
of both styles of craft. Regular trips
will be made between Duluth and Buffa
lo, at a speed of twenty miles an hour.
A second boat called the Northland will
be ready for service in July, and if the
two secure enough business to warranl
the investment other ships will be con
structed until a daily line is in operation.
The time will be a little longer than
competing railroad routes, but Managei
Hill believes the attractions of a lake
voyage will more than counteract the
disadvantage of a few extra hours on the
journey.—Journal.
A man, or woman either,can set a hen,
although they cannot sit her; the hen
might sit on them by the hour if they
would allow it. A man cannot set on a
wash bench, but he can set the basin on
it, and neither the basin nor the gramma
rians would object. . He could sit on the
dog’s tail, if it was all right witht he dog,
or he might set his foot on it. But if he
should set on the aforesaid tail, or sit his
toof there, the grammarians as well as
the dog would howl. And yet the man
might set the tail aside and sit down,and
be assailed neither by the dog nor the
grammarians. And so on.
