a trip to Colorado Springs this week Automatic Stoker Wins An automatic locomotive stoker has made its appearance on the Panhandle and it bids fair to make the firemans position a sinecure Despite the fact that the contrivance is said to be prov ing a success there is no talk of doing without the services of firemen who will be expected to take more part in the running of the engines provided the fuel is taken care of The company has equipped engine No 319 with the device The engine ran into Columbus recently on time with its flues leaking after a hard run and with its steam blowing off During the entire trip the fireman had toyed with the furniture of the cab in order to keep busy It is stated that although the engine had a hard load to pull steam pressure was maintained at the maximum every mile of the distance The automatic stoker is operated by a small engine supplied with steam from the locomotive so that the engine may be said to feed itself The coal is dis tributed regularly over the entire grate area and with the perfect evenness so much sought after The use of the stoker obviates the necessity of opening the fire door and consequently there is no cold air streaming onto the fire from that source For SaleCheap A 7 room house with 8 acres of land Will sell at very reasonable figure In quire at PaDes Furniture Store Ladles Why allow your hair to all come out when by
