Victory For Compound
The triumph of the Rio Grande West
ern locomotives over those of theDenver
Rio Grande and the Midland railways
in recent tests between Denver and
Pueblo was not so much a triumph of
the railways or of the crews asit was
a victory of the compound type of loco
motive over the simple type Upon the
conclusion of the tests President Jeffery
of the Denver Rio Grande gave an
order for forty locomotives of the com
pound type so great was the saving
shown by this style of engine If all
the Rio Grande locomotives were com
pound the coal bills would be reduced
1000000 a year according to the show
ing made The tests were made under
the direction of Charles H Quereau
assistant superintendent of motive power
of the Denver Rio Grande Lincoln

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
