The Biggest Locomotive.
The biggest and most powerful
locomotive in the world belongs to
the Santa Fe.
There are other big things on the
Santa Fe. The biggest Canyon in
the world is on the Santa Fe, in Ari-
zona. The tracks of the Santa Fe
would reach one-third the distance
around the globe. They serve (with
others) the two largest States in the
Union—Texas and California. The
new engine number 989 is, however,
the latest acquisition in way of big
things and naturally is an object of
great interest, particularly to railway
men. It is a bold venture in mas-
siveness and represents the highest
achievement of American builders
in producing an engine of enormous
tractive power. It weighs with the
tender 394,700 pounds, orl97£tons.
From the end of the tender to the
point of the pilot it measures seventy
teet. Two engines of 989's type, if
they could be suspended in the air
one above the other, Would reach a
height nearly as great as Niagara.
The top cf the stunted smokestack
is sixteen feet above the ties.
On a level track 989 could haul a
train a mile and a half long, carrying
the harvest of 10,000 acres of wheat.
Its tractive power is 53,900 pounds,
that is, it could lift that amount of
dead weight. Ten massi\e driving
wheels, nearly as tall as a man and
co heavily counterbalanced that they
appear almost solid, grip twenty feet
of track. On these ten drivers,
which gave the name of decapod to
this type of engine, a weight of
232,000 pounds is carried.
Its firebox made of carbon steel,
tested to a tensile strength of 60,000
pounds to the square iuch, is about
as big as the bed-chamber of a Chi-
cago flat. Its two thick shells are
held together by nearly 2,000 tough
stay bolts, each one capable of lift-
ing a yard engine without breaking.
The grate area is sixty square feet,
which is unapproached in any other
locomotive ever built.
The heating surface of the Santa
Fe's great freighter measures nearly
double that of the English record-
breaker, or exactly 4,682 square feet.
Between the tube sheets 989's boiler
measures eighteen and one-half feet,
and in the big barrel are massed
flues two and one-fourth inches in
diameter. Placed end to end these
flues would make a pipe a mile and
a half long.
In 989 the massive low-pressure
cylinders are next to the forward
drivers. The smaller high-pressure
cylinders are directly ahead—a con-
struction which makes one piston rod
do for each pair of cylinders.
The cylinders of 989 are the great-
est castings ever made in the Schen-
ectady shops. Their gross weight
in the moulds was 25,340 pounds.
The DeWitt Clinton, tender and all,
did not weigh as much as one of
these castings.

James F. Bell of Endee N. M.,
was a pleasant caller at this office
on Monday and gave us a nice order
for job work. He has a fine stal-
lion vhich he is offering for service
at his ranch, three miles west of
Endee.
We know of a thoroughly reliable
and competent grocery clerk who
desires a position in this section of
the country. Best of references from
present employers, with whom he
has been for the past ten years. If
you need such a man kindly let us
know or write tc Oliver Fetherolf,
Binghamton, N. Y., care of Humes
& Smith. 5ltf
Frank Vaughn of Dimmitt was in
town Saturday and got the official
stationery which he ordered printed
at this office. He will be a candi-
date again for the office of sheriff of
Castro county, which he has so ac-
ceptably filled for the past two years.
THIS is without doubt the best Piano sold in the Pan-
handle today. Its easy action and pure, clear,
mellow tone give it a standing among competent
musicians that is not reached by any other Piano sold in
these parts. The fact that during the thirty-six years that
the Mathushek Piano has been manufactured, over thirty
thousand have been sold and not a single case of broken
plate has been reported,
is sufficient testimony as
to the strength and sta-
bility of the iron frame,
one of the most important
features of a piano. Only
the best of materials is
used in the construction
of this Piano, and the
building of the same is
entrusted only to compe-
tent workmen, who are
employed by the day in-
stead of by piece work,
as is common in all other
makes.
If you are contemplat-
ing buying a Piano it will
be greatly to your advantage to investigate the qualities of
this excellent instrument. We carry a large stock of these
Pianos at our store in Amarillo and will be pleased to
show them to you whether you buy or not. Every instru-
ment guaranteed. Yours for music,
