remaining divisions between Harlow

Lodge and Avery. The entire project
is to be completed in 1918.
Electrification Greatest Yet.
All this work Involves the expendi

the electrical construction worn win

road from Harlowton to . the Pacific
Coast, a main-line distance in the ag
gregate of 860 miles.
This will be the most extensive rail
way electrification in the world and
the first to employ as high a potential
as 3000 volts direct current. The most
powerful locomotives ever built will be
operated on its track. It will be the
first main-line transcontinental moun

undertaking where entire engine ais-

THAT the trend of the time is
toward tho electrification of all
steam-railroads is evidenced by
the announcement that definite plans
have been completed, and contracts
signed, for the operation of 113 route
miles of the Chicaeo. Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway by electric power.
The turbulent rivers ol Idaho and

turbine waterwheels and huge elec-1

generated in this way will be. trans

to the railroad, where it will take the
place of steam in hauling passenger
and freight trains over the mountains.

have been signed with the General
Electric Company, of Schenectady,
N. Y.. for the electric locomotives, sub
station aDDaratus and the line material.
The electrification of this road is
undertaken purely on economic grounds
with the expectation that superior op
pratinir results with electric locomo
tives will effect a sufficient reduction
in the present cost of steam operation
to return an attractive percentage on
the large investment required. If the
expected savings are realized in the
electric operation of the road this ini
tial installation will constitute one of
thA most imDortant milestones in elec
tric railway progress, and it should
lead to large developments in heavy
steam road electrification.
Economy Prompts Step.
There can be little doubt but that
the electrification of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul was favorably in
fluenced by the wonderful saving on the
Butte, Anaconda & Pacific electrified
division when electricity took the place
of steam about a year ago.
The total cost of the Butte, Anaconda
& Pacific electrification, including a
change of signal sytsem on Smelter
Hill, interest during construction and
all incidentals was in round numbers
$1,201,000. The salvage from 20 steam
locomotives Is not included in' these
figures. To say nothing of the increased
capacity, of the lines, the improvement
in the'service, etc. the savings' arc aa

This table shows that the railroad in
question has been able to operate 25.6
per cent less trains and get a 35 per
cent greater tonnage per train, with a
27.5 per cent saving in time required
per trip. . Originally, the estimate on
which the decision to proceed with this
electrification was made placed the ex
pected annual . net saving at 17.5 per
cent of the cost, so that the financial
results here have been quite as satis
factory as the general performance of
the equipment.
Three Mountains Crossed.
Between Harlowtown and Avery the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul crosses
three mountain ranges, all within ter
ritory known as the Great Continental
Divide. The maximum grade westbound
is 2 per cent for 20.8 miles on the east
ern approach of the Rocky Mountains,
and the maximum grade eastbound is
1.7 per cent for 24 miles approaching
the St. Paul pass tunnel through the
Bitter Root Mountains. Between the
ranges there are many miles of 0.3 to
0.6 per cent grades. The hardest prob
lem, however, is considered to be pre
sented by the continuous grade of near
ly 1 per cent for 49 miles ascending the
western slope of the Belt Mountains.
The electric locomotives will be con
structed to pull freight trains of 2500
tons up this grade at 16 miles an hour.
the heavier grades being negotiated
with a pusher locomotive as at present.
The necessity for operating the motors
at maximum continuous capacity for
this long distance is a condition that
has not been encountered heretofore in
work of this nature, and is significant
of a most important advance in electri
fication engineering.
Power Carried Far.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul
will receive Its electrical energy from
the Montana Power Company for the
entire 440 miles of main line electrifi
cation. .This power company covers a
large portion of Montana and Idaho
with' a network of transmission lines
which collects electrical energy from

When the road is electrified the train
dispatcher will also be the power dis
patcher to minimize "peak loads." It
is desirable to keep the "load" as
evenly distributed as possible. Since
the train dispatcher knows the loca
tion of all trains he may be able to
avoid an excessive peak in the energy

ARTISTS ADMIRE
Ask an artist what ha considers ths
chief charm of beautiful hair and ha
will answer that he looks for even
color, brilliance and a looseness that
eliminates any hard, definite lines. Nat
urally beautiful and healthy hair Is
obtained by retaining a perfectly clean
head. In washing the hair It Is not
advisable to use a makeshift, but al
ways use a preparation made for sham
pooing only. You can enjoy the best
that Is known for about three cents a .
shampoo by getting a package of can
throx from your druggist; dissolve a
teaapoonful In a cup of hot water and
your shampoo Is ready. After Its use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that It will
look much heavier than It Is. Its lustre
and softness will also delight jou,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth. Adv.
