Whitney Company Buys Mbllet Articulated Engine from Baldwin Works

Baldwin articulated engine, only one of its kind In existence.
The Whitney company, Ltd., which
thin summer will be operating logging
camps on Whitney creek and Blind
slough, tributaries to the Columbia
river near Knappa, Or., has recently
purchased a Mallet articulated locomo
tive for logging nervlce. This engine,
which Is now due, to arrive here, wa
nuiit by me uaiawm Locomotive warns,
It Is similar to one recently construct
ed by the same builders for the Little
River railroad of Tennessee, but Is
heavier and develops a higher force.
The Mallet articulated locomotive,
named after Its inventor, consists of
two engines, placed under one bollor.
Kuch engine rotates a separate group of
driving wheels. The bollor Is rigidly
mounted on' the frames, of- the back en
Klne and is supported on the front
frames by sliding bearings. The front
frames are hinged to the rear frames,
nt a point on the center line of the
locomotive, between the cylinders of fhe
back engine. The cylinders are ar
ranged on the compound system. Steam
is conveyed from the throttle valve to
the rear or high pressure cylinders,
through rigid pipes. It then passes to
the front or low pressure cylinders,
through a flexible pipe and a second
fluxlble pipe conveys the exhaust steam
from the low pressure cylinders to the
sniokebox. The steam finally escapes
up the stack In the usual manner.
When the engine enters a curve the
front group -of wheels swings about
the hinge pin as a center, and the
flexible pipes accommodate themselves
to the relative, positions of the boiler
and' cylinders. As these pipes carry
steam of only moderate pressure, no
difficulty Is experienced In keeping the
Joints tight. .
, Suitable on Grades.
Locomotives of this type are espe
cially suitable for service on lines hav
lng heavy grades and sharp curves, as
they are flexible ana easy on tno ran,
and a large proportion of the total
weight can be placed on the driving
wheels. Where the runs are short, the
fuel and water supply may be carried
on the frames of the loiymotive and
If all the wheels are coupled as drivers
the entire weight is available for adhe
sion. Where longer runs are to be
made, the fuel and water are carried
in a separate tender, and if many sharp
curves must be traversed, it is ''fre
quently desirable to place front and
rear trucks under the locomotive. These
trucks are equalized with the adja
cent group of driving wheels; they pro
vide an excellent distribution of weight
and reduce shocks and blows when
passing over uneven places In the
track.
The locomotive for the Whitney com
pany has two pairs of driving wheels
in each group, with a two wheeled
truck front and back. A separate ten-'
der Is provided. The boiler Is fitted
for olF burning and 1500 gallons of
fuel oil may be carried on the tender.
,The burner Is placed In the front end
of the firebox. In accordance with
Sduthern Pacific practice.
Equipped With Airbrakes.
The locomotive is equipped with M
C. B. couplers. Airbrakes are applied
to the driving and tender' Wheels, with
train connections front and back. Sand
Is delivered to the rear group of wheels
from a box placed over the boiler and
to the front group from two boxes
placed low down over the forward deck
plate. With this arrangement, no flex
ible sand pipes are required. The
equipment throughout la specially suit
able for the service.
The total weight of the engine and
tender is 243,000 pounds.
The road will be built three miles
into the timber from the head of Blind
slough.

The Washington street of the East Side, is alfeady decided upon. The word has gone out, to
the effect that Union avenue is to be the great business street of the city the longest, widest
and best paved and some day will be lined with great business buildings its whole six miles
length. All the great travel between Western Washington and Oregon crossing the mighty
Columbia river will traverse this popular avenue. Do you realize what that means to any one
who is lucky enough to own a lot on or near this great coming business street? What would
you give to have your chance over again and know what you do now of Washington street val
ues? The same thing will occur on Union avenue, and property values will no doubt go sky
high in a few years on Union avenue, which cuts our two beautiful additions.
