Monster Freight Engines Weighing
342.000 Pounds Ready for Service
on the Mountain Division Will
Haul 100 Tons More Over Moun
tains Than Engines Fonnely In Use
Smaller Engines Will Be Sent to
Level Districts on tlie System.
No other railroad In the west Is
now so well equipped with motive
power as the O. R. & X. since the ar
rival from the Philadelphia shops of
15 monster engines for use on the sys
tem between La Grande and Port
land. Within the past week 15 consoli
dated freight engines have been re
ceived at La Grande and are now be
ing placed in service as rapidly as
possible. The engines were manufac
tured by the Baldwin Locomotive
works of Philadelphia, and are the
largest and best engines now in serv
ice In the northwest.
These engines are equipped with
eight 57-inch drivers, the cylinders
are 22x30 and the steam pressure
carried by the boilers Is 200 pounds,
although they have been tested for
and would carry with safety 250
pounds If necessary.
The total weight of the engine and
tender loaded with coal and water,
ready for service, Is 342,000 pounds.
The total weight of engine and tender
without water or coal Is 231,000
pounds.
The weight on the drivers Is 186,900
pounds and each drive wheel has a
tractive force on the rail of 43,305
pounds. The tanks are rectangular
and carry 7000 gallons of water. The
boilers are supplied with 413 2-Inch
tubes and the firebox has a heating
capacity of 33.970 square feet.
They will haul about 100 tons more
over the mountains than the smaller
engines formerly used by the O. R. &
X. They do not use more coal than
some types of smaller engines and
the cost of operating trains with them
is less than with smaller engines be
cause of the greater tonnage these
engines handle.
The tonnage for these engines be
tween Umatilla and Pendleton will be
about 1500 tons, between Pendleton
and Xorth Fork about 1100 and from
Xorth Fork to Kamela about 700
tons. The pay of the engineer for
running this class of engine Is (4.95
per 100 miles, and of the fireman
12.95 per 100 miles.
A number of the engines will be
taken to Alblna for final equipment
for service on the Southern Pacific,
while the remainder will be placed In
service on the Mountain division of
the O. R. & X. between Umatilla and
Huntington. They will pass through
Pendleton on freight trains every day
after ready for service on the road.
The smaller engines now In use will
be sent to the Washington division
and to the level divisions between
Umatilla and Portland.

After having made a tour of In
spection through the country along
the line of the W. & C. R., E. L.
Smith, the prominent merchant and
wheetralser, declares crop conditions
are now much better than usual at
this time of the year, and that If
proper rains are had In June a bump
er wheat crop will be harvested.
Mr, Smith has 4000 acres now In
wheat In the vicinity of Helix, and
It Is his custom to go over that sec
tion about this time every year to
note the prospects This time hie
found things much more favorable
than last winter, for he made his
trip then Just after the freexe and
gave orders to have the land reseed-
ed.
In the opinion of Mr. Smith, there
Is now no danger from a possible
freeze, as the land la so moist that
grain would not be killed even should
there be very cold weather. Though
the growth would be retarded, the
moisture would protect the roots and
save the grain from being frozen out
Through having to reseed practical
ly all of their land last spring, the
farmers of the W. ft C. R. section
were forced to use the wheat on hand
for rcseedlng purposes and for horse
feed. Also, much time was required
for reseeding. However, this year
they are better situated than they
were a year ago.
While on his trip Mr. Smith went
to Helix, vansycle and Juniper. In
coming back he went down to Athe
na on the branch line from Klllian
Junction and came to Pendleton on
the Spokane train last evening. Ry
the route tnken he was able to cover
practically the entire conuty north of
here.
He says there Is no great difference
in the appearance of the wheat
around Athena and Adams and up
on the W. & C. R., though some of
it around the former places was
earlier sown and consequently now
more advanced.
Should conditions from now until
harvest time be favorable Mr. Smith
says the wheat yield along the W. &
C. R. will average between 40 and 45
bushels per acre. However, In the
sections further west and north
where the land Is newer and not so
well farmed, the yield will be lighter.
The fact that almost all of the wheat
is fall sown this year accounts partly
for the splendid harvest prospects. It
Is generally conceded that fall sown
wheat will yield from five to 10 bush
els more than spring sown grain.
