He made the nation's first rail road survey for what later, be came the beginnings of the pres ent Pennsylvania -Railroad. . In 1826 he built the first locomo tive to run on tracks in America. Later, Edwin and Robert Stev ens built the first railroad in New. Jersey, the Camden & Amboy, which today also is part of the Pennsylvania system. Robert Stevens invented the railroad track as it is known today, with its "T''-. rail, wooden cross-ties and hook - headed spikes to hold therri together. He invented the so-called "cow catcher." ' . Colonel Stevens did much for, New .York City. He engineered its first water supply system and worked but plans for .sewage disposal. He made proposals con sidered fantastic at the time. Floating Hospitals Proposed He proposed f ireboats and floating hospitals for communi cable - diseases, a tunnel under the Hudson and a bridge over it,, elevated- railways, 'unshak able" ships, a system of aque ducts, to replace ;: wells y and springs, a ' detailed plan for street cleaning and an offshore gun battery to defend New York Harbor. ..' ' Edwin Stevens founded the Institute, the first college in the nation to grant the degree of mechanical engineer. Wednesday, February 2, 1935 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NDSE Hoboken, N. J. (U.R) On a bluff high above the Hudson river stands majestic Castle Stevens, a 100-year-old , land mark that once served as work shop for an entire family of in ventive geniuses. The two-story, 30-room man sion, now part of the Stevens Institute of Technology, once was the home of Col. John Stev ens and three of his sons, Robert John and Edwin. Together they influenced a "century of Ameri can progress in transportation, engineering and invention. ' The imposing gray structure, with its square tower once sur mounted by a captain's walk, was built by Robert Livingston Stevens in 1854 to replace Stev ens Villa. The villa had been built by Robert's father,' Col. John Stevens, treasurer of New Jersey during the American Revolution. The : land on which the two mansions were built is known as Castle Point, which is part of the . island estate Colonel Stev ens bought from the government after the war. The present city of Hoboken, which later came to occupy most of. the island, was named by Stevens after an Indian legend. Transport Firsts From Castle Point, Stevens and his three inventor-sons de veloped a number of "firsts" in steam and rail transportation. Working together, father and sons designed, built and op erated the" first wholly American-built, steamboat of commer cial importance. The design was begun in 1806, a full year before Fulton's Clermont, powered by an English Watt engine, made its debut on the Hudson. . The Stevens boat, Phoenix, later became the first steamship to sail the ocean in 1809. The voyage, resulted from the vessel being forced off the Hudson when Fulton received an exclu sive charter to. . operate there. ' ; In -.1804," the Stevens family had sailed, the first steam-driven boat to be propelled by. twin screws, instead of paddle wheels. Twin, screws are now. generally used by ' all sizeable vessels. Equipped .With Boiler . The boat." Juliana, also was equipped with a multitubular boiler developed by the Stev ens family. Today, the boiler is used widely on steamships and railroads.: Early in the 19th century, Colonel Stevens and Edwin ex perimented with armor - clad warships and armor - piercing projectiles. They designed the first ironclad warship in 1841. Later, they built . Naugatuck, fa semi-submersible ironclad that fought the Confederate Merri mac during the Civil War. A later Stevens family con tribution was the double-ended ferry boat that doesn't have to be turned, around. These are a familiar sight today on the Hud son and other waterways. John Stevens devoted much of his time to building fast sail ing vessels. He operated Ameri ca, fastest ship of its class in a race against 15 British ships. The race wasn't even close. Too Much of Pacific Said Held by Military Washington (U.R) Chair man Clair Engle of the House Interior committee said today the military has too much terri tory, in the Pacific and "ought to be kicked off some f it." The California Democrat made the observation at hearings on the statehood for Hawaii bill when Rep. A. L. Miller (R-Neb.) suggested an amendment, per mitting the President to "take over any part , of the territory for military purposes." Miller said the authority : might be needed in the "defense of the Pacific." Rep. John P. Saylor, (R-Pa.), a leading advocate of Hawaiian statehood, said the President al ready has such power and the proposed amendment is unnec essary. Anyway, - he said, the Defense department has not re quested that authority. .The Golden Plover is one of the most outstanding of all mi grating birds. It nests on the Alaskan tundra in summertime, and with the approach of cold weather, makes a nonstop flight of 2,400 miles to Hawaii. In late spring it returns to Alaska. rjecsETriE j Phone 2-5336 or 2-5897 M. C. LININGER & SONS Browning Introduces Double Automatic Shotgun After 8 Years of Experiments Ogden,.U t a h (U.R) The Brownings came out today with a new '"double automatic", shot gun,' the result of eight years of experiment and research and the latest .triumph; for a family famous for -: gun-making rf 6 u r generations. . ' ,. , " The name of Browning; has been a byword in American gun design since before the civil war. It is also a familiar name in Ogden, where the Brownings have made their home since 1851 ' and where many of. the famous guns bearing their-name were? invented. - . . .. ,- MAY" BE SLEEPER ; Detroit U.R) Coach Buddy Parker said today" Duncan . Mc Donald, who couldn't win; the regular quarterback job at Michigan,- might be the top "sleeper" acquired.fcy the. Detroit Lions in last week's National Football league "player draft at New York. Parker waited until the 26th round of the draft to claim Mc Donald, which would indicate that interest was tacking in the passing perfectionist from Flint, Mich. Such was not the case with the Lions. . An ultra-modern workshop on a downtown Ogden street is the current headquarters of : the Browning gunsmiths and a far cry from the Kentucky moun tain . cabin where Jonathan Browning started the family trade in 1831. Jonathan, who later perfected a lever action gun that was the basis for the famous Winchester, moved to Ogden in 1851. His son, John Moses Browning, wa3 born in an adobe house here in 1855. Greatest Gunsmith John Moses in his lifetime im proved the lever action rifle, invented the automatic -pistol, designed the first practical ma chine gun and patented the mod ern repeating rifle. Most of his 129 firearms pat ents were turned over to manu facturers such as Colt, Winches ter and Remington for-actual production. When ; he died in 1924 he had been described as "the greatest gun wizard of the modern age" and his mantle fell on his son Val. Val Browning now heads the Browning enterprises and al ready his two sons, John Val, 30, and Bruce, 27, are knee-deep in the gun business. " - In an interview at the Brown ing 'officesV Val Browning said the n e w "double automatic" shotgun has taken eight years to perfect. It employs an entire ly: different basic design than his father's famous Browning automatic, and features fewer parts that move shorter dis tances. The new gun, which is being manufactured in Belgium, har nesses the recoil with speed that permits rapid firing of any weight of 12 gauge, shell. Be cause migratory bird hunting regulations limit the number of shells an automatic in a hunter's hands can fire, the first produc tion model holds only two, but models . with greater capacity are being designed. . - Browning said the gun also employs new alloys that make it weigh a full pound less than his father's widely used shotgun and considerably less than the Browning "super-posed" shotgun that had ,two barrels, one on top of the other.
