A TRACTION ENGINE. A Steam Wagon Unloads Itself From a Train A Remarkable Machine. Mr. D. L. Remington of Wood burn, Oregon, is the inventor of a traction or roadway engine that is said to surpass all othor'iuachines of this kind. Mr. Remington is an old acquaintance and friend of Dan iel Best of the agricultural works at San Leandro, and, by an arrange ment with Mr. Best, brought onu of his engines over tlie Oregon and California Railroad to San Iieandro, arriving there with it on Tuesday morning. Immediately after its ar rival tiro wasmadc under tho boiler, and as soon as steam was up, the machine, under tlie control oi Mr. Remington, unloaded itself, moving witli ease and grace from tho plat form car on which it stood to the platform beside the track and down tlie steep incline to the roadway.and thence to its quarters in tho agri cultural works. Tlie reason for bringing this machine from Oregon was to make a thorough and severe test of its power and capacities. This was done, and in every way tho ma chine gave the fullest satisfaction. Mr. Best and the large number of excellent mechanics in his establish ment, and that of the Hay Press Company, a'so, were delighted with the machine and its achievements. Its performances are almost marvel ous. It will draw a load of four tons up a grado of one foot in thrco feet, and it can be turned round in its own tracks, and it can bo run forward and backward with equal facility with a locomotive on a rail road track. Any unevennqss in tho surface of tlie ground makes no dif ference to tho machine. It will travel without upsetting on a hill side on which a wagon could be drawn, and it will go down into deep gullies and up and out without a halt. The main test at San Lean dro was to determine whether the machine would haul one of Best's grAit harvesters and the decision was that it would. Upon this thoro was no difference of opinion among those directly interested, nor among tho disinterested spectators in tho large crowd, among which were a number of farmers and merchants of the neighborhood. Tho macliino will with care and perfect, regular ity draw tho largest harvester through tho heaviest grain at a speed of six miles an hour. In Ore gon, it drew in tho stiff, clayey soil of tho Willamette val ley, at a speed of six miles an hour, a gang of six fourteen inch plows, turning over two acres per hour, with tho plows set ten inches deep. This was a great achievement, but the inventor says that a larger ma chine can bo mado which could be handled with the ease that this one is, that will do at least double the work of thisonein soil such as there is in the Alameda valley. One of the achievements of tho machine at San Leandro was to pull one of Best's heaviest harvesters out of a shed and over a steep embankment of a side track, and up a platform with an ascent of six feet In twenty. Tho steam gaugo showed a pressure of only GO pounds. When both en 'dtio and harvester stood on tho top of tho high platform, cheer after cheer went up from tho delighted crowd of spectators. It was an achievement tlie Inventor might well bo proud of. But tlie greatest test of tho pulling powers of tho mnchino was made by putting on the brake of tho harvester while on tho wny to tlie dopot and bringing tlie main wheel of tho harvester to a dead lock. There was no percept ible effect on tho machino ; it went along without tho least check in speed. Tho original macliino manu factured by Mr. Remington is at work in the forests of Oregon, draw ing logs to tho sawmill, "grubbing," and doing tho work of clearing land, among stumps and brush, where oxoii or hor&csi cannot bo used at all. From the success of tills trial there can bo no question about these machines becoming tho power for Hold work, plowing, harvesting, and threshing, and as they aro to bo manufactured at San Leandro, which is Intended by the Inventor and Mr. Best, tho new Industry will onlargo tho agricultural work 'thoro to several timiw their present capacity, and adds greatly to tlie population of the town. This Mr. Remington is a member of the family of tho same name, famous for its inventive genius. Cul. Ex. Ooln to Extern Oregon. Thede J.
