ELECTRICITY REPLACING STEAM
OX RAILROADS
Qecauso Alaska, has available for
developmeut waterpower to operate
the railroads of the territory by
electricity when that method is de
veloped to a point of standardization
of equipment, it is with interest
that the people of the northland
are watching the pioneer work be
ing 'one by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St Paul railway, which is spend
ing fifteen million dollars in the
electrification of its mountain di
visions from Harlow tow u, Mont., to
Avery, Idaho. Over this 440-mile
stretch the work has been in pro
gress for about three years. It is
predicted that the first section of
113 miles will be iu operation early
this month, and the entire project is
•rapidly nearly completion. The
change this transformation will
brin^ about iu transportation coufli
tions will be well-nigh revolution
ary.
1 here are to be 11 electrical sub
stations on the route from Harlow
town to Avery, equipped with high
tension electrical transformers that
TTni. "S".1?0 transmit oower at
lines Oi. tne system v. Hi be >ed \vit"h
a 3000-volt direct current. The
average cost of the individual sub
station will.be $160,00i>. The per
mile cost of the entire system, iu- j
eluding 50 locomotives at $100.-1
OoO each, will be about s34,000.
The locomotives are said to be '
the first ever constructed with dl- '
rect current motors. The engines
are llfc feet In length and each J
Is equipped with eieht twin-t pared
motors; one for each pair of driving
wheels. This distribute n iu the
application of power ia designed to
J save vvonx and tear of track by min
imizing the force of vertical and
, and horizontal blows. The drivers
are located 10 feet apart, they are
52 luches in diameter, cud are so
arranged that each of th? four driv
ing wheel trucks is independent.
Tue weight of the engines is 260
tons each, and those for freight ser
vice are constructed to haul 2500
ton loads oveT a 1 per cent grade
at a speed of 16 miles an hour.
Thev are of 3440 horsepower,
and geared for speed lu passenger
service, they will haul 800 ton pas
senger trains at a velocity of 60
miles an hour.
In 'he operation of these trains
there will be no .necessity for coal
or water. The tracks will be
cleared of fuel traiU3, which will
mean correspondingly increased fa
cility for handling revenue pro
ducing freight. The locomotives
will cover a thousand miles or
more without Inspection. This brings
about not only a saving in time ajid
inspection expense, but a saving in
fuel, for the reason that- steam lo
comotives consume a big percentage
of coal while waiting for trains. The

Yoii know tliat when a Boot
comes in and simply sv.eeps tne country
'li'JirPp^®^ like 'TIIPltESS" has done, it's GOT to
1 be SOMETHING UNUSUAL-for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich HII'RESS" Boots actually wear longer tl: > Ii > m or steel!
You don't have to half-sole them with leather—they fur outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
| The reason for tliis unusual service is that ''HIPRESS" ii i structed by
; ;.n entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashin boot. They
j are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goi irith . > Tires—
welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE £0- PIECE!
There's nothing to come apart—they can't 1»- peel1, ei or split!
They're comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while ir? '.*• We
promise that once you start wearing White H1K KKS.- •- never be
satisfied with anything else.
And remember—there is but ONE "HI'^RF.SS" P"ot—it has
a Red-Line 'round the Top.
Ut-AI .h.Kb: If not already stocked on "H1PRESS" write at once for samplr-u and prices.
This is the best selling, best wearing Boot ever put into Alask?..
