Cordovan Invents A New
Type Cf Snow Plow
A new type of snow plow, built at
the local shops of the Copper Klver
& Northwestern Railway under the
direction of its inventor, Charles
Dust In, master mechanic, has been
placed in service this winter by that
railroad. The machine has been op
erated since the prt sent snow season
npened and has unquestionably dem
onstrated its effectiveness.
The "Wing Snow Plow," as it Is
railed, is n radical departure in rail
road snow fighting equipment. It
Is a separate piece of equipment,
but it is used in conjunction with
the regular rotary snow plows,
greatly increasing their efficiency
and usefulness. The device was de
signed and built by Mr. Dustin last
winter, but when It was com pitted
the snow season had so far advanc
ed that It could not be given a con
clusive trial at t'>at time.
The principal feature of the new
plow is its arm or "wing." ThH is
% reenforced steel arm eighteen
feet long, tapering from approxi
mate! four feet wide at the base or
?ar end. to about two and one-half
Teet wide at the outer end. The arm
is straight but Is curved throughout
ts width. It can be set at any angle
from the car, but it is usually oper
ited with the outer end extending
jut about twelve feet from the near
»st rail, into the snow bank at the
iid« of the tracks. When it Is thus
jxtendfd. and the car is in motion.
:he wing cuts the snow from the
!>ank and draws or slides it inward
:oward the tracks. The rear end of
:he arm lies in such position that
he snow that curls along it is de
posited immediately between the
:racks behind the car. This snow Is
:hen within the range of the wheel
)t the rotary plows and can be
:hrown to one side by them.
The machine has only one wing
ind a return trip is required to cut
lown both banks. When the return
trip has been completed and the
1 snow thrown out by the rotaries, a
, passageway thirty feet wide has
I been opened. The rotaries alone
without the uld of the wing plow,
make a cut only twenve feet across.
The wing can be quickly raised or
lowered through a distance of eight
feet. This feature permits the op
erator lo eas ly follow the hanks and
I regulate the depth of the cut taken.
Power is derived from two t com
1 pound steam engines with air cylin
; ders as counterbalances. The en
; gines are supplied with steam from
I the locomotive drawing the machine.
! At the front of the plow on the
i wing side is anothet wing about nine
I feet long of the ordinary pusher
1 type. This is used where it Is pos
sible to push the snow away from
the sides of the tracks, as in a can
yon or at places where the roadbed
' Is higher than the ground immedi
| atelv adjacent to it.
I A rotary snow p'.jw. by means of
a great wheel equipped with steel
! blades, picks up the snow from the
tracks and throws it to one side,
thus clearing a cut or passageway
for the train which follows. This
1 snow is thrown from fifty to two
hundred feet away from the tracks,
and always on the windward side
llut, although much of this snow Is
thrown a considerable distance, a
larger part of it rolls out from the
plow and builds up banks at the
edges of the tracks. This "spill
over" as it is called, gradually builds
higher with successive trips of the
rotaries. until the banks are five or
six or more feet deeper than the
snow on the level ground. On the
local ra.lroad these banks during a
winter of heavy snow fall some
times become higher than the plow
and train cars.
Wherever there is snow, the drift
ing action of the wind tends to fill
up any depressions in the ground
This is illustrated ly the leveling of
uneven ground and the filling of gul
lies in the mountains during the
winter. Tills same action tends to j
cause the cut or paisageway between
the banks at the edges of the rail
road tracks to fill with snow to the
level of their tops when the wind
is blowing.
There are a number of places
along the local railroad where the
wind blows almost constantly dur-1
ing the winter, and at these points
the wind will refill the cut with
drifted snow in a few hours, altho
perhaps only a few Inches of snow
has fallen on the level during that
time. If the banks, for example,
were eight feet high, the cut would
fill to that height, the time required
depending partly on the amount of
snow falling, but chiefly on the force
of the wind. It follows that if these
banks were cut down to, say, four
feet, the cut would fill to only that
heig'it, plus the amount of snow fall
ing on the level meanwhile.
After the banks were cut down to
that height and the cut had filled,
the wind would drive the snow on
across the cut, as there would be no
cones or ridges for It to lodge
against. Therefore, In the case just
cited, the rotary would have only
four feet of snow to dispose of in
stead of eight feet. U may seem that
if the banks were kept cut down,
the result would be a large indirect
saving in fuel, equ pment. mainten
ance, and other costs, and the re
lieving to a groat extent of the pos
sibility of a tieup ot the road under
unfavorable conditions.
The function of the wing plow,
as conceived by Mr. Dustin, is to
keep these banks cut down, and it I
has proved mechanically successful
• n performing this function. A con-1
biderable economy is thereby mado
possible for the railroad company
through the lessening of the amount
of snow lighting equipment requir
ed to keep the road open In winter,
and the decreasing of the cost ot
operating the equipmeut used.—

MOOSE FOR PRICE
The proposal to bring to the Olym-T
)ic peninsula six or eight moose.1
vhich has been contemplated for'
some time by It. L. From in#. super
visor of the Olympic f-.irest, and J.
ft". Kinney, state supervisor of game
ind game tish, gained headway •
when Mr. Fromrae received a tele
?ram from Krnest Kalker. chief fur
jnd game warden of Alaska, stating
:hat a resident of Cordova was wili
ng to take a contract to capture
>ix moose for $2,500. This amount
ivould cover cost of feeding, holding
in corral and final crating of the
inimais for shipment hue in the
spring to the peninsula.
Mr. Fromme believes this offer too
tiigh, however, compared to earlier
estimates from otl.er persons and |
Mr. Kinney is of the same opinion.
The plan for the transfer of seven
3r eight moose from the Kenai pen
insula in the Cook inlet in western
Alaska to the Olympic pen nsula has
been entertained for some time. It
is one of the pet projects of the bio
logical survey and several of the
state organizations are behind the
plan. "Pete" Fisher, district officer
of the Moose lodge, residing in Port
Angeles, has stated that the Moose
lodge of the Northwest district
would assist the state and federal
government In financing the project
to the extent of $1,000. Assistance
has also been ofTered bv the Sports
men's association of Seattle and
Olympia and other peninsula points
Backers of the plan have been un
successful for two years In their at
tempt to find some hunter or game
enthusiast of Alaska to undertake a
contract to capture the animals for
about J250 each. Shipment would
be made to Seatt'e and t ion to Port
Angeles, finally liberating them on
the Bogachiel river. It has been
hoped that the entire undertaking
would not cost more than $3,000
from capture in Alaska to the final
liberation in the fine forests on the
Bogachiel.—Olympia, Wash., Olym
