For Sale—A good lumber wagon. Ap ply to Burrows, Jones & Co. —6-tI Ten Wheeled Locomotive. The demand of the time is to move weight over distance at the least possible cost to it on slow freight oi fast passenger trains. There lire hundreds of locomo tives in service of about forty tons weight capable of hauling a train of 1(K) tons at the average running rate of 00 miles an hour. But chat is not the kind of fast train that our railroad man agers want. They are required to make money for the companies employing them, and they realize that it pays much better to use locomotives weighing sixty tons that are capable of hauling a fast train of 300 tons. It is a curious study, and one that is interesting tu minda, to investigate the rapid speed that might be made with safety with locomotives having abnormally large drivers, but as far as the bearing on American railroad operating is concerned, it is just as practicable as speculations or calculations respecting the time it would take a balloon of certain proportions to reach the moon. Locomotives with a single pair of driving wheels had their day on our railroads, and when businoss increased, the font wheel connected en gine took possession of the field. This type of locomotive held its own so long that it became known as the "Amer ican locomotive." That kind of engine did admirable service, but the indica tions are that its days as the motive power for fast passenger traiiis are nearly over. Running two trains where one will suffice is not good railroading, and trains are becoming so heavy that two pairs of drivers and a four wheel truck will not carry the weight of the boilers and cylinders necessary to provide the required power. The mogul and the ten wheel locomotive are slowly taking the place they will eventually monopolize. To talk of employing single driver loco tives at this day is trifling with a serious subject. —National Car Builder. Exftffll'ne Tour Insurance Polioies. In a letter to one of the leading insur ance agents at Port Townsend, Insurance Commissioner Allen says that the pol icies written by companies that are not authorized to transact business in this state are worthless and cannot be en forced in case of loss. He says that in formation regarding the transaction of business in this state by unauthorized companies will lead to their prosecution. There are a large number of policies of this kind held in this community, in some instances the companies having transacted their business directlv with the policy holders. Commissioner Weir says the law is intended to shut out ir responsible companies, to secure policy holders on a square business basis, and that it is being enforced exactly along that line. Equal to the Occasion. The barber drew his fingers gently across the face of his victim and said: "Yon have a strong beard, sir." There was no reply. He caressed the silky locks and queried: "Have a shampoo, sir? Your head really needs it." The stillness remained unbroken. "Shal: I wax your mustache, sir?" No reply. ".Sea-foam, sir?" The man in the chair drew a small tablet trom his pocket and wrote on it: "I am deaf and dumb." On the wall beside the mirror hung a large "No Credit" card. The barber turned it and pointed to the motto on the reverse side. The inscription was this: "Deaf and Dumb Men Double Price." "No shampoo, no wax, no sea-foam!" said the disgusted man in the chair, sud denly finding a voice. "All right, sir," rejoined the barber. "Thought I'jl fetch you round.
