ERAL MANAGER SMITH
KELLY MAKES BIG SALE
Locomotives Are of the Latest Type,
Modern Every Way, Many
Appliances
Around the first of the year two
big modern locomotives, of the Mik
ado type, will arrive in Seward for
the Alaska Railroad, swelling the
rolling stock to '30 ocomotives, a very
small number in comparison with the
average railroad in the States, ac
cording to Noel W. Smith, general
manager, Alaska Railroad, who vis
ited over Sunday in Seward. The
two new engines are modern in ev
ery way with the latest appliances
and specialties. Accompanying Mr.
Smith to Seward was A. E. Kelly,
representing the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, of the Portland, Ore., office
through whom the purchase was
made.
i Regarding the Mikados, Mr. Kelly
said the loco-motives are of the 2-S-2
type. This means two front trucks,
then a series of eight, and la^i two
more trucks. The heavier the en
gine the more trucks are placed un
der the locomotives to distribute the
enormous weight more equally. The
Mikado type tender engines have
cylinders 22 inches in diameter with
a stroke of 28 inches; the boiler
pressure is 200 pounds and the
weight of one engine in working or
der is approximately 240,000 pounds,
with a total of 175,000 pounds on
the drivers. The engines are equip
ped with a booster Franklin power
reverse, a superheater and other
specialties as called for in the Aaska
Railroad specifications. The locomo
tives develop a tractive effort of 42,
600 pounds and a reserve booster
tractive effort of 11,S00 pounds, or a
total tractive effort of 54,400 pounds
when operated with the booster.
At present the locomotive equip
ment now in use on the railroad
consists of 24 of the Mogul type of
the 600 cass, Mr. Smith said, two
small switch engines, a ten wheeler, j
No. 460 and one No. 11 American
trpe 440. Then there are three fair
ly good narrow gauge ' dinky” en
gines which are used extensively in
grading work.
Mr. Kelly came north from the
Portland office about three weeks
, i
ago and left for the south Sunday
on the S.S. Yukon. He anticipates,
and is looking forward already, re
turning to Seward upon delivery of
the locomotives,
Mr. Kelly appears to be quite a
youthful chap for the position he oc
cupies so out of curiosity The Gate
way scribe asked him some rather,
leading questions among which was
how he attained his position as rep
resentative of such a large and in
ternationally noted firm, at his ap
parently youthful age. Mr. Kelly is
that type of man, questions of a more
personal nature can be asked, in oth
er words, the bigger the men are,
the easier they are to interview. His
answer was simple in that he served
his apprenticeship in the shops.
That’s all he said—he served his ap
prenticeship in the main eastern plant
of the company—aside from the fact
that he has three brothers who are
also connected with the firm. Then
he added, “It’s wonderful work.”
There’s food for thought in those few
words.
Within the next few months he
will write an article on his Alaskan
trip and in connection with his work,
which will be published in the com
pany’s paper, issued monthly. He
has promised to send The Gateway
a copy of it.
Fishermen Have Hard
Tussle Landing Shark
A seven foot mud shark, weighing
in the neighborhood of 350 pounds
was towed into port this morning by
Sheldon and Protzman. halibut fisher
men. The big denizen of the deep
is on exhibition on the Seward float.
The fishermen expect to extract a
barrel of oil from the carcass. The
hide will be tanned ahd used for sole
leather purposes. It is reported the
fishermen played the shark for three
days effecting it's capture after the
fish became to tired to flip a gill.
Mud sharks, it is claimed, are as
peaceful as kittens, when they are
dead.
Good program at the Liberty.
In Emerson’s day the “world might
make a beaten path,” to your door—to
secure that which you had created but
in 1926, you’ve got to create it and
move out on main street.
Men who have any amount of money
rarely if ever say anything about it and
the same rule holds good of those hav
ing religion.
It is strange that we hear of and read
much about people being held up by
footpads and robbers but nothing of
those held up by their relatives and
friends.
There seems to be considerable feeling
that one must spend to entertain his
friends—to really know these people it
is wise to quit spending for a few days.
If you don’t feel that you are making
money enough, assume for a few min
utes that you are the boss^honestly
would you pay as much as you are
getting for what you are giving I
