Tie Storage Yard at Hugo Creosoting Plant. The accompanying photograph was

talten from the top of one of the creo- sote storage tanlts, and gives an idea of the metllod and extent of piling ties in the yard for seasoning.

The total storage capacity of the yard is approxiniately 400,000 ties, and the yard was very nearly filled with ties a t the time this photograph was talten.

The ties a re piled in what are called "1-10 piles." By examining the photograph, this method will be seen to afford a complete covering on top, which will tend to keep oot water from the pile, and it also leaves an air space between each tier of ties, so that they will season rapidly.

The standard gauge tracks a re placed 115 feet apart, with a narrow gauge

track in the center between, and the tie piles a re placed solid between the narrow gauge and standard gauge tracks, except that. Lhere is a 4-foot clley between each row of ties. The 1,iles a re generally 25 ties high, and on this basis there would be 17,000 ties piled betwcen standard gauge tracks for each 100 feet. measured along the tracks.

The pii-e ties, which are principally trcated a t 'Iugo, require much less time for seasoning than is required for the I-ed oak ties. On this account, while the actual storage capacity of the Hugo yard is only about 400,000 ties, i t is possible to store sufficient ties to season a very much larger number of ties.

- The Frisco Exchange at Springfield.

There a re 130 Frisco stations switched through our main private branch telc- phol~e exchange a t Sl~ringfield, No., in addition to the long distance and Eel1 Telephone Company's stations.

The table shown on the right in the accompanying reproduction 1s equlpped n i th the signaling apparatus for t he long distance or message circuits. All signaling on the message circuits i s done bv the "monitor" operators a t Springfield. The operators of this sig- rialing is a s follows:

The station wishing to call "goes in" on the line and speaks the name of his station and the station he wishes to c o n ~ n ~ u n i c a t e with, a s for instance "Fort Scott-Paola."

A hand generator is provided a t each station to call the "monitor" operator

a t night or other times when she is not on the line.

T h e telephone switch board is a two-

position board of the very latest type

and is e q u i l ~ l ~ e d with the latest appli- ilnces for signaling and switching. I t

is connected by "trunks" with a smaller

board in the New Shops, and will be

similarly connected with a board in the new office building.

Miss Whitalier, chief operator, and A!iss Ogden a r e shown on the left a t the telephone switchboard: Miss Melton and Miss I-Ioffman a r e a t the signaling table on the right. In the center of the lricture is Mr. Stome, n~a in ta ine r , and standing in front of the switchboard on the left is J . 13. Erennan, ass ls tant superintendent of te legra l~h.

Electric Staff System. The Electric Train Staff System of

today is a gradual development from a simple principle for the operation of railroads which mas recognized in Eng- land as early a s 1840; namely, that to safely pass over a given section of single track, every train should have in its possession a tangible right to do so in the form of some specific article of which there is only ono obtainable. The first train staff was a metal bar about

two feet long, which had cast or en- graved on it the name of the two stations between which it alone gave authority for any train to proceed. Un- less trains moved alternately in opposite directions the staff had to be returned over the section by a special engine or in some cases by road.

The accompanying photographs illus- Lrates the staff instrument located in the Springfield passenger station. A similar instrument is located in the Sichols Depot. These instruments are electrically connected, and it is impossible to operate the onc without the

knowledge and co-operation of the oper- alor in charge of the other.

The operation of these instruments is by means of a bell code. Only one staff can be talcen from the instruments a t a time, and another staff can not be withdrawn from either instrument until the staff previously removed has been replaced in the same instrument or in the one a t the other end of the block. Operators are not permitted to deliver a staff from one train to another until it has passed through the instrument, and under no circumstances a re operators permitted to place a staff in the instrument, or report a train to the other end as having passed out of the bloclc until they have positively seen the markers or a re assured the train is into clear.

For delivery to enginemen the staff is inserted into a rubber pouch about ten inches long, and no train or engine is permitted to run in any direction be- tmcen Springfield and Nichols unless engineman has staff in his possession, which he will take from the operator or conductor. The staff must be retained by the engineman while any part of his train is in the block and is delivcrcd to the operator when passing staff office a t the other end of the block.

He Had T w o Coats. I,. S. Bailey, station baggage master a t

Joplin, Yo., desires to relate through the coluinns of TIIE FIUHCO-MAX the fol- !owing incident a t his room lately, which he believes too good to keep from the boys:

A young fellow, evidently from the "Tall TJncut," came in to check a tele. scope to Eentonville, Ark., to which was strapped a coat.

"You will have to take your coat off," 1 said, and when I returned and looked up, there he stood with the coat he had bcen wearing hanging on his arm.

Grant Street Subway at Springfield. A bridge of a new and interesting

type was completed and put in service a t Springfield, BIo., last October. I t serves to carry the Frisco tracks, three in number, over Grant street, and pro- vides one opening of twenty-five feet for $1 roadway and one sidewalk, and one opening of twelve feet for a street railway.

The structure is built of reinforced concrete thro~ighout and has a very monument-like appearance, a s can be seen from the accompanying reproduction.

The top surface and backs of the walks are waterproofed by coating with a tar paint; this, i t is expected, will prevent the leakage through of water and the resulting discoloration so often seen in concrete work.

The railway tracks a re laid in ballast sixteen inches deep, and can be lined and surfaced ill the ordinary way. The bridge is practically noiseless under trains.

This work T a s carried out under the supervision of .J. BI. Sells, district engineer a t Springfield, BIo.

New Automatic Stoker on Mallet Engine. Our new Mallet engines ha\ e recently \I idth. It is dri\ en by a single acting

been equipped with the Street Locomo- steam engine bolted rigidly to the t i \ e Stoker, a device invented to reduce crusher and direct connected thereto. the labor of firemen. The coal after being crushed slides by

This stoker is of the scatter type in gravity, through a boiler iron trough which crushed coal is driven into the pivoted to the tender, into a hopper lire box by steam jets. I t consists essen- located beneath the deck-plate of the

tially of three parts, ~ ~ a m e l y a crusher, an elevator and a distribution system.

The crusher is located on the tender, a small section of the water bottom being cut out to accommodate it. I t is of the swinging jaw type, and the opening is on a level with the tank Aoor so that the coal can be scraped into it without being lifted. The crusher will take "run of mine" coal with lumps up to 8x10 inches and reduce them to a size which will pass through a slot about 13; inches in

locomotive, secured thereto and forming the lower end of the elevator casing.

The elevator consists of a double end- less chain with drop-forged links, and having malleable iron buckets riveted thereto. This chain travels in a casing made of gas pipe of standard dimen- sions. The upper end of this casing is secured firmly to the boiler head, and che lower end to the deck plate or frames. At the upper right hand corner the elevator passes over a steel sprocket

20 T H E F R l S C O - M A N

wheel which forms the drive. This wheel is, througl~ a worm, driven hy a small steam engine bolted to the boiler head.

The coal is discharged from the elevn- tor a t a point centrally above the fire- door. I t falls through a distributor hopper into three distributors, one of which is locat,ed centrally and each of the other two on one side, and all above the fire-cloor. From these distributors it is, by means of the distribution system spread over the grates. The distributors a re cast iron extending through tubes which are rolled and beaded into the back-head of the boiler, and the fire- box sheet. Each distributor is fitted with a steam nozzle through which a blast ol' steam is admitted intermittently for driving the coal into the fire-box. h discharge regulator is provided.

which when nioved to the right will give a heavy fire on the right side of the grate, and when moved to the left will give a heavy fire on the left side of the grate.

The distributor hopper is provided e it11 a deflector, by ~novement of which the major proportion of the coal can be fed to the center or the side distributor as desired.

A controller can1 with adjustable pro- jections furnishes a means for cl~anging the number and the duration of the steam blasts which drive the coal into the fire-box.

Experiments have shown that accu- rate adjustment of the above is not es- sential. While a considerable change in the position of the reverse !ever mill effect the distribution, a movement of five or six notches maltes no perceptible difference.

The steam engines running a t a con- stant speed a re both fitted with shaft governors enclosed in a cranlt case, and the lover end of the connecting rod and valve rod a re the only adjustable bear-

ing. The only attention these engines require is the introduction of a small quantity of oil in the cranlt case every three 01, four days. The only other parts of the stoker requiring attention a re three hearings on the crusher anci two on the elevator, which require oiling about once a day.

The crusher is provided with a relief spring which maltes a breakage impossible, and the elevator is made suffi- ciently strong to stop the engine which drives it without breakage.

[ t is, of course, desirable to do away with the crusher and have crushed coal delivered to the tender, as this vi l l reduce the number of working parts of the stoker. With crushed coal on the tender a screw conveyor will be used for carry- ing it to the locomotive, and will be driven by the elevator engine which mill he the only engine used with this type of stoltcr.

The claims made for this stoker are, reduction of the labor of the fireman; nun-interference with the fire-door; sim-

' T H E F R I S C O - M A N 21

piicity of its construction; and the control of tine fire.

The primary reason for placing a stoker on a locomotive is to reduce the labor of the fireman. This machine accoinplishes this and by making a reduction therein of from 60 to 75 per cent, and makes it possible to operate a locomotive of dimeusions which are now impossible because of the limitations of the fireman.

The fact that this stoker does not in any may interfere with o r obstruct the fire-door is one of the great advantages claimed for it, us with this construction it is possible for the firenian to, a t any time, inspect his fire, w e the hook, or supplement the work of the stoker by hand-firing. Should the stoker a t any time fail, o r anything go wrong with it, hand-firing can be immediately resorted to, and a stoker failure will not result il l

a 1ocoill.otive failure. It has been found, however, during a long series of runs Lhat it is seldom necessary to open the door a t all, and conlplete round trips over a division of over one hundred miles have been made without the door being opened.

In designing the stoker great care has been talcen to avoid complications and unnecessary parts. The construction of

the engines for driving it is a s simple a s it is possible to make such machines. It is in~possible for the fireman to do anything to them except oiling, and the same is true of all the other parts of the machine. It only requires a few seconds to place the stoker in operation, and after it has been adjusted, which also requires only a very few minutes, it calls for no attention whatever from the lireman. The method of making the ad- justments is so simple a s to be a t once evident on looking it over, and a book of instruction is not necessary.

The stoker gives much better control of the fire than is possible by lland-firing. In regular service the steam pres- sure has been allowed to fall off thirty to forty pounds and restored to the maximum point within a period from two to two and a half minutes while the locomotive mas working a t full capacity with the injector on. This hax been done repeatedly while working on heavy grades, where such a n operation is impossible with hand-firing.

The absence of clinkers is another feature. The coal is s l~read so evenly over the grates and in such a thin layer tiuat it is impossible for clinkers to form. Under ordinary conditions the cleaning oC Cue fire is not found necessary.

Let's Start the N e w Year with a "Fifteen Year" Club. It has been suggested by one of our

Southeastern Division conductors that a club be organized, called "The Fifteen Year Club," for only those en~ployes who have been in the service of the Frisco fifteen years or more.

The idea is to stimulate the desire of employes to stay with the Frisco, and by so doing get the best class of men; those who make good men for the company and the town in which they live. Fur- ther, to get all to feel that they are part of the syste!n, and as the road prospers,

so they prosper. I t is believed any employe would consider it a n honor to belong to such a club.

W ~ a t is most desired is to make the employes understand they are part of the road, and that each has his place to fill from the president down. Let's get the idea of building up and not down.

Pull for the Frisco, first, last and all the time, nnd start the new year right, and make 191 1 the best year that the Frisco has ever lcnown.

Save Your Breath-Also Telephone Service. T h e telephone lines extending from

the general offices to Springfield, l Ionet t , Newburg, For t Scott and Kan- s a s City have proven to be a g rea t con- xcnience, and save a vas t amount of correspondenre. But i t i s well to r r m e ~ n b e r tha t th is service, 11ke e \ e ry - thing else, has limitations and that ordinary business conversation should never exceed three minutes, and, uf course, lhese lines a r e only meant for business.

I t does not seem tha t three minutes i s a period of t ime in which much can be done o r said, but experiment \v111 prove that ordinary business conversation can be concluded in much less t ime than 180

sccondx; in fact, t n o minutes is usually more than enough.

Make up your mind some time when you a r e talking over the telephone tha t

you will t ime yourself and see how quickly you can l i~rish what you desire to say and hear. If all employes would do t h ~ s the adequacy of our telephone service would be increased practically 50 per cent. Rememher tha t i n a large percentage of cases \I hen you a re using the telephonc someone else is waiting to g e t on the line whose business is, per- haps, Par more inlportant t han yours, and the longer you Bee11 the line the more they will be waiting.

Of course, frequent art icles have been writ ten upon the importance of courtesy over the telephonc and tha t is a subject which hal'dly en te r s I I I ~ O this, but there i s the element of courtesy in the con- sideration you can sho\v to o ther em- ploycs by not keeping them waiting an unnecessarily long time to rise the telephone.

Mediation Meadows Prize Competition Did you know that T H E MEDIATOR is conducting a prize contest for

vacations a t MEDIATION MEADOWS? The outing will take place at this beautiful tract of woodland in northern Ohio sometime next July. I t will be something unparalleled in the history of the country.

Every wage-earner in the United States is eligible to compete. Every state and territory in the United States will be entitled to two winners. These men will be invited to the gathering by the Mediator Publishing Company. which will pay all of their expenses. The winners will be determined by a prize essay competition, and the gathering will be one of alert, intelligent, and thoughtful workmen-the pick of the country. Subjects of vital industrial interest will be discussed a t MEDIATION MEADOWS.

Particulars as t o the contest and a list of the subjects upon which com- petitors may submit essays appear in the January issue of

THE MEDIATOR A MAGAZINE OF INDUSTRIAL ECONOMY

If you are not a subscriber, send a t once for a F R E E sample copy. Every wage-earner in the United States is cordially invited to enter this important contest.

The January issue of T H E MEDIATOR, by the way, contains many articles of unusual importance which you will be interested in reading. No railroad man should miss it. You may have it free for the asking.

"The Expressmen's Strike," by J. K. Turner, points out the significance of the late difficulty in New York and New Jersey.

"The Public Duty," by A. G. Williams, points out strongly wherein the public has been at fault in its attitude toward the railroads.

"Diplomacy vs. Strikes," by C. B. Bartlett, shows that strikes are for the most part unnecessary, and calls upon both employes and employers to get together on a sensible and more rational basis.

"Industrial Education in Switzerland," by Newton A. Fuessle, tells how the American system of public school education might be greatly improved, and holds up the fine example of Switzerland's educational system.

"The World's Work" and "The Industrial Need," by J. K. Turner, are two remarkable articles on vital and important problems of today.

"The Gospel According to Tolstoy" sets forth the gist of the faith of Russia's immortal genius in plain and telling language.

T H E MEDIATOR stands for co-operation of employers and employed, objects t o strikes as essentially an economic waste, and endeavors to make men on both sides of the industrial fence think straight and get rid of prejudice and intolerance. A special six months' subscription to railroad men for 25 cents.

Waltham Watches Take Their Time from the Stars

and for thirty years has been the only watch-factory in the world equipped with its own Observatory, Transit Instrument, Chronograph and Standard Clocks. Standard time, as every one knows, is determined by the transit of fixed stars across the meridian.

WALTHAM makes its own time reckonin s, and sidereal and meantime clocks compared to d ecimals of a second, electrically transmit time throughout their factory. There is no guess work about Waltham. Scientific accuracy is its guiding principle and explains its reputation for accuracy throughout the railroad world.

The highest type of railroad watch is the Vanguard, an 18 size Waltham movement, with 19, 21, 23 jewels, adjusted to temperature, isochronism and five positions. The strength of construction insures accuracy of adjustment and hardest service. The Vanguard always passes inspection. Ask your Jeweler.
