Officials of the C. N. W. & P. expect nicnt, with the hope that better resultswill be obtained with it than from theconsolidation type. In view of the suc-cessful results obtained from the Ualti-more & Ohio engine of this type andother Mallet locomotives for variousroads on this continent and abroad, themanufacturers have every reason to feelconfident that the purchase of this en-gine will, however, eventually result in.

If these plans are carried through,however, this entire distance of somethirty miles will probably be cut outwith a six-mile tunnel; from foot to foot tliat witli the use of this type of machinethe number of engines can be reduced,or the load increased as the traffic be-comes greater, without increasing thenumber of trains. They say, however, that the purchaseof this one locomotive does not arguethat the type has been adopted, butthat this engine is purely an experi- tlie further purchase of similar of the principal dimensions arehere appended for reference: Cylinder—Type, compound; diam., 20!^ x 33 ins.; stroke, 32 ins.; tract
