The accompanying illustration represents an electric locomotive recently built at the shops of the Quebec Railway, Light & Power Company, of Quebec city, for the Chicoutimi Pulp Com- pany, of Chicoutimi, Que. It is intended for the shunting of regular freight cars about the com- pany's yards, and for hauling the products from the mills to the company's wharves on the Sag- ucnav river. It is also capable of hauling two loaded flat cars from the wharves back to the mills. The locomotive weighs about 23 tons, and in a trial test hauled twelve of the, Quebec Railway^ Light & Power Company's passenger cars, aggre- gating a total weight of 255 tons, at a speedy of ten miles per hour with comparative ease. The railway lines of the Chicoutimi Pulp Company consist of about two miles of track, having an average grade of 2 1-2 per cent The only real heavy grade on the line is 400 feet of 5 percent, grade and 39 degrees curvature, so that the new electric car will doubtless be capable of perform- ing the work intended of it.

There arc several firms well-known in
