The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad e>mpany is in the| market for locomotives of the Santa pe. The locomotives have a tre- were designed by th anta Fe rail- road and when they are installed on the New Haven system people who have never been in the west, where they have tremendous locomotives be- cause of the mountain grades, will see | the biggest locomotives and the longest freight trains ever operated in this section of the country. The plan of the company is to put the new loco- motives int> the freicht service from | this city east and west, Many persons hereabouts have rid- den on trains through Bolton, «nd con- | quently they are familiar with the| steep grade which irains from this section running e: have to climb. | The capacity of the heaviest type freight locomotive that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company now has for a haul over the Bolton grade is 720 tons, while the ca- of the Santa Fe locomotive is negotiating for s 2,000 tons, nearly three times as great as the capacity of the largest locomotives the road now uses in the hauling of freight. The largest loco- motives now in use by the New Ha- ven have four driving wheels on each siGe, while those of the Santa Fe type have five on a side, and the tremen- dous size of the Santa Fe locomotives gives them a weight many tons greater than the largest of the company’s present type. The weight of the new locomotives will necessitate the strengthening of bridges and culverts on the New Ha- ven system, and the detail of much of this work has been completed by the company's engineers. The most ex- pensive item in connection with strengthening to support the new lo- comotives will be on the railroad bridge that connects Hartford by rail with Fast Hartford. The present structure will be made stronger and new abutments will be put in and the bridge will be doutie tracked. The engineers have completed all of their work in the making of soundings for the new abutments. While the capacity of the heaviest of the company’s rolling stock in freight service for the Bolton grade is 720 tons »comotives are never put to their capacity on that haul. Box cars have an average capacily of 20 tons, but the company mever attempts to run a loaded train of 36 cars of 20 tons each behind one_locomotive for haul over the Bolton hills. When T. H. Fennell was a superintendent in Hartford for the lines east, which were part of the old New England system demand. When rive, he Santa Fe locomotives ar- peodle hereabouts will see longer freight trains hauled by one locomo- tive than they ever hefore have seen in_the east. It is not known now whether, as a result of the strengthened bridges and improved roadbed, company route through Hartford and Williman- tic some of the express trains that now g0 by way of the Shore Line New York to Bostor, but the double tracking of the bridge over the river sure to result in an advantage to Hartford. Some years ago, when Charles S. Melien -vas president of t he New York. New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company, and the Hartford, Man- chester and Rockville Tramway com- pany was an independent concern, Mr. Mellen attempted negotiations with the late Maro S. Chapman, who was at the head of the Hartord, Manchester and Rockyille Tramway company, for the purchase of the tramway lines which Mr. Chapman controlled. Mr. Mellen and Mr. Chapman could not agree and then there was talk of equipping the steam lines east of this city with a trolley system. The single track bridge was the obstacle whicl, inter- fered wich that plan, and finally the interest in the Manchester lines was sold to Tucker, Antnony & company of Boston. ~Affer the Hartford, Man- chester and Rockville Tramway lines had passed over to Tucker, Anthony & company the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company start- ed to equip its steam lines from Burn- side east to Rockville with what is now known as the interurban service. The interurban svstem is leased to_the Connecticut company by the New Haven. Eefore the interurban line was started ihe New York, New Haven and Hartford had acyuired the lines of the Hart‘ord Street Railway company and these lines, with other _trolley lines in the state which had been bought by the New York, New Haven and Hartford, became the lines of the Connecticut_company, a subsidiary of the New Haven. It was while the overhead work for the interurban ser- vice was under way that the New York, New Haven and Hartford ac- quired the Hartford, Manchester and Rockville Tramway company. At that time there was a feeling that further work in the installing of the interurban service would be abandoned, as the company hud acquired its competitor, but the work was continued and subse- quently tae lines were extended from Rockville through to Stafford Springs WILL CONVERT BALLAST INTO SOUVENIRS One Million Iron-Men to Be. Sold and Proceeds Are to Be Sent For Re- lief of Widows and Orphans. So far as the’ outsider in able to learn the undersea freighter Deutsch- land is ready to start on her home- ward dash, the first leg which “will consist in running the bloskade of British and French cruisers supposed to be lurking off Block Island. Her hull has been painted a dark battle- ship gray in preparation for depart- ure. Members of the crew who visit- ed the city Wednesday evening bade farewell to friends they had made. One of the most interesting features of the presence of the Deutschland de- veloped Thursday, when representa- tives of the American Relief commit- tee for the German Widows and Or- phans of the War, under the patron- age of Hon. James W. Gerard, Amer- ican ambasador to Germany, went to New London and arranged to obtain 20 tons of the iron ballast which the Deutschland brought over to be con- verted into Deutschland “iron men.” The iron men, the name of which is taken from the, American term for silver dollar, will be éircular in form and slightly smaller than the coin named. One side will be a design of the Deutschland with the signature of Captain Koenig and on the other the figure of a mother with her fath- erless children. These medals will be sold by the committee as souvenirs and the proceeds will be forwarded to the German relief fund. Tormer_Mayod George B. McClennan of New York is chairman of the com- mittee and the following letter sent to him by Captain Koentg is self-ex- planatory: s Hon. George B. McClellan, Chairman Relief Committee: Dear Sir: - On this trip, of the Deutschland I brought from Germany a quantity of iron ballast. I have suggested to the agents of the line, A.

One locomotive used at the head of the train and the other in the middle of the line of cars. After the Bolton hills were passed the locomotive in the middle was taken off and then the one lucomotive had a ‘0 | sufficient hauling capacity to pull all of the cars.

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS HIGH THIS YEAR Price is More Than 35 Cents a Pound and is Still Soaring. Unless poultry dealers throughout the country unexpectedly reduce their prices there will be a number of peo- ple in Norwich who will celebrate Thanksgiving without a turkey this year. ican Relief committee will have these | 35 cents a pound now and according to predictions will reach 45 cents, and probably reach 30 cents a pound for selected stock. Practically everything constituting a Thanksgiving dinner ‘has taken a skyward leap. The real Thanksgiving shipments of turkeys have not commenced. Last year turkeys sold for from 25 to 35 cents a pound, while the select- ed birds brought 32 to 35c a pound. The increase this year is blamed on the scarcity of stock and the high cost of ain and feed.
