Apparatus Manufactured by The Westinghouse Air Brake Co.

A NewAutomatic Railway Type Circuit Breaker

Dimensions

Length, 1 1 inches

Breadth, 9 inches

Depth, 6 inches

Capacity 60 to 200 Amperes

The simplest andmost modern designnow on the market.

The arc is broken in a powerful magnetic field which effectually opens the circuit under the most severe conditionsof short circuit, and reduces damage to the arcing contacts to a minimum. The contacts where the arc occurs whenthe circuit is opened, are surrounded by a shield of insulating and arc resisting material, which prevents the arc frombeing communicated to any part of the breaker or case.

INDIA ALKALI WORKS—"30 Years at It "—Boston, Mass.

A 1600 FOOT, 12 -CAR, FIGURE 8TOBOGGAN FOR $7,000

In order to meet the demands of many of our Park customers, who do not feeljustified in going to the expense of a Velvet Coaster, we have just completed plansfor a new type FIGURE 8 COASTER. This Coaster is over 300 feet longer thanthe ordinary Figure 8 Toboggan, has long, easy dips of the Velvet Coaster type, andis designed for a safe and more sensational ride. The depot is of ornamental con-struction and has ample room for the loading and unloading of two cars at a time.The maximum capacity of the road is thirty people a minute. We are now pre-pared to furnish cars, motors, machinery and all necessary iron work (except nailsand bolts) for the complete equipment of the coaster—the purchaser to erect thestructure from plans and specifications furnished by us.

This Coaster is a decided improvement over anything of its kind ever constructed,as to safety and pleasant sensations. The cars are of entirely new design and are,without doubt, the strongest and handsomest Figure 8 cars ever built. Each caris equipped with our patent Velvet Coaster pull-up (Serial No. 248,369), preventingany possibility of incline accidents so common to the old type toboggan. Cars havecarriage body finish and are handsomely upholstered.

Write us and let us tell you how you can have this Coaster erected in your Parkcomplete and ready for operation for $7,000. No orders taken for May deliveryof cars after February 1, 1906.

If your patronage will justify building the "best ride" ask us about our VELVETCOASTER. If you want an ornamental, safe and sane circle swing ask about ourAEROSTAT. If you want the greatest money-maker ask about our KATZEN-JAMMER CASTLE.BEWARE OF IMITATORS; some people cannot originate even a name. The KAT-

ZENJAMMER CASTLE and the VELVET COASTER are our own creations, bothname and device. The devices are protected and the names are onlv genuine when"FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY'S," is prefixed. We own patents andpending claims on all our devices. Write us for particulars and prices

A Watchdog on Every Car

Durkin Controller Handle Mounted

A dog that makes the "green" motorman start and reverse hiscar as the Master Mechanic would stan and reverse it. Regulatesthe feed by means of the simplest mechanism.The dog under the DURKIN CONTROLLER HANDLE

catches for a moment at each position, then falls and permits ofmoving the handle to the next position.

Effects a decided saving in current, protects motors and con-nections; avoids jars to passengers; insures equal wear and longerlife in controller contacts; spares wheels and tracks; lessens thepowerhouse load.To attach, no change is required in the controller. Simply drill

three holes in the top if the dial and bolt on the DURKIN rack.The DURKIN CONTROLLER HANDLE gives perfect

freedom in the "shut off" movement. We invite correspondence.

The Perfect RegulationOf Car Heatingis secured by the regulating switches which we use inconnection with our Electric Car Heaters.

Double Quick=Break Knife Switch

We also make switches fitted with locks towhich either conductors or inspectors may be

furnished with keys, thus preventing tampering

by the passengers, and putting the responsibility

for heating on one man. In this way there is no

waste of current, but perfect comfort for passengers

and perfect economy for the road.

Electric Heating is economical all through when

you understand it. May we explain ?

The Fire Insurance Companies recognized at thebeginning the superiority of the WORTHINGTONDUPLEX FIRE PUMP, and their specificationsfor an "Underwriter" fire pump were drawn fromits design. Sixty years of progressive developmentby the world's greatest pump manufacturer and theinventor of the duplex motion have made our prod-ucts the standard of excellence, and in this con-nection attention is particularly directed to the

following clause in thelnsurance Companies' Speci-fications: "Finally, it should be remembered thatthese Specifications cover only the outlines of the

CONSTRUCTION NOTES

ENSLEY, ALA.—J. M. Dewberry and associates are asking for franchisesfor street railway' lines in Ensley, and the matter is now in the handsof the Council committees. The Birmingham Railway Light & Power Com-pany has two lines into Ensley from Birmingham, and is to build a third.

Besides, the lines run through to Wylam.

MOBILE, ALA.—It is understood a New York company has secured con-trol of the Lighting Company of Mobile. It is reported that J. HowardWilson, president of the Mobile Light & Railroad Company, is one of theparties interested.

FORT SMITH, ARK.—The Fort Smith Light & Traction Company is tobuild a bridge across the Arkansas River, so as to extend its lines to VanBuren.

HOXIE, ARK.—The old mule line here is to be converted into a gasolinemotor line.

MOUNTAIN HOME, ARK.—The Mountain Home & White River Trac-tion Company has been incorporated to build an interurban railway from the

latter place to a point where the Big Creek empties into White River. The

capital stock is $25,000, of which $15,000 has been subscribed. The officers

are: John J. Geghan, of Yellville, president; W. L. Marshall, of MountainHome, vice-president.

MURPHYS, CAL.—Announcement is made of the successful financingof a large hydro-electric enterprise, to be developed by the Stanislaus Elec-

tric Power Company in the central portion of California. Actual construc-tion has already commenced, and the work will be pushed to completion as

fast as possible. The project includes the construction of a power plant

on the middle fork of the Stanislaus River at Sublette Crossing, about 6

miles from the town of Murphys, Calaveras County, and the establishment of

storage reservoirs at the head waters of the river; a diverting dam nearSand Bar Flat in Tuolumne County; a flume and ditch system 15% mileslong, with a capacity of 300 cu. ft. of water per second; a large equalizing

reservoir above the power house site; a system of pipe lines, which will de-

liver the water to the power house under a head of 1500 ft.; a power station,

equipped with water-wheels and electrical apparatus of a capacity of 20,000

kw, and a transmission system wdiich will provide for the distribution of

power "to a market within a radius of 150- miles of the power house. Apressure-pipe system will also deliver water across the Stanislaus River

canyon for distribution in Calaveras County. The proposition is backedby strong interests in Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco.Tucker, Anthony & Company, of Boston; Frederick L. Eldridge, first vice-president of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, and C. C. Cuyler, of Cuyler,

Morgan & Company, of New York, are syndicate managers. KnickerbockerTrust Company, of New York, is the trustee for the bond issue, which is tobe $10,000,000. The engineering and construction work is to be in charge of

Sanderson & Porter, engineers, of New York City. The water Tights, reser-voir sites, timber land and other properties have been acquired by the Stan-

islaus Electric Power Company from Beach Thompson, of San Francisco,who will be associated with the enterprise. H. P. Veeder and James K.Moffitt, of San Francisco, and Harvey P. Goodman, of Napa, Cal., are alsointerested.

SAN DIEGO, CAL.—At a recent meeting of the Council an ordinance wasadopted accepting the bid of G. M. Hawley for the Adams Avenue franchise.The concurrent resolution offering for sale the street railway franchise, peti-tioned for by P. B. Moore, which runs from Thirty-Second Street and

National Avenue south to the National City boundary, thence east for semedistance just north of said boundary, was adopted.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.—It is reported that the interests controlling thethe San Jose-Los Gatos Interurban Railway will soon incorporate a newcompany for the purpose of building an electric road from San Jose andLos Gatos to San Mateo. The route of the proposed new road, it is under-stood, lies some little distance to the west of the Southern Pacific Com-pany's tracks down the peninsula. Coming this way, the road is projectedclose to the lands recently acquired as a site for the new Jesuit college nearMountain View, will skirt the foothills back of Stanford University, and soon up the peninsula, with spurs or branch lines reaching to all of the im-portant points below San Mateo. The. new company will be an adjunct ofthe San Jose-Los Gatos Interurban Railway, with substantially the samestockholders and directors. This will be interpreted to mean, by thosefamiliar with the ownership and affiliations of the Los Gatos Road, thatSouthern Pacific interests are behind, or at least friendly to, the new project.The proposed new road will compete with the San Jose & Santa Clara CountyElectric Railroad Company, which has been brought into existence by LewisE. Hanchett, John Martin and their associates to take over the rights,franchises and tracks of the Santa Clara Interurban Railroad Company, re-cently acquired by them, and to build an electric road from Santa Clara upthe peninsula through Palo Alto to San Mateo. It is assumed by some thatthis road will eventually be used by the Southern Pacific as a cut-off toSanta Cruz and for points south for limited trains, cutting out San Jose andSanta Clara.

SAN JOSE, CAL.—Lewis E. Hanchett, John Martin and their associates,who recently took over the properties of the San Jose & Santa Clara StreetRailroad Company and the Santa Clara Interurban Railroad Company, haveincorporated a new company to be known as the San Jose & Santa ClaraCounty Railroad Company. The interests of the two older companies are tobe consolidated in the new corporation, which has a capita! stock of $5,000,000.and the new corporation will undertake the electric railway constructionheretofore programmed by Mr. Hanchett and Mr. Martin. The incorpo-rators of the new company are: Lewis E. Hanchett, John Martin, Henry

'Bostwick, Leo. H. Susman and Karl E. Kneiss. Mr. Hanchett has sub-

scribed for $48,000 of stock, and each of the other incorporators $500 each.

The new company, according to the articles, will build 'a road extending from

the town of San Mateo through Redwood City, Menlo Park, Palo Alto,

Mayfield, Mountain View, Santa Clara and San Jose to Alum Rock Park.

Most of this embraces the route over which the Santa Clara Interurban Road

planned to build, and for which it obtained considerable rights of way. This

company already has something over 1 mile of track in Palo Alto. The

present single-track, narrow-gage I'ne to Alum Rock is to be rebuilt and

converted into a double-track system.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.—City Engineer Woodward has made it neces-sary to rescind the measure calling for bids for the reconstruction of the

Geary Street line by asking for the return of the plans and specifications re-

cently presented by him to the Board of Supervisors. He states that severalchanges will have to be made in the wording of the specifications, as well

as some alterations in the plans themselves. He says that a month will beconsumed in making these alterations. Consulting Engineer Stut, who drew

the plans, provided for steel in certain parts of the road where the City

Engineer thinks cast-iron would be better, and he also planned to have the

extension of the same gage as the old Geary Street line, which has worn

a quarter of an inch wider than its original gage.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.—The Yosemite Short Line Railway, which isbacked by the Sierra Railway Company, T. S. Bullock, president, is graded

for a distance of 10 miles from its junction with the latter road near James-

town, Cal. The heavy work has been done on the three largest bridges on

the line. The piers are in place for the big bridge over the Tuolumne River

at Jacksonville. There has been quite a delay in filling orders for rails in the

East. An officer says that the road will be completed in time to handle thetourist travel to the Yosemite Valley next spring. Automobiles, with flanged

wheels, operated by gasoline, will be used, carrying from ten to twenty-four

passengers each. Steam trains can be used when necessary to carry heavy

freight.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.—The Ocean Shore Railway Company's plans foran uptown passenger terminal at Twelfth and Mission Streets will include

a tall, steel frame and brick building that will be a credit to the city. The

lower floors will be occupied as a modern passenger station that will com-

pare well with the central passenger station of the Huntington Electric Rail-

way system in Los Angeles. A half block, 275 ft. x 550 ft., will be occupiedby the building, tracks and train sheds. Owing to private right of way being

used largely, rapid time can be made, and the distance from the Army Streetterminal to Twelfth and Mission will be covered in nine minutes. The

Southern Pacific tracks and Channel Street will be crossed by an overhead

structure of steel at least 600 ft. long. Eight miles of track have been com-

pleted, extending north from Santa Cruz. Nearly 2 miles of track have

been built from the Ocean View base, reaching to the second trestle. A tele-graph system now connects the city offices with the construction workaround the city.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL.—The Marin Terminal Railroad has asked for afranchise for an overhead trolley system through the city over Fourth Street
