Same Road Places Order For 100. Test of a New Mall Device Was Recently Made by Hocking Valley. Tho Baltimore Ohio haa purchased 20 acres of land In Sterling. It Urs between the U. W.

tracks and the main B. O. tracks. It was purchased from the executors of the W. S.

Stroator estate. The consideration was not made lmblic. The use to which this new land will be put has not as yet been officially given out. It Is understood, however, that the land will be used for the erection of ad ditional freight yards and possibly of ad ditional frelsrht houses. Sterling is the end of this division of the B.

O. and since the B. O. has been solng In so strongly for the freight traffic between the lake and the coal fields the yards ex isting there have been somewhat overcrowded. The C.

Xj. A. on of the TV branch lines acquired of late years, also runs through Sterling- beside the main line. The O. has been making a stt-ontr bid tor a larcre amount of the lake trailic from the West Virgin ia coal field? and has increased tho facilities of the C.

It. W. for this purpose. The additional traffic, which keeps grow ing in tonnage nsrht along, reiuires more facilities, and. according to the railroad men, tne land puxcnaseo at sterling--wui be used for the extension of the yards.

Both the L. and the. main 13. O. line are in need of additional freight yards and as Sterling is a point where the two lines join, it Is said that this point was selected for the location of the additional yards to be built, hence the purchase of the 2f acres.

100 New Locomotives Ordered. It was announced at the Baltimore Ohio headquarters in Baltimore Monday that an order would placed within a few days for additional locomotives for delivery next spring. With this new order for locomotives the company will have placed orders for 254 locomotives, 4.m"' st vl hoppers and gondolas, 1.300 box cars. fiat cars. 50 passenger cars, 21 hazgajre and mail cars, three dining and two parlor and dininsr cars.

Deliveries on th'se orders are expected to -bejyin In ST-tember. the. entire order for additional rolling- stock to be completed by April, law. Will Double Dock Facilities. The Erie railroad has just installed three new clamshell fve unloadors on the Nypano dock on Whisky island, says the Younstown Vindicator.

It estimated thnt thy will have an unloading capacity of lO.rtV) tons a day. although there ar? few times when conditions are right for the realization of the estimated performance such machinery. This equipment will about douhle the dock facilities, since that dock is already squip-Ivl with 27 "legs" of the Brown hoist machinery, which are capable of handling tons of ore in a day. Dnniel the vice president of the trie, was in the eHy Monday looking over the property, and made a special point of seeing the workings of the new machinery. This hai given rise to the rumor of vast improvement for the division of the Erie.

The truth Is. however, that there is no general scheme afoot for suh Improvement, and It Is a question whether it I seriously needed. The line Is double tracked all the way to the valleys, and when the four tracks are completed through Cleveland, and when the distributing yards at P.nndn'l have been completed, the division will be able to handle all of the busl-m-ss it Is llke.lv to be called upon to handle for many years to come. May be a Surprise. There Is considerable interest in Wall street as to what the forthcoming annual report ef the Erie will s-how.

Tt is stated that the rejiorl will be somewhat of a surprise to those who have Inferred from the of the 11 months that net earnings will not be satisfacf ory. The gross earnings ot the company will show substantial increase in spite of the. uniform h-ird luck in which operations have been carried on this year. 5 It is in expenses that the insiders look for nirorisHng features in the annual re-porr. It Is current tilk that xpen.ses will increase to groatlv as to entirely absorb gains In Current talk wrong.

To understand the annv.aJ report It will be necessary to understand that the Erie's method of charging to expenses differs somewhat from the usual method. If an order Is given for material to be delivered In for Irstance. the cost is dlstribut- ed over intervening months. In case it is fourd that deiiverv at the stipulated time cannot be accompllbed, the. charge to ex-I penses is read lust ed in succeeding month.

Surh a contingency was responsible for a large part of the Increase In May expenses, ard will make itself even mor evident In the full 12 month' report. The result will be that ns-t will ihow con siderably better than Wall street has anticipated, while the Itemized report will still satisfy the orttles. A change Is to be made this year In the form and method of the report. Ilith.rto. for Instance, the ton mllo cost of traffic from Puffalo to New York has been reckoned on delivery in New York cJtj.

This delivery Implies lighterage, dockage ond various incidental expenses In New Yorlc city. This year the reports of the separate properties In anj about New York city will be itemized separately. Two sts of earnings will therefore be necessary, one -on the old plan, allowing for expansion with previous years, and the other on th new plan, furnishing a bans for eotniajrison in coming years. The re-, suit, the management believes, will make possible a fairer and more Just conxputa- 1 Mrs. C.

Hocking Valley really represent the Lake Shore people, and that Hocking valley will now be found to be under control ot the Vanderbllts. It is well known that the Vanderbllts have boon seeking all the coal supplies possible, and have endeav ored to get as much coal traffic ever their own lines as possible; therefore the purchase of Hocking' Valley for its coal would naturally he In the lino of their well known policy.

"With the passing of control of this property to these interests there will hardly be any necessity on their part to retire the preferred stock inasmuch as the control is all that they have wanted, and they naturally will use the road as a feeder to their main system. If they pursue their well known policy, as aoen in other subordinate lines, tho stocks will be kept on a low dividend basis, while the traffic will be utilized to swell the earnings of the New York Central system. New Mall Device. The first practical test of the Cum- mlng's mall device, for receiving and delivering mails from fast-moving trains, which i3 being watched with keen Interest by railroad men all over the coun try, was made Monday morning on the Hocking Valley road at Lane avenue crossing north of the city, in the presence of a large number of the local officials, saya the Ohio State Journal. The test proved a success far beyond expectatk ns, and despite the fact that it was made on heavy grade where the greatest -pos sible momentum could be secured, the machine worked like clockwork.

The series of tests began with receiv ing and delivering 15 pounds of material in mall sacks at a speed of 15 miles per hour. Thjs was followed by 30 pounds at a speed of 45 miles. The crucial test was made, however, when1 50 pounds was hung in leather sacks, on both the receiving and dispatching cranes, and the tFain came dashing down the 26-foot grade at a rate of fiO miles per hour. The device worked as easily as In the lower speed tests, and the astonished officials, well pleased with the work congratulated tho Inventor, Mont D. Cummlngs of this cUy.

In the last test Chief Clerk Thomas Bradford of the railway mail service, states in a letter to the superintendent of malls at Washington, that the train was running fully at a. rate of 75 miles. Testimonial letters were given to Mr. Cunimlngs by all of the road offleiajs present. The device will be given a government test In tho near future, and if it proves successful with the postal ofli-cdafss it will fill a long-felt want, and many or the roads running last irains will be equipped with them.
