Electric locomotives to haul Rockies trains in tests
C A Goodnow says electric locomotive tests will begin about October to pull trains through the Rockies for 440 miles. The project costs about 12 million dollars. First tests will operate on the Deer Lodge and Harlowton divisions in Montana. Forty locomotives, each weighing about 450000 pounds, will be delivered on the initial order. Engineers expect 25 percent power savings by removing air and reversing current on grades.

Last of the Pines Ends Long Log Drives in Wisconsin
The article recalls the end of a era as a major Wisconsin saw mill closes and the Menomonie river log drives cease. Uncle Ike Stevenson, veteran of seventy five years, drives his final logs to the pond where they will be sawed. Only a few men of that generation remain, with Chippewa and Menomonie rivers marked by fading lumber communities. Chippewa Falls faces a tougher fate than Menomonie as Shippewa Falls Sentinel notes. Albany Democrat adds Saturday night thoughts and shots on other days.

Advance Plan to Bond for Planking Highway
Coos County Business Men endorse a plan to issue 440000 in bonds to plank main roads with five inch timber. The proposal argues plank highways return local money, expanding 25–30 miles of planked roads versus 150–200 miles under hypothetical cement surfacing. Petitions to call a county election are planned for August.
