AN IMMENSE RAILROAD YARD
AT COXTON.
It Is to Be Created by the Lehigh
Valley Company and Will Be Six
Miles in Length It Will Be One
of the Largest in the East Ground
Will Be Broken Saturday for the
Church of St. John the Evangelist.
The D., L. & W. Board.
officials refuse to express any opinion
as to the solution of the question.
The Lehigh Valley Railioad company
has under consideration plans for the
enlargement of Coxton yards, the adop
tion of which will make Coxton yard
the largest on the Lehigh's system,
piobably one of the largest In the east.
When the work mapped out by these
plans Is completed the yard will be six
miles long In some places, ten tracks
wide and will be capable of holding
fifty-five hundred cars. The main
tracks, which nt present run. through
the heart of tho yard, villi be trans
ferred to the east side of tho yard, and
facilities will foe Introduced with which
to handle the immense amount of
freight that will pour into the yard
under the new system.
Coxton yard at present Is one of the
most important on the Lehigh. It Is
two and one-bait miles long, has ca
pacity for about twenty-five hundred
cars and gives employment to about
400 men. It Is so advantageously sit
uated that tho Lehigh has made It a
center for the distribution of through
and local freight. Freight trains fiom
the cast and west arrive at the yard
at all hours of tho night and day, con
taining through and local freight. The
freight la then separated nnd If for
prominent points Is sent to Its des
tination In a eolld train. These trains
run to the prominent eastern and west
ern points at certain hours during thi
day and night, and their running time
is nearly as fast as some passenger
trains. The advantage of this arninee-
ment Is that the greater amount of
shifting Is done In Coxton and that
much better time is made In the run
ning of through freight.
This concentration has over-tnxe.l
tho capacity of tho yard, hence the ne
cessity for tho Improvements.
The new yard will run from Lack
awanna nnd Bloomsburg junction to
Ranspm. a distance of six miles. From
Coxtpn to Ransom It will be on the
banks of the Susquehanna and will bs
independent of the main tracks, which
will run along the east side of the
yard. At "Ransom and at the Lack
awanna 'nnd Bloomsburg junction In
terlocking towers will ha erected, and
from Falling Springs to Ransom the
additional tracks will bo laid,
TJie construction of the main tracks
along their contemplated route will,
perhaps, be the mo?t important
cttanfe. At present a passenger train
running through the yard cannot ex
ceed, a speed of five miles an hour, but
xvh'ep tlie tiacks are changed there
will be no necessity of decreasing th
speed, a socond. This change would
have been made long ago but the Le
hlft, could tlnd no bed for Its tracks.
For; nearly a half-mllo above Coxton
the" tracks hug the mountain and run
close to tha river, only a veryfcnouow
wagon road separating them from the
towering and almost perpendicular
Idea of the mountain. This wagon
ioa4 Is known as the "narrows" and
is the only road on tho cast side of
the river running between Ransom
apd P(ttston. It Is tho only roadbed
that could, be used there by the Val
ly.bul the Ransom people would not
listen to Its being used, notwithstand
ing that the. Volley agreed to construct
a better road over the mountain,
TJte.jrtam under consideration pro
vide, that the track shall be laid on th
"min-owa," but how tc get possession
of Jhe .road Is not stated. The local

VOU CANNOT successfully educate yourself through the mails by
enrolling with one of our imitators. You are certain to lo;e the
money you pay for tuition, because their methods of instruction arc
illogical, and the results without value to any one desiring educa
tion for its practical use.
Our system of Correspondence Instruction in the Industrial
Sciences was originated in The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton,
Pa., in October, 1891. Since that time, we have taught the Theory of the
Engineering Trades and Professbns. as well as Aechanlcal and Architectural
Drawing, to thousands of industrial workers, and have qualified them for respon
sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students in every part of the civil
ized world.
That a method or an invention should thus extend aroun J the globe, and rapidly
grow in favor with the lapse of time, is proof positive of intrinsic value.
These great results have been achleveJ by original methods of teaching
methods especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction and Que-.tion
Papers and our Drawing Plates differ widely from school and college textbooks
and cost us over $300,000 to prepare and our imitators are compelled to employ a
cheaper but an utterly impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges
and the universities.
If the industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi
cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have been no field for Tlu
International Correspondence Schools, and our grand army of 160,000 students
could never have been assembl.-d.
Our instruction and Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the
textbooks used by students In the regular schools in the following important
respects :
FIRST? They are mastered more easily and in
leSS time. The theories and demonstrations cf science
its abstractions are always difficult. Our texthooks contain onlv the facts,
principles, and processes a: solutely required by the student in his trade or pro
fession. These are usually easy to learn and to apply. The workingman has not
the time to study all the matter contained in the school and college textbooks,
neither does his work require him to be strong in abstract theory. In the prepar
ation of our Instruction Papers, neither time nor expense is spared to secure the
greatest possible simplicity and ease of application. We do not occupy the time
of our students In the study of the deriva.ion of rules and formulas; we teach
them how to apply rules and formulas.
SECOND'. Tf!eU dre m0re Practical. orJInarv MlJl
v'"' " and college textbooks, such as are used bv our imitators,
contain no examples relating to Mining, Atechanics, Steam Lnginering. tlectriclty.
Architecture, Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Sheet-Aletal Pattern Draftinc, or
Civil Engineering. In each of our Courses, the examples and processes refer
directly to the trades or professions of the class of students for whom the Course
was prepared: so that from the beginning our students arc getting valuable
knowledge and are learning to apply it.
THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written by men strong
both in theory and practice. The authors ot
textbooks intended for use In colleges and universities have thorough scientific
training, indeed, but thev have little or none of the knowledge that can be gained
only by doing bv experience. They do not know. anJ, therefore, omit to mention
in their books, th'e way in which innumerable scientific tacts may be applied in
simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science are
familiar only to the expert both In theory and practice, and only such men are em
ployed as Editors and Instructors by the Alanagement of these Schools.
FOURTH' The men that make our textbooks su
1 vuniii. pervse the instruction of our students.
No one can teach the contents of a book so well as the man that wrote the book ;
he knows better than any one else what is In the book, why it is there, and its
importance with reference to the other parts of the entire subject.
FIFTH' They are frequently revised. Being private
' " ' " property, protected by copyright, school and college testbooks
cannot be changed at the pleasure of those that use them. In order to correct what
Is wrong, Improve what is faulty, smooth away difficulty, and insert what is of
later discoverv, changes must be made very ircquently. Our Instruction Papers
belong to us , and In our Editorial Department, they are in constant comparison
with what Is latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of every kind are
therefore remedied without delav. In the case of textbooks on Applied Physical
Science, the need of rev ision occur w Ith special frequency. Take Electrical books,
for example; many works on this subject printed live years ago are now nearly
worthless, for the reason that they arc out 0: dat.
$
SIXTH' teach industrial drawing by an origi
' nal and very successful method. mAiechan-
ical and Architectural Drawing, special Plates were prepareJ at an enormous
expense both In time and money. They have been copyrighted because they em
boJv a method of instruction entirely nev oiu that has been extraordinarily pro
ductive of practical results.
Our students in drawing make as rapid progress in learning and become as
proficient as the students of the regular schools and colleges, the principles 1111
derlin? our system of teaching drawing are cntirelv different from those in the
systems employed In the regular schools, colleges, and universities, and there is
110 other system by which drawing is taught as successfully through tho mails.
Any svstem of education for people with limited tune to devote to stuJy by
the correspondence method that relies on the use of school and collegi textbooks
will end in failure; the student that pays his mon:y tor such tuition will get no re
turns. If you want to educate vourself in the theory of your trade or profession, if
you want to become a drafts-nan or to add to your eirning capacity the strength
that COMES I ROM THE UNION OF SCILNCE WITH PRACTICE, we call help
you.
