Snow Shed Fires on the Central Pacific.


Particulars of the cause of delay to
passenger trains which occurred last
week are given by the Corinne Record,
which says that the fire first broke out
on Tuesday morning in the snow-sheds
east of Emigrant Gap. The sheds for
a distance of 1890 feet, were destroyed
and the track rendered utterly useless
by the burning of the ties and warping
of the rails. The fire was extinguished
in less than two hours, but the work of
repairing the track was tedious and
difficult.
Everything had been got into good
working order, when, about half past
. O'Clock the same day, another fire
alarm was sent in, and it was learned
that the confiagration was just east OF
Tunnel No. 3, about five miles east OF
Cisco, and between Tamarack and Cas-,
cade. Freight train No. Z coming east
had passed through the tunnel, and at
"a curve 4 few rods further on entered a
cut and suddenly ran into Il blazing
snow-shed. If they had been going
down hill, instead of ascending, the
greater portion of the train would have
been piled up, as the head engine,
probably in consequence of its reaching
some warped iron, jumped from the
track and fell owe on its side, and both
engines 1.-THE train having two attached
to it as usual on the hill and three
loaded ars were burned. The other
cars, numbering Is, were cut loose and
saved. The snow-sheds were burned
for a distance of 1000 feet before the
fire was subdued. The origin of the
fire is not yet known. Several employees
We're seriously injured.

This is the season of the year for the
trouble so often experienced by visitors
to trout stream and the hills-especially
by ladies-known as s'sunburn." 1t is
a cause of much suffering, ard the or
binary applications of "cold cream"
''rose-cream," glycerine, ETC., are of
but little avail. We have been told
that this application of soda immediate,
ly destroys the smarting pain of ''sun-
burn" and rapidly changes the red
burn to the normal healthy complexion.
Such is the assurance of lady who has
tried it.

Canadian pony, very small. generally
plump and fat; has heavy black name

that he may have left the herd before
