A Californian In a Commanding
Position.

The placing of Mr.. A. N.Towne at the
head of the whole Central and Southern
Pacific Railways and of all the Eastern
qualifications of those roads advances n
Californian of great experience, tech
nical skill and sagacity to very com
manding position. Few railway men in
the United States have ever been
pushed forward with more rapidity or
more deservediy than Mr.. Towne. As
the executive head of these colossal
corporations he has won recognition for
his vast administrative ability on all
hands. Personally he has had nothing
to do with the controversies which have
sometimes become envenomed between
the people and the well known railway
magaates who own the Central and
Southern Pacilic Railways. Possessing
that peculiar ability which assures n
consummate mastery Of details, Mr..
Towne has fought his way stoad.
lily from the humble station
of brakeman to a control
in railway matters which recalls
that of the late Col. Thomas A. Scott,
in the hey.dny Of his success, more than
any other man. AS Mr.. Towne is an
enthusiastic Californian and will be
certain to work heartily for the interests
of this State, it is pleasant and hope
ful sign to see such large allotment of
Eastern railways passing under his man
apement Taken in connection with
the railways declared policy Of enforce
ing large immigration from Europe to
California, we look for tho bappiest
results from the extension Of the Cali
fornia system Its first effect has been
the announcement of rate from Europe
to San Francisco Of SG5-a superlativoly
low figure. That the other incidents of
Mr.. Towne's control Of the whole Cali
fornia system of railways will be equal
ly satisfactory we have every reason to
hope.

IL is, after all, astonishing to note how
Very few people really have definite no.
tons of the seasons in Los Angeles
county. There are many old time resi-
dents who think that twelve or fifteen
inches Of rain arc needed to insure
crops. Thus far we have had, by our
local gauges, a fraction over four inches.
Should we have only four inches more,
say an inch and a.half within the next
three weeks, an inch and a.half in the
beginning, and an inch at the end of
March, we would have the best crops
this county has ever known. Eight
inches of rain, properly distributed, are
ample in this county to assure a boun.
tiful harvest. The fou. inches which
have already fallen have been admir-
ably allotted. As matter of fact,
no agricultural interest is suffering Just
now. On all, except the cold lands, the
grass even has gone on growing finely.
In all the coast ranches the feed is
splendid. With triliing exceptions, all
tho cereal crops are in a most promising
condition. How little rain is needed to
mature crops of wheat or barley in this
county, when they have been sown in
time to benefit by the rains, is shown by
the result on the Centinela rancho in
the celebrated dry year 1901. when
the total rainfall for the season was
only 5.9i inches-an unprecedentcdly
small total. Mr.. Flood, one of Mr.. d.
Freeman's tenants, had put in consid.
cradle acreage in barley and wheat. He
had sowed it early, so that it got the
benefit of every drop of rain So much
discouraged was lie at the outlook,
however, as the season went on, that
tie went to Mr.. Freeman and offered to
sell him the crop in the ground, his
horses and ang-plows, all for $1,000.
As that was the first year OF the expert
ment OF raising grain on the Centinela,
Mr.. Freeman himself was intimidated
and declined to buy his tenant out
very luckily for Flood. Notwithstand.
ing the tiiling amount of the rainfall,
II came down so OPPORTUNITY that, aided
by the Spring fogs, Mr. Flood received
between $4,000 and $4,000 for his share
oil the crop, besides retaining his teams
and other property, We have pur.
posely selected this year as an example.
because the rainfall was tho lowest of
which any record can be found in Los
Angeles county. Last year the total
rainfall on the CeHtinela ranch was only
eight inches, and yet most bountiful
and remunerative crop, for which very
high prices were obtained, was harvested
there. Paradoxical as it may seem, il is
a question as to whether our farmers
would not secure a larger and better
grain crop this year with an additional
downpour Of only four inches, properly
distributed, than with dozen inches
slumped down in buckets full, harden
ing and running off from the surface Of
the soil to the water courses, rs is the
case in years Of floods.

The season OF Hallway Disasters.

There need DO no wonder at the great
number OF accidents which are tele-
graphed from the East ut this season of
the year. There is absolutely no nov.
city about the matter, and this time last
year, the readers of the HERALD were
devouring details Of exactly the same
casualties which provide them with sen.
sational pabulum now. Railway compa
mics can aud ought, by heating their
cars with steam, lighting them with cleo
tricity. and providing the latest and
most improved apparatus for braking,
measurably prevent disaster; but after
all ia done that can be done, there are
certain accidents incident to this season
of the year, that cannot be nverted.
When the mercury slips down in the
bulb to zero and below, iron and steel
will contract, bolts will loosen and
very frequent experience of trains rush
ing at beadlong speed will be TO impale
themselves on sprung rails, with the re-
suit of ditching locomotives and cars;
and, II there be stoves and coal oil
lamps, with the almost inevitable Incl
dent of holocaust. No amount of pru-
dence can absolutely prevent rail.
road accidents from this cause. they
are as natural as frost-bitten
nose, toe or car, though by no
means so easily avoided. No sa.
gacious man ever oluntarily selects the
time Of the Spring or Fall equinox for
travel by sen, or the winter months by
rail But the fact should not be for.
gotten that the loss of life by these acct.
dents can be reduced to minimum by
guarding against combustion. Railway
cars should not DO converted into finder
boxes in winter. Abolish the stove and
the coal oil lamp, and the percentage
Of deaths on the rail will be reduced
intellectually. Railway management
ought to keep progress with all other
lines of business, and il is impossible to
deny, that in many respects, it has done
so. Ten years ago, the illustrated
papers were wont to contain almost
weekly, cartoons Of tho Bergen
tunnel. That famous hole in tho
ground, was pictured with the
gloomy skull and cross.bones over its
keystone. Trains were in the habit of
telescoping themselves therein nearly
every week. The lugubrious sentiment
appropriate to the entrance OF Dantes
Inferno, "All hope abandon, ye who
enter here" filed the foreboding breasts
of those who were obliged to go through
the frightful pass. And yet it is now as
safe to so through the Bergen as any
other tunnel; and accidents therein have
of late years been as few and far between
as angels visits. Travelling can be
made almost entirely safe, and the pub
lie should be educated up to the point of
insisting that it should be made so.
Once create the public sentiment and
the reformation will MS surely follow as
the night the day. The Legislature can
very justly contribute its part to the
change by providing for safe methods Of
heating and lighting trains. Then
We shall be reduced simply to tho incv-
table casualties of this season of the
year.
