The UsaA and Los Angeles Railroad,

The Usah and Los Angeles Railroad.
1t is said in railroad circles that the
Southern Pacific will show no hostility
to the extension of the Utah Southern to
Los Angeles because that corporation is
very anxious to get cheap supplies Of
coal from the mines of Utah. The quail
ity of the coal of those mines is very
superior, and it rates as the best and
most economical coal on the continent
for producing steam. In recent official
report of the Southern Pacific it was said
that the fuel supply for the operation
of the road was one of the
most difficult problems the COM
pany had to meet. The cost OF bringing
coal by vessels from Australia and Great
Britain was SO great that it constituted
the most formidable item in the expense
list. The coal Of the Northwestern coast
is used to q certain extent, but it is not
satisfactory. The fuel expense OF the
Southern Pacific was placed in that re-
port at IL per cent of the entire expend-
itures of the company on this coast. 1t
will therefore be seen that if the extern
sion of the Utah Southern is to furnish
cheap and good coal, the Southern Pacific
will thus be enabled to solve the fuel
problem which has caused the company
SO much rerplexity.
In addition to the new railroad opening
to this coast the coal mines of Utah, il
will run in close proximity to an exten-
sive iron mountain that is equal in quality
and as extensive in quantity as any
known iron deposit in the United States
Limestone also exists in great profusior
[ in the ranges between here and Phoebe
Salt and soda marshes abound IL
Nevada and along the line of the Carson
and Colorado road which will be ex
tended to the Utah Southern. Iron ant
steel works will be established here on 6
profitable basis when the country bacl
of us is opened by the Utah Southern
The salt marshes will supply the miners
Vkh an article Indispensable in thu
reuuction Of their ores.
When we add to the above valuabl,
deposits the fact that there are fifty vel
known mining districts on the line CT th'
road, or within reach of it, it requires M
great amount of sagacity to see that {
country is to be opened to us which will
make Southern California the center o
an activity such as will render it tn,
most prosperous section in the country
Il We wish our readers to make note O
the fact that whilst there may be i'm
mensely rich bonanzas developed in th
mining districts, yet we do not place g.
much stress upon such a possible con
tingency, as We do upon the fact that al
the districts are rich in the possession o
exhaustless ranges OF minerals
where the ores will pay
fair profit for their reduction
These mines are permanent because th
ore exists in boundless quantities, an,
THAT is what will insure steady work an,
reasonable wages for an unlimited mum
Der of people for all time.
We are on the eve of prosperity tha
will be of steady, progressive and per
manent character.

into military academy, with the
company officers as instructors. He
recommends the selection of 300 to
500 enlisted men, according to standing
at the end of their fourth year, to be
transferred to West Point for final in
struction there during the fifth year.
his idea is that commissions De issued
to these men according to their standing
at the completion OF their final year at
West Point, and that all other modes of
original appointment to the army be
abolished. All enlisted men not chosen
for the final course at the end of the
fourth year should be discharged at the
end of the fourth year. The General
thus sums up the results of the system
proposed: In marvelousiy short time
there will be officers ready made fol

A SAN Fernando Fire,

A correspondent writes from San Fer
nando stating that that town recently
narrowly escaped a large conf1agration.
Smoke was observed to be issuing from
the roof of Boards hotel, and one of the
citizens ran in and up stairs to the attic,
where he discovered whole can of coal
oil and tin washpan filed with rags
saturated with coal oil. These rags were
in blaze and hole was nearly burned
through the roof. To extinguish the
flames was but the work of a moment
A few minutes later the entire roof would
have been in flames, and it is considered
that the timely discovery saved the

meeting in hall on Main street, the
Democrats in the courthouse. The Re-
than q quorum, and were called to order
by State Auditor Kenny. and sworn in
by Jugtice Blake. Organization was
perfected. A. G. Witter, Of Beaver
Head county was named Speaker. A
full list Of subordinate officers was
elected and recess was then taken till

met at the courthouse and effected or
ganiz alton. Blskely, of Gallstin, was
elected Speaker. The members we're
sworn in by notary public, and the
doors were closely guarded by Demo
Gratis. No one WAS admitted except
those hcldins certificates Of election from
County CLERKS.

the Democratic members absented them
selves, aud there was no quorum. Lieu.
tenant Governor Richards called the
Senate to order. The roll was called and
the eight Republicans present were
sworn in by Judge Hunt. Adjourned
till Monday morning.
In caucus of Republican Senators
and Representatives this evening, the
action of the Republican House mem.
bers in organizing separately was ex-
planned. 1t was stated that the Repub-
lican action was based upon the prccla-
nation Of Governor Toole that none
would he recognized as having rights az
members except those holding certif-
Gates Of election from County Clerks. II
! was stated further that the new constitu
| ton in force since October let expressly
provides that all returns shall be can
vaesed by the same board created by the
enabling act to canvass tho returns ON the
constitution. The Republicans stand
unanimously on the proposition that only
such al are found to be members by the
State canvassers are entitled to vote,
and all power to determine further
rights resides wholly in the separate
Houses. They further allege that tho
Governor ordered the members to meet
in certain places that until the last mo.
ment before the hour appointed were
locked and guarded, with no prospect
but that ouch places would continue un-
der the Governors personal control
Rather than submit to such supervision
and restrictions thu Republicans, with
the officer designated by law to call the
House to order, proceeded to organize
elsewhere.

GOVERNOR uILI,s DECISION.
Bank Burglar Hopes Arrest DC,
clared illegal.

ChaESu hAkS&ANs
ALBANY, N. Y, November 23.-Gov-
ernor Hill today decided the case of
Jimmy" Hope, the famous bank burg
lar. In view of the facts presented, the
Governor has revoked the warrants here
tofore issued to arrest Hope. 1t appears
that Hope was compulsorily brought into
the State from California on requisi.
ton, and upon his release from
prison was Immediately arrested
under a requisition from Delaware.
Governor Hill has filed an elaborate de-
cision holding Hope entitled to q reason
able time to return to California after his
release here, and hence his arrest was
premature. The point of law is an inter-
esting one, in regard to which there have
heretofore been many conflicting deci-
sions. Hope ia now in custody in New
York, aud will be given an oppol tunity
to return to California if he so desires.

after reviewing this history of pensions,
advised the appointment of a special
commission to revise all pension lesisla-

of such q pension in 1916. which would
be fifty years after the close Of the war.

BERLIN, November 23-The terms Of
the truce between Austria and Russia
which Bismarck forced upon Count
Kalnoky are already partly fulfilled on
the Russian side. The Czar has stopped
the Pan. Slavist Committee from sending
agents into Bulgaria, and has perempt-
orily warned them not to foster in the
meantime, within Bulgaria, any agita-
tion. The Austrian side has brought about
a rupture of the proposed marriage of
Prince Ferdinand to Princess Alecon.
Count Kalaoky has instructed the Aus
trian Consul in Sofia to modify his parti-
sanship in behalf of Prince Ferdinand.
Finally Emperor Francis Joseph has
consented to grant to Trentino an auton-
omous local administration. Russia, be =
hind her peaceful diplomatic mask, does
not cease her massing of troops upon her
frontier. The work of railway extension
is being accelerated in order that the
strategic system may be completed by
May. :,
THE BRAZILIAN DICTATORSHIP.
Public opinion tends to doubt the
permauence of the Brazilian republic.
The North German Gazette says: "The
present wielders of power must be
warned to avoid measures that must
force the European States to interfere to
protect their countrymen."
Gable dispatches to Hamburg firms
assert that the new ministry is
divided by fierce personal quarrels;
that General da Fonseca's dictatorial
manners irritate his colleagues, and
that his resignation is desired. A pre-
diction which finds credence lie that the
republic will break into three States
equatorial, central and southern, the
latter having large German population
claiming the protection of the Father
land.

Not only is Russia the greatest

throughout the century has boon ap-

dow They Dressed and How ThGy wero
Paid in Old Athens.
It was customary to increase the
stature Of the actors by the use of
cothurnus or buskin-a kind of high
boot, ornamented in front and having
q layer of sole some three inches thick.
The cothurnus was painted the same
color as the robe worn. In addition
to this, masks covering the whole head
and face were used. On the top, over
the forehead. was q lofty frontlet of
conical form, which must have added
considerably to the stature and dignity
of the actor; inside the mask there
seems to have been some contrivance
for strengthening the power Of the
voice to enable it to fill the immense
space of the auditorium. Bell-shaped
vessels of bronze are said to have been
placed in various parts Of the theater
to reflect the sound, and the actors
were subjected to q severe course of
training both as to power and modu-
lation OF voice. Many of the actors
were men of position and in
fuence in Attic society, and
more than one had been intrusted
with diplomatic and other missions.
Sometimes the poet himself played in
his own compositions, as Aeschylus is
said to have done. 1t may interest
some of the craft of the present day TO
learn that as much as talent (nearIy
250 pounds) has been paid to an actor
of note for two performances. There
were only three performers in speak
ing parts, the others were silent; in
deed, they could not have spoken had
they tried, for their masks had the
orifice of the mouth. closed, while
those worn by the principal actor and
his two subordinates were constructed
with the mouth open in the shape Of
an o. No women were allowed to ac&,
the female parts being taken, as in
Shakespearean times with us, by boys
or young men, not only on the stage
itself, but in the chorus. Sophocles,
when g. youth, was selected for his
grace and beauty to lead the choral
dance at the festival given in honor of
the victors at Salamis- The dresses
worn on the stage bore no resemblance
to the ordinary Athenian costume, but
were probably q modification of the
festal robes worn in the old Dionysiac
procession, and consisted of flowing
robes of purple and yellow and other
brilliant hues, crowns or chaplets, and
embroidered girdles. These robes were
so lengthy as to cover the feet, and
were common to all characters, male
as we'll as female-Chambers' journal.
