Logging by Steam,

Forest Commissioner Theodore B. Bassehn
has introduced logging by steam into the
woods of Lewis county, N. Y. He has built
a steam sleigh, which is capable of carrying
1900 feet of logs equivalent to the loads Of
fifteen teams of horses. The continuance re-
sembles box car The motive power is fur
nished by boiler seven feet high and weigh
ing four tons and two engines Of 800 horse
power each. There are four drive wheels
weighing two tons each, and an arrangement
by which the exhaust steam, condensed into
water, falls continually before the runners of
the sleigh, turning the snow into ice. The
machine cost $4,000, but is expected to be a
profitable investment on account Of the saw
ing in cost Of teams and men.-Detroit Fres

The Other Fellow.

nS OlIlST FSIlo"s
Bonneville Journal
How seldom do our dreams come true!
The very thing our fancy lets
Us hope in time will be our own
Some other fellow always gets.
We'fall in love; the minds diseased,
The brain is in foolish whirl;
And while we worship from afar
Some other fellow gets the girl.
We try for wealth-deluded fools!-
AS men from Adams time have
done;
And while we toll, and strive, and
fret.
Some other fellow yanks the bun.
We yearn for fame, and struggle hard
To win some measure of renown,
And find that to posterity
Some other fellows name goes down.
All! what a torment life would be
If we were of the hope bereft
That in some fairer world than this
That other fellow would get left!

RAILROAD EARNINGS.
The Southern Pacific's Annual Financial
Statement.


The San Francisco Call of yesterday says
The past year was certainly golden Pc
Rod in the history of the Southern Pacific
Company. The returns from all sources
are now in, and the preparation of the an
nual report has been commenced. The
gross earnings exceeded all expectations,
and the net returns are larger than was an
ticipated. The expenditures, however,
were immense but the road-bed and equip
ments are now in better working order
than they have ever been before. Immense
quantities of rolling-stock have been pur-
chased, and many miles OF steel rail laid.
The gross earnings of the entire system
were $4S, $50, 208 the expenditures, includ-
ing interest on bonds, etc, reached the i'm
mense total of $4,000, 3S1-iust $5,61S, 05O
more than the total gross earnings of 1887.
This leaves a surplus of So 948 500, from
wbioh cum han to be deducted the guaran-
teed rental of the Central Pacifc-$1, $780,
000-leaving balance of 50, 5SS, S26-about
q per cert. on an outstanding stock of $780,
100000 at the end OF the year.
The balance of profit in 1887 was only
81, 1856 700, the gross earnings being 500, 283,
631, and the expenditures $36, ZIG $780,
The Central Pacific Company's gross
earnings for 1888 reached the some of SIS
| S44, S62, and the expenditures were, S14.-
49,, 032, leaving balance profit of 1862 S29.
The expenditures include all the sinking
fund requirements under the Thurman
| Act, interest on bonds, etc. These figures
show that the earning capacity of this line
is not so great as it might be.
The rental guaranteed by the Southern
Pacific is 1850, 900, SO that there is de-
felt of 1897 170, which has to be paid out OF
, the earnings of the operating company
Last year the Southern Pacific had only 10
make up deficiency of $113. 266 These
| figures illustrate the fact that the operations
under the lease are greatly to the advantage
of the Central Pacific.

The Approaching city Election.

The City Trustees viii issue proelamat on on
Monday next for an election for city officers, to
take place on Tuesday, March 18th. reporter
of the REcoRD-UNIoS endeavored yesterday to
find the Chairman of the Republican City Cen
trail Committee, but was unable to do so. He
however, found number of the committee.
J. w. Wilson said he was in favor of allowing
one delegate at large to each ward, and then a
delegate to every so many voters, taking the
last Presidential election as a basis
John Barrett, another member of the conf
mittee said he wanted the primary called with
the ten days notice. He wanted to see things
go on in accordance with law. He was salts
fed that with square deal all factions could be
harmonized. The people demand a fair cleo
ton, and when that is had everybody will be
satisfied with the result.
Dugald ellis. another Committeeman. said
| he saw no use of having delegate at large in
each ward as has been spoken of. Let us take
| as basis, said he, delegate for every thirty
Republican votes cast at the recent Presidential
election. Let Us take swift syote as an Eleetor.
That will give us q Convention with I2l dele
| gates divided as follows: First Ward 49, Second
| Ward n, Third Ward IS, Fourth Ward 80. he
said the Central Committee ought TO be called
| together right away.
| This is the general expression of Repubn
cans. They desire meeting of the Central
Committee Immediately, so that the legal
notice OF ten days may be given for a
| primary under the Porter law; TO have it
conducted in such manner that every Repub-
lican may give untrammeled expression OF his
choiee ioi ueieShteS tnal tne proportion OF dele
getes shall be equal In all the wards, that is say
one delegate to every thirty Republican votes
| cast at the last Presidential election that the
| best men be selected as candidates, and that q
| fair ballot and honest count be had in every
precinct. With these conditions no good citi-
zen can find fault, and il is to be hoped that all
will lend their aid 10 secure them. One
objection which is generally made 10
methods of the past, is that the primaries are
called 50 late that sufficient opportunity is moi
given TO canvass the merits of candidates
Cause for this criticism should be avoided, and
TO do so meeting of the Central Committee
and its declarations to carry out the instruction,
adopted by resolution at the last City Conven
ton would be opportune at the earliest moment

Gathering of Newspaper Men.

The Colusa San says: meeting of the
editors and publishers Of Southern Califor-
mia suggested meeting of those of North
ern and Central California. We were re-
quested by number to name the time and
place of meeting. We suggested Monday,
February 18th. as the time and Sacramento
| as the place. Quite NUMBER have objected
| to the time, because of the excitement in
cident upon the close CT the Legislature.
As we seem, by common consent, to be a
committe of one for fixing a time and
| place. we name Sacramento as the place,
| and Monday, March 18th, at 7:30 o'clock P.
NJ, as the time. The building will be des-

particular good that has resulted from any
meeting of editors and publishers. but
there have been many held IN the United
States, and all have seemed to give salts
faction. II we do nothing more than get
acquainted, will 'tnot be worth the cost
1t would give Us much pleasure to meet

we are acquainted. and still more to be-
come acquainted with the balance. There
may not be dollar ia it for any of us, but

PITCHER HAPEMAN.
One of Our Native sacramentans Is Signed
by Manager Gillis.

One of Our Native sacramentans Is Signed
by Manager GillIs.
Al. Hapeman, the brilliant young pitcher, has
signed q Sacramento contract, and next season
will materially aid the sacramentos in climb
ing the championship ladder. He was born in
our beautiful city on the f9th of October 1867,
and is now p years of age. He is of medium
build measuring feet inches in hight and
weighs about $50 pounds. Recommended play
ing ball when quite young, and displayed such
remarkable speed as u pitcher that he was
eagerly sought after by all the amateur clubs
then organized and flourishing in this city. In
the year 1885 he signed with the Snowfiakes an
amateur club of this city, where his abilities at
tracted the attention of the managers of the Los
Angeles club, and upon receiving flattering
offer from that city he departed for the realms
of boomland. where his brilliant work was
always iavorably commented upon. Through
out that season he played with the boomland
club, ard greatly assisted them in securing the
championship of Southern California His abil-
tiles made his name famous in baseball circles,
and he was eagerly sought for by all the be- Sc
ball managers on the Pacific coast.
Manager Finn of the Pioneers was the first to
open negotiations with him, and after consid-
cradle persuasion, he was induced TO sign a
Pioneer contract, which he never fulfilled and
was therefore blacklisted. With the California
| League black list hanging over him. he was en-
gagged by the Los Vegas Club of New Mexico
| and opened the season of 1887 with that team.
| f1ere III Tue ldIlu VI the savage duQ COWBOY ana
| excellent ball-players, be gained the grestest
| laurels that has been added to his fame He
! pitched throughout the season for this club,
| and won the pennant for them after many a
hard contested game. During the season the
| change pitcher OF the team became disabled
and the club depended upon Hapeman to do all
| the pitching He was put in to pitch in seven
teen straight games, winning sixteen and losing
one record of which any pitcher can well
feel proud. In 1888, after three seasons of hard
pitching against professional ball players, he
returned 10 the city of his birth and has become
one OF sseramento's great pitchers. A very
| iiattering offer came to him from Terre Haute
but he concluded to remain in the place of his
nativity, where bis good work Will SURELY be ap
| preciated. Hapeman is a gentlemanly and un
| assuming young man, and deserves all the
honor conferred uponshim. In ball playing, as
| i'll other pursuits. he is as honest as the day is
\ long. and will be credit to the team with
which he has signed. Besides being grca
pitcher he is an excellent fielder, the inferior
none in the California League. Sacramento
should feel proud to present to the baseball
| pubic one of her native sons.
