way, to come up from San Jose and pre-
sent franchise to our Board of 1Jitv
Trustees, and we pledged him that this
franchise would be granted him. He
came up and did as asked, and it was put
of until this morning, when he again
appeared, and what was the result? This
Board of Trustees, which is supposed to
represent this city's interest, voted to a
man not to give him permission to run
his electric road on p street, and this in
the face of the petitions OF the property
owners
always understood that what we most
wanted was capital and manufactures.
and here IS Mr.. Henry, representing as
he does one Of the largest syndicates in
this country, and asks permission to Law
out nearly one hundred Thousand dollars
in our midst and we say: NO, sir: take
your capital and go elsewhere, we do not
want you;" or at least our Board of Citv
Trusted say so for US, but they do not
speak for this city. The people should
rise and demand that they reconsider
their action. A TAXPAYER.

Silurianism.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: We have heard
a great deal said about ''Silurians.n but it
seems to me that it showed UP in huge
proportions this morning when the CITY
Fathers voted against giving Mr.. Henry
franchise for an electric railroad on p
street, from Twenty eighth to Sixth. and
along that street to J. This was done in
the face OF the petitions representing
nearly every property y-owner on both
sides of z street. Are we living in a free
country, when eight-tenths of the tax
payers ask for al improvement in front
OF their property and three so-called
City Trustees" refuse their request :?
There are hundreds of vacant lots sorIth
OF 2 street that would be improved and
greatly increase the amount of taxes paid
into the city treasury should this road be
built, and which would give us the pleas
ure OF getting down town by quick
transit. Talk is cheap, but it takes a
man like Mr.. Henry TO put UP the coin
and build the road, and not walk about
the city with the franchises in his pocket.

The First Cable Road.

The first elevated road was O cable road and
was built and operated on Greenwich street.
New York, by Charles T. Harvey. in 1865.
Ih1s was the beginning of the present New
York elevated system by steam, which was
lnaugurated in 1871. The first street cable
line was built by A. S. Hallidie, in San Fran
cisco, Cal, and put in operation in August
1873. Many years previous 10 this, however,
cable traction had been successfully employed
upon certain railways in coal lmines.-RECoRD
UNION.
EDS. RECORD UNION: / wish to correct
an error in the above. 1t is in last Satur-
days RECoRD-UNIoS. The first elevated
road was cable road, and was built and
operated in London, Eng, nearly fifty
years ago. 1t ran from Fenchurch street
10 Blackwall, distance of about five
miles. 1t was built on brick arches all
the way and went over the tops the
houses, the arches underneath being rsed
for storehouses for grain, hay, lumber.
coal, etc., the motive power being sta
tIonary engines at e1cli end of the line.
Perhaps a. S. Hallidie of San Francisco
obtained his idea from the above, the
only difference being that the wire and
grip Of the London railway was above
the ground the cable-ruGning on wheels.
while in Hallidie's il is below the surface
Of the street
The London railway would have from
slA ~ tei cars NLeH tHey started, With
conductor to each. At each station-Step-
nev, Limehouse, etc.-the grip was
slipped, the car stopped, passengers got
of at their station, others got on, and by
the time the train reached Blackwell
only two or three cars remained OF the
original train. The missing cars soon
after arrived, the train was again made
up and returned to its original starting
point. Thus A. S. Haiiidie's cable line
was not the first by over twenty,years.

CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.
Tools and implements are damaged
more by rust and exposure to alternate
rain and sunshine than by actual usage.
Rain and dew will rust the bright jour
nal bearings of farm implements on one
side, perhaps, rendering that side rough.
Then that side of the bearing will begin
10 cut or wear away; and as soon as
one side of journal begins to wear it
viii wear faster and faster until the bear
ing is damaged beyonl repair, requiring
the SUBSTITUTION of now journal. Rain
and dew viii expand the wood work of
implements and softell the grain of the
surface, after which the heat of the sun
will dry and crack the wood, making
numerous small fissur,es for water to
enter. Plow handles and many other
parts of implements that have been bent
after they have been exposed TO the in
fiuence of rain and sunshine lose their
form and shape. Shovel handles, scythe
.snaths, cradle fingers, and some other
bent portions of hand tools and horse inn
DIements, are often ruined by exposure
10 storm and sunshine. Let 1t be an in
Hexible rule of the farm that tools and
smplements mustnot be left outdoors ex-
posed to the damaging influence OF wet
and weather. Let every helper under
stand that he must clean hoes, shovels
and spades, wipe the blades dry and put
them under shelter as soon as they are
not in actual use. A man will accom-
