should be remembered, is the inventory

cluding the st. Louis and San Francisco
and Colorado Midland lines.
FROM ANOTHER WORLD.
Superintendent j. A. Muir and the
resident engineer of the Southern Pacific
company both wear piece of minia-
ture rail.
The history of these watch charms is
rather curious. Some months ago
Deming, N. NJ, when he was startled
by binding light, terrible noise and
a shock as if from an earthquake. When
he came to his senses, the air was full
of sulphulous odors, and at his feet lay
a cleaning stone, which had not been
there moment before. The Mexican
in the excitement of the moment grasped
the object in both hands but dropped it
at once as it was literally red hot. rhe
result was that his hands were burned
to the bone and he had to come to this
city and spend several months in the
hospital before he could use them again.
He bought the strange stone with
him. however, which turned out to be
fragment from another world, which
had fallen through space into the earth
at Deming-a meteorite. The Mexican
gave the uncanny stone to Mr.. Muir,
who had it reduced and the metal ex-
tracted and the watch charms made. The
metal is supposed to be a mixture of
nickel and iron. 1t takes beautiful
polish and makes unique curiosity.
MR.. wADE's RETURN.
General Manager K. II. Wade, of the
Southern California Railroad company
returned yesterday from Chicago where
he has been on business.
To HERALD reporter who saw him
yesterday, Mr.. Wade said: my visit
had no special significance; it was made
to settle some business matters which
could not well be attended to by letter.
mo, nothing has been done about the
Santa Monica branch or the reconstruc-
tion of the Temecula cation route, nor
will anything be decided until President
Marvel and the directors arrive here.
When will that be? Sometime in Febru-
ary, the exact date is not settled.
81 had an opportunity of contrasting
the climates of the two places. When |
left Chicago, last Saturday night, a
blizzard was making things lively, and l
could not get clothes enough on me to
keep warm.
'The war at Redlands? Oh, that will
be adjusted in few days all right, |
think. The Southern Pacific tried to
use our right of way without asking for
it and of course we objected. There is
plenty of room there if they want to pay
for right of way. That's my under
standing of the matter. but l suppose
theirs is different"
Mr.. Wade is we'll and seems thor
oughly well satisfied to be back.
