One of the Most Extensive and Rest
Equipped Coast Systems.
Sacramento City has one of the best
equipped electric railways ON the Pacific
Coast. The Company owns the entire
franchise, which covers all the principal
streets Of the city, and has now in onera-
ton something over sixteen miles of
railway, with several additional miles
nearly completed. The system used is
that of the single trolly and the Thomson
Houston and Edison motors and oan-
orators. When all the lines now u6GIar

RAIs1Ss FROM SACRAMENTO

Sacramento's rating among the cities of
the State makes an interesting story.
She stands first in shipments OF green
deciduous fruits.
First in shipments of hops.
Second in the total shipments of all
kinds of merchandise.
Second IN shipments of dried fruits and
wine.
Third in the shipments of canned goods
and potatoes.
OF dried fruit shipments aggregating
52,00,090 pounds for theyear, Sacramento
shipped 100000 pounds, or one fourth
of the whole.
OF 100000 pounds of green deciduous
fruits shipped East during the year, Sac
ramento shipped 30, 100000
OF merchandise of all kinds aggregat-
ing 6l2O00,000 pounds, Sacramento
shipped $4,000, 200, or say one-fifth.

railroad works proper, while another
thousand, including trainmen, clerks,

A complete chemical department is an
another interesting feature of the railroad
works here. Its chief duties are to test
the composition and qualities of the va
rious kinds of metals used in the con-
struction of cars.
A WILDERNESS OF PATTERNS.
The pattern-shop is an immense struet-
ure. The patterns stored therein, and
which must be kept so arranged that any
particular one can be taken out on short
notice, embrace the various portions of
locomotives, mammoth steamboat en-
gines and machinery of all kinds, shop
tools, bridge work, pumps, etc, and
number close upon $4,000 pieces. The

and arrangement of the various shops
and buildings III this city, which embrace
an area of some thirtY-three acres. The
grounds are tastefHlly laid out, and are
kept III the best possible condition. They

itor, Ito plant these graceful Australian
trees around and among the noises of
boiler-shops and FORCES and the shrill re-
monstrances of wood-planers and saws,
and Nature has approved the plan and
helped it on"
EFFICIENT FIRE SERVICE.
One of the features of these railroad
works is the complete and efficient SyS-
tenn of protection against fire that is
maintained. There is large and well or
gained fire brigade, among the work
men, who hold regular drills, and are
prepared at q moments notice to do
effective Service IN any portion Of the
grounds. An important part of this sys-
tenn are the s1ire-trainS. Yard engines
have been fitted up with powerful pump
ing apparatus. and the instant fire
breaks out they are attached to tank-cars
containing many million gallons of wa
ter and run to the point Of danger.
Not only are these fire trains ready at
all times Tor duty among the shops, but
they are frequently called upon to quell
outside fires. If the snowsheds take fire
anywhere west of the summit of the
Sierra Nevada the fire-trains are sent out
to do battle against the flames. They

eight of the largest Pullmans. The re-

All the ornamental glass etchings, etc.,
used in the cars constructed here, is done
in these shops; in fact, there is no part of
car or locomotive that cannot be sup
piled by the works here.
