s. p. Firemen Want Wages Increased

SAN Francisco, Oct. 13-The locomotive
firemen of the Southern Pacific Company
have decided to appeal from the decision
of General Superintendent Fillmore refus-
ing to grant an advance in wages over the
whole Pacific system, and their demands
will in the course of a few days be laid be-
fore A. N. Towne. If they fail to ger sat
isfaction at the hands of the general man.
ager, then President Huntington will be
requested to review their demands. At
the present time the firemen receive a
monthly sum equal to Sc per cent. of the
wages earned by the engineers for the same
period. In their recent complaint they
asked for an advance to 60 per cent, the
rate allowed on the Union Pacific and
many of the Eastern lines. Mr.. Fillmore
explained his refusal to grant their de-
mands as follows:
On the Union Pacific and on all the other
lines where 60 per cent. rate is allowed, the
engineers can earn less money than on the
Southern Pacific. 1t is fact that we pay
higher wages than any other road in the coun-
try, and this applies to all departments of the
service. The Union Pacific allows the firemen
60 per cent, but owing to the difference in
wages of engineers on the two systems our fire.
men earn more money at Sc per cent. than the
Union Pacific men.

to say that 10, 600 bushels of grain per day
Is taken out of the Palouse country. and

COMING SLOW BUT SURE.
The Burlington VIII Reach Sheridan,
Wyo., Before Winter.

The Burlington VIII Reach sheridan
Wyo., Before Winter.
According to reports the Burlington
railroad is slowly bat surely moving to-
ward the Coast. The Helena Independent
says that within the next thirty days the
road will have covered the distance be-
tween the Powder river and Sheridan, in
Wyoming, opening TO settlement most
fertile valley.
The road has been built within thirty
miles of Sheridan, and the railroad forces
are actively pushing toward the terminus
of the system. Sheridan is located at the
base of the Big Horn mountains. From
that point the road projects in a north
westerly direction, crossing into Montana
~ the Little Big Horn river. From there
two routes are laid out, one by way of
Billings and the other by way of Grey
cliffe, both passing through Castle and
White Sulphur Springs on the way to
Helena. The near approach Of the
season when work must cease
makes il almost certain that nothing will
be done beyond Sheridan this winter. But
next spring will no doubt witness \ revival
of operations. The Burlington managers
are very reticent as to their plans for the
future; but one thing Is certain, and that
is that the road would not have been built
into Northern Wyoming unless there was
some more thickly populated country and
some center of trade ike Helena in
sight. The Powder River valley il a
rich agricultural country. and now that it
Is pierced by railroad will no doubt fill
rapidly with settlers. Even the prospects
of building up rich agricultural COM
munity, however. would not induce a big
railroad to build through such long
stretch of unproductive country unless
there was something else in sight. That
something else is the live stock business of
Eastern Montana snd the products Of the
mines Ia and around Castle and near
Helena.
