track, we do use some of them for fence
posts and some to kindle fires in locomo-
uves; some few we sell to farmers, and l
suppose we must save as much as 50 per
mile of road by doing so instead of burn
ing them up, which is the common way
of disposing of them. and is the manner
we get rid of our pine ties, and. by the
way, about one-third of the ties we use
are pine.
We also practice many other economics
not thought of in the Eastern States in
our struggle against adverse physical
conditions surrounding our operations.
An eminent railroad expert once said to
me, after spending some seven weeks in
thorough and critical examination OF
our lines. that from the great care and
economy he observed in the use of all our
materials, he was satisfied that we must
nave place somehere where we made
thlngs no longer useful for railroad pur-
poses into soap. and he wanted to see that
soap factory before he left us Redwood
tleS Go resist decay better than the oak,
cedar and chestnut ties, commonly used
IN the Western States. but they crush
uoWn under the rail, and on many of our
| lines are thus worn out in shorter time
than required for pine and fir ties to fail
by decay. by reason OF the softness OF
these ties their life on curves, of which
we have many, is shorter than on
straight track. Our ties are transported
long distances and are handled over a
good many times on their way from the
| forests on the northern coast OF
| this State via the ocean to point
of use. On general average the cost of
tie renewals is little more in California
than in the Mississippi Valley States.
The following figures corroborate this:

l should not fail to mention in this con-
nection that many Eastern roads running
over coal fields, and taking their coal sup
ply to locomotives from the mouth of the
mines, find it to their advantage to burn
screenings and coal slack, which is either
purchased at a low figure or in many
cases given to them by the mine-owners.
who are desirous of getting rid of this to
them unstable material; this slack going
into the fuel account, ton for ton, with
the good coal, while its cost is merely
nominal.
The average cost per mile run for fuel
for the Southern Pacific Company's lines
in California for the past five years aver
ages 2l.5 cents, which is from 10 10 % per
cent. higher than the total cost of running
q locomotive one mile on many Eastern
roads Including the expense of fuel, re-
pairs, service OF engine-men, oil, waste,
storage, etc.
COST OF MATERIALS.
The average cost of materials for rail-
way construction and maintenance is
generally higher in California than in the
Mississippi Valley. Pig iron suitable for
the manufacture of wheels and many
classes of castings used for rolling stock,
bridges, ETC., must come from the East.
and the handling charges laid down at
our machine shop here in Sacramen 20 in
crease the cost from thirty to forty per
cent. as compared with similar cost to
Eastern manufactures of railway SUD-

the cost of this material here more than
thirty per cent. higher in California than

Mr.. CURTIS ADDRESS.

For the industrial development of Cali
fornia railroads must be built and oper-
ated to traverse the sterile desert regions
and ascend over barren mountains, where
the expense cf operation is costly and
where no traffic can be furnished to con-
tribute toward the expense OF operation
and maintenance. The country along
nearly % per cent. of the Southern Pacific
lines in California furnishes no local traf-
fic to be carried. Railroad lines connect
ing the central basin region OF California
with other parts of the State, and with
adjoining States and Territories, must
cross high mountain ranges, where the
necessary cost of construction and MAIN
tenance of the roads is many times
greater than in the States East of the
Rocky Mountains. The railroad line of
the Southern Pacific connecting Northern
and Southern California crosses the Te-
hachapi Pass, at an elevation of 1000 feet:
the Soledad Pass, at an elevation OF j, 200
feet, passing through twenty-seven tun-
nels, one of them one and one-quarter
miles long; and between southern Cali
fornla and Arizona, the San Gorgonio
Pass, at an elevation of $500 feet The
line connecting California and Oregon
crosses Black Butte Pass at an elevation
of $500 feet, and the Siskiyou Mountains
at an elevation of 400 feet, and passes
through twelve tunnels. The Central Pa
cific line connecting California and Ne
uada crosses the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains at an elevation OF 1000 feet, passing
through seventeen tunnels and thirty
three miles OF snowsheds. The total rise
of strictly mountain grades on the rail-
roads operated by the Southern Pacific
Company in California is over $4,000 feet,
in q distance of q little over 500 miles, and
on the entire system west of Ogden and
FL Paso the total length of mountain
grades Is over 700 miles, and the total rise

A SLAVE TIME INCIDENT.
Death of Calvin Fairbank, Who
Attempted to Aid Slave to Es-
cape and Got Term in the
Penitentiary.

The death last week of Calvin Fair
bank, of Angelica, N. Y, who was
confined in the penitentiary of this
city in 1874, under sentence of fif-
teen years for slave stealing, and par
doned by Gov. Crittenden in 1s49, on
the petition of many citizens, includ-
ing Henry Clay, the United States
Senator, was the occasion for long
letter in the Com mercial- Gazette re-
lating all the particulars of the crime
and the prisoners experience while
undergoing punishment in the peni-
Tertiary. AS the article reflected on
the keeper of the penitentiary, who
at that time was Mr.. Newton Craig,
deceased, one of the number warmly
interesting in procuring Fairbanks
pardon, the Lexington Obser-
yer, in a publication of an
article from the Boston Travel
Ter of September 81, 1s49, corrects
the injustice done to Mr.. Craig, who
as the Observer properly adds: "had
the reputation of being kind-heart-
ed man and deserved it,"

A NEW DISTILLERY.
The Benson Valley Distillery Com
pany, With 600, 900 Authorized
Capital Stock, Incor-
porated.

A new distillery company, with an
authorized capital stock of 800, 900,
of which $4,000 has already been
paid up, has been incorporated in
this city. The articles Of incorpora-
ton were filed with County Clerk
Smith on Saturday.
The name of the company will be
the Benson Valley Distilling Compa-
ny, which is authorized to continue
business for twenty-five years, and to
be managed by a board of not less
than three directors.
1t is the intention Of the company
to begin the erection of plant on the
land owned by Mr.. w. L. Collins, a
mile west Of the city, on the Louis
Vile & Nashville Railroad, where, it
is said by experts, that the finest wa
ter of this region, possessing the Pc
culiar properties for making the
whisky, which has given the State a
worldwide reputation, may be OBJ
tanned in abundance.

THE CONVICT PROBLEM.
A Bill to be Prepared That Will
Probably Settle the States
Great Bugbear.
The Mason-Foard Co.

The convict problem for the State
has about been settled. The Mason
Foard Co. refused to renew their
lease on the same terms and the
Sinking Fund Commissioners de-
clined to make a new lease on the
modified terms proposed by the COM
pany. A resolution offered by Attor-
ney General Hendrick to work the
convicts out on the county roads
was adopted and recommended by
the Board to the Legislature, as we'll
as one presented by Auditor Norman
for the feeding, clothing and guard
ing of the convicts at the States ex-
pense and the leasing of the labor
only by shops or gangs to few or
many contractors who will put up
their own machinery. The joint
committee on Wednesday, having all
the recommendation of the Sinking
Fund Commissioners before them,
unanimously voted in favor of a bill
to be prepared at once, incorporating
the suggestions of the Auditors
resolution. This plan, it is believed,
will provide the remedy for the evils
which have been in the past, whether
Justly or unjustly, imputed to the
lessee system. 1t will cause the
States officers to be responsible
for the feeding, clothing and guard
ing Of the prisoners, save the State
from the necessity now to make a
heavy out lay for machinery, about
balance the cost with the income, and
by leasing the labor in shops or
gangs, diversity the manufactures
to such an extent as to virtually put
at rest the old cry of the competition
of convict with free labor. What the
Masou-Foard Co. intend to do with
their immense plant has not been
learned. 1t is known, however, that
they have offers of a large bonus in
Capital, grounds and tax exemption
from Chattanooga, Tenn, and
Raleigh, N. c., but whether they will
accept either is matter which the
future will determine. 1t would be a
serious loss to this city if they should
conclude to leave, and it is hoped
that they will yet see their way clear
to remain.
