SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RAILWAY.
The State Board of Equalization
Hears 1t.
Its Representative shows How Much
Its Business Earnings Have
Shrunk Lately.

The Southern California Railway Com
pany. through Godfrey Holterhoff. Jr.,
Treasurer and Assistant Secretary, ap-
peared before the State Board of Equaliza-
ton yesterday in relation to the assess
ment for the present year.
He stated that the figures of the roads
business for 1898 show a decrease of 33 per
cent. in the net surplus. The earnings
for the first six months in the year of a
road are generally 20 per cent. greater
than the last six. This year the first six
months show a decrease OF SI20,61 IL, or
about 10 per cent. Although there was a
slight increase in gross receipts. owing to
the Worlds Fair business, there was
really loss on that business, through
carrying exhibits free, which will benefit
the State at large through making its re-
sources known, although it was an actual
loss to the road. Nor were the low pas
senger rates remunerative.
There was a general decrease in the
earnings of the carrying business of the
road in 1898. 1t appeared from the fig
ures that there was deficit in operations
Tor the last six months of $34 2l2 81, or
l3l per cent, and for the year 1894 net
deficiency of Sl37, ,326 rs, against surplus
OF SI37, ,S6l 16 in 1892 and s9l, ,725 26 ia 1898,
or decrease of ESQ per cent. in net reve-
nue. for 1894 over 1893 alone.
The Santa Ee road practically owns and
controls the road, which was r6organiZed
in 1889. AS the result of this reorganiza-
ton and the financial arrangements at
tendant on it, there is deficiency of
Sl37. 1923. The road cannot be considered
as ever being an Garner of money for the
stockholders absorbed in construction.
1t runs from Los Angeles to San Diego,
having branch running from the coast
near Oceanside, by way of San Bernar-
dino to Barstow, on the Atlantic and Pa
citic Railroad, having total mileage of
490.63, which includes about thirty miles
which was washed out III 1884 and has
never been rebuilt or operated. 1t was
assessed last year at So 6012 per mile for the
total mileage.
There is ten-mile branch from Engle
wood which is operated at an annual loss
Of 10 per cent. The readjustment OF as
sessment values in Los Angeles County,
which have been made in the past three
years, he thought his road should have
the benefit of as well as other property in
the county.
Mr.. Holterhof asked that the board
take into consideration the fact that the
assessment on the road had not been de-
creased when that on other property In
the same county was decreased, and the
assessment on it had also been increased
when that on other property was in
creased. The boom was over in Los An
geles County, and property is not worth
what il was in boom times

It Serves Those Right Who Encour-
aged Lawlessness.
When the so-called Populists and
others will be called on to pay heavier
taxes next year to meet the expense of
keeping the State troops in service for
upward of a month, they will probably
realize that they made a mistake in pat
ting the strikers on their back and urging
them to stand pat"
1t costs great deal Of money to keep
several thousand men in the field for sew
eral weeks, and. of course, the people
have to make it up in increased taxation.
1t is also costing the Government a
nice sum Tor Deputy Marshals. The en-
ployment of SO many caused by the
strike will cost about $4,000 in this State
alone, perhaps $4,000. In the Northern
District over 100 extra deputies were
sworn in, and these will each receive 81 a
day. They have been obliged, however,
to pay their own expenses, and these will
not be made good by the Government.
In the Southern District OF the State
more than twice as many were hired.
This was necessary because of the alb
sence for long while of the militia in
that section.
Just how long the employment of these
deputies will be necessary the authorities
are not prepared to state. Every train
that carries mails is guarded by two of
them now, but the opinion prevails that
in 8 week the Marshal will be able 10
withdraw this protection.

OPEN 10 THE DEPOT.

The Regulars Removed a Short Dis
tance and Sentries Withdrawn.
Colonel Graham has removed his troops
from the railroad depot to the rear of the
roundhouse. where a more comfortable
camp will be arranged for the men. The
latter have been sleeping on the hard as
phalt floor OF the depot for nearly four
weeks.
The sentry lines have been removed
from Second street, so that people may
now go to and from the depot without
trouble. There viii, of course, be guard
about the shops and yards as usual.
SO great was the interest shown in the
cavalry drill at Agricultural Park on
Thursday that Colonel Graham has de-
cided TO have another shortly, when some
new features viii be introduced. These
win include fancy tactics, bareback rid
ing. etc

inst above the elbow and brought upward
to the shoulder seam, where Il = sewed in.
The waist can be finished with draped
belt, or it can DO plain and have piping.

Skirts for girls Of these ages are usually
perfectly plain and gathered either to
band or sewed to the dress. This is
by far the better way. For gathering
these skirts the old manner of gauging
them is considered the neatest. This is
done by turning doYn the edge and tax
ing long even stitches with a thick thread
that must not show on the outer side
Sometimes three gauging threads are set
half an inch apart and the stitches set ex-
actly opposite each other, which gives
them fluted appearance. To sew gagged
skirt to the waist, take one stitch in the
outer portion Of each fold of the huted
edge and sew it tightly to the under edge
of the belt or waist
Making Straight Skirt.
In making a straight skirt the seams
should be clipped at a distance of q quar-
ter Of yard through the selvage and the
seam pressed apart. The hem must be
turned evenly and be neatly sewed, so that
the stitches do not show on the outside.
Straight skirts are worn by girls up to IS
and often afterward, but gored skirts are
not often put upon girls under Is. When
they are, they are the five gored," or
rather five pieced, for the two back breadths
are unite straight. The diagram shows
how they are to be placed When the ma
terial will admit Of it, the front and two
side breadths can be cut from one fold of
the cloth, one up and the other down. II
material 81 inches wide is employed, there
need be but two lengths, as the two back
pieces come from one and the three front
ones form the other when there is no nap
or figure.
Diagram represents the front breadth
doubled, the two side cores and 3 the
two back breadths They are to be basted
together, beginning all seams from the top,
and any irregularity comes at the bottom,
where it is to be trimmed off. The skirt
can be lined throughout and then faced up
with one thickness Of bias wigan, covered
in turn with alpaca or dress material, or
it may .be faced up only 1t is more salts
factory to line it and press all the seams
neatly. Then sew the facing around in a
seam and turn it upward leaving the dress
material little longer than the facing.
Basic this up firmly and press it well be-
fore catstitching the facing down. The
pressing Of the facing at this stage brings
it solidly into the right position, and it

will never wrinkle or sag. The skirt
should not be too stiff nor yet too cling
Ing. One thickness Of wigan and the fac
ing will be enough. No braid is required
as long as the dress does not reach the
ground. The cores should be two-thirds
larger ON the bottom than the top.
How to Make Waists.
When girls begin to don half long skirts
regularly made waists are in order. Their
figures being yet uniformed, the waist
must be cut with direct reference to that
fact, and the diagram showing a model
for all sorts of waists and basques as well
as princess gowns and tight coats will
show at glance just where the benefit is
Fig. l shows the back lining, Fig. Q the
side back, the side front and the front
The measurements are to be taken in the
same manner as described above and the
lining fitted in the same way after the
pattern is drafted, but the dressmaker
must take particular notice of the darts,
which, it will be observed, arc rounded
slightly on one side and much on the 9TH
or, while the opposite sides of the darts arc
cut quite straight. This gives grace to
uniformed figures that could not be given
Ill any QUIET WAY anu bIlc VI Vic ScCIctS
of Worths success in making gowns for
too slender figures. When the lining fits,
the outside is to be cut and basted firmly
all around every seam, and tho outside
material is to be held a little snugger than
the lining, that it may not wrinkle. The
seams are to be sewed from the top always
and great care should be taken to get the
side back pieces in without pulling or
wrinkling
This model is the sure foundation of a
perfect waist. 1t can be cut off at the
waist line If desired, and by carrying the
lines on downward it can be heightened
into a princess dress. The same shape is
suitable for habit basque. 1t is the basis
and model for all tight wasted gowns for
the young and slender. There is no sleeve
added, as sleeves are matters of personal
taste. Tho proper collar is the rather high
choker. Any Kind or style of trimming or
drapery can be added to the basque or
waist. To finish it, all seams are to be
trimmed neatly and bound with dress
makers tape. and then they should be well
pressed apart. Bone castings are to be run
In all seams except the side back, and
rather flexible bones set in. The fronts
should be finished of with hooks and eyes
or buttons, and the collar made and put
ON, the ease belt set in and the lower edge
trimmed of and faced or piped, and the
sleeves made and sewsd in. 1t should re-
ceivc then a final pressing, and three large
hooks should b. sewed to the ease belt to
fastcn to - many eyes on the skirt band
10 support It from the shoulders and keep
V from sagging
FOR Princess Dress.
II the model Is to be used to cut prin-
cess dress, the back breadths should be
left square from tho waist line on both
sides Of the back pieces, so as to fold in for
additional fullncss in the back Of the skirt.
All the rest Of the pieces can be sloped
