NEW PASSENGER ENGINES.

The Southern Pacific Company Orders
Number for Mountain Service.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 30.-The South
ern Pacific Railroad to-day sent requi-
sition in to New York for twenty-one
new engines, all of mammoth design,
and which will be used in the passenger
service in the Tehachapi, Sierra Nevada
and Siskiyou Mountain regions. The
estimated cost of these engines is about
S250, 200, and they will embrace in their
construction all the recently invented
features in locomotive construction
which have been made. The principal
object kept in view in designing these
monsters has been to secure the greatest
amount OF power and speed combined.
The officials of the Southern Pacific
have determined to reduce the time in its
direct Eastern line as much as possible.
These engines were designed for that pur-
pose. Just what reduction can be made
in Schedule time cannot be determined
until the new engines have been placed
into service. 1t is supposed, however.
that this will be very material.
Vice-President Crocker said that the
present was thought to be propitions
time for purchasing needed motive
power. Rolling stock of all kinds is cheap.
Engines, cars, ETC., are being constructed
at cheaper figure than ever before, and
it was thought that a better time could
not be selected for making required pur-
chases.
The engines are what are known as the
ten wheel type, and will have maxi
mum speed capacity of sixty miles per
hour.

The WoIcott Falls to Find Any Trace
of the Schooner Mary Brown.
PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. 30.-The United
States revenue cutter Wolcott returned
this morning from a cruise along the
west coast of Vancouver Island, as far
north as Clayquot Sound, after an unsuc-
cessfuI search for the wreck of the sealing
schooner Mary Brown, which sailed
from Sand Point, Alaska, for San Fran
cisco, last October.
Clayquot Sound is the general head
quarters of the northern Indians, who
congregate there from all points OF South
east Alaska and Vancouver Island, pre-
paratory to going on the sailing vessels.
None of the Indians had any news of re-
cent wrecks of vessels. The belief pre-
walls among the revenue officials that the
Mary Brown was lost above Sitka, as it is
now certain that the disaster did not oc-
cur this side of that point.

NO MORE RATE WAR.
Railroads Tapping Puget sound Sign /.
Treaty of Peace.

Treaty of Peace.
SEATTLE (Wash.), Jan. 30.-The three
transcontinental railroads which tap the
Puget Sound country have signed treaty
of peace and formed an alliance to last
one wear from February 1st. There are
to be no more rate wars, and no more
competing lines are to be built. The
PARTIES to do it are the Canadian Pacific,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
Each party has the right of terminating
it by three months notice, and renewal
at the end of the year, all parties consent
ing.
Both the Great Northern and Canadian
Pacific will have through line between
their Eastern terminals and Tacoma and
Portland, in connection with the North
ern Pacific. and finally the Northern Pa
cific will have through line over the
Great Northern coast lines and Canadian
Pacific to and from Vancouver. b. q.
Under this contract each road agrees to
haul passengers or freight of either of the
others on certain division of the through
rate. such party selling the tickets and
ouoting freight rates over the other lines
for business originating on its own line.
Each road will have its agents selling
tickets and soliciting freight at the ter
minal of the others ana using ITS rivals,
lines to carry the business thus obtained.
This has disposed of the Canadian Pacific
differentials, and of rate-cutting, and re-
liavps all parties of the need OF depend
inc on steamer connection for reaching
anv point reached by any OF the three
roads.
This agreement puts an end to all pros
pect of construction of any competing
lines, for the next year at least.

What Allied the Watch.

A friend of mine used to say that watch
was good timepiece until the first time
that man had to take it to jeweler, and
then it should be thrown away.
His argument was that it would never
amount to anything as an accurate time
piece after it was returned by the jew
eler: that it would be source of expense
without giving satisfaction from that
time on.
The experience, modified somewhat by
the circumstances, illustrates the general
impression that the public have of
watches sent for repairs. That event.
marks the beginning of all trouble, un-
less, as in the present instance, the owner
is forgetful.
A prominent dry goods merchant of
the wholesale district not long since left
his watch. which needed cleaning, with
a jeweler. Several days later he called
for it, paid the bill of 50 and took it away.
A few weeks later there was again
something the matter with the watch.
The gentleman took it to the same jew
eler. and when he called for it the follow
ing week he was informed that the charge
was 81.
1.-The last time I habit put in order,"
said he, you charged me S3-S3 too much.
How do you explain these differences In
cost?n
Simply enough in this case," replied
the jeweler. ''1here was difference In
the Job. The last time the watch needed
cleaning-this time it only needed wind
ing and regulating"

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CLUB.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-A number of
County Commissioners to the Midwinter
Exposition and managers of exhibits
made by the different counties in the
State have organized themselves into the
California County Commissioners Club.
The object of the club is to promote
friendly feeling between the representa-
tives of the different counties and to pro-
mote satisfactory relations between them
and the Executive Committee OF the ex-
position.
The following officers have been elected:
President, Homer 2. Mckoon of San
Diego; First President, f. II. Buck
of Solano; Second ice-President, II. A.
Green of Monterey; Secretary, Mrs. Otto
Heiss of San Benito; Treasurer, f. A.
Foster of Ventura County.
The principal business thus far trans
acted has been the discussion of the ques-
ton as to how the awards shall be made.
A suggestion has been made by Professor
Emory Smith, Chief of the Department
of Horticulture and Agriculture, that
there shall be two classes of awards, one
made from commercial standpoint and
the other from a standpoint of quality
and scientific usefulness. From a scien-
tific standpoint it has been suggested that
the standard be 100 points, and those
which fall below seventy shall be de-
barred. The first award would be for
ninety or better, the second for better
than eighty, and the third for better than
seventy, the judges to be selected by ex-
hibitors interested, but the exhibitors
themselves not eligible.
A committee of three has been ap-
pointed to draft a constitution and by
laws. Another meeting will be held
Thursday evening in the Northern and
Central California building.
