A relic of ancient times, mute reminder
of the days when San Francisco depended
upon volunteers for protection against
fires, is the old hosecart recently discov-

Southern Pacific Company.

The hose is nearly $50 feet long and is
made of leather, resembling that used for
soling shoes, and is copper-riveted through
out its entire length. Loops of leather
riveted on every few feet throughout its
length serve as handholds for the fremen
to move it easily, as the nozzlemen re-
quired. 1t was made by Cook & Sons,
manufacturers of leather hose, and III. B.

AN EXCELLENT RECORD.
Out of Nearly Twenty Thousand Letters
Handled Only One Missent.


Handled Only One Missent.
One letter missent to 19, ALL pieces prop
erly dispatched. This is the remarkable
record of the clerks of the eighth division
of the Railway Mail Service, and has called
for letter of commendation from the au-
tn critics at Washington.
To acquire this proficiency has taken
months and years of practice and study on
the part of the railway postal clerks and
has helped in no small degree to improve
the efficiency of the service. Another
feature is that this record was made not by
men who had plenty of time to carefully
case each letter, but principally by men on
long runs, where a twenty-hour watch is
not uncommon, such as the Ogden and
San Francisco and Albuquerque and Los
Angeles runs.
To Superintendent Flint also is due much
of the credit, for this record shows that
the local head of the system must have
watched each man carefully to prevent
any idle or careless work.
