WILLIAM EDWARD BUSHNELL, PIONEER PILOT.


There was deposited last week among
the archives of the secretary of the Society
OF California Pioneers a magnificently
bound and profusely illustrated volume of
800 pages. 1t is entitled: ''Marine History
OF the Pacific Northwest. On the title
page is this inscription: Presented 10 the
Society of California Pioneers by their
brother argonaut, Captain William E.
Bushnell. This gift will commemorate
Monday, November 5, 1s49, when as pilot
l took the steamer Senator on her first trip
up the Sacramento River forty-six years
ago."
Apart from the intrinsic value of the
work the members of the association
prize it as a gift from one of the most
highly respected and popular OF their fra
ternity. His career on the inland waters
of the Pacific Coast for nearly two and a
half decades is replete with incidents of
thrilling character. During this long pc
Rod he has been almost continuously
pilot and not infreouently commander OF
steam vessels plying on the bays and main
estuaries adjacent thereto. Through storm
and tempest, through impenetrable fog
and zimmerman darkness has he stood with
eagle eye on compass and sinewy arm on
wheel, fearlessiy and unfalteringly steer
ing his craft along the tortuous stream
over treacherous shoals and between hid
den rocks safely to the destined haven.
The subject OF this sketch was a born
navigator. His father, Francis w. Bush
nell, master mariner, made his home

ELECTRIC RAPID TRANSIT.

Only q Matter Of Time Until These
Roads Will Gridiron the Country.
The whole plan is so entirely practical
that it is only matter of time when such
roads will be established between all i'm
portant points. The substitution of the
electric motor and special devices for fast
travel may be delayed by the managers OF
steam railways. whose business will be in
jured thereby but the change has got to
come. Present methods are not in keep
ing with the progressive science of the
weight for every passenger they trans
port. where only 400 pounds are re-
quired with the new system. The
slaughter of people by crossing roads
built at grade on the surface must be
stopped, and this is one way to avoid 1t.
Why should the mails occupy twenty
four hours in transit between New York
and Chicago, when the distance can be
covered in eight hours2 Why should
passengers be bothered with sleeping
car accommodations to make a journey
that can be ACCOMPLISHED within the short
hours that now constitute a legal working
day?
In the Brott system locomotives are dis.
pensed with. The motors are on the axles,
under the cars. Hence it is possible to
dispense with the mighty locomotive, that
has to be made nearly as heavy as the
whole train in order to secure proper hold
upon the track. Now that ocean steamers
have so closely approached railroad speed,
it is high time that the land roads forged
ahead before designers OF water craft catch
