Malignant CaIifornians

In its last issue, in commenting on the
recent action of Congress on the Reilly
funding bill, the Age says:
1.-THE Pacific Railroad funding bill
was recommitted to the committee on Pa
cific railroads in the House on February
I'd by a vote of III to los, showing an I'M
expectedly large majority against the
measure. The debate was of a brisk
character. Only three of the eighteen
sections of the bill had been read when
the hour for taking the vote arrived.
But the substantial amendment to pre-
vent the payment of dividends on the
stock until the government debt should
have been fully discharged was adopted.
Mr.. Boatner's substitute to forclose the
governments mortgage in case of default
was cut out by parliamentary maneuver,
SO that when the voting began in the
House he moved to recommit the bill,
a motion equivalent to its direct defeat.
The malignant anti-railway element of
California is delighted, but reasonable
plan for securing the government claims
against the Pacific roads has been de-
feated and nothing is offered to take its
place.
If the editor of the Railway Age had
said anti-Southern Pacific element and
lett off the malignant, he would have
been correct, for the people of Southern
California were delighted over the defeat
of the bill and had right to be. AS to
California being anti-railroad, the re-
cent raising of over -, 600, 600 i'll San Fran
cisco alone to build railroad from that
city to Los Angeles is sufficient answer.
The Railroad Age being a recognized
authority among railroad men the world
over, shonld be sure of it's facts before
calling Californians malignant for rejoic-
ing over a well-earned victory.

ORANGES AND APPLES
Their Origin and Development According to

Their Origin and Development According to
DR.. Davidson
The Southern California Science Asso-
citation held its regular monthly meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce Hall on
Tuesday evening. The paper of the even
ing, The Origin of California Fruit Trees,
was contributed by DIR. A. Davidson. 1t
was listened to with great interest and
brought out some novel facts. OF course,
much space was devoted to a considera-
golden apple of the classics. The bitter
orange originated in China, and by cult
walton it developed into the sweet orange
of India. But it reached its highest per-
lection in the south of Europe. The
navel orange is a union of the sweet and
bitter, the latter being the undeveloped
fruit at the navel. An interesting variety
Duarte, by skillful grating or budding.
He took two buds of different but excellent
varieties, and dividing each bud in the
center united the varieties in the graft,
with the good results mentioned.
DIR. Davidson is a believer in the lost
Atlantis. He thinks that valuable cereal
wheat was introduced ito both the East
ern and Western continents from that
mythical land. While most of the horti-
cultural fruits, as the apple, pear, peach,
apricot, Plum cherry, grape, etc, origin
ated in Western Asia, the garden fruits.
like the melon, pumpkin and squash, are
indigenous to:America.

CHAPMAN'S GOAT
II Was Killed by Hexican to Tride fo
Sour Wine

Sour Wine
Jose Murillo was placed in the county
jail yesterday afternoon to answer a charge
ofgrand larceny. On the 31st of last
month Murillo, who resides at Calabasas,
was in festive mood, but his money had
given out, though his thirst was still
with him. He didn't know what to do
until he espied Farmer J. J. Chapman S
big goat chewing tomato cans.
Going up to the animal he just cut its
throat, and dressed it on the spot, after
which he packed the heavy nanny on his
back mile to the place of W. II. Elliott,
where he tried very hard to trade it for
lot OF sour wine. In this he was unsuc-
cessful and he then proceeded on to his
his place, where he made preparations to
eat the goat. Before he had completed
the contract he was nabbed by the con-
stable with the major part of the animal
still unconsumed.
'Muy borracho, but Justice Richardson
was of opinion that man who can pack a
heavy goat a mile and keep a straight
track is not so drunk but he knows what
he is about.

The Baby's Trial Trips

The Southern Pacific owns the two larg
est engines in the world and one of them
can be seen at the roundhouse of the COM
pany at River Station, as it is to remain
here to haul freight trains over Tehachapi
mountain The other engine went to Sac
ramento to work over the Sierras. No
adequate idea OF these colossal pieces of
machinery can be formed by the mere
reading of figures. They are truly things
that must be seen to be appreciated.
The engine left here is numbered 2010,
and has been nicknamed 1.-THE Baby"
1t made its trial trip yesterday morning
down to Santa Monica empty and return
ing with forty carloads of coal, load of
800 tons, which it pulled with perfect
ease. On the trip down the engine
cheated" little, but that was expected,
as she is brand new, having reached here
only day or two ago from Schenectady,
n. Y, where she and her sister were
built.
In addition to the size and weight the
engines are up to date in every respect
and not an improvement in locomotive
building is missing. To the average
reader the engine is best described by
saying it is as big as a house.. and this
is no exaggeration. For the edification of
mechanics and others who understand the
technical terms and measurements, the
following facts are given:
The 2O1O is a 12-wheeler, the weight on
the drivers being So tons, weight of en-
CINE 95 tons and weight of engine and
tank 125 tons. Her cylinders are 22x26
inches, the boiler 70 inches in diameter
and the average steam pressure is 1870
pounds. The hauling power of the new
engine is as yet unknown but it is ex-
pected she will be able to mount Teha-
chepi with fifteen loads with ease. The
heaviest engines on the road heretofore
have not been able to pull over nine loads
up the grade. On the level the railroad
men say the baby ought to pull train
OF cars a mile long The baby will be
put to work regularly the last of the
