THE PASSING OF. STEAM LocoMorroN

The locomotive, as we have known it
so long, is about to follow the clipper
ship into the shades of 'innocuous desue-
tude." The economy and adaptabilty of
electricity for railroad motive power is be-
ing gradually recognized by the men who
manage the railways. All over the United
States and in many parts OF Europe. sub
urban railroads operated by electricity are
competing with the established steam
lines in the carriage OF passengers and
freight, and they are rapidly getting away
with the traffic because of their superior
cheapness, reliability and cleanliness.
Trunk lines like the Baltimore an d Ohio,
the Pennsylvania. the New York, New
Haven and Hartford, and the New York
Central are seriously considering the
adoption of electrical power. The Balti-
more and Ohio is actually getting ready
to utilize 1t on the stretch from Balti-
more to Washington, and the great En-
pire Central on the line from Buffalo to
Niagara Falls. The effects of this nnova-
tion upon the future OF the great trans
portation facilities of the world are be-
yond estimate. Not only does it mean
the cheapening of railroad service, but
also the latters extension into limits and
communities heretofore unattainable be-
cause of either physical difficulties or in
convenences. Cities that have always
barred the progress of the Iron horse"
at their frontier on account of the noise,
dit, danger and all-round unpleasantness
that seems inseparable from steam rail-
roads, will very probably hereafte.' freely
admit to at least their business and un-
important residence districts. carrying
system so free from Objectionable features
as electrical evolution is bound to furn'
ish. This ability to go direct from the
point of embarkatien to that of delivery
will expedite beyond calculation the ex-
changes of trade, and solve some of the
most annoying and expensive problems
in the fields OF commerce.

The city council of Prescott has now
under cons deration a proposition pre-

The water question is one OF the most
serious ones which confron 5 the city
government. The expense of that insti-
tuition to the city last year amounted to
about $6600, exclusive of the interest on
the water bonds. while the income de-
rived from them amounted to only about
$1,000, leaving net deficit in round num-
bers of $1,000. The water works, as mat
city's present inG Gebtedness, as aside from
the water bonds, the city owes only few
thousand dollars.

off the city they agree to furnish w ter

privilege of purchasing the enlarged
works at valuation to be agreed upon

are instrumental in the suit against the

little consequence whether the parties in

Attorney Donnell are meddlesome or not.
If their allegations are correct and can
so be shown, he should be adequately
punished; and if they are false the officer
should be speedily given the benefit of
an unbiased acquit.al. The question at
issue is not the motives of the complaint
so much as the veracity of the prayer.

OUR PROGRESSIVE NEIdHBoRs

One of the most encouraging signs OF
the day, and reliable indica tion OF the
general development OF Southern Califor-
MIA is to be found in the pronounced
activity and improvement of the smaller
cities and towns south of Tehachepi. 1t
is safe to say that in every community of
any degree OF consequence there has been
big percentage of increase in popula-
tion and building during the past year or
two; and in several places industrial en-
terprises and financial undertakings have
been started or are about to be. Readers
OF The Herald's Southern California cor
respondence cannot have failed to observe
these facts. No better index to the settle
ment and cultivation of the country need
be sought. Every store established, every
bank opened. every anvil set up, means
the location of more farmers and fruit
growers, the seeuing of more acres and
the planting of more trees. Smaller towns
do not grow and prosper except with and
in proportion to the development OF the
coantry adjacent. A notable instance of
the enterprise that is distinguishing our
lesser sisters is furnished by Ontario, one
of the brightestssand most substantial
burgs in the ssNts. sThe work. of con
structing an els&HA Ahe has just com
menced. This Iisw street railway will
take the place of the gravity line, nov
city in street railway transportation that
has helped to- widely advertise Ontario.
The route wih be over Euclid avenue,
thoroughfare that Tor beauty and width is
not frequently surpassed il California.
Probably no other community of similar
size on the Pacific coast will possess SO
modern street railway service. But On
tario is product of enterprise and cour-
age, and this little step in advance OF her
degree is entirely in keeping with the
spirit that created her. 1t is only about

as it is thought that there was an error
in tallying the ballots for assessor. AS
the returns show difference of only one

to change the result.
