FAIL TO TURN DOWN THE GAS.
An Alleged Cause Found for Many of
the Recent Fires.

One noticeable effect in the passing away
of the late cold snap is the large number
of fires which have broken out in the last
few days. People leave their houses WITH
out turning down the gas valves. and when
the pressure increases the stoves become
overhea ted and considerable damage is
done. The fire department believes that
several Of the recent fires can be traced
back to this cause.
Yesterday evening the double frame house
at 2l9-221 West Michigan street caught fire
from en- overheated stove. Fortunately the
fire was discovered and an alarm turned in
before ii had gained much Roadway. The
loss is estimated at less than $50.

The 8. p. Causing Trouble.

Western roads have found fresh cause for
complaint against the Southern Pacific In
consequence threats OF a war in California
rates are being hurled around with the
greatest vigor. The trouble arises out of the
discovery that the Southern Pacific Is ne
gotiating for the transportation of a large
party of settlers from Philadelphia to Col
orado at a greatly reduced rate. 1t pro-
poses to convey them by the Morsan-,ine
steamers to Galveston and then carry them
over the Sunset route and the Denver x
Gulf to destination.
Trunk-line Association roads have Doti-
fled the Southern Pacific that they viii no
longer pay IL commissions on the lmmi-
grant business ii turns over TO them. This
Will indirectly be of great assistance to the
Western immigration Clearing House. The
Southern Pacific has a number of European
agencies working on immigrant business
for its Sunset route. It's interests in this
direction all antagonistic TO those of
the Western Immigrant Clearing House. Ii
has had to employ agents of its own in
Europe to pay commissions which will
compete with those of the Southern Pa
c.fc. The trunk lines have up to now shared
the payment of the Southern Pacific's COM
mission. because they get the first part of
the haul after the business arrives in this
country. BY their refusal to do any
longer the whole burden of the support of
the European agencies will be thrown on
the Southern Pacific, and IL will be less
able to compete with the Western roads
than IL was before.

CAR WORKS VERY BUSY
PROSPECT THAT 10000 NEW CARS
WILL BE BUILT THIS YEAR.
An Expert on Electric Mofors-The
n Small Deficit for the 4. &v.

Since Feb 1 orders have been placed with
the various car works for over 1900 new
cars, and in January numerous orders were
placed, so that at present the car works
are well employed: in fact, better than at
any time since 1893. The Ohio Falls car
works at Jeffersonvle are building lot
OF cars for the Denver g. Rio Grande and
the Southern railways; the Terre Haute car
works are building cars for two Western
lines; the Haskell e. Barker works,
at Michigan City, are building 500
cars for the Chicago & Northwestern;
the Indiana Car and Foundry works
OF this city are still at work on go
box cars for the Pennsylvania Company.
The Railroad Gazette figures out that there
are now under contract 10000 or more cars.
and says: Twenty thousand cars is
large amount OF equipment to be contracted
for in two winter months. Car builders
themselves may say that their shops have
a capacity for a much larger number. but
as these orders have been pretty well dis
tributed. there must be few shops which are
not more busy than for several years past.
At any rate. prosperity and profits are
reached long before the capacity OF pro-
duction is taxed. The prosperity OF the car
building industry Is a quite important fact
IN the business health OF the Nation. Ac-
tivty In 1t means prosperity TO a great
number OF people. Few industries have
so many lines OF business dependent
on their condition as car building has.
The lumber dealer, the manufacturer
OF couplers, brakes and brake beams, the
foundries. and a host of others, are all
active when the car builder Is busy. and
languish when he Is idle. Car building Is
now in very healthy condition, and prom
seems TO be nothing TO interfere with its
continued prosperity. Our annual summa-
res OF car building have shown only $1,000
cars built i'm 1895, only 1900 in 1894 and 81. 900
In 1893 The latter figure must be below the
normal annual requirements for new cars.
With orders for nearly half that number
already given out, there seems much like
lihood OF a larger number OF cars than $1,000
being built this year"

Enst-Bound Shipments.

Heavy snowstorms in the East last week
interfered very materially with the freight
traffic of the roads out of Chicago, and
heavy reduction in shipments was the con-
sequence The average for the week was
less than for any previous week for the
year.
Last weeks shipments footed up 1852
tons. as against H. 70 tons for the previous
week and 55,316 for the corresponding week
last year. Last weeks shipments were di-
v.ded up among the competing roads in
tons as follows: Michigan Central. 6,SSI;
Wabash 1895: Lake Shore. Sob: Fort
Wayne. 7,o23; Panhandle. 1872: Baltimore &
Ohio. SIG: Grand Trunk. 1872; Nickel
plate 4495; Erie, s,565; Big Four. 1853.
Through shipments of grain, flour and pro-
visions from Chicago and junction points
TO the seaboard amounted to $3.50 tons
against 1851 tons for the previous week
and 5l.616 tons for the corresponding week
last year. The percentage carried by each
road last week follows: Baltimore
& Ohio, So: Big Four. rs; Erie, 12.2; Grand
Trunk. T.; Lake Shore, 10; Michigan Cen
trail 1876; Nickel-plate. S4; Panhandle, 80;

Electric Motors.

One of the foremost mechanics in the en-
ploy of the Pennsylvania Company is quoted
as saying. when speaking about electric
motors, that the great weight of the new
machines, in proportion TO their speed and
pulling capacity, is their most serious dis
advantage. a seventy-five-ton steam loco
motive would be really dangerous weight
to push over anything but the best con-
structed road at high rate of speed. The
eighty-ton locomotives of 1.-THE Pittsburg
Junction railroad will haul sixty loaded
cars, representing total of nearly $4,000
tons. up q twenty-foot-to-a-mile grade at
speed of fifteen miles an hour
The electricians would not agree TO
construct an eighty-ton electric engine
guaranteed to do the same work.
One of the disadvantages that the
electric people must contend with in the
start is the absence of power on lines of
railway now operating with steam. What
| mean by the absence of power is the fact
that trolleys and immense and costly power
houses must be erected before electric en-
gines can be given a fair trial. The West
inghouse people are pursuing the wisest plan
in testing their new machine on private
track where its pulling capacity and speed
can be determined. After liz is demonstrated
that the electric motor IS capable of doing
the work of a steam locomotive, then the
question of its relative economical merit, as
well as it's durability and reliability, must
ne considered.

SPARS OF WASHINGTON FIR.
In Spite of tho Fact That They Ar,
Called Oregon Pine.

In Spite of tho Fact That They Are
Called Oregon Pine.
Puget sound timber goes everywhere,
even into the masts of the fleet yachts
made by both America and England to
race for the Americas cup. But the
point of most interest to the people Of
this region is that the great spars Of
noble Douglas fir shipped from this re-
gion, as soon as they pass beyond the
state line, have fastened upon them the
name of "Oregon pine" The spars
from which the masts of the Defender
and the Vallyrie have been made were
cut in Sol Simpsons logging camp at
Kami;chie, Wash, and afterward
shipped from Port Blakeley.
Washington annually sends out at
least 100 vessels, timber laden, in every
direction, all the way from Corea to
Australia and the Hawaiian islands,
and even to the Kimberly diamond
mines and the Johannesburg gold
mines, in Africa. 1t is stated that the
flag of the emperor of Japan flies from
stick of Puget sound timber, and it
is known positively that the flagstaff
on Windsor castle, from which waves
the union jack in the daily view of
Queen Victoria, is a Douglas fir from
Puget sound-a Yankee contribution to
the furniture of the monarch of the
British isles. Tt is also true that the
largest flagstaff in Maine, the Pine Tree
state, is at Lewiston, and it came from
Puget sound. Nor is it a remarkable
piece of timber, as one comes to think
who lives in Washington. It is all the
{ Douglas fir, yet it is known abroad as
Oregon pine. = Seattle Post-Intelli-
