Charley Bray Wins.

In the Supreme Court at Boise
last Wednesday, in the case of
Charles Bray, respondent, VS.. the
Gilmore County Irrigation Com
pany, appellant, the judgment of
the Fourth District Court was sus-
tanned. The lower court gave Mr..
Bray a judgment for $500 for failure
to supply water for his crops during
the season of 1892. 1t was claimed
on appeal that Judge Stockslager
should have sustained a demurrer
that was offered, and, again, that
the judgment was not sustained by
the pleadings. The Supreme Court
says there is nothing in either con-
tention.

CHANGE IN LOCOMOTIVE FORCE.

a most remarka bic change IN the pro-
duction OF locomotive force was dis.
cussed few days ago ut meeting Of
railroad officials held In Pittsburg for
the purpose OF considering the intro
ductiOn Of clmtrO-mOtive power to sup
plant the use OF steam on the l'ennsyl-
vania Railroad system, 1t was shown
that while the last few years have wit
messed an extraordinary development
IN the construction of electric railway
apparatus, In generators, motors.
methods of distribution. etc. there still
remains one thing to be done to make
the electric motor u complete and sat
isfactory substitute for the steam loco
motive. THIS zone thing needfur' In
the railroad work of the future Is the
gas engine, ana II Is particularly desir'
able to introduce II on the score Of econ
Omy. II IL u wonderful fuel saver. IL
was stated that u locomotive consumes
on the average eight times rs much
coal as would be required to operate u
properly constructed gas engine to do
the same amount of work. Hence the
substitution of one for the other would
give vast saving In cost. The pres
ent consumption of coal Oh the Penn
sylyania lines Is from i've to six million
tons per annum. The four million tons
which would be saved by the use of the
gas engine cost the company more than
i've billion dollars, and 1t Is claimed
that this difference would justify the
pxnpnliture of n sufficient amount OF
capital to completely equip the lines
for the new kind of motor service. II
was pointed ont that the electric loco
motive adopted on the new plan would

one. Tho hauling OF twenty-five to
