LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 1.-two
corps of surveyors in the employ OF the
Southern Pacific Company are running a
line through Walkers Pass in the noun
tains north and east of Moiave, leading TO
the Ovens Lake region.
This is said to be the only unoccupied
mountain pass through which a railroad
could be built into this region from the
north, and lis possession will be con-
tested by the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe
and San Joaquin Valley roads. Each has
surveyed through the pass, but none has
yet taken possession.
Railroad men here profess to believe the

is being done at this season indicates some

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
afiluent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account aud
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
so frequently and SO ca, efully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-
sists of the luxuries and deli
cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue
and prices and note the variety
offered. Telephone us-24o.

not only manufactured of the pure and

their quality is best. If there was sus-
pection about it, trust an official exam

the result is not good our company
should be responsible for it. Beware

concerns, and wants to fix his mind on
something higher, is invited to conside,

made in the London Fortnightly Ite.
view, thatsom one on Mars is signalling
to earth. The information seems not
as yet to be very genertlly confirmed
by astronomical observers, but Sin
Francis is quoted as authority for the
report that in one of the European OBJ
servatories an apparatus has been de-
vised for recording the Martian flashes
and that the record shows that three
signals and no more are made, and that
they differ, rs all flash-light signals do,
in the length of the flashes and of the
intervals between, so that if we had the
key they might read like teiesraphio
messages.
Of course this is not yarn to be swal-
lowed whole, but the association of the
name of Sir Francis Galton with it Is
enough to entitle it to consideration.
There seems to be no intrinsic impossi"
bilty of our having relations with peo-
pie in Mars. 1t sounds preposterous. of
course, but, like other marvels, it
seems preposterous chiefly because it is
unusual. We have to nudge ourselves
from time to time in this age of swift
surprises, and remind ourselves that
nothing that is new to us can possibly
be more marvellous than many things
that have grown familiar.

Kept Quiet Ever After.

it has been stated that bank burglar
can so heat the walls of safe with an
electric current as to be able to get in
eide without waiting more than few
minutes. Certain laboratory expert
ments lend some sanction to such no.
tion, but electrical journals pooh-pooh
IL. 1t is much easier to talk about steal
ing electricity from live trolley and
lighting wires than it is to do it - that
is, with safety. The Electrical Engi-
neer, after pointing out some otherditfi-
culties in the way of such operations,
remarks that "men can take and have
taken the current from supply mains,
even more than is required for melting
through safes, though in numerous in
stances the parties maintained perfect
silence about it ever afterward."
