HARBoR IMPROVEMENT
Civil Service Examination for Junior
Engineer October 25th

"a civil service examination for the
office of Junior engineer, in the depart
ment of engineering, will be held in Los
Angeles on the 25th inst All positions
in the engineer department at large are
in the classified service, and in ORDER to
become eligible for appointment it is
necessary for applicants to take the
examination for the position desired" J"
The above information was elected in
reply from the Office of the chief of en-
gineers, U. S. A., at Washington, in re-
sponse to the application of resident
of this city for employment as Junior
engineer or inspector on the proposed
harbor improvement work at San Pedro.
That the authorities seem to think
that the work will be proceeded with Is,
perhaps, indicated by the fact that an
examination is to be held. and further
by the closing sentence OF the letter,
which reads: ''It is not known whether
any additional positions will be created
in the San Francisco district, within
which San Pedro harbor lies, by reason
Of the proposed improvement Of that
harbOr."

IMPORTANT NEW ENTERPRISE
The Santa Fe-Pacific Railway COM

building tie-preservng works at Bel
mont station near Flagstaff, Ariz This
new enterprise, when completed, will
have cost $4,000, and viii employ con-
stantly a force of from forty to sixty
men. There are but four similar works in
the United States, and this is the only
one west of Chicago. The object is to
put the native pine ties used in railroad
construction through a process that
will lengthen their life 100 per cent. The
maximum life of a railroad tie is five
years, and after being put through the
preserving process they can be used ten
years. The new works are to be com
pleted by Dec. 1st when fifty men will
be placed on the company's pay rolls
there.

The Pittsburg Operators Have Decided
to Defy the Strikers.
Cleveland, Aug: l9.-Fhe operators
of 25 Pennsylvania coal mines held a
conference in this city today, at which
it was determined that mines in the
Pittsburg district should be started and
operated without delay, on the ground
that the miners have taken high
handed position; that nothing but an
unreasonable price for mining will sat-
isfy their demands; that they have
been unwilling to treat with the opera
tors ON any fair groundsi also that
there is no other course left open to the
operators at this time.
It was determined that all coal sold
on the 54-cent basis of mining this year
must be mined at this price. No
change in the price of mining will be
until the contracts made at
the 54-cent basis are filed and the uni
formity agreement is completed.
At least three-fourths of the tonnage
of the Pittsburg district was represent
ed at the conference, and all were
unanimous and agreed, if necessary, to
foroihly resume operations, with the

Woman Committing Suicide.
Oakland, Cal., Aug. 10. - Mabel
Crosby, who attempted to commit sul-
aide near Lamhertyille, n. j., few
days ago, is we'll known in California.
She is known here as Mrs. Pearl Price,
and threatening suicide is her profess
sion, Whenever she becomes fnan-
oially embarrassed, she permits some'
body to prevent her from committing
suicide. Then she takes up collection,
has herself photographed in living.
picture pose, and goes to another town,
In this way Mrs, Price has been quite
successful in gaining livelihood.
Mrs, Price used to be on the stage,
which gave her knowledge of elocu-
ton and effective posturing. Later on
she performed in circus, where she
gained a training that enables her to
take high dives into the water without
any danger of being drowned until some
one rescues her,
Last winter she aroused the SYM
pathies of the people of Haywards by
trying to hang herself, and secured
enough money to 60 to Los Angeles.
Then it was discovered that under the
name Of Crosby she had previously
PLAYED the same trick and taken up a
collection at Redding. Next she ap-
peared at New Orleans and leaped into
the Mississippi, but was rescued by a
fireman, and sympathetic people sent
her on to her starving children in New
York.

The fire is said to have been oc-

combustion in watts containing material
for lacquering. The cannery stood at
the end of Miller's dock, about half a
mile out on the tide fats. It was built

NEWS FROM THE NORTH.
The Steamer Queen Brings Word From
Dyea and Skaguay.

Victoria, Aug. l9.-The steamer
Queen arrived late tonight from the
north. According to Purser Carroll,
very few of the 500 men now camped
at Skaguay and Dyea will get over the
pass this winter.
Men started to build new trail, but
found that it would take 800 men three
weeks, and abandoned the idea. Prob
ably 800 men will get across in time
to start down the river.
A committee of 25 has been appointed
to keep order at Skaguay, J. Mckinney,
of Seattle, being elected chairman, and
w. j. sapparatas, OF New York, secre-
tary. Every thing is orderly, and men
in good health.
On August Z, the high tide drove
many campers back from the beach.
There is good road five miles from
the bay, and goods can be hauled in by
wagon that distance. After that the
trail is bad.
Men are locating lots at Skaguay, one
being sold for $500. Most Of the men
are preparing to winter at skagqay.
A packer from Portland lost eight
horses and packs, They fell down a
cliff 70 feet, the packer narrowly es
Gaping.
The report that the steamer Danube,
from this port, was seized at Dyea is
denied by the officers of the Queen.
Men who arrived from the North to-
night state that, although the Chilkoot
trail is the best one, miners are cen
tering at Skaguay. Goods can be
hauled oyer large part Of the Chill
koQt trail in wagons, and most Of the
rest of the way on pack-horses: About
two miles over the summit men have to
carry their goods:
The White pass trail is very bad and
horses have to be killed daily. ABOUT
two miles Of the trail Is corduroyed,
but still large portion of it is Doggy.
A few men are getting through, but
very slowly, horses being scarce. COM
