LOCAL RAILWAY PROJECTS.

u Y the construction OF the Valley Road during
~ the years of industrial depression and financial
- stringenCy, the managers OF that enterprise not
only accomplished a great work. but encouraged the
undertaking OF other railway enterprises in the State
The encouragement indeed, OF a substantial
character for if railway construction could be made
profitable in the hard times have just undergone
certain that good results to be expected of
such work that are fairly started upon new
era OF prosperity and business activity.
One of the evidences of coming railway construc-
ton is to be found in the reports concerning the long
projected road from Fresno to Monterey Definite
information is said to have been received that
tracts have been given for the construction of the
road from Monterey to HOLSTER, and semi official
authority is quoted for statement that the work of
building a wharf at Monterey will commence early
in December.
Good reasons exist for regarding these reports as
reliable 1t is known that all necessary rights of way
for the proposed road have been obtained through
San Bento County and it is announced that steps
have been taken toward getting he right of way
through Salinas Valley to Salinas. 1t is believed that
no great difficulty will be met in getting the required
right of way and the people along the line
guine the work of construction will begin shortly
after New Year.
Active work upon the proposed roa1 will be
other inducement to the managers of the Southern
Pacific to fulfill their long neglected pledges to
pete the connecting link in their. line OF railway
through the coast counties The rights of way
the existing gap in the line given years ago
upon a promise that the road would be undertaken
at once and pressed to speedy completion The
company however has played fast and loose with its
promises and the gap is still open 1t will be impos
sible. however, for the od-tme monopol to continue
this policy Of stagnaon in face of the competition it
will have in the routes, and that company also
may begin to display some activity in railway con-
struction before the coming year is ended.
The undertaking of the Fresno and Monterey road
which is connect the valley with the sea- will have
the effect of stimulating similar project in the
northern part of the State of connecting Humboldt
Bay with the interior There rich region of
try be opened up in that section of the State by
railroad builders, and that better times have
come and capital is seeking investment it is not likely
that the advantages of Northern California will be
overlooked, that enterprising capitalists will ig-
more the profits to be made by assisting in its develop
ment.

dead: instinctively as one bares the
head in the still city where friends ana
strangers lie sleeping under the bloom
of flowers, there is something inexora-
Bile about material progress. It's ad-
vance cannot be stopped by marple
shaft. and the most stately mauso-
Ieum can hardly more than stay II
briefly. In the end the grassy avenue
between the tombs becomes the paved
and noisy street. The dust OF those
who rest is removed. The marble smart
rears itself farther from the haunts OF
men. The mausoleum, stone by stone
is rebuiIded in another spot. San Fran
cisco has to face the problem Wnlch
sooner or later is met by every NUM-
cipaIity. and ever with single result.
When the interests of the quick clash
with the seeming interests OF the dead,
the quick prevail. After all, even from
a sentimental point of view, there are
two sides to the question Is 1t not
better that our loved ones shall be
placed in their final peace far from the
busy haunt away from the mart of
trade out of sight of the needless
passer-by? There is something incOn-
gruous in the presence Of a burial
ground where carts and cars go rafting
by. 1t should be where quiet reigns,
and if sentiment is to guard our dead
let it guard them against the trespass
of those whose summons has not yet
come. 1t seems to me a pity that any
more interments should be permitted
in the cemeteries about and beyond
which the city is growing. Their fate
is inevitable. Sooner or later they will
be abolished, md as this is so, why,
the sooner the better. There will be all
sorts of hindrances, but they will be
futile. A cemetery does not belong in
the center of population and it cannot
remain there Indefinitely. My personal
belief is that there should be no burial,
but that the body should by fire be re-
duced at once to its original elements,
rather than undergo the slow process
of decay, causing the danger of corrup-
ton to the earth and the air. Never
theless, burials will be continued for
many years., but at least they should
be conducted with a view to the pro-
lection of the living and proper respect
to the dead. This cannot be done while
the burial place infringes upon the
ground where press the feet of the hur-
rying, careless multitude.

A WARNING TO KICKERs.

A sad-eyed mule stood in the rain,
Tired was he and sick;
But against all proffered sympathy
He stubbornly did kick.
A cat came up to share his woes,
With NEW and gentle purr;
But she, alas! was soon transformed
Into fiddle strings and fur.
A yellow dog next offered to
His trials and troubles share;
And a moment later sausage meat
Was flying through the air.
Then little John, the farmers son,
Attempted, to his sorrow,
To drive him under shelter, but
His funeral is tomorrow.
A binding flash, an awful roar
He hadn't time to duck it;
No friendly lightning-rod was nigh
The mule he kicked the bucket.

A queer story comes out of Chicago
that women have decided that the silk
skirt must go. They reached this mo-
mentous decision at one of the con-
crosses which to the feminine soul Is
ever a joy. Similar congresses from
time to time decree that the corset is
an evil, the street sweeping dress a
menace to health and destructive of
cleanliness. Undoubtedly the women
are sincere at the moment, but they go
to their several homes, and the first
time they robe for a swell function
have an extra cinch taken in their cor
sets, even if to do so thew have to tie
the string to a bedpost. Also they do
not have the train shipped from the
condemned street raiment, but move
along the pave in trailing majesty,
clearing it of detritus as they go.
Therefore no fears need be felt for the
future of the silk skirt. Long will it's
delicately suggestive frou-frou continue
to charm. The silk skirt Is a delight
The plea that the noise of it racks the
nerves is born of envy. On the contrary
it soothes the ear. 1t is charged against
the garment that worshipers are dis
turbed, or the theater audience driven
to frenzy by the racket the tardy lady
makes upon entering. The lady her
self Is to blame. She has no business to
be tardy. Let the fault rest upon her
and not upon her innocent bedecking.
Civilization has not reached that stage
at which it can spare the simmer of
the visible skirt nor the silken rustic by
which it's presence is announced. The
proposed war would not only be fool
| iSh bIt useless Let the ladies get the
notion that the congregation notes the

Mormonism seems bent on hara-kiri. |
A few years ago the laws on the sub
ject became so strict and their enforce
ment so rigid that the Mormon shunted
his superfiuous wives into the back
ground and made pretense that he was
in a state of single married blessed
ness Then Utah was admitted as
State, and the followers of Brigham be-
lieved that they were beyond control.
They corraled the stray wives and set
up housekeeping on the old wholesale
plan. Outsiders were not aware Of this.
They thought that reform had been
genuine. Thus the polygamists waxed
bold, and not content with herding the
seasoned wives back to the domestic
pasture, laid in a stock of new ones.
When the time arrived for sending a
man to Congress they selected polyg-
amist whose latest wife was numbered
4 and who had blessed him with pair
of twins That his election was an in
suit to the nation, to the .decency OF It's
men and the purity of its women,
needs no saying. Therefore, will the
polygamist be denied a seat in the Con-
gress his presence would disgrace ana
attention be directed again to the
shameless condition of affairs In Utan.
In the end the erring people will be
| driven forth. They do not dovetau
with civilization. Their place is in the
wilderness, where they may be
statute unto themselves. They had
! chance to mend their ways and ignored
| it. Instead of laying aside the degrad-
| ing customs which make their religion
to be abhorred, they flaunt in the face
of an enlightened people a defiance OF
written and unwritten regulations.
Roberts will be refused a seat. So
should all of his kind. But as they will
decline to give up habits disgusting
and objectionable, in the end they will
seek another place. In this land, where
the integrity of the family relation is
| the cornerstone of society, they must
be-. so long as they remain, aliens and
| strangers.
Profound as. is human respect for the
