New Motive Power For S. P.

San Francisco. The Southern Pa
ciic Company has just ordered from
the East $3.50, 900 worth of new locomo-
tives for use in California, and has
to double the capacity of it's rolling
mills at Sacramento, because of the
great amount of work being done there
in the construction of new cars. Two
thousand six hundred men are now
employed at the Southern Pacific shops
in Sacramento. the greatest number in
the history of the company.
Eighteen of the new locomotives
will be large, modern passenger en-
gines. They will be for use on the new
coast road through Santa Barbara, and
will be built especially for fast runs,
as the company expects to use the
short route for it's passenger flyers be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles.

highest Temperatures.

1t is very curious that the great OBJ
stancle encountered in tunneling under
the snOw-covered Alps is the excessive
ly high temperature. In the construc-
tion Of the Mont Cenis tunnel the high
est temperature recorded was SO de-
grees Fahrenheit, which was reached
at point near the center Of the tun-
mel. The st. Gothard was still hotter,
temperature of 95 degrees having
been observed in the center for several
days. Such heat, in a moisture-laden
and impure atmosphere, could be en-
dured but five hours day for two days
in three; and so prostrating was the Ia
Dor at Mont Cenis and St. Gothard that
the physician who attended the work
men ten years reports the number Of
invalids to have been as great as sixty
to the one hundred. Stranger still was
the appearance of tropical disease
due to intestinal parasites-that is
known only in the hottest regions of
the earth. Even greater rock tempera-
lures are expected in the great tunnels
projected in recent years-those Of the
Simplon, St. Bernard and Mont Blanc
experienced engineers predicting that
under Mont Blanc heat considerably
greater than 100 degrees-possibly
above 125 degrees-will be reached. I'm
proved methods Of ventilating, cooling
and working will all contribute, how
ever, toward overcoming the difficulties
of working.

WEALTHIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH
Are the Usage Indians in Oklahoma. Old
and Young Worth at Least $4,000
Individually.

In the territory of Oklahoma is the
wealthiest community in the whole
world. The members of this COM
munity are also wards of the United
States. They are all members of the
tribe of Usage Indians and not one in
the entire lot is worth in gold coin
less than $4,000. Not child is
born in the tribe but it is worth that
amount of money. Every member of
the tribe is rich in money as we'll as
lands. The oldest squaw in the tribe
and the child at the breast are equals
so far as riches are concerned; that is,
this worlds riches.
This tribe has in the United States
treasury an annuity fund amounting to
S., 900, 900 upon which interest is paid.
They own large sections of land and
some very fine buildings. The MEM
bers of the tribe sold large land hold
ings to the government and the amount
received is placed pro rata to- the
credit of every member of the tribe.
The interest is paid pro rata, too,
and thus each year the Usage Indians
are getting richer and richer and their
lands are improving and becoming
more valuable every year.
Assistant Indian Commissioner Ton
ner, when asked if it was true that the
Usage Indians were the richest people
on earth, acknowledged such 10 be
the fact. He also said that Uncle
Sam has several wards who are very
saving of their money and that there
are very many of the 275,000 Indians
whom Uncle Sam cares for who are
worth considerable property. The
number referred to above includes the
five tribes of civilized Indians in In
dian Territory, the Cherokees, Chock-
taws, Chickasaws, Seminoles and
Greeks, as we'll as the New York In
dians.

AMERICAN SAYINGS.
Phrases Originated in This Country
Which Will Live.

Phrases Originated in This Country
Which Will Live.
Don't swear; fightv' The phrase
has the ring of sound metal.
The American army of invasion ad-
vancing upon Santiago de Cuba was
preceded by body of rough riders.
Suddenly the Spaniards, who were ly-
ing in ambush, fired a deadly volley,
and the startled rough riders replied
with an outburst of curses. Don't
swear; fght!" called Col Wood. The
phrase still lives.
America is big country; it Is des-
tined to become a great country, for
there Is manliness and vigor in the
memorable phrases coined by cele-
brated Americans. 1t was Stephen
Decatur who originated the toast, "Our
country, right or wrong" Henry Clay
said, 'Sir, l would prefer to be right
than be President The last words Of
Nathan Hale were, 'T only regret that
/ have but one life to lose for my coun-
try" William Penn coined the phrase,
81 prefer the honestly simple to the in-
,genuously wicked" And it was Henry
Ward Beecher who uttered the words,
!!"The mothers heart is the child school
room"

the phrase, "Mistrust first impressions,
they are always good" Voltaire de-
clared that "Ideas are like boards;

To which might be added, except when
they are monstrosities. Antoine Ri

To Sidney Smith we are indebted for
the following ungracious description of
a fashionable woman: "Do not mind

Our Arid Lands,

The amount of arid lands which lie
in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, !,
Texas and Colorado is estimated to be
at least 500, 900, 900 of acres. This is rem
dered useless by the need of water,

Mr. Lodge moved to substitute for the
paragraph for a military telegraph and
cable line with Fort Egbert. Cape Nome.
and other military establishments in
Alaska, a paragraph in these words:
For the purpose of establishing military tele-
graphic and cabl, lines to Alaska, sI50.5j0.
The original paragraph makes the like
appropriation, but designates the route, and
the Senate Committee on Appropriations
had recommended striking it out
Mr. Lodge said that his substitute did
not bind the Government to any route but
left the matter open to be arranged in con-
ference. And he spoke of the Importance
OF keeping absolute control of the cable
route from Alaska to Asia. 1t would be a
great mistake. he said, to allow a foreign
Government or company to establish such
line. and he understood that there was a
Canadian company established with
Government subsidy of $3.50, 900 year.
The amendment was agreed to and Mr..
Lodge then moved TO add to it proviso
in these words:
Provided That no telegraph or cable line owned

persons not citizens of the United States. by
any foreign corporation or Government, shall be
