Extensive Track Repairs.

The Sonora railway. has. now nearly completed the extensive track repairs inaugurated at the time it passed under the control of the Southern Pac ific, and by January 1st the work will be all done, making the roadbed as good aud safe as any in the repub- lie. The entertainments have been all widened, and in many places raised from two to five feet; the bridges have been all renewed with new creosoted piles and crosspieces. while the string CTS and bridge ties are all of new Oregon fir, good for twenty years ser vice; wherever necessary the ties have been renewed, all of the old ones have been turned, between each tie and the rail steel tie plate has been laid, and the rails have all been laid upon what is called the broken joint" method-i. G., the joints between rails upon ono side of the track are not directly opposite those on the other, as formerly, but midway the lengths of the rails, making the track stronger, and reducing the sound of coDcussion of passing car wheels. Iu it's present excellent condition the track is good for a continuous speed of fifty miles an hour. To these great improve ments Manager J. A. Naugle and Track uperintendent George Mon. tague have devoted unremlttinR at tention through many months and they are to be congratulated upon tue crowning success of their efforts.

say that l never have asked for or ever
seriously thought OF asking for the ap-
point ment OF clerk, because other ar
rangements would preclude my giving
it any attention. and because the CIV
erncr would have to call a constitutional
convention to amend the constitution to
make me eligible to the position. This
would take aboct fonr years and could
not wait that long Tor 81 small a job.
The appointment as one OF the com
