ley are under control of the govern
ment, with good hotels. camps and
trails. Visitors to the great national
conventions at San Francisco in June
and August will find the Yosemite side
tour a pleasant one. While not so
tremendous and awe inspiring as the
Grand Canyon of Arizona, Yosemite
has a beauty all its own and it is well
worth while.

The fate of the Morrison tubes,
which portion of the Baldwin engines
makeup has been giving the Santa Fe
no end of trouble of late, has been de-
cided. says the San Be%rnardino Sun.
1t will be remembered that these tubes
became unruly several weeks ago, and
the members of the 800" series were
brought to the local round house that
the trouble might be remedied. The
investigation brought experts from the
Baldwin Locomotive works of Phila-
delphia, from Brooklyn and from To-
peka. These got their heads together
and their decision followed. 1t is that
two of the tubes must be removed,

placed with new Ones, while the re-
naming pair are to be Strengthened.
This last process is an interesting one,
the tubes being heated to a white heat
and then forced into shape with a hy-
draulic jack.
The Southern Pacific is asked to pay
$40 900 for the death of Perfecto AL
wear, the aged Mexican who was run
over and killed some months ago a
mile and a half east of Brookside sta
ton. Cal. A suit for damages to this
amount was commenced by Jacinta AL
wear, the surviving widow, and Juan
Alvear, a son of the deceased. John
Brown, Jr., of San Bernardino. and
Water & Wylie. of Los Angeles, are
attorneys for the plaintiffs. According
to the complaint in the action, there
is a straight track for three-quarters
of a mile where the accident occurred.
Alvear was walking toward Brookside
station, and the train was travelling in
the same direction. The complaint al
leges that no whistle was blown and
that the engineer did nothing to warn
the aged Mexican of the approach of
the train. He was struck by the en-
CINE and instantly killed.
