A writer for a woman's page in n
of the weekly papers appeals to mothers
to teach their daughters, or have them
taught, to cook. 1t cannot harm them,
argues the writer, and if they are to
preside over homes of their own they
are certainly better equipped for pre-
serving the health and happiness of
themselves and families. Who can be
happy and have dyspepsia? If able to
keep servants, they make better mistress
ses by knowing what servants should
do, and by teaching them if necessary.
l heard the principal Of a high school
say that no one should be allowed to
teach in the public schools who was
ignorant of household duties, for her
influence was bad. There are girls
who boast that they know ..nothing
about homework. They should be
ashamed, rather than proud, of their
ignorance. If there were more sensi-
BILE mothers, there would be a different
state of affairs.

Long-New Depot at Alameda-Looomotives for the Mountains.

Ilivered, an increase of fully fifty per
cent of the freight car rolling stock.
These cars, if strung together, would
make one train 1928 miles in length, and
the 337 new locomotives upon n track
would form a line four miles long.
Fifty-three new small depots and sta
ton buildings have been built at Red.
wood, Niles, East Oakland, Capltola.
and other points, each costing all the
way from 1920 to $500. These depots
do not include the up-to-date brick and
steel structure at San Antonio, which
cost with yard and grading something
like $1,000 600, the new train shed at
Houston, Texas, costing $4,000, or the
projected new depot at San Bernardino
which viii cost $40. 900.
Cutting Out Curves.
Curves have been Strengthened, and
on all the main lines of the Southern
Pacific 20 and 80 ID. steel has replaced
the old rails, all the rail delivered this
year being of German manufacture,
thirty-three feet in length, of standard
sections. There have been 1921 miles
of rail betterments, weighing 100, 100
tons; 492 locomotives have been chang
ed to oil burners; $40 miles of sidings
have gone in; and 38 miles of double
track; over 277 mi les have come under

tenn, while the total increased mileage
is 260. So much for summary; now as
to details.
i The Ogden-Lucin Cutoff.
The cutoff between Ogden and Lucin,
by which about 103 miles of crooked
and back-number track was thrown out
for the direct grade and trestling of a
little over forty-four miles across two
arms of the great Salt Lake, was a big
undertaking. 1t involved all sorts of
Curious engineering freaks, and it is
no wonder the engineer and officials
now feel proud as a hen with ducks at
having the satisfactory completion of
this great work. Latest reports show
that the work of construction is all
closed except about nine-tenths of a
mile of trestling. This cutoff line
takes out all the steep grades, running
as high as ninety feet to the mile and
leaves no grade greater than twenty
one feet to the mile. There is practi
cally no curvature. the new ~engineerinp

Evidently. President Hartman meant
what he said when he told the mer.
chants Of San Francisco during his last
visit hat he proposed to make the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific sys-
TENS second to none in the world. He
may not have said just those words, but
he gave that impression. Judging from
recent reports taken from official rec
ords, this new moving power in western
railway affairs does not propose by any
means to distribute all his profits in
dividends to the stockholders. These
figures show that during a period of
less than three years up to June 30,
1903, the aggregate expenditures for
betterments and equipment on all lines
in the Hartman system were $40, 348,.
369. Some idea of what this means is
gained by noting that this amount is
more than the total estimated K epdi-
ture necessary for the completion of the
Panama Canal
The work has been going on steadily
for about three years on all the lines of
the system between Omaha and San
Francisco as well as between Frisco and
Portland and between Frisco and New
Orleans. Into all these main lines rs
well as upon the branches, some of these
millions of money have gone, all the
expenditures being with the idea of es-
tablishing a railway system equal to
any ever constructed. But the present
plans of the directors will not stop here
for the work now actually under way
will increase the figures above stated
by several millions. The rapid devel-
opment of the Pacific coast and western
territory, and the remarkable awaken
ing and increase of Pacific commerce,
are the causes of these expenditures
which put the railways on the footing
demanded by the possibilities of the
traffic, and the outlook, in the Judgment
Of the far-seeing officials, warrants
every confidence in the future. The
combined lines concerned are the South
ern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Ore
gon Short Line, the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, Chicago and AL
ton and the Kansas CITY Southern. In
the following detailed statement it is to
be noted that the pr~oportionate expendi-
lures for new equipment on the South
ern Pacific are far greater than on any
of the other lines.

Millions in improvements.

These figures are interesting as fig
ures, but Nevadans and all residents
OF the country tributary to these rail-
roads are likely to be interested in
knowing just what these figures mean.
Where has all this money gone, amount
ing on the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific systems alone to $50, 603. 93S? AS
noted above, it has gone into various
ramifcations of the system under head.
ing of improvements as follows: Bet
terments, $40. 115, 587; changes of lines,
$14. 532, 237; equipment, S4S, 200, 545,
making the total above noted of $1O4,-
348, 800.
Sixty Million Tons of Steel.
The chief railway construction work
involved has been what is generally
known as the Salt Lake cutoff. Besides
this there is the cutoff on the coast
line at Chatsworth Park, the renewal
of steel bridges and steel rails and the
purchase of a vast quantity of rolling
stock, construction of new railroad
sheds, round houses, and depots. The
Ogden and Salt Lake cutoff, which will
be completed and over which cars will
be running by the first Of the year, has
cost to date a, 400. 162. Over sixty mil
lion toni of steel has been put into the
lines of the Southern Pacific system,
making a continuous string of first-class
steel bridges. capable of carrying with
the greatest of security, the heaviest
stock all the way along the lines
from Ashland, Oregon, to Houston,
Texas, and from San Francisco to Og-
den.
Miles of Freight Cars.
The new passenger coaches number
hundred and forty-ive, including
one hundred and twenty-five modern
chair cars, each of the seating capacity
between sixty-four and seventy pas
sengers. New freight cars, numbering

four thousand degrees of curvature.
The distance across the two arms of the
Great Salt Lake is twenty.six and one
half miles. East of Promontory the
roadbed is embarked except for one
opening of six hundred feet, provided
for the outlet of the Bear river.
West of Promontory the work is be.
ing embarked except about eleven
miles out of a distance of nineteen and
a half miles. The trestling here is sub
stantially done, and the engineers plan
to fill in steadily, making a permanent
embankment long before the piling be-
gins to show signs Of age.
With the completion of this Ogden
Luciu cnt-off, railroad men say that the
saving Of time on the main overland
line will be such that the traveller may
leave San Francisco at 5 in the afternoon,
instead Of 10 o'clock in the morning as
at present or the Overland Limited,
and arrive at Chicago at the same time,
thus effecting a saving of fully seven
hours in the overland travel. In other
words, the Hartman interests have ex-
pended very close to five millions of
dollars in order to save the cross-con.
tinent traveller seven hours of time in
his overland journey. Besides saving
time, the trip across the Salt Lake will
be attractive for travellers. The breeze
from the lake being of refreshing cool
ness after the sand and sunshine of the
dry region ON both sides.
Old Track Abandoned.
Upon the main central overland line.
besides the Ogden Lucin cutoff, much
of the track has been rebuilt, amount
ing between Reno and Lucin to POP
miles of new road. This is actual new
construction, not merely ~relaying of
modern 80 pound steel on old grades,
but nearly all of the old roadbed through
this section, amounting to fully 800
miles has been abandoned. More than

come out of this line Of road and 300
feet of grade, ascent and descent, has
been cut out,-grade amounting TO as
much as the famed climb over the Te-
hachapi mountains from Caliente to Te-
hachapi-in fact the T~ehachapi grade
is not as great as the total reduction
made in this recent rebuilding Of the line
east of Reno. This construction work
on the central line has included also
thirty-six new steel bridges with
masonry abutments requiring over
eight million pounds of steel, the princi-
pal bridges being those over the
Truckee, Humboldt and Weber rivers.
Between Reno and Lucin, four tunnels
have been constructed with an aggre-
gate of 10, 100 feet or nearly 2 miles;
these tunnels beingi in length respective
ly 1900, 5000, 5000 and 100 feet. The
principles of modern railroad engineer
ing have ruled here, the railroad no
longer seeking the best grade, involving
the least expenditure, but the most
direct and most level grade; modern
railroad science no longer cork-screwing
its way about the hill, but plunging
boldly through the mountain. in order
to get the track on as nearly q water
level basis as possible. A railroad Of
fetal, speaking of the new construction
on the central line, said the other day
that the curves of the new track were
made to accommodate the heaviest rolling
stock moving at any speed.
