PLANT LOCUST TREEs.
Pennsylvania Mobiles the Western
Catalpa Plantation Idea.

In recent years the railroads of the
country have entered into all manner
of outside enterprises. with q view to
lettering their conditions, physically
and otherwise. but the latest of these
ventures is attracting more than ordl-
nary attention in the railroad world.
The information was given out yester-
day that the Pennsylvania system had
decided to supply its own material for
railroad ties, and with this end in view
the construction department had ar
ranged 70 cultivate $4,000 young locust
trees along the right of way of the
middle division of the road. The COM
pany owns a large number of tracts of
land along its lines in the middle diVi-
sion. both east and west of 2ittsburg
and it is the intention that this prop
erty shall be used in the raising of
timber for the use of the road
For several years the railroads have
been confronted by a shortage of wood
en- ties and the problem has grown so
serious that many of the roads have
discussed the matter in their annual
reports. The forestry commission has
complained that the destruction of the
forests of the country has resulted in
drouths- and various organizations have
insisted that the forests be preserved,
but at the same time they have failed
to show the railroads engaged in ex-
tending and improving their lines how
they can get necessary material with
out destroying the trees.

IMPROVING ITS TERMINAL.
Santa Fe Buys More Land at San
Francisco Coast

The management of the Santa E'e
railroad has decided to improve it's new
line from San Francisco north into the
timber belt. with a view to marketing
the lumber which that section is ca
pable of producing. In prepare ton for
entering the lumber trade the COM
pany is about to establish a terminus
on Humboldt bay and to improve the
old Eel River & Eureka railroad re-
Gently purchased by it. The California
& Northern, which was recently pur-
chased. will also be improved.
A transfer of realty just recorded
evinces the intention of the Santa F'e
system to establish a terminus on
Humboldt bay. Three-fourths of what
is known as the Allen tract has been
secured by the Santa Fe people and
suit in condemnatio for the balance
of the property is pending. The price
paid is reported to have been SIS. 500.
This tract, which adjoins the Santa
Fe depot at Eureka, together with the
terminal site of the old Eel river &
Eureka road on the north. and that of
the California & Northern railroad
company on the south of il, both sites
now being owned by the Santa Fe,
through the purchase of the two roads,
will give them one of the best ter
minalS on Humboldt bay.

CAN'T KILL THEM.
Another Instance of Drunk Who
Escaped Death.

e. Paso, Tex, Sept. S.-A machinist
named Snyder fell off an S. P. train
near Chamiso, and though the train was
stopped as soon as he was missed and
backed to where he was supposed to
have fallen off. an hours search by the
traInmen failed to find the man.
1t seems Snyder had been on pro-
tracted spree in Tucson and boarded No.
to come to this city. After passing
Benson he got up and went out on the
platform, and it is supposed he then fell
off. The trainmen searchers found some
blood on the ground where the man evil
IDENTIFY struck when he fell. but he was
evidently not hurt so badly that he
could not get up and go away
Nothing has been heard of Snyder
since.

women to suffer year after year with a

Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It

in the length of time that it should be
