ed a massive and costly monument.
The author OF the Heather Chinee"
and Luck of Roaring Camp" had re-
sided at Frimley for some time prior
to his death. which took place early In
May last year. His grave IL in the
northeastern part of the little church
yard, and round 1t have been planted .
number of young fr trees. The monu.
ment consists of . massive slab Of
white granite, weighing two and . half
tons, on which is placed . block Of
Aberdeen granite. sloping upward into
the form of a Cross. Simplicity itself
is the inscription: Bret Harte. Aug.
rs. 1s37-May s. 1902. Death shall
reap the braver harvest" At the
head of the monument are the words:
In faithful remembrance. M. s. Van

Railroad Rolling stock.

Last year 164.547 railroad cars
we're built. including cars for use on
elevated railroads. but exclusive of
street and other electric cars. This
is considerably the largest record
which has ever been made in the coun-
try, and exceeds by 25.542 the output
for 1901. These figures, Of course. do
not include cars built by railroads at
their own shops. OF the cars recorded
approximately 162,59s are for freight
service and 1,94S for passenger SER
vice; 1,747 are for domestic use ard
$500 are for export. In 1901 the total
number of cars built was 144.267.
which exceeded by 20.161 the recorded
output for the year 1900. The 1901
figures included also 6,262 street cars.
During last year 4.07o locomotives
were built at the various locomotive
plants in the country, as against 1884
in 1901. The real meaning Of, this fig
u > is perhaps best realized by calcu-
lating the expenditure involved, which
would be nearly 34s.O0o.000. II the
average cost per locomotive is assum-
ed to be $4,000.
