The purifying plant which was re-
Gently put up at Bagdad, Cal, has
proved to be a great success, says the
San Bernardino Sun. The plant erect
ed was simply a test tank, but now a
large and permanent plant, to be made
in the east, will be placed. The water
at Bagdad is about the worst for loco
motive use that can be found on the
entire Santa Fe system. 1t contains
over 300 grains of solid matter, the
larger part of which is salt.

Fl. Gaunt, superintendent of telegraphs
for the Santa Fe, has returned from a
months trip on the Santa Fe coast
lines, where he has been inspecting
the telegraph lines and equipment. He

stationed in Albuquerque in a respon.
sible position.

the wreck of the Big Four passenger
train near Harrisburg. H., three weeks
ago, received a pass on that road for
himself and family over the entire sys.
TEN for a period of ninety-nine years

three weeks ago, while on his way to
that city, Mr.. ~Glasscock, who is a far

track, and although a blizzard was rag
ing, with the mercury below zero, he
awaited the arrival of the passenger
train and prevented what would have
been a fatal and disastrous wreck.
