Still They Come.

We notice that the building fever has
struck the owners of several lots o n
Spring street and that several of the old
landmarks on that street have been raz
ed in order that stately brick edifices
may be erected in their stead. The old
carriage shop where our venerable towns
man, J. r. Dickson, has held forth so
long that the memory OF man runneth
not to the contrary has been torn
down and the work has begun on a fine
two story brick store 21x12O feet. A
block of four stores will be Immediately
begun and as fast as the workmen can
do it the space between W.. H. Tops
store and the corner will be filled in.
This will complete the block which will
be a great Improvement to Spring street.
| A granitOi pavement will be laid along
it's entire front which will afford a short
er and better way to the Court House.
The city still grows. Every day some.
thing new turns up as a surprise. Keep
the ball moving.

REPORT ON SALT WATER
SUPPLY Is REJECTED
Fire Commissioners Say Engineers
Did Not Follow the Instructions
Given TheEl.


AT the meeting of the Board of
Fire Commissioners yesterday the re-
port of City Engineer Grunsky and
Consulting Engineer Slut was rejected
as not being in harmony with the
work for which they had been en-
ployed and for which the sum of $500
had been appropriated by the Board
of Supervisors. This work was to de-
wise a plan by which the city could
secure an abundant supply of salt
water from the ocean for the Fire
Department, street sprinkling and the
( flushing OF sewers.
The object desired by the officials
is that a reservoir be placed on Twin
Peaks containing about 100000 gal
Ions of salt water, which would be
ample to meet all requirements of the
Fire Department in case of q great
confagTation without having TO de-
pend on the supply furnished by the
Spring Valley Water Company.
Engineer Grunsky and his confrere
dealt more, according to the views en-
tertained by the Commissioners, with
the securing 4 a sufficient water sup
ply from the Spring Valley Water
company ana the nInlted SalI water
supply conducted by the Olympic
Club, which had been offered for city
use, than with q plan to furnish a sup
ply independent of all sources con-
trolled by companies or corporations.
President Boyne has given the
members of the Fire Department to
understand that visiting saloons while
in uniform will not be tolerated. For
an infraction of this rule j. J. Mitchell
of chemical engine No. was fined
ten days pay and ordered to be repri-
manded by his superior officer.

as a section laborer. He later joined
the Southern Pacific Company and was
rapidly advanced in position until 1891,
when he was made agent at Reno,
New. Six years later he was appoint
ed di5trlct freight and passenger agent
OF the company at Fresno, and the
same year saw him promoted to the
position of general freight and pas
senger agent of the Southern Pacific
Company's lines In Oregon, From
there he came to San Francisco to ac-
cept the position of assistant freight

he soon resigned to go to Houston as
general manager of the Southern Pa
cific lines in Texas. He has had much
experience both in the traffic and op-
Grating departments of railroads, and

the duties about to be relinquished by
Mr. Kruttschnitt
1t was stated yesterday that Mr..
Markham is expected in San Fran
cisco in about ten days. Mr. Krutt-
schnitt departed last evening for Salt
Lake, and win return next week un-
less his plans are changed in the
meantime.
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-20

A ripple Of excitement was created
in the Southern Pacific building yes
terday Just before the offices closed
when the announcement was made
that julius Kruttschnitt is soon TO re-
linquish the position of general man
4ger of the road TO accept one of
higher authority in Chicago. Within
the next ten days a circular will be
issued from the offices of Z. H. Harri-
man in New York announcing Mr..
Kruttschnitt's promotion to the posi-
ton of director of transportation of
the Hartman lines, with headquarters
in Chicago. The title is to be created
for him, giving him rank with Traf-
iic Director ]. c. Stubbs in the man
agement of all lines operated by the
Hartman syndicate. 1t was stated yes
terday by Mr.. Kruttschnitt that his
successor here will be Charles H.
Markham, at present vice president
and general manager of the Galveston,
Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway
and the Houston and Texas Central
Railroad in Texas. AS yet General
Manager Kruttschnitt has not learned
Just when he will relinquish his duties
here, but he expects that the change
will take place within the next four
weeks.
In .he elevation of Mr.. Kruttschnltt
to the position of director OF transpor
tation of the Hartman lines. President
r. H. Hartman is carrying out a plan
of Capitalization which he has had un-
der consideration for a long time. His
first move in this direction was the ap-
pointment of j. c. Stubbs TO the posi-
ton of traffic director. Next he under
took the standardizing of all the roads
he controls, and several days ago he
ordered Passenger Traffic Manager E.
o. Mccormick to Chicago to take
charge of the passenger business of the
Hartman lines, thus relieving Assist
ant Traffic Director Ben Campbell of
part of his duties. Now comes the ad-
vancement of Julius Kruttschnitt, and
before his plans of Capitalization are
fully effected it is probable that many
other changes OF a minor character
VIII have been made on the various
lines west OF Chicago.
The announcement of General Man
ager Kruttschnitt's advancement will
be received as a pleasant surprise by
many of his friends in this city. who
will naturally accept it as an indica-
tion of the great confidence which
President Hartman reposes in him.
Among fair minded railroad men
throughout the United States, and es-
pecially those connected with the man
agement of the Santa Fe road, which
Is direct competitor of the Southern
Pacific Company for business in the
West, Mr.. Kruttschnitt bears the rep
utation of being one of the clevercst
operators in this country. fact which
the late Coils p. Huntington readily
appreciated many years ago. when he
began to advance Kruttschnitt in his
positions of responsibility until the lat
ter was made general manager of the
two great systems of the Southern Pa
