THOUSANDS OF ENGINES
WILL BE REMEMBERED
Not Only the Freight and Passenger Iron Mon.
sters to be Re-painted, but Every Switch En-
CINE at the Various Terminals.

The Santa Fe railway will within n
short time start the work OF renum-
bering the locomotives over the en-
tire system. This work will be done
so that the class and capacity M be
distinguished. 1t has been a great
many years since such a thorough
REMEMBERING has occurred, and the
task Is in no way a small one.
The first work Of this character Will
be started at Topeka, Kas., the gen.
eral headquarters Of the road, and
where the monster shops are located.
All Of the locomotives that are In the
shops for repairs and other works
will be remembered in a light yellow
color. The work will then be done IN
La Junta, and later in Pueblo.
It is estimated that approximately
1000 locomotives will be affected by
the order, which covers every engine
now in service on the entire Santa
Fe system. Not only are the freight
and passenger locomotives to be re-
painted, but every switch engine In
service at the various terminals along
the entire route.
One of the chief contentious made
by the officials for causing such an
order to be issued, is that the SCOT
and dust that flies against the engine
during its many trips over the road
have caused the numbers on the en-
gines to be dimmed and can only be
read at a short distance. When train
crews have orders to meet certain
trains at certain points. and again
are instructed to get in the side track
while specified trains pass, II is al
most impossible for the engineer or
any of the crew to read the number of
the locomotive on the passing tram
when it goes at a fast rate of speed,
on account of the paint being almost
worn off.
1t is said that in order not to delay
The work of the painters and employees
of the various shops along the line, a
car will be fitted up and a corps OF
painters fro mthe Topeka shops will
be assigned to the special duty Of Wis
hing each terminal where a round
house is located and repaint the loco
motives.

No Passes to Portland.
The issuance or passes to and from
the Pacific coast 10 railroad employees
Is to be discontinued during the
progress of the Lewis.C Clark exposi.
ton. Considerable friction developed
during the st. Louis exposition be.
tween eastern and western lines and
many complications resulted. It vas
finally decided not to issue any o
free transportation after a certain
date. but 1t is alleged that this agree.
ment was broken by some Of the
roads. To obviate a repetition Of this
during the Portland exposition, a
consultation was held between prom.
inent officials of the eastern and west
ern roads, which resulted in a virtual
agreement not to issue free transpor-
tation to and from points on the
Pacific coast.

President Roosevelt is the honored re-
epient OF much praise for his straight
forward, manly course in seeking to
.fng Russia and Japan together in the
Movement to secure peace, and is well
deserving OF such praise by all who de-
sire peace on earth and good will 10 men.
ihe President has done everything he
yan do in this direction. He cannot
make peace. The two nations at war
can only do this. No statesman or ruler
IN the world could do more than to get
these two emperors OF great peoples to-
sether to secure peace. This President
Roosevelt has done and in manner that
merits the highest praise Of diplomats Of
other nations. Whatever the ultimate
'esults Of the peace movements, naugur-
ated by our president, the excellence of
MS work and all credit due him therefor
cannot be gainsaid. All honor to Presi.
0ent Roosevelt. 1t is a grand thing to
osVe ruler who appreciates the neces.
slty of action and has the ability and
courage to take such action at the right
lime.

The Euuitable Life.

The affairs of the Equitable Life are
at last in process OF satisfactory adjust
ment. Mr Hyde has been brought to a
realizing sense that his position of con-
troll was Incompatible with the business
interests of the company. His surrender
of stock control at valuation of about
S4, 900, 900 and his resignation were the
preliminary steps to thorough reOrgan-
iZAtion. Paul Morton, now Secretary of
the navy, becomes chairman of the
board of directors with extraordinary
powers. and all the leading representa-
atives of the warning factions in that
board step out, including President
Alexander and all the vice presidents.
The Ryan syndicate, which purchased
the controlling interest in the stock of
the society from the Hyde family, has
outlined plan that eliminates the one
man control which made possible the
reckless management, and has provided
for actual naturalization. This stock
is to be placed in the hands of three
trustees-Grover Cleveland, Morgan j.
O'Brien, Presiding Justice of the APP
pellate Court and George Westinghouse,
of Pittsburg-who will freely select.
according to their own good judgment,
twenty four of the fifty two directors of
the society. and will also elect twenty.
eight other directors for whom the
policy holders vote. Under this new
management with all the radical changes
in methods which it represents, the
Equitable ought to get down to straight
business and forge ahead.

William H. Brownson is vigorously
urged by many Portland people for the

self acted unofficially several times as
superintendent pro tenn. la electing Mr..

precisely what they will get, superin-
rendent whose efficiency has already been
demonstrated 10 bis special field" Mr..
Brownson is graduate of Skowhegao

Academy. This ought to count in his
favor.

The next two weeks will be busy ones
for the farmer. Although haying will
be late hoeing and haying will be near
together this year. In these days of
modern farm implements, the horse is
brought into service much more than in
the old days. The custom now is, and
it is the right one, to keep the weeder,
aulhvator and horseshoe going constant
ly With all the improvements there
are set backs and some are serious ones.
The crow and the potato bug are among
the worst pests with which the farmer
has to contend. No crop of any kind
is assured unless we'll watched and cared
for. The potato bug will ruin the
potatoes in afew hours and the crow
will do the same with the corn. Extra
labor, much valuable time, and con-
slant lookout for the enemy is all that
will save these two great staples of
Maine.

II half the stories told about the Rus.
sian navy are true there is no need to
seek far for the cause of disaster. Ii is
stated that not 2 single officer OF the
feet knew the commander-in-chie
plans. The admirals In command Of
divisions had to rely entirely on the
signals OF the flagship. Admiral Mt
9ogatoff on whom the command devolved
had seen Rojestvensky once after the
iuneture of their squadrons and then
only for fifteen minutes. All the stories
)f extensive target practice in Madsgas-
car, it seems, were false. During the
entire voyage there practically was no
training in gunnery worthy of the name
and the big gun practice WAS confined to
three shots per vessel. Ammunition was
short after the first days battle. The
absence OF order and discipline was
marked. The combination of Russian
s}uadrons formed mob rather than
aayy.
