ELECTRICAL POWER FOR GRADES
Southern Pacific Considering Plan for
It's Mountain Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2s.-The
Southern Pacific is seriously considering
the use Of electric power to take the heavy
freight and passenger trains over the steam
grades Of the Sierra Nevada mountains
Electric power can be easily installed, ac-
cording to the preliminary reports, to do
the work with an increase over the present
speed of the trains of about 100 per cent
The best speed the powerful locomotives
now hauling the freight cars can make over
the steep grades is eight miles an hour,
and sometimes three locomotives have to
be attached to train.
1t is understood that the new electric
power Will take the cars over the grades
at minimum rate of fifteen miles an hour.
1t is proposed by the Southern Pacific to
do away with some of the hardest grades
by the use of tunnels, which will be bored
in the vicinity of Summit and Truckee

Lewiston Valley Needs Rain.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Lewiston country, or at least
the Lewiston valley section of It, is in
need of rain. Reports rro mall local.
tiles so indicate and farmers In the
valley are looking anxiously for a
change in the weather that will bring
heavy downpour. In the higher Sec
tions of the prairie region. the need
of rain is not so pressing but showers
would be welcomed there and would
result in great benefit. The month of
April just passed, as shown by the
bureau of records, has witnessed the
least precipitation for that month re-
corded in the past six years. The data
taken by volunteer observers for the
period of 10 years preceding the date
OF the establishment of the weather
bureau, show also that during that
period no April has been so free from
precipitation as April, 1906. The
rainfall amounted to only seven-hun-

From all that can be learned re-
garding the accident, Mr.. Coughlin
was walking out home, going down
the side track. and had neared the
west switch near the mill when No. 6
rounded the curve ahead of him. The
light from the engine would strike the
track directly before him and It is
supposed that the man thought the
train was coming on the track he was
then on and he stepped to the other
track TO be out OF the way. The dis

he had no time to get off the track

was thrown some 25 or 80 feet before
he struck the ground and bounced

after that. The shock broke his limbs

A woolen Mil is a Good Thing.

A. e. Eaton, owner OF the Union
Woolen mills, informs the Republican
that the mill payroll at present is run
ming about $1,000 per month. The mill
uses about 1000 cords of wood and $50
tons OF coal per year, and 1t will take
from $4,000 to $40. worth Of wool
to run the concern for the coming
year, From these figures one may
gain something of an idea of the
money required to operate the mill
and the value of such expenditure to
the town. Manufacturing enterpris IS
OF the nature OF the Union Wooden
mill are of great advantage to any
community and should not be under
estimated in figuring up the COM
munity's resources.-Unlon Republi-
