sALroN SEA WORRIES EXPERTS
Southern Pacific Engineers Graphing
With the Problem

Salton Sea. for several months past

lists, is now a serious menace to towns
north of Imperial valley and threat
ems to wipe several of them out of eX-
istence as we'll as to do thousands of
dollars worth of damage to growing
crops.
A party of Southern Pacific engi-
neers has left Los Angeles for the sea
to decide whether the tracks shall be
permanently abandoned.
The sea is rising at the rate of
from six to eight inches per day and
it is not known when the rising will
cease, although H. T. Cory, general
manager of the California Development
company, states that he believes the
worst is past and that the sea will
probably soon begin to fall again.
The melon and especially the canta-
loupe farmers in the vicinity of Mecca
are worrying greatly. The water has
already encroached on the lower
farming lands and threatens to reach
the higher lands and the town of
Mecca. Mecca is still about twenty
feet above the advancing waves, as
the country slopes considerably and
is probably safe for some time to come.
The experimental date farm of the
government is threatened and unless
the progress of the sea is stayed, the
orchard will be flooded and ruined and
the hundreds of dollars which have
been spent and the time given to the
orchard will all have been expended
in vain.
The entire trouble is caused by the
Colorado, which is at high tide at
present, and nearly all the flow from
the river is pouring into Salton sea

Proxies Being Mailed to illinois Gen.
traI Stockho olders

Requests for proxies for the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Ill
inois Central railroad in October mailed
to the shareholders of the road, are
made out in the name of Stuyvesant
Fish, the president of the road, with
John c. yelling. the vice president, as
an alternative. The proxies are worded
to cover any special meeting of the
stockholders that may be called, as
well as the annual meeting.
The officers of the road say they
have not heard of any movement to
obtain proxies in opposition to Presi-
dent Fish.
1t has been expected for some time
that the Hartman interests in the Ill

CUTS FARES A HALF MILLION
Hartman Reduction viii Induce Set
tiers to Come West

General Passenger Agent Lomax of
the Union Pacific, estimates the loss
in fares by Hartman passenger de-
partments as the result of the 20 per
cent cut in local rates in the far west
at Sj00000 year.
This estimate is based on the vol
ume of travel in the territory affected
last year said Mr.. LomaX. 1T will
be largely offset by the increased travel
attracted by the low rates and event
ually wiped out by the effect of induc-
ing people to settle in New Mexico,
Arizona, Nevada and California.
"The reduction was made voluntarily
with this idea. Through travel is not
affected.
"On western roads the percentage of
the total passenger business made up
of through travel is so, as against
about % per cent on the eastern roads.
Only our lines and AtChison have made
the cut, though the San Pedro will be
involved to a small extent"

slight had begun to dawn on the
prisoner and he began to shake with
this hope. First his eyes twitched and

tapped gently against the floor and time

But when the case began to go

noticeable. The pupils Of his eyes, which

THE HEROIC FIREMEN.

of His Awful Task.


of His Awful Task.
San Jose (Cal) Mercury.-In a
letter to his sister, Katherine Rus
sell of this city, Stephen Russell, a
captain in the San Francisco fire de-
partment, deals with a particular
feature of the recent disaster which
has hitherto escaped attention. Mr.,
Russell says: I'VE will never be
able to give any kind of description
approaching accuracy of the terrible
scenes during the earthquake and for
the three days following AS soon
as possible after the shake / ascer.
tanned that all my family was unin.
jured. Then commenced our fight
with the fire, which lasted amid har.
rowing and nerve-racking scenes OF
50 hours without intermission.
1T took two firemen to hold the
hose while two more sheltered them
with wet blanket. And many
many times, we would lie down in
the gutter and roll in the water, but
it would not be two minutes till we
were perfectly dry again. Our coats
fell from our backs. Rubber coats
lasted no length of time at all. Our
caps were burned or baked on our
heads. Our feet were blistered by
the heat on the rubber boots. Yet
every man fought on for So hours,
when ordinarily a two hours fight
will exhaust a man. The doctors
injected strychnine into us, so we
could go on. And one volunteer
citizen who had good judgement, went
up and down the line with a sack and
dipped it in the gutter, and applied
it to the back of our neck. Many
times we were trapped by the fire
and could not get the horses to our
engines, but always the citizens vol
unteered and pulled them out for us.
The horses were exhausted also
and could not pull the engines at
times. One place in particular, up
a steep hill, we put rope on the en-
CINE and about 500 people got hold
and dragged horses, engine and all
up the hill. We had over half of
our hose burned Many of the men
were delirious at times. We had
no conception of time and when l
came to make out my report | called
my men in to help, and while one
would be positive that certain
thing took place at o'clock in the
morning another would swear it was
at IL o'clock at night. 1t was as
bright as day at all times. You
can imagine how we fought for we
all loved San Francisco and to see
her go up in smoke nearly broke our
hearts"

A DEEP WATER HARBoR.

I'm 1898 Congress passed a bill ap-
propriating s2,900,000> for the con-
struction of a breakwater at San
Pedro, Cal.," writes N. A. Bowers in
Technical World Magazine. San
Pedro is 80 miles south of Los Angeles,
and has about $500 inhabitants. It
has long been an important seaport Of
the Pacific coast; but of late years it's
steadily growing lumber trade has
been seriously hampered by lack OF
ample sheltered anchorage. The
rapid development of Los Angeles and
the adjoining country has created
great demand for lumber; and this
lumber, which is obtained chiefly from
the Puget Sound region, can be
brought by water far cheaper than by
rail. San Pedro had only limited
wharfage, and absolutely no sheltered
anchorage; but, like many engineer
ing projects Of great magnitude,
breakwater was considered impossible
or impracticable until it became a ne
cessity.
by the time the breakwater is fin
ished, the four square miles Of water
lying in its shelter will have a depth
sufficient to accommodate the largest
ocean-going vessels. Dredgers are
constantly working on the shallow por-
tons, and have already deepened the
water considerably, over part OF the
sheltered section. Although at the
present time only about one-half of
the superstructure appears above
water, vessels may safely anchor In
its shelter in moderately heavy storms.
This is good indication OF what the
effect will be when the breakwater is
completed
I'm the lee Of this great wall, San
Pedro is rapidly expanding. Her flu
ture is assured. When the Panama
canal opens short cut for all the
traffic of the Atlantic, San Pedro will,
by the steadfast might of her protect
or, claim place among the chief
ports of the Pacific"

THE CELESTIAL ARMY.

l stood at the open easement,
And looked upon the night,
And saw the Westward-going stars
Pass slowly out Of sight.
Slowly the bright procession
Went down the cleaning arch,
And my soul discerned the music
OF the long, triumphal march;
Till the great celestial army,
Stretching far beyond the poles.
Became the eternal symbol
Of mighty march of souls.
Onward, forever onward.
Red Mars led on his clan
And the moon like a mailed maiden
Was riding in the van.
And some were bright in beauty,
And some were faint and small,
But these might be in their greater
heights
The noblest Of them all.
Downward, forever downward,
Beyond earth's dusky shore,
They passed into the unknown night
They passed, and were no more.
No more! oh, say not 80!
And downward is not just;
For the sight Is weak and the sense
is dim
That looks through heated dust.
The stars and the mailed moon,
Though they seem to fall and die,
Still sweep in their embattled lines
An endless reach of sky.
And though the hills of death
May hide the bright array,
The marshalled brotherhood of souls
Still keeps its onward way.
Upward, forever upward,
! see their march sublime,
And hear the glorious music
OF the conquerors of time.
And long let me remember
That the palest, faintest one
May to diviner visions be
A bright and blazing sun.

A Leg Worth More Than a Man.

Jesse James, the noted outlaws
son. is, at the age of 30, one of the
most talented and respected lawyers
of Kansas City.
In a claims case that he recently
won, Mr.. James told an amusing
story.
There was a woman" he said,
whose husband was killed in railway
accident The railroad, to avoid suit,
gave her $4,000 damages.
"The sum satisfied the woman. but
a month or two afterwards, taking up
a newspaper, she read about a man
who had lost his leg in the same ac-
cident, and behold, this man was Civ
en- by the company damages to the
amount of $500.
1T made the woman mad. She has
tened at once to the Office of the rail-
ways claim adjuster. She said bit
terly:
How is this? Here you give
man $500 for the loss Of his leg.
while you only gave me $4,000 for the
loss of my husband
The claim adjuster smiled amiably,
and said in soothing voice:
Madam, the reason is quite
plain. The $500 won't provide the
poor man with new leg, whereas
with your $4,000 you can easily get
new husband, and perhaps a better
one.
