WORRY ALONG WITH COAL FUEL
Eastern Roads Have Not the Advan-
taues of California

With the object of minimizing the
emission of smoke from locomotives of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, j. E..
Muhlfeld, general superintendent of
motive power, has issued new instruc-
tions to engineers and firemen, intended
to govern their firing and operation
This will not only result in an economi-
cal use of steam and fuel, but the
elimina ton of dense smoke will largely
contribute to the comfort of passengers
and the general public, especially in
passing through cities, towns and 9TH
er thickly populated sections.
The company has been and is now
expending considerable money to put in
machinery. boilers, fireboxes, flues,
CRATES and other appliances of locomo-
tives in the most substantial condition
for service, and all adjustments or re-
pairs that may be found necessary
must be promptly and properly made.
The rules require that the fire must
be in good condition at the time the
locomotive starts out on a trip; the
large lump coal reduced to near the
size of a mans fist and freely sprinkled
with water before used. Mr.. Muhlfeld
says that the most successful firemen
are those who can maintain the work.
ing steam pressure within a range of
ten pounds variation with the smallest
amount of fuel and the least waste of
steam.
Master mechanics and road foremen
of engines are required to see that the
instructions are carried out.

ORDERS FOR RAILS

Capacity Output for Year Is 100000
Tons, Of Which 100000 Have
Been Plaeed--RaiI-
road News

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The Record
Herald today says:
More than 100000 tons of steel rails
have been ordered by the railroads for
delivery in 1907, and within a short
time 1t is said orders for as many more
tons will be placed with the various
mills.
The total capacity of the steel mills
for a year is about 100000 tons, so
that all of them are assured their
capacity orders for 1907.
Never before, it is stated, have so
many orders for rails been placed by
the railroads at this season. Some of
the railroads have even been compelled
to get foreign rails in order to have
assurances that their ordersCwill be de-
livered in anything like the time they
specify.
The demand for rails does not come
so much for new railroad construction
as 1t does for renewals and for laying
tracks with heavier steel. The busi-
ness of the railroads has increased so
enormously that the old light rails are
inadequate to carry the trainloads and
the heavy equipment
The railroads of the south are among
the heaviest buyers of steel rails for
1907, and it is said the demand in that
section indicates the wonderful growth
OF the south and the increased demand
which is being made on the transporta-
tion companies.

WATERVILLE, Wash, Nov. 2.-The
Rev. w. S. Jones, Presbyterian minis
ter of this city, has esta blished prece-
dent for trading horses by the pound in
the Big Bend country.
He is good horseman and possessed
neat little cayuse which could carry
him over the country at lively rate.
However, as winter approached he de-
cided to sell the animal He approached
the livery firm of Ayers & Cole, but Mr..
Cole did not wish to buy so light an
animal. The Rev. Mr.. Jones wanted to
sell, even at a sacrifice, and suggested
the pony ought to be worth a cent a
pound. Mr. Cole agreed with him. On
second thought the Rev Mr.. Jones
thought the liverman ought to be will
ling to pay 1h certs a pound for live
horses, and the bargain was struck at
that figure. The horse was placed on
the scales and tipped the beam at $50
pounds, whereupon the Rev. Mr.. Jones
parted company with the ponv for

RECOVERY IS REMARKABLE
Son Of Real Estate Man Upsets All
Traditions of Surgery by Get
tinq Well

Robert Woodward, son of o. L. Wood
ward, a prominent real estate dealer
living at 1881 West Thirty-frst street.
returned to his home yesterday after
being confined at the Good Samaritan
hospital since September from bull
let wound accidentally self-inficted in
his right breast, scraping the spinal
cord.
Young Woodward's almost complete
recovery is considered remarkable oy
surgeons, for rarely in the annals Of
surgery has an entire recovery from
such, wound been known.
Except for slight paralysis affect
ing his legs, Woodward is apparently
as well as before the accident occurred.
This paralysis of the legs is said by
the surgeons to be due more from bod-i
lily weakness than from actual paraly-
sis, and it is believed that he will soon
have the use of his limbs.

Flower Show Closes After To-
nights Exhibition at
Blanchard Hall

The exhibit of Morris Goldenson was
given first and that of A. w. Wolfsklll
second in the dining table exhibit last
night at the flower show in Blanchard
hall.
Morris Goldensons table was very
imposing. In the center stood an I'M
mense vase of long-stemmed Ulrich
Bruner roses. They were fully opened
and in their most beautiful stage, while
at the bottom of the vase was piled, SIX
inches high, a tangled mass of the bios =
SONS, mingled with dark green ferns
and stretching from them half way to
the edge of the table was a soft green
carpet of maidenhair ferns.
Everything in perfect contrast, S. w.
Wolfskill had decorated his table with
the deepest red Liberty roses. The
snowy white linen and highly polished
silver, with dainty white shaded can
delabra softening the picture, made a
beautiful setting for the masterpiece
in the center of the table. The roses
held up their heads from sea of foli-
age and, carelessly tWined around the
flowers or hanging i'm dainty bows be-
side them, were yards and yards of red
baby white ribbon while here and there,
as if to contrast with their snowy
whiteness, the brilliant colors of their
comrades, appeared the pure and tiny
heads of the lilies of the valley.
The petals of the roses were scat
tered on the cloth among an outline of
ferns, and at every other plate was a
handsome corsage bouquet of the dain-
ty lilies.
Miss Ethelind Lords table was un-
surpassed in the beauty of it's soft
color tones. Everything was pale pink
carnations. From the center of the
4. np fKuO
feet i'm height, only the fern leaves re-
lieving the beautiful color, while stray
blooms were scattered over the table
as If by a careless hand.
The last, but not the least, was ta-
BILE decorated i'm lilies of the valley and
violets by o. c. Saakes. The lilies of
the valley lay in dark wicker sled,
from which the blooms rose in great
masses. Violet colOred ribbons were
intermingled with the foliage and ferns
were strewn over the white tablecloth,
while at every other plate was hand
some bouquet of violets tied with rib
bons of their own color.
During the day the members of the
ladies' auxiliary of Christ Church, who
include Mesdames McCouch, Danskin,
Potts, Ward, Chaffey, Vincent, Will
liams, Watson. Moore, and Misses Be-

ME0WS AT NIGHT
SINCE CAT BIT HIM
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-Suffering
from hydrophobia in it's most horrible
form, Samuel Bents was taken to a
local hospital. Mr.. Bents was bitten
by a pet cat about two months ago,
but the disease did not manifest itself
until four days ago.
Then he was noticed to be acting
like a cat and crawling around on all
fours. One moment he would be sit
ting quietly in his favorite chair, maxi
ing a purring sound. and the next in
stant he would bound into the air and
dash madly around the room, wildly
endeavoring to climb the walls.
Bents stole into the yard at times
and rolled in ecstasy among the cat
nip. and by night IT was his favorite
mood to sit on back fence plaintively
meowing until he had gathered around
him all the cats of the neighborhood.
At the hospital it is believed he can
be cured.

HEslTATES ABOUT SALARY
Councilman Kern Has Fixed Ideas
About Police chieftainey Pay

City Councilman Ed Kern Is said to
be hesitatlng about accepting the police
chieftaincy because the salary is mad
equate. This is the latest reason mem
toned for the delay in the change of
heads In the Los Angeles police de-
partment.
Councilman Kern has been a close
student of departmental affairs of late.
He, like most others connected with mu-
nicipal affairs, believes that the num-
Der of men on the rolls is far too mea-
ger. The business district averages
one patroman to every five blocks now,
and there are districts five and ten
times as big elsewhere that have but
one patrolman.
Mr.. Kern will work hard to get addi-
tional patrolmen by the first Of the
year, fifty being the minimum num-
Der wanted. For the hill districts he
favors mounted policemen. He also
favors remodellng the city Jail.

ROOSEVELT SMILE INSURED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-President
Roosevelt is struggling with all his
noted strenuosity to retain his charac-
teristic Rooseveltian smile. This fa-
nous smile has been in danger of be-
ing spoiled by defective teeth.
For the last two or three days the
president has spent some time in a
dentists chair having some of his
teeth filled, so as to prevent losing
any of his molars and particularly his
front teeth. About this time last year
he also visited the offices of the same
dentist and had considerab BILE work
done on his teeth. A large crowd gen.
orally awaited outside the dentists
office TO watch the president come and
go.
The dentist has completed his labors
and the Roosevelt smile won't wear off
for another year at least, as his teeth
are now such shape as to guarantee
him against loss in this direction.
