SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO
USE ELECTRIC SYSTEM
Motors Will Be Installed to
Help Freight Trains Over
Steep Grades.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. l9.-The
Southern Pacific tomorrow will begin
the work of installing an electric sys-
TEN on It's line over the Sierra Nevada
mountains, for the purpose of helping
the heavy freight trains up the steep
mountain grades by means of electric
motors.
This undertaking has been contem-
plated for some years, and President
Hartman recently determined to install
and put it into operation. A corps Of
engineers has arrived at Truckee and
will supervise the work under the di~
rection of the General Electric COM
pnny, who will build the plants neces-
sary TO operate the system.
Details have not yet been given out,
but it is said that the engineers will
settle upon the third~rail system.
The installation of this system is a
radical change in railroad operation in
the West. 1t is figured that the saw
ing i'll transportation will repay the
Southern Pacific in IA few years for the
large outlay in building and equipping
an electric system Al present freight
trains are divided into several sections
and then require two and three engines,
with CORRESPONDENCE large crews, to
haul them UP the steep mountain grades.
Powerful electric motors will take the
place Of the engines under the electric
system

Pike was the discoverer in 1906 OF the

the British In the war OF 1872 and was
killed at the moment OF victory. But
Pike was handler with the sword than
he was with tho pen, He was q soldier

PHILOSOPHY OF DANCING
Famous Men Of Antiquity Who En-
gagged In tho Art.

AS Mr. SQueerse was the right shop
for morals" 80 II has been found year
after year that the conference OF the
International Academy OF Composers Of
the Dance and Dancing Masters is tho
right shop for history and department.
and moro especially for history. At tho
conference recently held in Paris, NJ.
Eugene Giraudet. the president Of the
! academy. traced the history OF dancing
from early times.
The hymnal dance was evidently in
vogue when the Israelites crossed the
Red sea. The farandole is always
claimed by Provence. but it seems now
that 1t was invented by Theseus when he
came out of the Labyrinth and that IL
was called the stork. because 1t initiated
the flight OF storks. Socrates danced.
Plato-but should like to hear DR., Emil
Reich on this point-and Simonides must
have danced. according to our Academi-
clan because they said such pleasant
things about dancing.
Louis NV. was not only LIE Grand
Monarque," but also "un grand danseur,"
because he said: He who dances we'll
makes a long step in love" When Ma
poleon ]. was military student at Bri-
enne he demanded more money from his
father for dancing lessons, saying: Il
do not know how TO dance. and that is
very ridiculous" This remark" said
NJ. Giraudet, "proves that Napoleon was
not wanting In common sense"
Capt. Cook turns out TO have been
an early Capt. Reece commander OF
the Mantelpiece) when he insisted that
his sailors should dance every day. As
TO the Car. we were informed that
though he does not talk much. he has
uttered this apothegm on dancing: "a
man is perfect and complete only when
he knows how 10 conduct himself under
all social conditions, a dancing master
and master OF manners is therefore in
dispensable. London Standard,

The Curry tragedy occurred on a

Mrs Curry, who was 35 years old, has
been here since August 25. Her hus-
band came last night. They appeared
to be on good terms until they started
for a walk today, when quarrel en-
sued Mrs. Curry suddenly started to
run, when her husband fired at her
three times. AS she fell he fred a
bullet through his own brain. He was

That this section of the state is
