BRANNER WRITES
WARM PAMPHLE
Stanford Professor Puts
[. S. Geological Survey

SAYS IT Is A TRUST

Professor J. c. Branner Of Stanford
University asserts that public bureau

ecrts that the Geological survey has

nut himself on record in a pamphlet
that he is sending 10 gcologists
throughout the United States for their
consideration. The pamphlet is made
up OF letters that have passed between
Brsnner and Director Walcott, the
head Of the Geological Survey
Walcott would seem TO have stirred
the ire Of the Stanford professor. FROM
1857 TO 1898 Branner was the State
CSeologist OF the State OF Arkansas
Under his direction q survey OF the
fields OF Arkansas was made. The re-
mort was not published up TO the time
that Branner left Arkansas. Finally,
in 1902 Branner suggested to the
United States Geological Survey 10
publish the report matter. but the Sur

Arkansas received.
The last letter that has been given
publicity by Branner makes tho hol-
lowing charges against the Geological
survey:
Local interests arc oVerridden. State
orsaniza tions arc first discredited and
then driven out of existence. and even
the privacy Of our educational insti-
tutions is invaded and discredited in
the eyes OF the very people by whom
and for whom they have been
founded State surveys. formerly
the pride of the States, have
been either completely wiped out or
are so enfeebled that they only survive
with the consent of the national or
ganization."
Many other aYeTments Branner
makes. but the foregoing shows that
Branner is strongly opposed to the
present methods of the Geological
Survey.

est and most gorgeous that has ever
been attempted by the local company.
An out of town orchestra will probably

town lodges will send delegations to

NOW to Build First All Steel Coaches

Postal, Dining and Sleeping Cars
Also Under Construction.

/ the Postoffice Department to construct
its future mail cars of 20 feet in length
and suitable for use as either letter OF
paper cars. The present pay for rail
road postal service is based upon a
car of 60 feet in length, so that in the
new cars an extra 10 feet will be pro
vided for which the company will re
ceive no COL pensation. The new
cars will add greatly to the safety and
convenience of railway mail operat
ors.
The motive power department has
also just approved designs for an all
steel dining car, and an experimental
car of this character will be started at
once. The Pullman Company, at the
instance of the Pennsylvania Railroad
is at work upon an all-steel non-infiam-
mable sleeping car. Some 500 such
cars must be completed and prepared
for service by the time the New York
terminal is ready for operation.
1t is the expectation of the compa-
ny's motive power officials that the
cars, which are now ordebad, will be
as completely fireproof and collision
proof as modern engineering science
has yet rendered possible.

Philadelphia, Nov. 20-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has called for bids for
the construction of 100 all steel, non
infiammable passenger cars. This
will be the first lot of such equipment
to be made in accordance with the
company's intention to build no more
wooden cars. The decision on this
point was fastened by the progress of
the New York tunnel, through which
the company will not run anything
but absolutely fireproof cars.
Bids are to be asked of the Ameri-
can Car & Foundry Company, and the
Pressed Steel Car Company. One ex-
perimental passenger car has already
been built by the Pennsylvania, but
the new cars will embody many i'm
provements upon this one.
The company's shops at Altoona
will also complete now very shortly
the all steel baggage car, which is in
course of construction there, as well
as an all steel postal car-the first to
be constructed by any railroad. This
will be delivered about January 1st

at the behest of the governor, in spite
of the announcement that Gov. Hanly
favors the election of Representative
Branch, of Martinsville, to the speak
ership. While Mr.. Branch takes 1t
for granted that the matter is settled,
and that he is to be the speaker, Mr..

OCEAN AVAIANCHES

Some of the Great Engulhng Waves
OF the GIutton Sea.
There is one consolation about the
two great earthquakes which destroyed
respectively the two great cities OF
San Francisco and Valparaiso, anG
that is that they raised no seismic
waves to speak of.
This was because the earth tremors
were wholly on land and did not ex.
tend beneath the bed of the ocean. II
is when this latter eventually happens
that these terrible waves are created
causing widespread havoc.
For instance, it was this kind o,
ocean avalanche that engulfed Lisbon,
with $4,000 of its inhabitants, in 1865,
and in 1883 a submarine earthquake
started in the straits of Sunda q SO

eled twice around the globe and drown
ed $4,000 people.
In 1891 again a submarine earth
quake threw up a wall of water seven.
ty feet high and more than 300 miles
in length, which overwhelmed the
greater portion of the Nippon islands.
On this occasion $4,000 houses were
swept away and 10000 people lost
their lives.
Worse still was a huge wave which
in 1868 wiped out of existence in a few
minutes the cities of Arequipa, IQui-

BIG ATTENDANCE TONIGHT
1T is EXPECTED THAT BARRING
SATURDAY NIGHT THE LARG-
EST CROWD OF THE WEEK
WILL TURN OUT.

Despite the heavy downpour of rain
last night. there was over FIVE hund
red paid admissions to the Elk's fair
which is in full blast at the Coliseum
The antlered herd realized that they
were up against the weather and they
doubled their efforts to please the
faithful who endured the rain and
journeyed to the scene of the festiv-
tiles.
One of the most noticeable features
of the whole affair, is the way in
which people are hurried to the diff
erent booths. 1t is not done by the
elk'S, who are over eager for people
to buy, but when the visitors first
step inside the enchanted circle
they are whirled about the floor by
the push and hustle of the large
crowd, which is always eager to pur-
chase the many things that are off
cred.
The country store still remains the
center attraction, the genial custodi-
ans of the same, are kept hustling
from the time the first 'bally hoo'er"
announces that the fair is in full
blast, until the last wee dime is count
ed after the evenings business is
transacted.
1t is said that over $500 was taken
in Monday night while the receipts
last night ran up to almost $500.
With weather conditions favorable,
it is expected that the fair will do
the largest business of the week to-
night, with Saturday night probably
excepted.
