Hundred Yards on Ties


The passengers on the FIRST section
OF No. 10, the westbound Southern
Pacific passenger, had a most fortu.
nate escape this forenoon, says the
Tucson Citizen.
But for the rarest good fortune. the
train would have been ditched and .
bad wreck would have resulted. The
passengers did not learn OF the dan.
ger until 1t was all past.
The train, which carries a number
OF sleepers was bowling along at a
good rate Of speed beyond Pantano.
As the train was a heavy one, two
engines were used to take 1t to Mescal
Summit. The front engine suddenly
without apparent cause, jumped the
track.
The engine bowled along over the
ties. making big dents and swaying
violently. Bith engineers. with quick
presence of mind, applied the air and
brought the train to q standstill after
q hundred yards had been covered
with n engine running on the ties.
That the derailed engine did not turn
over and cause a bad wreck is cOnsil
cred almost miraculous

orange shipments from California
Orders have just been given Tor 600
additional refrigerator cars Of the
latest design. 800 for each roa0, for
early delivery, in addition to 5000
now In service. The new cars will
be forty-two feet long. will weigh
IS, 1000 pounds and have a capacity
Of 2,467 cubic feet.
Last year something over 10000
cars Of oranges came out Of CalifOr'
ma. This year It Is believed that the
crop will exceed $4,000 carloads, as
the acreage has been materially in
creased during the last twelve n. )nths.
improvements in the method cf grow
ing this fruit In the last year or two
have resulted In increasing the quality
and quantity, and 10Y California
oranges have the call in the markets
Of the world.
Distribution Of the California or.
ange crop Is dictated by the F.nit
Growers association. A car OF train
load Of oranges starting from Los
Angeles or San Francisco. destined TO
Chicago. may be delivered to st. Louis
or Minneapolis or run through to New
York, or to some other point, the
ultimate destination OF all shipments
being controlled by the market. When
a shipment leaves California the 40
mand may be Chicago, but before the
train has reached the Missouri river
the Chicago market may be glutted
with oranges, while there may be
a famine In the fruit In st. Paul, Kan
sas City or st. Louis. T~elegraphic
orders quickly divert the shipment

suit that an aggregate increase OF

the step represents an increase of
five cents a day to the section men
and ten cents to the foremen. The
advance means that the section men
will get from $1.40 to $1.55 a day and
the track foremen from $3.50 to $40
and the bridge foremen from $3.50 to
