CONSIDERING ELECTRICITY
Southern Pacifie May Use II On Noun
tain Grades.

Southern Pacific May Use II On Noun
tain Grades.
San Francisco, Sept The South
ern Pacific is seriously considering the
use of electric power to take the heavy
freight and passenger trains over
the steep grades Of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. Electric power can be
easily installed, according to the pre-
liminary reports. to do the work, with
an increase over the present speed OF
the trains of about 100 per cent. The
best speed the powerful locomotives
now hauling the freight cars can at
tain over the steep grades is eight miles
an hour, and sometimes three locomo-
tives have to be attached to attain
this. 1t is understood that the new
electric power will take the cars over
the grades at a minimum rate of fif
teen miles an hour.
It is proposed by the Southern Pa
ci6c to do away with some of the hard
est grades by the use of tunnels which
will be bored in the vicinity of
Truckee.
If the proposed improvements are
made it is estimated that the cost of
hauling the trains will be cut in half
and the freight carrying capacity OF
the road over the summit of the Sier-
ras will be almost doubled.

Shows Route of Milwaukee From Glen
ham West to Butte.
Seattle, Sept. 3.-From the Office of
b. R. Williams. president of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
Company in Washington, official maps
were issued Saturday showing the ex-
act route to be followed by the road
from Glenham to Butte. From Butte
west and from Puget SQUAD east the
construction is to be pushed just as
rapidly as money and men can do it
The scarcity of labor has been some
what of hindrance, but surprising
progress is being made.
Continuing west from Butte, it is
credibly stated, the line will practi-
cally parallel the Northern Pacific to
point west of Missoula and thence
through the Bitter Root mountains to
the headwaters of the St Joseph river.
The route follows down the st. Joseph
river from the Idaho line to a point
below Ferrell or st. Joe, Idaho; then
goes on to Tekoa, Wash, passing along
to Rosalia and along the south side Of
Rock Lake, then reaching Lind, on
the Northern Pacific. From Lind the
survey practically follows the old
Northern Pacific cutoff to Ellensburg.
The contract for practically all the
line west has been awarded and con-
struction work is we'll under way in
many localities. The only portion Of
the construction work in the west for
which no contract has been signed is
between the Columbia river and e.
lensburg, and that is just the same as
signed, rs it will also be let to 81. G.
Henry, who is doing the greater part
of the construction work for the Pa
cific coast extension.

MAY REDUCE VALUES
FOR STATE IAXA1I0N

Olympia, Sept. 5.-The state bc.,s
of equalization began a three waa .a
sessiGn yesterday with State And;tos
Claussen as chairman and Ed Co~
en-. of Seattle as secretary.
Spokane, Chelan and Colnnb;.
counties were heard. The Spok.na
county returns showed an increase j.
valuation of 10000 over l.s.
year; Columbia $4,000, 900. The rem
resentatives of all three counties az
pressed themselves as satisfied with
the returns, provided the other copr
ties show corresponding increase.
Judging from the questions pro.
pounded to those who appeared before
the board yesterday and from expires.
sions by the members of the board last
evening, it is the present desire and
intention to make a uniform reduction
of valuation for the purposes of state
taxation sufficient to raise about the
same amount of taxes as last year for
school purposes.
Would Provide Too Much Money
The law fixes an arbitrary five mill
levy for common school purposes until
the sum of $40 for each school child
in the state is realized. 1t appears 70
be the unanimous opinion of the mem.
bers of the board that such levy on
the valuation as returned this year
would raise more money than is need
ed for the schools. The result of re-
ducing the valuations would only
affect the state tax, the county boards
of equalization having already ap-
proved the valuation for purposes of
county taxation. Unless unexpected
opposition develops the scheme above
outlined will probably be carried out
at the conclusion of the hearing.
In the event Of the reduction in val
uations above outlined. the state gen.
eral fund levy would probably be in
creased from two and half mills to
three mills, which is the maximum
under the law.
