The Phoenix Athletics Are in Good
Form and Fully Expect to Win the

The Phoenix Athletics may not win
the baseball game in Prescott tomor-
row. but if they don't, it will be no
fault of their battery and no lack of
general information by way of an OBJ
ject lessen showing how the game
ought to be played. If there is any
thing they did not know about it be-
fore. they had fine chance to pick it
up yesterday in the model game they
witnessed in Tempe. They think now
that they are on to most Of the fine
points and are all ready for the Pres
colt meeting. \ few Of the players

THE DOUBLE TRACKING
OF THE UNION PACIFIC
The Extensive Undertaking by Which
Twelve Hours Are to Be Cut Off
the Running Schedule.

Chicago. June Double track con-
struction on the Union Pacific has
been undertaken this year on a scale
exceeding anything attempted before
in the west. To the rs miles of dou-
bic track in operation between Omaha
and Green River. Wyoming. will be
added nearly 200 miles of second track
now under construction.
The vast undertaking known as the
Lane Cutoff between South Omaha
and Lane, Nebraska. although only IL
miles in length. is the most heroic
feature of the Union Pacific improve
ment program now under way. This
line necessitates three million cubic
yards of roadbed excavation. and calls
for fills of from 100000 to 100000
cubic yards. The cuts are of equally
huge proportions. The largest is a
mile long with an extreme depth Of
81 feet. Two-thirds of the grading is
finished, and the whole undertaking
will be completed this year. The cut
off saves nearly nine miles over the
old main line by way of South Omaha
and Gilmore.
From Lane to Valley double track
ing was completed late last year. This
fall will see the completion of another
big stretch Of double track nearly 80
miles in length, from Valley to Ben
ton. The next big stretches of double
tracking are between Silver Creek and
Lockwood. a distance of IS miles;
Aida TO Buda. % miles. and Rawlins
to Wamsutter. Wyo.. Al miles. BY the
end Of 1907 the Union Pacific will
have continuous double track in op-
Grafton from Council Bluffs to Wat
sons Ranch. near Kearney. a stretch
Of 1874 miles.
When all these improvements are
completed. together with others I'M
der way west of Ogden. it is believed
that with their Omaha and Chicago
connections the Union and Southern
Pacific can still further reduce the
time from ocean to ocean by possibly
y hours. or as much as this route has
already reduced the running time from
Pacific to Atlantic points in the last
eight years.

II the Armament Question Comes Up
at The Hague, the United States
Must Introduce II.

| Berlin. June THE prcliminaries to
The Hague conference have been set
tied to the satisfaction of the en-
peror and foreign office and the meet
ing is awaited with a tranquility that
did not prevail during March. when
some powers were endeavoring to win
diplomatic success over Germany by
seeking to make it appear that Ger
many alone was the enemy of peace
| in wishing to omit the question of ar
mament. The Austro- Hungarian and
Russian governments particularly have
associated themselves with the Ger
man view that the conference may go
| further toward eliminating war by
agreements to extend the peaceful ad-
justments of disputes than by debates
upon the extinction or curtailment Of
ornaments. The British government
which is so active in pressing for
discussion of ornaments IS disposed
now. according to information receiv-
ed at the German foreign office to
drop the subject until the American or
some other government be gotten to
Introduce it. The emperor's instruc-
tons to German delegates. should dis
armament become a subject of discus
sion, are not to take part in the dis
cussion. but note the developments of
the question and report thereon.
The rights of private property at
sea are considered with their related
question to be most important sub
jects to be examined. II is assumed
that the United States will follow its
traditional policy Of affirming that
private property should be immune
from capture. The German govern
ment, with certain limitations is in
sympathy with the American view.
The disclosure of the British and
French positions is awaited with I'M
common interest. The effort of the
German delegates will be to obtain a
definition OF contraband of war so
clear that the subject may be consid-
cred as beyond the possibility of a
dispute in the future.
The Instructions of German dele
gates appear to be in favor Of an
agreement not to begin war by sur
prise but by formal declaration with
sufficient interval before hostilities
to avoid the character of a surprise,

SHOWS GREAT GROWTH.
OF RAILROAD EQUIPMENT
New Locomotives Four Times az Pow
erfuI as the Old to Haul Coaches of
Doubled Capacity.

Chicago, June How great has
of American railroad equipment i:
definitely shown for the first time In
data just compiled by II. j. Small, gen.
eral superintendent of motive power Of
/ the Southern Pacific company. In
I thirty years the standard locomotive
on this company's lines has increased
1850 pounds in weight. That Is
| from 10000 to 4, 800, and now. to 20S,-
600. Tractive power has gone up from
| II, 500 pounds, or much less, to a max
| imum of 1906 pounds for the heavy
consolidated type of engine.
! Beside the locomotive of 1883, which
was taken as a basis Oh comparison
the new engines are overpowering
monsters. but so gradual has been
their growth that the traveller passing
the painting giant at the head of a
train does not realize that the locomo-
tive of this generation is 400 per cent
more powerful than those Of twenty
five years ago.
Comparison of the Southern Pacific's
old and new freight cars and passen-
ger coaches show that an equally great
III Nle SIZE VI IOlllHk SlOth
has been necessary to provide for the
ever-mounting volume of traffic. The
weight of freight cars has increased
from $1,000 to 1900 pounds; their ca
pacity is now 100000 pounds as COM
pared to the 10000 pound cars of a few
years ago, and in length the freight
car has grown from q feet to 40 feet.
Travellers as much as shippers have
benefited by the enlargement of roll
ing stock. In % years coaches have
been widened feet and heightened
over 26 feet. Seating capacity of
coaches has been increased from % to
30, and the height of coaches on the
Hartman lines has grown from 10 feet
3 inches to II feet inches. Weight of
coaches, which is the gauge of safety.
has been multiplied four times. re-
ducing vibration and providing more
room and greater comfort.
The increase in car capacity on the
Southern Pacific and other lines means
that their carrying efficiency has been
much more than the actual
OF new cars indicates

BRYCE is A DINER.

In the short time he has been here
Ambassador Bryce has attended q
larger number of formal dinners than
any other representative of a foreign
power. In addition to these dinners he
dimes out with friends several times a
week. He eats with a bountiful ap-
petite and seems to relish everything
with no annoyances about Indigestion.
When Sir Mortimer Durand returned
to London 1t was gossiped about that
his government was displeased with
him because he was not as close TO the
White House as the German and
French ambassadors. Ambassador
Bryce not only is on the best of terms
with the president apparently, but he

To change is to substitute one
thing for another; to alter is to
make some difference in one thing
or person. Those persons are
changed whose features we cannot
recognize after a lapse of time;
those persons are altered whom
we have difficulty in recognizing.
To change dress is to take one
off and put another one on; to al
ter a dress is to make it in some
respect different. We change our
opinions when we give up old and
adopt new ones; we alter our opin-
