The members of the board of edu-

Gossip Of RaiIwaymen

The Southern Pacific reports 7S6 col
onists during the first four days of
March westbound via Ogden and Ell
Paso. Indications are that most OF
these are land seekers. Few mechanics
and Iaborers are coming west this
spring. The reduced rates will be in
effect during March and April. The
size of the movement compared with
previous years will not be determinable
for at least 80 days. Bad weather has
interfered somewhat with initial move
ment.
S. F. Booth has been appointed gem
eraI agent of both freight and passen-
ger departments of the Union Pacific
railroad, with headquarters at AZ Pow
ell street. His former position was
general agent of the passenger depart
ment only.
IA. o. Wilson, heretofore general
agent of the freight department in San
Francisco, will go to Los Angeles as
general agent of both departments
with jurisdiction over southern CAL
ifornia Booth will have jurisdiction
over northern California.
The citizens of Santa Cruz are anx-
ious that the work on the tunnal
through the Santa Cruz mountains
should be completed in time for this
seasons travel, in order that they may
be in close communication with San
Francisco and provide entertainment
for the bluejackets and others who ap-
preciate the million dollar attractions
along the water front.
The new line via Los Altos and Los
Gatos is less than 80 miles from San
Francisco and will be finished to Los
Gatos in about six weeks. The mileage
of the old narrow gauge road was about
the same and the distance via Pajaro is
120 miles, the latter being en- route
which will have to be used until the
mountain line is opened by the South
ern Pacific.
D. w. Johnston, who is one of the
foremost advocates of improved COM
munication, explains it this way: You
board the train at Santa Cruz, where
there is a sign post saying eighty
miles to San Francisco. You ride
about an hour or an hour and a half,
look out of the window at Gilroy and
observe that you are 81 miles from San
Francisco which is almost inducement
enough to make you tender the con-
ductor some extra fare on account of
having boarded the wrong train in the
wrong direction"
Johnston thinks it does not make
mcuh difference what time you leave
Santa Cruz. but that it is rather hard
on people going to see that city's at
fractions being on the road so long.

AFFAIRS IN IOWA.

The passing of Allison will comp1i-
cate matters in Iowa politics. There
has been fight to the death between
the factions. Yesterday Cummins
was regarded as whipped dog-no
longer able to muster any hope He
has in the last year been after
the senate-and almost forced Allison
out. However, it was left to the peo-
pie and the people were overwhelm-
ingly for Allison at the primaries.
Those who remember the desire of
the administration for Senator Dolli-
yer to take the second place on the
national republican ticket can hardly
appreciate the connection it stirred in
Iowa politics. The people thought it
would mean Cunmins for the senate.
If the place were made vacant Now
we have the place open.
Notwithstanding the fact that Cum
Minis is reported to have played false
with his two heutenants and pushed
them both into the race for governor.
so that he could have two chances to
land the senatorship in event of ALI
sons death. there is reason to doubt
whether the move will gain him any
thing. Both his former lieutenants
have pledged themselves not to help
Cummins. Cummins has played in
phenomenal luck so far and we NAV
expect a battle royal in Iowa.
