Gossip Of RaiIwayme1
. .
. . .

At the recent convention of the Road
masters and Maintenance of Way asso-
citation in Milwaukee, the principal
topic of discussion was crossties, and,
judging from the remarks of those who
are qualified TO know, the wood cross
tie eventually Will give way to those
of steel. 1t is claimed that $4,000, 900
wood crossties were purchased by the
railroads this year, and that several
railroad companies, like the Santa Fe,
have had to engage in the business of
making forest preserves to get timber
for their sleepers.
L. r. Laying of the Bessemer and
Lake Erie gave seven different reasons
for preferring steel crossties. and the
last was that ''it costs less labor in
maintaining steel tie track than wooden
tie track. This is not only so on ac-
count OF the track remaining In line
and surface better, but there is also a
material saving in not having to tear
UP a considerable portion of the track
each year to make tie renewals"
Sir" said the stenographer, as she
placed a set of specifications before
one of the engineers of the Western
Pacific, is this right?" and she read as
follows:
Conductors shall be hung from the
rafters with one inch strap"
Yes" There is nothing wrong about
that, is there?" asked the engineer.
Nothing wrong?" she exclaimed.
Let me tell you If that is the manner
in which Gould treats his conductors
in the east, it won't go in California.
That's ALL

III. r. Nickerson, president of the Rio
Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific rail-
road, said in the course of an interview
that his company contemplates making
an extension of it's mileage, which will
be increased about $50 miles. Work
will be begun probably on the first $50
miles of this addition within 80 days.
The other 200 miles will be constructed
later. This road will be extended first
to the timber holdings of the company,
which are large. They are located in
the northern part of the state of Chi
huahua, Mex.
Colonel James l.. Taylor, late spe-
cial agent of the bureau of explosives

series of lectures under the auspices

people. While the lecture is .espe-
cially for railway employees. all ship
pers and others having to deal with
explosives are invited to attend.
On the first of the month the line
from Mendoza to Fresno was added to
the western division. Mendoza as a
terminal has been abandoned, but both
the Fresno station and terminal will
remain under the jurisdiction of the
San Joaquin division. The San Joaquin

mated freight for the west side, which
will be set out at Herman.
