General Manager E. e. Calvin last
year sent out an instruction car, which is
now on its way to this city. having
since last October covered the entire
system of the Southern Pacific. This
car is in line with the policy OF the
general manager to instruct employees
in the operation of their trains. The
car is In charge of Mr.. Nichols, who
is lecturer for the department of In
struction for dispatchers. With him
are w. III. Pitts of Oakland and ]. S.
Moore of Fresno, who instruct the en-
,gineers.
This instruction is organized as care
fully as college course. The car has
completely equipped schoolroom At

E. T. Mix is a railroadman who
never plays joke on his fellow man,
and thinks he should be immune from
the practical joker.
He said one day that he and his
family really needed a warm climate
to regain their health. He was ad-
vised to try Fresno and was instructed
to write to Fulton G. Berry for a warm,
sunny room with southerly exposure.
He would be down on the night train,
he said.
Berry had the rooms thoroughly
warmed all day, and when Mix and his
family arrived and were ushered into
the room they thought they were being
inducted into the bakehouse instead.
Is this warm enough for your"
asked Jean. I'VE were advised from
San Francisco that the rooms should
be as hot as possible, as you were ex-
ceedingly particular"
DO you want to kill us?" cried Mix
as he darted from the room and sought
the shelter Of the porch. Don't be sur
prised If you hear of me being ar
rested for murder in San Francisco"

Gossip of RaiIwaymen

All eyes in the Transportation club
are turned upon Victor NJ Smith. traf-
fic manager, chief engineer. auditor and
travelling freight and passenger agent
of the South San Francisco Belt rail-
way. 1t is remembered that when
Thornwell Mutually offered to play the
baseball club of the Transportation
club a return match for $500 the rail-
roadmen were mute. Even the gal
liant General George G.. Fraser, who
had up s100, and spent breathless
two weeks till the game was played
and won, was silent.
But ''Vic" Smith, was he silent? No!
He Jumped into the silence and took up
the bold bet of the brave Mutually.
Is Mullally's $500 up?
Has Mullally made good?
These are the questions agitating the
members of railroad clubdom.
"Vic" Smith, since he has seen Eddie
Romeroy on his return from Denver, is
willing to raise the sum to an even
$1,000. He is confident that the rail-
road boys will make the United Rail-
roads team look like bush leaguers.
The game is to come off next Satur-
day at Freeman's park, Oakland. and
after the game there will be beef
steak dinner.
A meeting of the officials of the
maintenance and way department of
the Hartman lines has been called In
Denver tomorrow. The Southern Pa
cifc will be represented at this con-
vention by w. w. Slater, signal engi-
neer; r. NJ. Drake, engineer of main
tenance and way of the northern dis
trict, and c. w. Hilton, chief clerk of
the maintenance and way office at Oak
land pier. The object of the meeting
is to discuss common standard track,
roadway standards, also common stand
ards with signals.
Supplement so, eastbound tariff No.
8, E, has been rejected by the inter-
state commerce commission because of
a clerical error in the minimum carload
weight provided for sugar. This will
throw out the entire supplement and is
especially distasteful to the sugar fac
tories of the Pacific coast, as it post
pones the date effective of the 55 cent
rate which was allowed recently, and
restores the rate of so cents, which be-
came effective July 10.
The sugar interests are bitter against
the interstate commerce commission
for permitting technicality of this
kind to interfere with the immediate
publication of the reduced rate on SUI
gar.
II simply came here to tell you,'
said an irate .sugarman to a railroad
man yesterday, 'that neither you nor
the interstate commerce commission

city TO extend the water mains 80
that they can be reached by people
living in all parts of the town, and
that they may enjoy the protection
against fire which other more
favored portions of the town enjoy'
They are told that they can band
together and put in mains, and
that the city will exempt them from
water tax until the amount they
eXpend for these mains is consumed
in that way. But many OF these
people are not able to pay their
water tax five or six or ten wears

one enterprise to the needs Of the
town before branching out on
another If the municipal lighting
plant is established, its limitations
may be as contracted as those of
the water works, and the people
may be told that if they want to
light their residences beyond this
limit they will have to put up lines
at their own expense to connect
with the main wires.
