There are about one hundred and twenty five
city and county courts in Georgia, and every one
of them that have been st lblished as long:1 three
years, and have been made to do service for some
local peanut politician who seeks office on some
issue that will, for the time obscure his real
merits or dement's. In some counties the court
has been established abolished and re-established
so often that it has become a matter Of rdcule.
Fitzgerald city court bill was framed after one of
the best and most satisfactory in the state, but, if
the people want it amended or changed, alright;
but if the politicians want to use it as hobby
horse, it is quite different matter.

north of the Southern Pacific and al

the Western Pacific runs somewhat
south of east until 1t crosses the South
ern Pacific at Palisade. in Nevada.
Thence it is always to the south of the
older road, running in nearly straight
line to Salt Lake City. Just west of
the state line between Nevada and Utah
lies the great Flower Lake Pass tun-
mel. so named, apparently, because
there is no lake there. Before reaching
1t the road strikes the Dele pipe line,
which brings water from the noun
tains to supply the locomotives. From
the eastern end of this mile-long tun-
mel. on which occurs the highest eleva-
ton of the line. the road dips down into
the great Salt Lake desert, and runs
eastward to Salt Lake City. On this
section occurs what is probably the
longest stretch of straight and level

nance. For the greater part Of it's
course on the north fork the railroad
follows the left bank of the rushing
stream. The old Indian trail followed
the right bank. Naturally one would
expect that the railroad, too, would fol-
low 1t instead of the Uther where, be-
fore it came, passage was impossible
even for man on foot. But in these
gulches and canyons the snow may
vary many feet on the two sides, and
so the Western Pacific looking for a
snow-free route, chose the sunny side.
Far up in the Sierras the line leaves
the northward bearing north fork to
follow its east branch, and finally in
Plumas county to cross to the middle
fork and thus eastward. Here valley

Above Mohawk valley. in a territory of
SURPRISING richness and beauty, the
line crosses to the middle fork to follow

lies the crux of the engineering prob
lem, which has been solved by turning
the railroad back upon Itself in a mile
long loop, and then taking it through a
1901 foot tunnel. BY this loop develop
ment work. as it is called. some fifty
feet in elevation Is gained. the road lit

Problem of Drainage.
One of the great problems TO be
solved in this country of swelling and
shrinking streams is that of drainage
the question of successfully disposins
of the water rushing down the noun
tain sides n such a way as to protect
the roadbed. In the past. as every tray
eler knows, these streams have been
carried Directly under the roadbed
through culverts or similar construc-
ton. But on the Western Pacific, with
permanency and safety always in mind
a new method has been employed, in
genious in its conception. Instead Of
carrying straight down the devastat-
ing mountain streams with their inn
pinging heads which more often thar
anything else bring washouts and con-
seqIent losses. the engineers have
evolved a new practice. The water is
still carried under the roadbed, as il
runs along the mountain side. but in g
new way. In the first place it is d.
verted, that is, carried to one side be,
