Rush Construction Work

Construction work on the San Diego and Yuma Railroad is making satisfactory headway, according to a statement made yesterday by Chief Engineer E. J. Kallright.
 "The entire line is surveyed from San Diego to Yuma, and with the exception of a few slight changes to be made down near the Mexican. line, the route is satisfactory" Engineer Kalt right stated.
 Engineer KalIright now spends much of his time on the work, where Sherer & Co.'S grading gangs are making the dirt fly.
 "The work of the contractors has so far proven highly satis- factory" he ,said. Rapid pro gross is being made on all parts of the road where the contract ors have men and teams at work. We have nothinS further to re- port save that the presence of a small location party near the Mexican line is the only hin drance to the entire route being open for the right of way agents who have that matter in hand. :"
 It is understood that the se- curing of way through the Mexi- can territory is also progressing favorably. A goodly portion of the contracts have already been signed up. On account of the extra time required 10 transact legal business in Mexico slower progress has been made on that portion of the line.
 With precision and regular ity of action equal to the motion of the most delicateEy construct ed sewing machine the giant [ steam shovel is pushing it's way through the first cut on the new San Diego and Yuma Railroad, which begins at the bluff on the south side of the Sweetwater valley.

10000 Ties to
 Conc by Water

All of the material to be used in the construction Of the San San Diego 6 Yuma Railway be
 tween San Diego and Tia Juana has been ordered. It amounts in all to something over 100 car loads, consisting of 90 cars of rails, 30 of track fasteningS, and some 10000 ties. The latter, however, will be delivered by water with the bridge timbers and piling, comprising eight to ten full cargoes.
 According to an official state ment made yesterday by Vice President and Managing Director William Clayton, all of the ma terial for the first division of the San Diego and Yuma Railway has been ordered. The first di- vision runs from San Diego to Tia Juana, Mexico. The termi- nus of the road will be at Yuma, where direct eastern will be had. Mate rial to be used on construction work on the Mexican side of the boundary will be ordered and as soon as right of way matters are satisfactorily settled. According to the agents this will not be later than two months hence.

CROPS AND MsREEfs.

The crops selected for the season of 1906 were Early Rose pc'.ttueS, " hite Bermuda onions Rockyford cantaiOupes, Dwarf tfham- pi0n and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes, and alfalfa, besides few hills of watcrIr1eIOnS and SUEdry vegetables.
 The pT0dRcc was marketed in Yuma with the exception of tomatoes, which, for the largest part, were expressed to Tucson fad BSbCe. The following StatamcntS for the various crops are on the basis of net cash le- turns tu the small farmer, who with al. aver age family of five and a team of horses is as- sumcd to do the work required. as explained below. Items neceSSitating cash outlay, aS seed, irrgating water and crates are deducted from gross returns. Water costs an average of 30 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops grown. The yields in certain instances are low, due to the unimproved condition of the soil which, like desert soils in ger-ial, was tow iR nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.

Developments.
The actual novelties in locomotive
design in the last year are comparatively
few, though tho number OF interesting
designs is considerable; but. according
to Casters Magazine. the main features
Of the worlds locomotive practice in 1905
may be briefly reviewed as follows:
l.. The extensive introduction Of pacific
locomotives in France and the initial
introduction thereof in England and
Germany, both of the latter, however
being really toward the close Of 1907,
though usually associated with 1905.
?. The extensive introduction and de-
yelopment OF articulated locomotives in
the United States and the construction
Of such locomotives by British and Amer
lean firms for use in other countries.
8. The somewhat extensive building OF
locomotives OF moderate dimensions for
use on railways already using larger
engines, these smaller engines in some
cases nearly or exactly corresponding in
design with engines built some years
ago or being Developments OF such de-
signs. This has occurred particularly in
Great Britain, but Is also characteristic to
some extent OF Continental railways.
4. The extension Of the use Of super
heating apparatus.
s. The Introduction Of several new
wheel arrangements and OF at least one
engine which Is a very radical departure
from usual methods OF design.
