the engine room. She cahhies. in addi-
ton, a crew of thirty-five officers and
men.
The vessel is roomy and is htted up
comfortably. She is electric lighted and
steam heated
She has all modern appliances for han
ding cargoes like the one she now has
aboard. To handle oil cargoes she is
fitted with big pumps that are capable
of taking aboard or discharging many
thousand gallons of oil in a day.
Capt Anderson has been following the
sea since a boy and has commanded
ships trading to American ports for over
quarter of a century. The only fault
he has to find with y Washington is that
n mooring his big ship she nearly pulled
the river front into the river.
It is seldom that the red flag of Great
Britain is seen flying from the stern of
vessel in port here. The big ship is
having numerous visitors, who are COR
daily welcomed by the officers OF the
ship and given every opportunity to look
her over.
When she completes unloading She will
sail for Philadelphia TO load gasoline
naphtha or like oil for French port.

DOUBLE TRACK GRADING DONE.
Permanent Road Bed Being Made by
Santa Fe Near BarstoW.

San Bernardino, Cal, July 2s.-The
work of grading for the double track
from Cottonwood to Daggett on the
Santa Fee will be completed in about
three weeks by Contractor George w.
West, who has a large gang of men
on the big job. In connection with
the work of double tracking this
stretch of track number of curves
and other bad places have been taken
out of the line, so that when the work
is completed much better time can be
made between those two points, and
the roadbed will also be much more
safe than before.
The Santa Fe has had a force of
men following up the graders. laying
the second track and doing other
work, but most of the gang has been
te temporarily moved to the valley d.
vision where important work is under
way. The track work will be resumed
soon, it is expected.
In connection with the double track
ing the railroad also is replacing a
number of the smaller wooden culverts
with reinforced concrete culverts wide
enough for the two tracks. This gives
the work a permanent character and
also avoids danger of fire, which is
sometimes encountered with wooden
structures.
