Peruna is not beverage nor bitters,

There is a great demand for tonics
during the depressing heat of summer,

weather is very prevalent.
Such q demand Ia exactly met BY

MANY ENGINES NARROWED.
More Trouble Found After the Big
Meadow Valley Flood.

San Bernardino, Cal, Feb. 22.--It is
said that the Investigations of en-
gineers since the Meadow Valley hood
have revealed the fact that the road
bed is not damaged as severely as was
first supposed, although the canyon is
deeply filled with ice and snow, COW
ering the tracks. The route was orig
inaliy adopted because it was the
shortest and the officials. it is said,
are even now loath to abandon it for
another Other routes which have
been examined are said not to appeal
to the company.
A strong argument advanced for the
construction of a temporary line along
the same course is the fact that much
motive power and rolling stock could
be then rescued, which would other
wise be necessarily abandoned. In ad-
dision to the entire train of the Los
Angeles Limited and freight train,
there are % locomotives it is said,
marooned. The most of these are at

HUNDRED POUND STEEL RAILS

The Rock Island lines have decided
upon the laying Of 100-pound steel

Improvement. There are now being
rolled enough rails to lay 113 miles,
which will be begun at once. The
laying of steel rails weighing 100
pounds to the yard is regarded as a
long step in the direction of absolute
safety in railroading- With rails so
heavy and SO made as to make them
unbreakable, the danger of trains leav-

One of the main reasons making 1t
necessary to rebuild railroads with this
heavy steel is the massive locomotives
and weighty cars now In use in the
passenger service. Each year has
brought its improvement in passenger
cars, every move adding to the COM

has brought heavier cars, as steel has

Although western railroads and
several of the trunk lines report SLOW
movement of freight and heavy ran
ing off in the number OF cars moveu,
resulting in blockades and CONCESSIONS
during the month of January. the ERIE
comes out with a report of operating
efficiency that seems very snort OF De

The Erie figures give total OF 59l',
344 loaded and empty cars nanoieo
over the several divisions during the
month, an increase of 72,224, OF Wnlcn
7O.S79 were loaded cars. The cars
loaded at stations and received loaoeu
from connections increased 22,457.
The extraordinary thing In connec-
ton with this increased movement
which will bring the earnings up 10
a normal standard, is that during jan
nary a total snowfall of IL feet was
recorded. the heaviest for many years;
The explanation for such unusual
efficiency is found in the superior con-
dition at the present time of the Er1e's
motive power and utilization to the
fullest extent of facilities which nave

The company has spent large sums on
both engines and cars and the wisdom
of such OUTLAWS is borne out by the
January operating results. The Erie

Increase in Factor of Safety Amounts
to 1876 Per Cent.
The interstate commerce commission
has issued figures relating to railroad
accidents due to coupling and uncou-
ping of cars. as showing beneficial
results of the operation of the safe
ty appliance law. The figures show
that in 1893 the number of men en-
ployed in coupling and uncoupling cars
in the United States was 349 for each
man killed in the service, while in
1908 the number employed for each
man killed was 983, an increase in the
factor of safety amounting to 1876
per cent.
The number employed for each one
injured in the coupling of cars in
1898 was IS, while in 1908 the num-
Der was 60. an increase in the factor
cerned. of 1862 per cent
The number of killed for each thou
sand employed in 1898 was three, and
but one in 1908, showing a decrease in
the hazard of railroad employment
amounting to 66.67 per cent. The num-
Der injured for each thousand en-
ployed in the service in 1893 was II;
in 1908 it was 16. decrease in this
hazard amounting to 1922 per cent.
The department has issued tables on
railroad accidents from all causes, and
in this report shows that while deaths
and injuries to trainmen in all acct
dents other than coupling have stead
lily increased, the deaths and injuries
to trainmen from coupling accidents
have progressively decreased.

TOO LARGE FOR THE TUNNELS
Express Cars That Cost 100000 VIII

Denver, Feb 22.-The Adams Elk
press company. after negotiations
which have been under way for two
years. has closed contracts for the in
auguration of through express cars be-
tween New York City and Denver and
this service will start today. The cars
will operate over the Burlington and
Pennsylvania systems and will cut the
New York-Denver time to "a hours.
Six big express cars, built by the
Burlington at a cost of over 100000,
to be used in this service, can not be
placed in operation because they were
made too large to pass through the
Pennsylvania tunnel in New York
City. The cars will be rebuilt, and
meantime the Pennsylvania equipment
will be used into Denver. c. M. Day,
agent for the Adams in Denver, is
given the credit for the Inauguration
of the service. which will prove to be
of great benefit to the entire western
territory reached from Denver.

RACE IN RAILROAD BUILDING.
Gould and Hartman Interests are
Scrambling for Right of Ways.

Denver. Feb. 22.-The Goulds and
the Southern Pacific interests are re.
ported as ready to engage in a most
determined construction race from
New Mexican points toward Durango
contending for a right of way north
from Pennington to the San Juan me
tropolis and for a monopoly on the
coal output in that vicinity.
Word reached Denver that the
Southern Pacific has completed all IT'S
SURVEYS north from Gallup and that 1t
is ready to begin building toward
Pennington in the near future. Thls
project has been under way for some
time and rights Of way and terminals
have been secured all along the pro-
posed line
In addition to this comes the report
that the Goulds have purchased con-
troll of the New Mexico Central. which
they will extend from Albuquerque to
Roswell and from there to Durango.
It is said the Goulds are planning a
line from the gulf to the Pacific coast
and that they will connect the Texas,
Pacific with the New Mexican Central
from Roswell Then from Durango
they are to use the Rio Grande to
Grand Junction and connect with the
main line to Salt Lake where the
western Pacific will form the connec-
ton to the coast.

NOT FOR RAILROADS.

E. o. Faulkner, manager of the tie
and timber department of the Santa
Fe, with headquarters at Topeka, has
written a valuable and interesting ar
ticle for the Railway and Engineering
Review in which he discusses the in
ternational problem of the relation be-
tween the railroads and forestry work.
The following extract concerning his
Ideas of government and state control
of timber lands will interest every rail-
TOAD man in the country:
f Recently Mr.. PiEchot called a meet
ing of railroad officials soliciting their
cooperation. and showing that in the
planting of trees for a future timber
supply. satisfactory financial results
would be obtained in so years or per-
haps less. The expressed opinion of
two presidents Of leading railway sys-
lens was that under present conditions,
while willing TO cooperate as they were
able, it was not possible for railroads
generally to raise money for the pur-
pose of buying lands ard planting them
to trees, for tie supply in the distant
future, While needing all the capital oh
teinable for present necessities; and
that in their opinion it was a work for
the government to take hold of.
This seems to have been the expert
ence abroa and the sooner we real
fze that fact the better. 1t may be said
that conditions are different in this
country as regards the separate auth
ority and duty of the federal and state
government To some extent this *
true, but scarcely such as to prevent
their joint cooperation for the general
good. The federal government spends
large sums yearly in improving and de-
Veloping waterways within state
boundaries.
Through the reclamation service it
has impounded water for irrigation
purposes and il is now proposed that
q large sum be raised by bonds for the
