Fights of cen on every pound of
beet sugar produced within the

Vsome of the other states have done
to encourage this industry. AS. a
general principle we are opposed
to taxing the people toIpay bounties

in this case the industry is so full

BAND ADDS INSTRUMENTS
OF MARVELLOUS DESIGN
Pair of Tympani Form Latest Addi-
tion to Equipment For Produc-
ing Strange Noises.

Director 7. S. Grant, in order to
still further increase the range of
harmony in the renditions of the
Dallas band, and to be prepared to
execute some Of the more difficult
and dramatic compositions wherein
untamed thunder storms and other
incorrigible and warning elements are
reproduced for the delectation of the
human ear, has added a pair of tym-
PAM to the bands equipment. They
were bought of the Stockwell Music
store, and are on exhibition there.
In common everyday English, tym-
PAM are nothing more than kettle
drums, and as everybody knows
who ever directed a band, a kettle
drum is a-kettle-drum, and two of
them are a pair.
At first glance, kettle-drum looks
like a family-sized chatting dish, but
ON more intimate examination it re-
sembles exactly the huge copper re-
ceptacle that your Aunt Elizabeth |
used to make apple butter in, over a
fire in the back yard, near the old
pear tree that Bobbie fell out Of the
year that the barn caught fire. The
kettle drum differs from the apple
butter kettle to the extent that the
former has a rawhide cover whereon
The trap drummer in a band beats

much oftener as he feels is justifable

Fire Losses Heavy.

The lookout station is equipped
with powerful spy-glass and a
eharted map of the sheds, and at the
first sign of fire the lookout is able to
direct the Cisco station to the imme-
diate location. During the four
years mentioned above, fires within
the snow-sheds have cost the South
ern Pacific company $1S6,262.17.
The officials estimate that it would
cost more than two and quarter
million dollars to replace these sheds,
should they be destroyed by fire at
any time.

SNOW SHEDS EXPENSIVE
Southern Pacific Spends Big Fortune
to Protect Traffic in Sierra Nevada
Mountains.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-
Thirty-fve miles Of snow-sheds over
the summit of the Sierra Nevada
mountains, costing an average OF
$203,615 each year to maintain and
to protect from fires, is the record
shown from a recent compilation Of
the operating expenses Of this i'm
portant part Of the Southern Pacific
lines. The average of $203,615 was
reached by the use of the operating
expenses for the years 1907, 1908,
1909 and 1910.
On account of fires in the srow-
sheds the annual expense is placed at
$46,565. Renewals on account Of
wear are placed at little more than
$4,000. The repairs to the snow
sheds cost more than $4,000 annu-
ally. They will be much heavier
this year on account of the heavy
storms of last winter. Patroling
and watching the sheds costs $4,000
annually, and $4,000 is set against
the item of fire trains.
Complete Fire Protection.
The Southern Pacific maintains
one of the most complete fire organ
izations in existence for the protec-
tion Of these sheds. Throughout the
entire 35 miles the Gamewell fire
alarm system has been installed, an
alarm box being placed at distances
a little more than mile apart from
one end of the sheds to the other.
First-class fire stations with complete
fire fighting apparatus are maintain
ed at Blue Canyon, Truckee and
and at the first intimation
Of fire these stations are notified
through the alarm system. A fire
train is also maintained at Cisco,
within the sheds, and although Cisco
is not an alarm station the engine
from that point is usually first at the
scene Of blaze, notification being :
'ent by telephone from the lookout {
station on Red Mountain, this look
'ut station commanding the entire
westerly view of the 35 miles of
