WATCHES MUST
BE ACCURATE

Does your watch vary ten seconds
in any twenty-four hours2 Does it
vary thirty seconds in week, whether
in hot or cold weather or if held up
side down or other unusual positionss 2
The watches of the employees of the
Southern Pacific company must show
such a record as the above. At any
time that they may show such varia-
tions they must be regulated. But
this regulation is only part of the
tests that are made of the time pieces
Of the Southern Pacific employees.
Every employe, who in any way
comes in contact with the operation of
trains on the Southern Pacific, be he
superintendent, signal man or section
foreman, is required to own a watch,
so adjusted as to not exceed varia-
tion of ten seconds in any twent-four
hours. The examination of each
mans watch includes the subjecting
of the instrument to a severe test of
temperature and the placing of the
watch in several different positions in
an endeavor to discover a variation.
To be retained in service a watch
must not show a variation of more
than 30 seconds per week. All en-
ployes-the term employees including
officials-are required to have their
time pieces inspected at least four
times year. The watches must be
compared with a regulator every two
weeks and the watch loaned by the
ieweler during repairs must be equal
ly as good as the one being repaired.
The employees of the Southern Pa
cifc company have taken an active in
terest in the stime service' work,
as is manifested in the report Of the
watch inspection for the first quarter
of the present year Within the juris-
diction of E. E. Calvin, vice president
and general manager, 6,223 watches
are regularly inspected. During the
first quarter of 1911 5,632 watches
were compared with standard reguiat-
ors and the general average of the
time kept by these watches shows
record of nearly perfect. The super
intendents of the company subject the
men to discipline if their watches are
not compared and inspected regularly
and the system of watch inspection on
the Southern Pacific is now almost
perfect. Trains meet trains exactly
upon the second at sidings, and ar
rivals and departures are much more
perfect than in former years as is
demonstrated by the recent report of
the general superintendent of the nor
thern district to the effect that for the
week ending June 10, 1911, out of
AGA suburban trains arriving at the
Oakland pier and Alameda mole of the
company. only two failed to connect
with the ferry boats.

HIGHER CLASS RATES
TO THE PACIFIC COAST

It is stated that as a result of the
widespread cut in commodity rates to
points in the far west ordered recent
ly by the interstate commerce com
mission the railroads throughout the
country are now planning to increase
rates on freight to the Pacific coast
cities.
Action on the plan, it is. expected,
will be taken at a meeting to be held
in Chicago August 7th, of traffic and
executive officers of all the transcon-
tinental lines at the headquarters of
the transeontinental freight bureaus.
This step will mean an abandonment
for the present of meeting water com
petition on the Pacific slope so far as
the class rate business is concerned
and, if carried out. will add in very
substantial degree to the revenues of
the rail carriers. Class rates were not
involved in the intermountain cases.

WOMEN ARE SAID TO LIVE
LONGER THAN MEN

Women are called the weaker sex;
but the fact is that when tested by the
length of their life, and by their power
case they are, according to writer
in the Medical Record, physically su-
perior to men.
An English statistician has calculat-
ed that of two children, a boy and a
girl, born on the same day, the boy
will have only seventeen chances
against eleven of living one year,
while the girl will have twenty-one
chances against eleven. From to
Is there appears to be but little diff
ference, but from Is to 10 the boy Will
have 269 chances and the girl 2fI
chances of living against one or
death
This advantage in favor of the fe-
male increases, especially from 80 TO
rs, when the man will have only three
chances of life against one of death,
while the woman's chances will be
much greater
The report of the United States
census bureau on the vital statistics
If this country for the year 1870
shows that Tor every HVe-yeal PoiioN
from birth up to 20 years of age the
'eath rate is much greater among
uaes than among females. From 10
to so the death rate is about equal be-
tween the sexes, but from so to 30
there are about five women living to
four men; from 90 to 100 there are two
women to one man, and after 100 the
proportion of women is still much
greater.-New York Sun.

FOREST FIRE RAGING
IN HILLS NEAR VERDI

A forest fire is raging IN the noun
tains near Verdi. A dangerous feature
of the blaze is that the fire is eating
its way down the hillside and is ap.
preaching a large amount of stored
lumber, worth fortune.
The blaze originated from cinders
that rolled down the mountainside
from a donkey engine that was used
in logging by the Tonopah Lumber
company.
