FIRST ENGINE TO
GO OVER HILL

The first locomotive to make the
trip over the Summit is now at
Hobart Mills and is on the retired
list as far as active service is con-
cerned. The old locomotive was
purchased from the Southern
Pacific company by the Sierra
Nevada Wood & Lumber company
in 1900. This company intended
t. run it to do switching in the
lumber yard, but it proved of no
use for that purpose.
superintendent Sheridan of the
Southern Pacific and j. II. Snail
of the same company have recently
been taking an interest in the old
locomotive. 1t was formerly
named Judah" and Was on the
run between Sacramento and
Folsom.
Later ii was , sed to pull Senator
Stanford's pay car over the line
Of the company. The locomotive
was built by the Vulcan Iron
Works in 1865. The plate on the
head end reads Vulcan Iron
Works o. c. 1865" The forward
wheels are stamped &C. =. X. r.,
1864" and were evidently cast in
Sacramento.
This is said to be the first loco
motive to cross the summit Of the
Sicrras. Except as a relic it is Of
no value.
Suggestions have been offered
by several that the Southern
Pacific company should secure
this old enigne and pl CO it south
Of their depot or between the
passenger and freight depot 20

POPULAR LEGISLATION
BY CLOSE VOTES

A majority Of twenty in a state
wide election certainly does not
Indicate any conclusive public
opinion on the question submitted
to q popular referendum. The
vote in Maine on the releal of the
constitutional provision in favor
of revision appears to have been
SO close that if ten ballots had
been cast the other way there
would have been a tie. The Maine
majority was .00016 per cent of
the total vote.
This is sailing very rear to the
wind. A referendum. it is true,
is the usual method whereby state
constitutions arc amended; and
even the slightest majority is
decisive in law. In the case Eof
proposed amendments, however,
there would have been required
in most of the states a discussion
and passage of the same by the
Legislature. and in many states
by two successive legislatures. In
the adoption of general law by
referendum, which practice ia now
followed in several states and is
extending, there is no safe guard
ing whatever against precipitate
action. A majority of one vote
in total poll of a million might
impose i'll considered and unwisc
legislation on popuIous state
and against such legislation the
VETO power of the governor would
be Ineffective Philadelphia

TO TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS
Two Methods That Resist In Pictures

Steel Enoravinqs.

Here is way to take impressions
of plants which will resemble steel en-
cravings. Two Of them. in fact: take
your choice.
The first method Is to take half q
sheet OF fine woven paper and cover
its surface with sweet oil: let II stand
moment or two. rub of the super.
huous oil and hang 1t in the air. When
1t Is fairly dry. move 1t slowly over
the flame Of a candle. lamp or gas
burner (caution) until II is quite
black. lay the plant or leaf on II,
place a clean piece of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for
about half minute: then take up the
plant and place It on the paper on
which 1t Is desired to leave an impress.
sion. Cover II with a piece of blot
ting paper and rub as before The
engraving-like impression will then
appear
BY the second method. burn a COM
mon cork until 1t Is reduced to a
powder. add teaspoonful of olive oil
and mix into u thick paste Next
paint the under side OF the leaf with
a cameFs hair brush. lay the leaf care
fully, painted side down, upon piece
of clean paper. press II in a book un.
der strong and even weight for
about quarter Of an hour and remove
lie leaf carefully from the paper As
before. the impression will appear

Baseball enthusiasts will enjoy their
first real treat of the season next Wed
nesday and Thursday when the Fort
Pierce team will cross bats with the
aggregation of ball players from Miami.
That the local games will be close and
hard fought is assured from the show
ing made by the home team when they
invaded the Seminoles' home town last
week and fought them to standstill
for ten hot innings.
Since then the Fort Pierce Club has
been materially strengthened, and be-
fore next Wednesday it is anticipated
that Earl Price, the crack drst-sacker
of the Florida University nine. will
have signed with the locals.
Price is also one Of the best amateur
pitchers in the state and is scheduled
to pitch the second game against the
scalpers, the first game to be looked
after by Jesse Tucker, who made mon
keys OF them last woek.
Mcdonnell, the coach Of the local
team, will also be in upiform for the
first time this year, aud his great field
ing and heavy stick work is expected
TO add much TO the playing OF the In
dian River squad.
Miami Will pitch McDonough, the
