RAILROAD BUSINESS IS HEAVY

Fifty more mcn arrived yester-
day at the Southern Pacific yards
and were at unce assigned to
their various duties. This looks
as though the company meant Just
exactly what they said when they
stated that the force at work in
the shops would be more than
doubled in a short time. There
arc nov more men employed by
the company than were at work at
the beginning of the dicfiulty and
there are more arriving all the
tine. Sparks would be hard put to
find accommodations for the men
that arc employed in the shops and
there will be q great deal of new
building done when the strike is
over and these men come over
town to secure accommodations for
themselves and in q number of
cases for their families.
Business on the road is still
heavy and the crews have all that
they can do in getting the traffic
over the road. BY the opening Of
Spring when the work trains will
be put into commission, there will
be n big demand for road men and
several that are now working will
be set up.-Srarks Tribune.

DELIVERING BEETS
TO FACTORP

The first wagonload of home
grown beets was received at the
sugar factory the other day. They
were grown by II. j. Cutler. of
the Bailey ranch. and went 1874
ner cent sugar and S6.4 puritv-an
exceptional showing for any
locality. and proving co~nclusively
that this section, as regards soil,
climate and water, is well adapted
to the culture of the beet. A
showing of II per cent sugar is
regarded as pretty good back east.
The carload of beets recently re-
ceived from the Percival ranch at
Reno, however, went even higher
in sugar, testing 1877 saccharine
content.
S. r. Oppenheim who with an
assistant does all the laboratory
work at the factory, is one of the
best men in his line in the West.
He makes a test of every wagon
load of beets that is driven up to
the factory and of every carload
received from the railroad. The
method of making this test is
quite interesting. When the
wagon is driven up to the platform
a fork is plunged into the load of
beets from the side, and the
sample is taken by raising the fork
from the bottom of the wagon.
The fork takes up about 20 pound
OF beets. These are put in a
basket and Tabled, and taken to the
labortory. In making the test a
slice is taken from each beet in the
basket. The test is conclusive by
the time the chemist is through
with his end of the job.
The factory will begin making
sugar some time after the goth
December-the exact late not
being set yet. They are talking
of serving a lunch in celehation of
the occasion to which not only all
the residents Of the valley will be
invited but particularly all the
newspaper men of the state. 1t is
proposed 10 put up 1000 small
souvenir sacks of sugar as
memGntoes of the occasion, labeled
Compliments Of Nevada Sugar
Co.." and distributed to the guests
of the OCCASION.
I'VE are not worrying any about
the future of the sugar industry in
this section" remarked one of the
company officials to the Standard
man the other day. "The results
Of the first seasons run will be so
satisfactory TO the growers here
from the fact that the sugar con-
tent will be so great-that next
year every farmer in the valley
will want to put out some ground
to the sugar beet. This region will
make a wonderful showing in this
industry Churchill Standard.

Has an Oh! Relic of Washington

One Of the most interesting relics OF
George Washington is owned by the
city Of Salem. It Is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving. which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Intire, native genius with a gift for
portraiture.. He studied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem on his tour Of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
to adorn the arch owe the west en-
trance OF Washington square, Salem.
Here the efigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
fireproof room at the Essex institute,
Salem. where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness Of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-Boston Globe.
