The Prest of Mountain Water on South
 ern Pacific Diners.

The Blue Canyon water upon which the train crews of the Southern Pacific Company over land route have thrived and grown fat, has been placed in the dining cars over the entire Southern Pacific System. It has been common gossip among the Southern Pacific trainmen for years that the Sacramento division men owe their portly appearance to the drinking of the water from Blue Canyon.
 For all trains on the Sacra- mento division running eastward and westward. the supply of water will be taken on the diners as the trains stop at that station.
 On the other division of the system the water will be trans ported in special containers. In this way the diners on all of the Southern Pacific dining cars are to enjoy the best drinking water ' he found iu the west. The Southern Pacific Company has had chemists at work for years endeaVorinp to find the unrest water.
 In hundreds of places along the line has water been found that could. not be excelled for drinking purposes. water free to a large extent from alkalis, but it has been difficult to find water that was entirely, or nearly en- tirely, free from incrustations. Blue Canyon water comes from a small lake and spring at the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It is nearly chemi. cally pure but the supply is not sufficient for locomotive use. The Blue Canyon water contains only forty seven hundredths of a grain of alkali, one and seven ty five hundredths of grain of incrusting solids, or a total of two and twenty two hundredths grains of solids of the gallon. incrusting solids are harmful to the engine boilers if there is any great precentage of them in the water used in locomotives. but the water used by the Southern Pacific engines is carefully tested at different times during the year and if found to contian any. incrustations, chemical com pounds are added to nulify the effects.
