Hard PIowinu.

When the pillow is hard to hold, it il
safe to say that 1t is hard work for
the teams to draw it. This may be be-
cause Of roots or stones, in which case
the cause is obvious, but II not, some
thing else is wrong. and the cause
should be found and the trouble rem
edied. 1t would be cheaper to get q
new pillow than to wear out plowmen
and team with a plow in poor condi-
ton. But as often assnot the trouble
arises from the line Of draft not being
right. 1t would seem that: any farmer
should know If his pillow runs her
nose into the ground" so that he
found he had to bear his weight on
the handles, or pulled out so that he
had to lift on 1t to keep it In, whether
1t took too wide a furrow or too mar
row a one, and should know how to
remedy it, yet we have known a farm
hand to work all day with q plow
when he was putting out more
strength every hour than he would
have used in a days work with the
same plow had he "hitched" the team
properly.

ENGINEER PATENTS
OIL LUBRICATOR

Elmore c. Jordan, locomotive en-
gineer on the Los Angeles division of
the Southern Pacific Company, has re-
Gently received patent on a new device
for the filling of lubricators upon loco
motives by means of compressed air
The device is extremely simple and
provides means by which the central
reservoir of the lubricators can be filled
at any time while the engine is hot, and
without any waste of lubricating oil or
any danger to the operator from leaking
valves an arrangement greatly appreci-
ated by the engineers on the long,
straight away runs on the Southern
Pacific
AT the time Jordan completed his in
vention he brought it to the attention of
the Southern Pacific officials and through
them patent letters were granted. 1t
was experimental with upon the huge
Mallet locomotives of the Southern Pa
citic Company and later pronounced
practically necessity OH account of the
location of the lubricators on these en-
gines, since these lubricators are so high
on the boiler head and difficult to fill.
With Jordan's invention the lubrica-
tors can be filled while the engine is in
motion without taking the usual necess-
ary time to cool the lubricator. 1t is
being used on all locomotives of the
Hartman lines and will undoubtedly
soon be taken up by many other railroads.

injuries threatened.
The action does not allege damages at
the present time, but the suit is prob
ably brought to put plaintiffs i'll certain
standing in court should it be necessary
to bring damage suit after the smelter
is started near Wabuska
Mr.. Jules Labarthe. Superintendent
of Construction of the smelter, states
that the present action will in no way
bar the work of construction, as his COM
pany is ready to put up bonds i'll any
amount to go ahead with the work. The
company has had observations of the
prevailing winds in this section made
for whole year, and it is found that 81
per cent of the time the wind will blow
the smoke away from the valley instead
of onto it. The equipment of the smelter
will also be such that all fumes, gasses,
etc, will be arrested and consumed, so
there will be no damage to vegetation.

USING The SAME

SOUSHERN PACIFIC AND WEST
ERN PACIFIC TRAINS TO
TRAVEL SAME LINE

trackage agreement made several
days ago in New York between officials
OF the Southern Pacific and Western
Pacific roads, it is understood, provides
that the former company may operate
trains over the lines of the latter and
vice versa. The most important factor,
however is that the Southern Pacific may
construct additional trackage on the
roadbed of the Western Pacific.
The agreement, it is said, will not in
terfere or lessen the work of double
tracking now in progress by the Southern
Pacific from Ogden west to Sparks;
between Benicia and Sacramento, and on
the western slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains.
By the terms of the agreement the
Southern Pacific will soon start sending
out the trains over the Western Pacific
track from San Francisco to Wells.
where the two tracks diverge, while the
Western Pacific use tracks of The Harri-
man lines at first only for Overland mail
and passenger trains. westbound
Increased traffic on both lines caused
the agreement, which was proposed by
the Southern Pacific.

NATIVE CHALK FOR
BILLIARD PLAYERS

The Churchill county papers from time
to time relate "reminiscences of olden
times i'll the Carson Sink country, but as
yet we have seen ne story about the
deposit of chalk which lies some twenty
miles from Saltwater, the old county
seat of Churchill county. This chalk is
very fine material and some day will be
made use Of
Away back in the early days a character
by the name of X. .. Vaughn started
saloon i'll Saltwater, and amoung the
attractions of the place was combina-
ton billiard and pool table This table
was the old style and only trife less in
area than the diamond of a baseball field
while the cues used were about eight feet
in length. 1t took a man of muscle to
drive billiard ball around this table
with one shot. District Court was held
in Saltwater occasionally and once in
a while there was dance, and yearly a
county fair and horse races On these
occasions the little town would be full to
overilowing, and the saloon did a good
business, the new billiard table being in
great demand. In the course of time
billiard cues became broken and were
replaced by straight willow polls with
the bark stripped off and tipped with
buttons cut out of pigskin. The supply
of boughten chalk, used to chalk the cues,
was soon exhausted and as none could be
purchased i'll the town Vaughn went to
chalk hills and quarried out a piece
of native chalk about six feet square.
This he brought home and placed on a
large table in the corner of his saloon,
and when the players wanted to chalk
their cues all they had to do was to stick
the end of the cue against this slab OF
chalk, give the cue a few twists and the
business was done. In the course of
time numerous holes, the size of the end
of a cue, were worn in the slab, and
eventually the whole big piece of chalk
looked like colander.
All of the old-time crack billiard play
ers like Lem Allen, Warren Williams,
Jim Richards, Billy Grimes, Tony Troll
sond Tom Toomey and others learned
the game on this table, which accounts
for their being such experts OH smaller
ones now.
A favorite trick of Lem Aliens was,
when he had hard man to beat at the
game, to jam a small chunk of cheese
down his opponents chalk hole. This
creased his opponents cue instead OF
chalking it, and the consequences were
that LENS adversary made so many
misscues that he was easily defeated.
Those good old days are gone.
