WILL DROP 5000 MEN

A San Francisco dispatch of the
2lst says that it was announced
at the office of the Southern
Pacific compan! here today that
5000 men would be dropped
frvm the payrolls of the Pacific
system ,of the railway before the
end of September. Two Thousand
will be dropped this week.
The order to reduce forces was
issued from the Offices of julius
Kruttschnitt, vice president and d.
rector of i~antenance and operation
of the Hartman system and all
seven of the Hartman raods are
affec ted. 1t was explained that
the retrenchment was made
necessary by slack freight condi-
tions, short crops in the northwest
having tied up Il large nubmer Of
cars, l65.5SO of which remained
idle.
1t was stated at the Offices Of
the company here that the
employees would be taken on again
in October in the order Of their
seniority il improved conditions
warranted such action.

MEADOW VALLEY WASH

By the expenditure of over
S5.0O0.0 600 during the past fifteen
months, the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake railroad
will soon be in a position TO bid
defiance to the sulking desert
stream in Meadow Valley wash.
which, for seasons past has
hindered the operation of the
main line between Los Angeles
and Salt Lake. The stupendous
task of constructing the new
high line' through the Meadow
Valley wash in Nevada is RAPIDLY
nearing completion and within the
naxt ninety days the Salt Lake
route will be free from the posi-.
bility OF a recurrence Of the
disastrous washouts Of recent
years.
When completed. eighty miles
of new track will have been laid,
72t miles Of new grading will
have been done; ten new tunnels.
aggregating more than $500 feet
in length will have been built and

than 1000 feet in length and cali.

THE EXTRA SESSION

Speaker Clark has issued the
following statement of the work
n by the democratic house
during the extra session:
AT this session the democrats
have made a record which has
surprised our friends end dumb
fourded u enemies. 1t has put
heart and hope into democrats
everywhere. The extra session
was extraordinary, not only in the
of being a special session.
callrd by the president, but also in
the amount and quality Of the
work done in the house by the
combined democrats and insur-
gents and the combined demo
Gratis and republican insurgents in
the senate, and especially by the
unanimity of action developed Ey
the house democrats.
1t vas predicted freely. vocif-
erously, enthusiastically and con-
fdently by the stsndpat press ard
orators that We would go TO pieces.
On that account and by reason
of that hope they rejoiccd that the
extra session of congress was
called, so that We might 60 to
pieces az the earliest possible date.
But we have sorely DISAPPOINTED
all their expectations. They even
set the date when we would go to
pieces, which was the day of the
democratic raucus on January 10,
bot unfortunately for them, in
that caucus everything was done
unanimo sly. The next morning
when they founj we had agreed in
spite of their malicious predictions
to the contrary they had to pinch
themselves to see if they were
awake.
They then said surely we would
20 IN pieces as soon as we reached
the'tarif question. but again they
were doomed to disappointment,
nd we did not go to pieces at all.
We are more thorou hly united in
the house at the end Of the
sessimn, if possible. than at the
beginning.
I'VE have set a good example to
democrats everywhere. Sneered
at for years as a party of mere
negatiOn and as being utterly lack
ing in ability for constructive
craftsmanship, We passed through
the house more constructive legis.
l%ation, and better, then has passed
through any house in the same
length Of time in twenty years.
We have Get the pace in thac
regard for future houses.
We redeemed every promise
made in order to carry the cleo
tons of 1910. We have econo-
mixed. we passed the reciprocity
bill. the wool tariff bill, the free
list bill, the cotton bill with the
senate amendments, which in
cluded tho iron and steel schedule
and the chemical schedule: we
submitted to ratification of the
constitutional amendment provid.
ing for popular election of
senator's Of the United States: we
passed a bill for the publication
of campaign expenses before the
election: we liberated the rules.
making the committees elective by
the house; we passed a resolution
TO admit New Mexico and Arizona
and we passed a large number Of
other bills Of more or less import.
ance IL is a record Of which we
may we be proud and on viii CHI we
will sweep the country in 1912.

of structural steel VIII nave peeh
placed. AT the present time the
work has been completed TO
Caliente, Nevada. and for a short
distance north of that point.
Farther north the work is being
rushed with great rapidly n
three months time will see the
| scenic short line between Southern
! California and the East forever
free from the danger of serious
washouts in its hitherto weakest
spot-the Meadow Valley wash.
The giganticness of the task
which the Salt Lake route has
accomplished can only be realized
by seeing. Miles of tunnel have
been built, the most modern
bridges installed, thousands of
feet of heavy bag and rock rip-rap
put in place and even the course
of the river completely changed.
And all for what? To combat n
sluggish desert stream which for
years flowed sullenly through the
narrow canyon, disappearing alto
gether at times and then, for a
single night turned into a raging
torrent which carried death and
destruction before it.
When the Salt Lake line was
first in course of construction a
party of railroaders overlooking
the work encountered an old
Indiana resident of the valley
for many years. The old tribes
man was kindly treated by a
member Of the party and. in re-
turn, mumbled to one of them:
Twenty years heap dry
twenty heap rain"
The history of the Meadow
Valley has borne out this statement
of the ancient Indian.
The new line so rapidly nearing
completion is twelve to fifteen feet
higher along its entire length
than the highest known high water
mark. The high water mark was
established in 1909 when the
greatest flood ever known came
dom the canyon. and by placing
the line so much above this mark
the engineers and officers Of the
SAT- Lake are confident that no
further trouble will be cncount-
cred. In fact during the last
week in July a cloudhurst
occurred in the mountains above
Caliente which sent a wall Of
water, ten feet high in some
places, down the canyon. 1t tore
out portions of the old line and
some of the work under construc-
ton, but without exception the
new line wes high and dry and
]urscarred by the rush Of waters.
That anything more terrific than
this flood can occur is hard to be-
lievc and the fact that the High
Line" withsrood it Is locked upon
by officials of the road a. sufficient
proof that the road is now out Of
danger.
Under these circumstances the
officials Of the road feel no
hesitancy in announcing that dur
ing the coming winter, the annual
influx Of tourists to Southern Cali
fornia car be handled by the Salt
Lake without fear of delays and
particularly attractive service will
be installed TO accommodate this
class Of traffic Exchange.

PROTEST CUTS A BIG FIGURE

Governor Wilson is telling q
number of things in the east
favorable to the democratic
party, that he picked up in his
tour through the west. One of
the most significant of those things
is given by Frank Parker Stok-
bridge in the August number of
the Worlds Work, evidently
obtained from Governor Wilson
himself. The story runs as fol-
lows:
Governor Wilson journeying
through Nebraska got off the train
to stretch his legs at the little
station of Wymcre. Immediately
a keen-faced mar in blue overalls
and lumber. wiping his hands on a
bunch OF cotton waste, approached
him with the question:
Isn't this Governor Wilson of
New Jersey?"
THAT is my name" said the
governor, extending his hand in
response to the others greeting.
my name is Mauck," said the
railroad man, land | am the
mayor of Wymore. We've heard
a great deal about you out here in
Nebraska, and ! want to welcome
you TO our town. People out here
are beginning to think you'd make
a mighty good president of the
United States"
THAT is very f~inttering indeed"
replied Governor Wilson. 81
assume from that you are a demo-
crat."
mot at ALL" replied Mayor
Mauck. 81 was elected on the
socialist ticket"
81 did not realize that the
socialists were making so much
progress in the west" commented
the governo-.
ut isn't so much that" was the
mayors reply, "but the people
out here are not satisfied with the
way things are going. The vote
that elected me was only about 20
per cent socialist and 80 per cent
protest"
Commenting on the above signif-
icant showing of political con-
ditions, the Salt Lake Tribune
says that 80 per cent protest is a
big difference. but there Is no doubt
of the fact that protest will
enter into the prudential contest
next year to as large an extent as
it over has done IN any presi.
Dental election. The republican
party has been so faithless to its
pledges, so reckless Of its obi
cations. so needless cf the de-
mands of the people, that there
was a practical overturn Of the
political forces OF the nation at
the election last fall. The great
democratic success of last year
augurs well for the democracy in
the prudential election next year.
provided no calamitous laundering
is made in the meantime and
provided nothing specially advanta-
geous TO the republican party
turns up.
1t looks as though the 80 per
cent protest spoken Of by the
mayor of Wymore will not be
confined to that or any other small
Nebraska town but will be
general throughout the count ~.
Reasons for this accumulate
daily. In addition to the main and
general causes specified It appears
as though the house iny~estipatirC
committees cannot possibly light
upon any matter Of dispute or
Investigation in Washington
without running across a nasty
scandal and misrepresentation of
money. The people will be apt to
say that such a nest of corruption
ought to be broken up at any cost
end to vote accordingly. The 80
per cent protest is abroad in the
land and is very liable to determine
the presidential election next year.
