ment of the canal by putting in

One car of galvanized siphon

rapidly as is convenient and when

Pension for Employee

The voluntary pension distri-
buttons of the Southern. Pacific
Company will reach the million
dollar mark before the first day
of April, this year. Since the
inauguration of the pension de-
partment in January. 1903, 1888,
538 has been voluntarily disburs-
ed among the retired employees
of the corporation. The total
disbursements for December
1911, were $16,073. This was
divided among 467 former en-
ployes who have been retired for
age, disqualifying disability and
total disability. The total pen
sion disbursements for the year
1911 were $l84, 704 05.
Since the organization of the
pension departmental Shouthern
Pacific Company has pensioned
692 Of it's former employees. The
number on the pension roll at the
close of 1911 was 467. These en-
loyes are from the operating de-
partment, train service, motive
power department. including en-
ginemen, maintenance Of way
department, stores department,
traffic department, accounting
department., general offices, ferry
and river steamers and Atlantic
steamship lines. The Southern
Pacific pension system does not
require any contributions from
the employs d6ring the tine they
are in service, not at any time.
Length Of continuous service is
the only RECRUITMENT. All pay
ments are made from the gener-
4 al funds OF the railroad.
A unique idea Of the benefici-
aries Of the pension bureau the
annual reunion has met with
unanimous favor. The first affair
[oe this character was held in 1910.
This year it has been decided to
hold the reunion on May 10, the
forty-tkird anniversary of the
driving Of the last spike connect
ing the Central and Union Pa
+ cifc railroads. At these affairs
these railroads are rebuilt in re-
Eminiscence and the old timers
who have not met for years re-
count their experiences Of the
: time the first railroad to the west
was constructed.

ed into active opposition.
+, With Mr.. Hitchcock eliminated,
would to be to free him entirely
from all loyalty to Mr.. Taft and
his administration, and then
what.
AS an APOSTLE Of government
ownership, which is gr1Wing in
popularity daily among the mass
es Of the people, he could exert a
strong influence for some oppos-
ing candidate.
Who would that candidate be-?
AS to Mr.. Hitchcock's motive,
some see in it an inclination to
desert the hopeless cause of his
present chief. However one may
doubt, his sincerity, his political
sagacity and acumen cannot be
brought into question, though it
is not at all times infallible.
But he is possessed of sufficient
foresight to see the 'handwrit-
ing on the wall.
So far as Mr.. Taft is concerned
it is the same in character as that
which alarmed BelShaZar at his
feast weighed in the balance
and not up to the standard.
The question suggested as to
whom Mr.. Hitchcock would throw
his influence and support receives
answer from some by suggesting
that the entire move is in favor
of Roosevelt. But brushing aside
all mysteries connected with his
motive, and eliminating all indi-
viduaIity or personality from it's
consideration, it must be admit
ed that Mr.. Hitchcock has struck
apopular chord in this recon-
mendation,
While it will not be carried out
by the present administration;
may not be by the next, or per-
haps the next one thereafter, it
is something that is as sure to
come in the not very remote fu-
ture as that the nation will con-
tinue it's existence.
The leaven is already at work
in the minds of the people, and
the onward movement of pro-
gress, which is inevitable, will just
as inevitably result in the realiza-
ton of this, as well as of many
other ideas, which are as yet only
in embyro in the program Of pro-
gress. Arizona Gazette.

Diplomacy is not a career which
encourages the growth of strong

necessarily the tool of other men.
Wandering from capital to capi-

vergent policies he must adapt
himself with the good grace that
leads to swift promotion. If he
develops decided views Of his
own, or allows himself to culti-

Bigger Shops for Lordsburg

It is reported that the South
ern Pacific has made an appro-
priation Of $28, 000 for the com
ing year for the Lordsburg round
house and machine shop. Three
new stalls will be added to the
round house, the machine shop
will be increased in size, addition
al power will be put in and new
machinery added. 1t is expect
ed that much Of the repair
work for the Lewiston east of here
will be done here instead of in

is done by the G. H. & S. A.
shops, and it is paid for by the
Southern Pacific. 1t is claimed
that the Southern Pacific is over
charged for this work. The new
machinery will be a nucleus for
