It's teeth deep into old Mother Earth,
takes up rock and clay, two hogs
headfuls at a bite and spits them into
the cars. This machinery here is the
wonder Of the world, and it does Its
work without kicking. 1t never stops
and never strikes. II is tool of the
gods. but a little man works It with
a touch of his finger.
One Will load fat car holding forty
tons in five bites, and we have shovels
which have loaded more than 1000
cubic yards In a day. Records arc
Kept of the work OF each. and single
machines frequently load $4,000 cubic
yards OF earth and upward In one
working month. If that amount OF
material were loaded upon two-horse
wagons. II would take 10000 horses
TO haul IL. and, estimating each wagon
at forty feet. the loaded wagon train
or single shovel would fill a road
way 500 miles long.
AS we look l take out my watch and
time the loading of car. The shovel
to eight tons every sixteen seconds.
and the car Is filled in a little over
minute. In one days work single
shovel has loaded more than 5000 tons,
and last March ffty-one shovels ex-
cavated on an average almost $4,000
yards each.
The Lesson OF the Ant.
AS We watch the work one of the
shovels comes to rest, and l remark
to the man who forms the brains OF
the giant upon the mighty power he
is handling:
Yes" he replies, this machine is
stupendous, but II is nothing in com
parison with that of all nature about
us. We have ants hero in Cuiebra
which drag along leaves four times
as big as themselves and five times
their weight. Their machinery is more
Wonderful than this, and tell you
God has man beat every time"
But let us so on. Look up at the
hills we arc now passing through.
The tops of the canyon are OF the
Ereenestso of green. and they look re-
freshing In contrast with the SCARED
desert down here in the cut. See the
railroad trains moving on that leve,
above us. There is another caravan
on the level below, others in the cut

Now stop and look at the cars. Did

They are giants in comparison with

clear.
The cars are l.idgerwood cars,

Paper on Votes for
Women

Equal Pay for Equal Work" PRO
lection of Juvenile Immigrants.
Pure Food and Pure Milk" Pro
lection Of Infant Life" Appointment
OF Police Matrons," 'Children' S
Courts and State Support of Free
Kindergartens," were among the sub
jects discussed yesterday afternoon
at meeting of the Womans Equal
Suffrage association held in Hirano
Hall.
An address on these subjects
which was read by Mrs. ]. NJ. Dow
sett for the purpose of demonstrate
ing TO the local association what the
suffragettes are working for and
what they are doing in other parts of
the world. The address in part was:
"The effect of Womens vote in
every State has led to improved leg
:slation affecting the welfare of
homes and. children. Laws dealing
with drink, crime and vice have. been
frightened up and the greatest vigi-
lance is shown in the protection of
infant life. Under the enfranchise-
ment law women who have property
of their own have practically full
control over it, subject to some minor
restraints which were devised mis-.
takenly for their protection before
women were enfranchised. Women
voters have not yet made any or
ganiZed effort to alter these laws, as
they feel that the unpropertied wo-
men must be safeguarded first.
Another part of the address was
the argument and agreement that
conversation has become mort at
tractive since women have had the
vote. In some parts of the country
there are complaints from the publ
cans, who declare that men now stay
at home to talk politics with their
wives and one mother was heard to
Il never used to be inter-
ested in politics, but | am now since
my girls have such interesting dis
cussions W:;n their father. i
The local organization is beginning
TO. be influenced by the bigger and
broader meaning of suffrage and al
though the progress has been slow
up to this time, they are carefully
working toward their goaE There !
will be more of these addresses along
the same lines by prominent women
and the members of the association
hope to later bring to this city from
the coast some of the well-knownl
suffrage, advocates and speakers.

can get q big meat sandwich, a gen.
