maintenance of timber supplies for
this and for other quarries and
mines is, according to forestry Off

PURE WATER and
ICE FOR THE ESPEE

Exceptional care is exercised by the
Southern Pacific company to insure
the purity of drinking water on its
passenger trains, particularly when
crossing the deserts. The supply Is
analyzed and certified by health OH
cials at intervals and the ice which is
certified also is never touched with
uncovered hand after it is washed at
the ice house, being transported to the
ears by the use OF tongs, gloved hands
and by buckets.
Water is purchased from the city of
Los Angeles, which is the principal
icing place tor the division bearing Its
name, as well as tor outgoing trains,
OF the Coast and Valley lines. The ice
purchased there is made from dis
titled water at the Pacific Fruit Tx
press company s plant and stored in
little houses, convenient to passenger
stations. 1t is sawed that 1T may hit
the ice coolers and Is then thoroughly
washed. Green-paInted carts, provid-
ed with substantial covers to protect
the contents from dust or foreign mat
ter, are used to take the ice from st0r-
age to containers III the cars. The
latter and the carts are carefully
cleaned and sterInZed from time to
time, the company maintaining a spec
lal plant Tor this purpose. Every pas
senger car Is taken care OF IN this re-
spect before departing from Los An
geles.
The same methods and precautions
are followed at Portland, Dunsmuir,
sacramento, Sparks, Fresno and
Tucson. Diners in the northern Sec
tions are supplied with water from
famed spring at Blue Canyon in
the sierra Nevaaas.
The men engaged in handling ice
are provided with white duck SUITS, a
