". P. AND SANTA FE
FORM AN ALLIANCE

W.
The Western Pacific and Santa
Fe have Joined forces and have
opened a traffic war on the South
ern Pacific for the fruit. grain and
vegetable traffic originating in the
Sacramento valley. Heretofore
the Southern Pacific has practically
had a monopoly of the business, as
1T has had connections direct for
the southern route and to the east
over the Central Pacific. The
Western Pacific has run through
the valley, bnt was unable to ge,
the business destined for the SOUTH
ern route. The Santa Fe and the
Western Pacific have signed a
traffic agreement for the Santa Fe
to use the tracks of the Western
Pacific from Stockton to Sacra-
mento, a distance of forty-fve
miles.
The agreement for the-use of
tracks was signed in San Francisco
on Saturday by A. G. Wells, gener.
al manager Of the Santa Fe, and
c. M. Levey, vice-president and
general manager of the Western
Pacific, T.. c. Wyche, chief engi-
near of the Western Pacific and A.
a.. Rollins, general superintendent
of the coast lines of the Santa Fe
system we're present. For many
years the Santa Fe has tried to
get into Sacramento, but has been
blocked by the Southern Pacific.
About two years ago it attempted
to get in with a tentative agree
ment with the Oakland, Antioch &
Eastern, a traction line running
from the Key Route in Oakland
to Sacramento ny way of Stockton.
The Southern Pacific and the trac-
tion. line entered into an agree
ment, it is said, whereby the South
ern Pacific argeed not to wage war
on the traction lines suburban
travel from Oakland mole. As q
consideration the traction line end
ed the negotiations with the Santa
Fe for entrance into Sacramento.

of the latter road having so much

the Sacramento tonnage. 1t is said
that the Santa Fe agreed to turn
all freight originating in the San
Joaquin valley and on it's lines
through Texas, Arizona, New Next
co and Oklahoma destined to the
intermountain country to the
Western Pacific, and in addition
the traffic department of the Santa
Fe is to work for the Western
Paciic-Santa Fe route in shipping
freight out Of the intermountain
country destined to points in the
above mentioned states.

The Strongest Force.

Three years ago last winter
four buns met by chance in a
little mission in one of the sordid
parts of Philadelphia. Though
three of the four had once been
wealthy and ''respectable," all
were then smeared with slime;
drunken, vice stained sots for
whom you wonld have supposed
life held no remnant Of hope.
That night something happened
to them. A very mysterious
something, which you've often
heard of and sometimes seen,
but which nobody yet has ever
been able to explain.
They got converted. A spark
Of divinity, caught like a Mar
conigram from out of the heavens,
made a circuit in their souls; and
presto, new wheels began to turn.
Talk about miracles. Here
was one excelling any in tabled
story. These four utter down.

Jagged lives and felt that they

in like straits.
Pretty soon they, in turn, had
rugged up a mission. When they
started it, they had among them
Just q cents. But somehow
Providence looks out for things
worth while. A kindly philan
thropist came along, approved of
their plans, gave property and
money, and today this mission
begun so humbly only a little
more than three years ago, has
the record of having afforded
food, shelter and an upward
shove to more than 100000 drift
ing, homeless men.
1t is really a poor mans hotel,
humanized. A dollar pays for a
clean room for a week. You can

All, remember, due to religion

better impulses Of the universe

Yes, indeed, religion is wortl

The hell of war may for a tim
obscure it, but it remains tn

OSBORNE MAKES DISCOVERY.

Ed S. Osborne the ether day ac-
cidentally discovered that what him
self and many mining engineers have
heretofore taken for belts of sand
stone in the mining territory east of
Parker really are not what they ap-
pear to be. In sinking a hole for
the purpose of developing water in
what looked like white sandstone,
he found was really a porphyry for
nation underneath, containing good
values in copper, the appearance no
doubt being due to the great heat
which it underwent in it's formation
ages ago Mr.Osborne has prospected
the sandstone" at different points
and is convinced that he has an i'm
mense body of copper ore, extending
for a width of over 100 feet and a
few thousand feet in length. He is
of the opinion that all similar belts
in this district will be found to con-
tain copper values.

STORM DOES MUCH
DAMAGE ON COAST

LOS ANGELES, Jan.28-One more
life was lost in flood waters yester-
day, making total of eight deaths
in the southern half of California due
to the furious storm just passing.
Theodore White, paving contractor,
living in Hollywood, fell into Lytle
creek, between San Bernardino and
Cotton, and was drowned.
With a spectacular sweep of rain
and hail from the Santa Monica
mountains across Los Angeles and
along the range of mountains to
north and east at noon yesterday, ac-
companied by crashing peals OF thun-
der reverberating from electrical dis
charges in the mountains, one of the
greatest storms Southern California
has ever experienced practically
passed.
AS the account of damages is
taken, the fact becomes prominent
that little injury has been suffered
outside of a few localities in COM
parison with the vast benefits of the
generous rainfall, to which has now
been added a blanket of snow in the
mountains.
Santa Barbara's loss is estimated
the region of Santa Maria, in northern
the reion of Santa Maria, in northern
Santa Barbara County, the loss is
near 100000, while at and around
Ventura, 5000, 900 in property has been
destroyed
Elsewhere, the severest loss has
been to railroads, and that mainly
in the decentralization of their traffic,
for in the main only small bridges
were carried out and tracks softened
or undermined.

ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIVERY.

per, Deputy Sheriff Ed Luke Monday
stopped a jailbreak at Phoenix that
would have released thirty prisoners
four of them murderers, from the

Luke had just turned the prisoners
into their cages for the night, and
was about to close the door, when
Arthur Leonard, murderer of Marshal
Hi Peterson of Mesa, approached. Th
convict asked Luke to deliver pack
age for him, and started to hand it to
the deputy.
AS Luke reached for the package,
Leonard threw the pepper. Luke
slammed and bolted the door. An in
stant later all the prisoners in the in
ner corridor threw their weight
against it.
The deputy sheriff was unable to
feel his way to the outer door, but
his cries brought assistance.

HOBOES SET FIRE
TO REFRIGERATOR

AS he was coming in from the west
pulling passenger train No. Is at 2: Is
Thursday mornig Engineer Smokey
Wallace discovered refrigerator
car afire on the siding between the
station and the bridge. The car
was one of seven standing on
the siding, and the burning one was
located in the center of the string.
Engineer Wallace Immediately no.
titled the yard men when he pulled
into the station, and an engine was
lurriedly sent to the scene of the con-
lagration to save the cars which
were coupled to the one afire. The
burning car was quickly cut out and
run to the water tank, were a steady
stream of water was turned on the
blaze
Believing that the fire had been
thoroughly extinguished, although
the car was charred mass of ruins,
it was set out on a side track be-
low the station. About two hours
later it was again discovered on fire
oy the yard men, and soon was COM
Dletely destroyed.
1t is believed that the car was set
afire by hoboes who had been sleep
ing in it, either by a lighted cigarette
or with malicious intent The town
has been over-run for the past few
weeks by hoboes, who, knowing that
this place is unprovided with a jail,
have been unusually bold in their
petty thefts and drunkenness.
