last week, as this section of the country has ever seen. Days and nights of continuous rain followed by snow and the whole camp enveloped
 in darse clouds has been the order of events and considerable suffering has Deen noted among the families and children. Eagle river went on
 wild rampage and washed out about sixty feet of supporting trestle under the many water mains furnishing Mo renci with water. All day Wednesday
 the water was watched and the water plant was finally closed down rsliev- | ing all pressure on the water mains
 and preventing a worse damage Dy l bursting mains. Late in the evening, tLe river began to fall rapidly and
 work was started putting in new snp- portc and anchors on the lines. The
 pressure was again turned into the
 pipes for two hours in the morning
 and. evening to supply the people with
 water as much as possible and not {; jeopardize the entire system. Malls
 were delayed several days on ac-
 count of large washouts on the A. & N. M. railway and everything com bined with the local conditions oc- casioned by the strike has tried the patience of most everyone.

The first settlement on the present site of San Francisco dates from 17T6. It consisted of a Spanish mili tary post (presidio) and the Francis can mission of San Francisco, de Asis. In 1886 the settlement of Yerba Buena was established in a little cove southeast of Telegraph Hill. The name San Francisco was. however, applied to all three settle ments. The United States flag was raised over the town in 1S46, and the population rapidly increased, reach ing perhaps 900 in May, 1S4S. The news of the gold discoveries was fol | lowed by crowds of fortune seekers, so that by the end of 1S4S the city had an estimated population of 20,- 900. From that time on San Fran cisco has grown rapidly. The first Irregular overland mail communication with the East was established by pony express in 1860, the charge for postage 1 being 8 for half an ounce. In 1869 the completion of the Central Paci

Several Kangaroo Courts held among the many deputies have kept things lively during the past several weeks. The two victims came across freely with their various fines and the men have had plenty of fun out of it. The most recent joke carried out to the last finale, was bogus letter to a certain heavy set red-faced gentleman living on E Hill, asking him to act as a mediator between the managers and a union committee in a meeting to be held in Clifton on a certain afternoon Unsuspicious of the hoax, the gentleman dolled up in his best and went to Clifton where he spent the whole afternoon trying to find the meeting place. It is said that no mention of the trip has been made to any of the deputies, and it is thought they are satisfied with nc treat since the mediator is minus his csT fare

NEW SYSTEM ON A. c. L.
Appointed to Check Up
Passenger Conductors.

The announcement that, effective
today, the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road company would inaugurate
system providing for checking upits
passenger train conductors while on
their runs has caused good deal OF
discussion among the conductors
employed by this great system onits
various divisions.
The plan, according to the inform
alton obtainable, will not be worked
along the lines adopted by the South
ern railroad several years ago by
which auditors. or ticket and fare
collectors, were regularly placed on
trains to relieve the conductors of
this work and to render them re-
sponsible only for the running of the
train. The Coast Lines system OF
auditing, The Times is informed, will
consist of the appointment of audit
ors, authorized to board train at
any time and anywhere and to then
and there take charge of the collec-
ton of tickets and fares, requiring
the conductor to check IN for the
run from the time he took the tral
to the appearance of the auditor.
The conductor, it is stated. must be
prepared to hand over a complete
and accurate record of all tickets, j..
passes and fares on demand. This
is the system as explained to The
Times by one in position to know.

tice of the change has been posted

Two Pineapple PRODUCERS All.
nounce Increase Will Be Ef-
feCtiVe in a Few DAYS

Wages paid to plantation lahorers
are to be raised by at least two OF
the large pineapple producers, the
Hawaiian Pineapple Company and
Libby, McNeili e Libby. The former
will put its new scale in operation
during the present month and the
latter June /.
Ten per cent Increase in wages
will be paid to plantation laborers By
the Hawaiian Pineapple Company
Other arrangements have been made
with lunas and salaried men and with
contractors All inN all these In
creases will form an important addi-
ton to the pay roll, but beyond the
statement of increase to plantation
labor no figures have been made pub
lie. No increase in wages paid to
Gamers is mentioned.
Libby, Mcneil &c Libby state that
they have made similar raises In
their wage scales, but figures are not
given outi In this case also the en-.
largement in pay rolls will form an
important item. This company also
says nothing of contemplating raising
Gamers wages.
The wage increase by these two
pineapple companies comes as
voluntary offer on their part and be-
fore any demands for higher wages
have been made. 1t is stated that a
year ago when prices for products
were down and there was little or no
market, the companies kept their
forces at financial sacrifices to them.

while higher prices for the canned

M'CORD SPEAKS
upon PLAQUES

THE Seven Last Plaques" was the
subject of the lecture delivered last
night at the Peace Palace" when
Evangelist McCord opened one of the
mystery chapters of the Book of Rev
elation. Opening his Bible to the 10th
chapter of Revelation. he introduced
the prophecy in these words:
Our God in mercy has not only
told His children here upon earth of
the home that awaits the faithful, but
has warned them Of the intervening
time of trouble that will come upon
the earth as result of the sin of
mankind. We cease TO be touched by
the many blood stained pictures that
come to us from the battlefelds of
Europe, but the picture painted by
the writer of the Apocalypse is a
Dante's Inferno compared to these.
Man is naturally lOath to think of the
immediate future. but Of all times, we
should be most intelligent regarding
what this time has in store for us.
The falling of the seven last
plaques asmentioned in Rev 16, at
once reminds the student OF the Bible
of the ten plaques that fell upon Egypt
at the time of the Exodus. There is a
striking resemblance between these
two events. Each proceeds time Of
