Mr.. Hoods life history is the his

Pacific lines over great stretches Of
the west. He put the road across the
difficult Tehaehaipi Pass in California,
built the great Lucin cutoff across
the Great salt Lake, conceived an 'S'
line to cross the Siskiyou mountains
between California and Oregon, con-
structed the 'Dumbarton cutoff across
lower San Francisco Bay and com
pleted line between San Diego and
Arizona.
Almost every one of the eleven
thousand miles of the southern Pa
Cific system was covered by Mr.. Hood
on foot before the rails were laid. All
his work was done in the open. Now,
with no more lakes to bridge and no
mere mountains to tunnel, Mr.. Hood
decided to leave his office post. with

DEAN OF ENGINEERS, WHO BUILT
MANY DIFFICULT UNDERTAKINGS
RETIRES TO OFFICE OF HIS OWN

Back in the pioneer days of 1867,
Mr.. Hood joined the Central Pacific
after having been mustered out of the
Union Army at the close of the Civil
War and having cut short his college
work at Dartmouth. He soon became
chief assistant engineer and in the
last seventies built the Tehachaipi loop
ard sent the road to Los Angeles. To
make distance" for gradual slope,
Mr.. Hood twisted his line in a down
slanting loop completely around one of
the PEAKS, completing the circles of
seyen-tcnths of a mile when the track
crossed its starting point in a tunnel
"a feet below the upper level.
later when the SOuthen Pacific
wanted to get across the Salt Lake,
Mr.. Hood decided the cut off could be
built at practicable cost, despite 9th.
er views held by other engineers. He
decided to cover eleven miles of the
lake With trcstle and rear solid
ridge of earth across the rest of it.

But he tried it once upon me, and
