SOUTHERN PACIFIC
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
New Steel Rails All Le-id-Steel
Bridges and Concrete Arches
to Replace Wooden Ones.
Notwithstanding tin immense traffic
that the Southern Paciflo has had to
move over this divisiou of their
system the Company has continued
the extensive betterment to the road
bed that was begun last year. Tin
relaying of the track from Cottage
Grove to Ashland, with 80 pouud
steel to take the place of the 64 pound
steel heretofore in nse, has been com
pleted aud now a large crew are at
work reballas'ing the track pud get
ting the roadbed in perfect condition
to withstand the hard usage of winter
wear.
All the wooden bridges are to be
done away with, the large streams to
be spauued by steel bridges, while
the small streams will have concrete
arches. The concrete piers have been
completed for the bridge across Koitnc
liver at Gold Hill aud the steel foi
the new bridge is expected to be re
ceived tliH week. And then with
that tkill of railroad bridge bnilders
the steel structures will be put in
place aud the old wocdeu bridge re
moved without an hour's delay to tin
traiu service of the road. The con
crete piers are now being pnt iu for
the steel bridge that is to replace I he
present wooden bridge across Evans
creek at Woodvilln.
The wooden trestles are gradu
ally being replaced by fills of earth.
The Pacific Construction Company,
which has large contracts with the
Southern Pacific for filling, has a
crew ' nd a steam shovel aud traiu of
dump cars at work filling in Hades
canyon near Tunnel 9, beyond Lelaud
This can von ia over 100 feet dep and
nearly 1)00 feet loug. Brimstone canyon
is anoiher geographical name of ttiat
locality that will pass from the rail
road men's list of danger points for it
is t j be filled. 'I his canyon is as deep
and as dangerous as its neighbor,
Hades canyon, whose name i so
suggestive of bad tilings, and will be
a big job that the railroad conipauy
will begiu on early next spring.
All along the line curves are being
lessened or eliminated and htavy
grades lowered and the track pnt in
8lino for heavy traflic anil fast trains.
This betterment of the roadbed has
cume to be a necessity for the Port-laud-San
Fiaucieco line is becoming
one of the most imiortaiit roads in
the Southern Pacific system, aud the
Company to keep pace with this lnr.-
and growing traflic is putting en ad
ditional rolling stock of the hea iest
engines an I coaches. When the new,
heavy steel rails have been placed on
the entire line aud the wooden bridges
replaced by steel structures, tie
tiestlles by fills, the sharp curves
eliminated and the heavy grades re
duced, as the Company intends to do,
then will a time card ho put into
effect that will give the pnssenger
trains on ;his road a speed such as is
run on Eastern roads aud which will
make it possiba for pass niters to
reach Portland or San Francisco in
two to four hours less time than is
now required for the journey.

Illinois river.
Messrs. Fiuch and Sims had good

Two theori s are quoted of the
origiu of tle js-aeh English lsjtauists
(among wiom Charles Durwlu may
becitidj believe the w i Id almond to
be the forefather of tliesacli. And
that the i.ilrc duct ion of the fruit in
Europe and thence to Americ.i was
by way of I'.inia and Asia Minor
whet ce the name "IVrsica," given to
the peach. French botanists believe
the peach to be indigenous in China
w tr it was cultivated for many
years prior to the Christian era. The
almond does not grow wild in China,
uor are wild peaches foptid tiiere
nowadays. Oue observer found in
Afghanistan a var oty of wild almond
b ariug fruit much resembling the
peach.
The general b lief among groweis
who have investiagled is that the
fruit originated iu Asia Minor, aud
was thence can led toEuroe. But
general belief is not woith much in
the face of scientific evidence.

STOLEN P0CKETB00K

A Pickpocket or Another Person
Makes Amends for a Theft
llone Three Years Ago.
George H. Calhoun, a popular
clothing man ot this city, has re
gained possession of a pocket book
that he ever expected to si e, though
hu is out the f0 that it contained.
Three years ago this August Mr. and
Mrs. Calhouii were Iu Han Fraucilaco
and while riding on a crowded street
car Mr. Calhoun bad his pocket book
stolen by a pickpocket. No trice
could be found of it hy the police and
he gave it up for lost.
Last week while Mr. aud Mrs
Calhoun wore at the fair and at Sea
aide a postal card came to bis store
from the postmaster at Watsonvllle
California, stating that a package
was there to his addiess aud to for
ward stamps aud it would be sent to
him. His clerk, Owen Thomas,
forwarded the a'an.ps and tho package
came. On Mr. Calhoun's return
Eriduy be opened it and there was his
pockctnook. At the time it was
stolen It contained "! in currency,
ilrnlt for llsi, a number of receipts
aud other pacri, and a gold K. of P,
pin. All wcic returned exo- pt the
: luouev, the tliicl being too cautious to
. try to cash the draft, though its pay
lie lit had been stop'd by Mr. Cal
lioun. Among the pajs-rs was a re
rcint given the previous mouth for
payuiciit of the rent of a store build
iug, win h Mr. Calhoun had rented iu
WatsonviMe, and it was this address
tliut had bei ii placed ou the package
when mailed from San Francisco.
The writing was a woman's and Mr.
Calhoun thinks that the thief hail
died or loft and that the pockothook
loot come into possession of some
woman who took it on herself to re
turn it to its rightful owner.

The only safe procedure when oue
goes a single step beyond the neat an'
orderly ptovision for generally recog

and comprehensive plan ami policy
and never to undertake ot accept a
project of improvement without
earnestly and di liberalelr comparing
Ha probable results with the aims of
the plan, says the Juno Atlantic.
However wise and comprehensive they
may be, such general plain must from

A further extension of the Chicago
A Northwestern railroad toward Port-
laud lias been ordered. At tbe close
of the year tbe company will have
completed about 2tt0 miles of con
struction In 1905. The road will, at
the present rate of construction, enter
Portland in about three years.
By the close of 1905 the Northwest
ern line will have reached a point at
the southwest corner of the Shoshone
Iudiau leservatiou. The extension
just decidrd on will carry it 85 miles
farther, into the state of Idaho.
Amended articles of iuoorporatiou,
in the name of tbe Wyoming Central,
have been filed in Wyoming, increasing
the capital stock to 118,600,000. The
iuorease is necessitated by a decision
to immediately begiu a further ex-
teution westward of 38 miles, aud to
build an arm southward to Salt Lake
Oily. The contract let about a month
ago provided for an extension west
from Casper to Spider creek, aud the
uew arrangement will carry it 85
miles west of that poiut.
It is said the Booth-Kelly Lumber
Company, which owus the Oregon
Ceutral military road land grant, a 10-
mile strip extending across tbe state,
has been approached by both the
Northwestern aud the Gould people
with propositions for purchase of this
strip.
The Northwestern has, It ia known,
made a preliminary survey following
that route, and entering the Will
amette valley along the north fork of
the Willnmete river. Extensive sur
veys have beeu made by the Northwest
ern lu tlie coos Hay couutry, and
these mo' emetits have, it is said, beeu
directly respons bl for the Ilarrimnu
deoisiou to build a road from Draiu
to Maiahfleld.
The Northwestern, under its present
management, controlled by the Van
derbilts, Hewitt, Ames, Marshall
Field, Cyrus MoCormick and other
independent meu, is proving to be one
of the most aggressive railroads in the
country. It bus bad a wonderful

and lie pxtiecta the new stamps will

With the uew batteries of 10 stamps
now being installed the Granite Hill
mine will have 20 stamps In operation
making it the secoud largest mill in
Southern Oregon, the Greenback
mine alouo having a larger equip
pieut This doubling of the mill
capaoity will cause a largo increase
lu the number of meu employed in
the mine. There is now a village of
150 persons at Granite Hill and hy
the close of this year tlieto will be
fnlly 200 people residing at that initio.
It is currently reported that 20 more
stamps will be added uext sptlng to
tho mill's equipment which if done,
will make Granite Hill oue of the
big mines of the Pacific Coast.
Granite Hill mine is now a large
factor lu the buaiuois prosperity of
Grants Pass, a daily stago plying ho
tweeu the mine and tho town, and the
additional payroll that a 40-stamp
mill would create It would become
even of more importance in the trade
welfare of Grants Pass. And Its sui
