'Ians For New
Levee Approved
Plans submitted by the State
board of Engineers for the construc
ion of an all earth levee across
he front of the Southern Pacific Rail
oad property extending from Val
ette street to Hendee street were
Lpproved by the Levee Board at its
ast meeting. The plans call for an
'xpenditure of $25.000. The South
trn Pacific Railroad had requested
he adoption of different plans, which I
would have entailed an expenditure
tf $185,000. These were rejected
ty the board on the ground that the
additional money required for the
)roject as submitted by the South
ýrn Pacific would not accrue to the
)enefit of the city but would only en
lance the value of the railroad's
)roperty. It was decided, however,
sot to advertise for bids immedi
itely. This was done on request of
:he Southern Pacific for another
onferenre.

providing a scheme worthy to be pert

I can say in reply to your second
paragraph, that the committee has not
considered any proposition for an
"Ornamental Shed" and while it is
impossible at this time to further de
finitely state the committee's point of
view, it is reasonable to believe that
it will be largely based upon the un
obstructed view of the river, from

Smiling Joe Lamana. president of
the "Hi-art" Social Club. has been
very busy the past few days hauling
pumpkins to make jack-o-lanteras for
the novelty hallowe'en dance his club

cats disappearing, particularly the
black ones--black cats are part of
a Hallowe'en decoratiop. The club
advertises in the Herald they will
have good music and that souvenirs

be given one as a souvenir.

Southern Pacific Fire f
Fighters Always
On The Alert
The Fire Fighters composed of r
members of the different depart- i
ments of the Southern Pacific Rail
road Shops of Algiers have been or
ganized for quite awhile, and have
been performing excellent work in
answering the signals at their drills
in the shops and yards, and it does]
one good to watch these men in
I service under Fire Marshall Frank
Jagot, as they display so much in
terest in performing their duty.
There is also a bit of rivalry in
the department amongst the mem
bers of the fire brigade, as it seems
they all want to reach the fire first,
but it always falls to Truck Num
ber One to reach the fire first, and
these men claim to have the best
record of the fire brigade of the
Southern Pacific Shops, as has been
proven by their record. Truck Num
ber One is composed of members
of the Blacksmith Shop under the
Supervision' of Mr. F. L. Clark, and
r it is through the interest he dis
plays to his men in answering the
signals of the fire marshall that
t they have such a good record.
3 The members of the other depart
ments always respond to the signals
r as fast as they possibly can, and it
must be said that the Fire Marshall
f is very proud of the members of
the different fire crews.

by the Southern Pacific on any of
its lines. The total weight of en

and the engine alone weights more
than 281.011. All the engines use
crude oil for fuel, and the tanks
have a capacity of approximately
3I 100 cubic gallons each. The water
Stank is of 10,000 galons displace
The "Mikado" type of engine has
two small "leader" wheels, four

K The drivers on the Southern Pacific
1 engines are 63 inches in diameter,
e and will pull aload approximately

"pull" or tractive power available
t. is 51,075 pounds, and the total

able of pulling a train of 200 lOaded
Sfreight cars at the rate of 30 miles
