RAISE GRADE OE
LONG TRESTLE
Plans for the ,‘1,000-foot trestle
across Placer river flats have been
changed and the grade of Uie line on
that section raised three feet.
This change was made following a
shift of the stream which ambles back
and forth across the flat, that deposit
ed an additional three feet of gravel
at certain points.
The section of country between
Twenty-Mile river and Mile 45 is one
of the most peculiar in atmospheric
j and geographic conditions in the entire
length of the road. Snow stays later,
in rains with great intensity, and freak
j storms are more numerous than at
! any other point.
The river itself is a study in erosion
and natural banking of gravel.
Permanent construction in this sec
tion will probably include higher
grades with riprapped bulkheads, to
force the water into fixed channels.

TO I'SE ALASKA COAL
Alaska coal will have to supply the
transcontinental railroads, is the dec
laration of Clark Davis, interested in
the Bering field. Davis was a passen
ger for the westward on the Admiral
Watson recently.
“It has been ascertained that the
California oil contains by-products val
ued at $4.50 a barrel. At the present
selling price of $1.50 every user of oil
is losing $3.00,M is the statement of
Mr. Davis. For this reason, as well as
the known fact that the California
oil fields are playing out, the Santa Fe
and other big California railroads
must within thirty days secure coal or
use elctric motor power.
