CENrENS1AL FARES charged by the owners
Of the steamboat lines between Boston and
New York appear to depend solely on the
capacity of the travellers to be squeezed by
the enterprising boat officials. The rate has
been raised, according to q correspondent,
without any previous announcement, and
passengers are preyed upon by the steam
boat harpies in the most discreditable man
ner. There is only one remedy for this kind
of thing. and it is to refuse to patronize the
steamboat lines until the companies awaken
10 just recognition of the rights Of travel
lers and their own obligations.

Tn. Herald. Storm Predictions.

Our efforts to secure for the readers Of the
HERALD the fullest intelligence regarding
meteorological changes, both in the vicinity
Of New York and even in distant parts of the
country have been eminently successful.
In nearly every instance our predictions OF
the approach of storms and other phenomena
have been verified even beyond our own ex-
pectations, and we can point with satisfac-
ton to the heavy rain and thunder storms of
yesterday as the most complete verifcation
of our announcement Of Sunday morning.
We then stated eat present the area of low
est barometer is central between the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers on the forty-second
parallel, and this depression will bring with
it violent storms, which may be felt even in
this city by Tuesday or Wednesday next.
The storm yesterday commenced about two
P. M. and continued over an hour. After q
lull, which lasted until seven O'Clock p NJ,
another storm area advanced over the city,
and lightning flashed and thunder rolled
with extraordinary violence The tempera-
ture sensibly lowered during and after the
disturbance and a considerable amount of
water fell to refresh vegetation. This rain
will be regarded as providential favor at O
season when certain parts Of the country and
even New York city itself were threatened by
water famine. Cisterns will now be re-
filed, possibly to overfowing, but we would
advise our readers to be economical with
their water supply until the termination of
the hot season. Many terrible and fatal
off hxy ho lnn
during the progress of these storms over the
country, an account of which will be found
in another part Of to-day's HERALD.

SOME MoRE.-Somewher in the geog-
raphy, used in our younger days, we re-
member having seen something regard
ing the change Of seasons. That geog-
raphy wasn't evidently gotten up for a
Centennial Year. There hasn't been any
changes this season, and the climate has
not teen "mild and salubrious," as stated
in the geography before referred to. Last
week we reported 1906 inches Of rain and
since then SO inches has fallen, making
grand total to date of 45. 95 inches OF
rain. Snow fail roportedalast week was
94T, to which must be added l4I, and
we have total fall Of snow to the pres
ent time fl094 inches. To day is cloudy
ard more storm is promised.

GONE FROM OUR GAZE.-Two weeks
ago we announced the departure of Chas.
hartman, Post Master at this place, for
Sacramento on Official business. At the
time of leaving Mr.. Hartman announced
that he would return in three or four davs.
bnt up to the present time he has failed
10 put IN all appearance. Nothing has
been heard from him since his departure
further than that he tarried not in Sacro-
mento and was seen in San Francisco for
half-a-day only. Circumstances give rise
to the belief that his return has met with
an indefinite postponement and that the
places which knew him of old will know
him no more forever. How his accounts
with the Post Office Department stand
Is not known, but the Postal Agent of
this Coast has been notified of existing
circumstances and it is probable that an
investigation will soon be inaugurated.- -
MIR. Hartman also held the position of
Secretary to the German Hospital Socit ty
OF Trinity County and also of the Repub-
llcan County Central Committee, with
both which institutions he is delinquent.
Such are the facts of the case as nearly
as they can be gathered from current
reports about town, and that this condi-
ton Of atftirs points to deliberate de-
sertion cannot DO denied, however much
we might wish it were otherwise. That
Hartman may be heard from and matters
eventually brought to satisfactory settle
mont is not impossible, but to the aver
age mind acquainted with the circumstan-
ccs such conclusion appears highly i'm
probable.

STILL SETTLING.-The break in the
mountain back of Douglas City settles n
little at each heavy storm, and has now
crowded the base of the mountain out
to where the wagon road luns. The
worst feature of the slide thus far, ha
been the annoyance it has caused Mr.
Tourot, whose ditch to Fillibuster Flat
runs over it. They have been compelled
to dig and fume the ditch anew several
times already in places, but it is hoped
that with settled weather there will be
no more trouble this Spring.

The demand thus made by Mr.. Kilbourn
is both respectful and just. 1t will be
recognized by the American people as a
demand made in their own behalf. The
case is one which every private citizen
makes his own. A responsive shout will
greet this demand and dictate the answer.
If this demand is not complied with the
people will arise en- sndsss, and hurl such
storm of indignation at the House as will
cause every man comprising it to shudder
and shrink into political oblivion. The
case of Hallett Kilbourn, in Jail for the
commission of an alleged crime, and refused
a judicial examination and q trial by jury,

how KoRoPoL1Es HAzE MONEY.

Here is delightful picture of pro-
gross and prosperity on the part of
the Union Pacific railroad. Seven
millions OF net earnings for 1915 is
not bad showing, while many OF the best
roads of the country were languisaing and
falling as helpless bankrupts into the hands
of receivers. Then, if the Central Pacific,
the other half Of the same thing, has accom-
piished as much, there are $4,000, 900 a
year of actual profit on trans continental
traffic. This is a good thing for somebody,
whether it is for the whole country or not.
Just think of a dozen capitalists making
$4,000, 600 Of profit year on a single line
of railroad, and then think of the golden
millennium
But how does this line of railway, which
traverses barren deserts, skirts the moun-
tain sides, threads the rocky canons, and
burrows through avalanches of snow that
make it impracticable or perilous for seve-
raj months in the year-how does this line
gather such immense treasure? The an
swer is simple enough. 1t has no compe-
tition. The whole country is forced to
pay tribute to one of the hardest and most
grasping monopolies in the world.
What is the remedy: As simple as the
disease. If We fight the devil with fire, we
must fight railroads with rails We must
not ask this same glorious company of
millionaires to lengthen their monopoly by
bending it into huge half circle, embrac-
ing the whole Southwest, and thus reduc-
ing that great empire Of natural wealth
into perpetual yassalage: but we must build
a competing line that can be constructed
cheaper, shorter and through far richer
country. By this means transportation to
the Pacific coast will be secured at reason
able rates, vast region of uncultlvated
country settled and made productive, the
richest mines upon the continent devel-
oped, the whole Southwest blessed with
prosperity, and the whole country saved
from the exactions of grinding monopoly.
SiTilia Simili6us curantur, the hair of the
dog is good for the bite. Let us have a
Southwestern Pacific railroad.
