=. F. Chronicle.

=. r. chronicle.
The market of San Francisco is
stocked with so many different kinds
and grades of coal that consumers find
il sometimes quite difficult to get the
quality best suited for their wants. and
tons after tons are sent out for trial
from the yards. only to be returned as
unsuitable and unsatisfactory. A little
information on this subject may there
fore not be inappropriate. The cheap
est coal in this city comes from the
Mount Diablo mines on which account
inexperienced people often make the
mistake of purchasing 1t for household
use, while II is only ut for steam gene
rating purposes. Welsh or Cardiff coal
Is also used almost exclusively for
steaning purposes, and so Is Renton
coal, although this species Is used for
family purposes TO some extent. Coos
Bay coal Is household coal.
IF your servant is wastefui with
coal, said a prominent coal dealer,
use Coos Bay or Seattle coal. Ii Is
cheap aud she will get lots of ashes for
her reward"
Carbon Hill Ial was placed upon this
market as family coal two Years ago,
but it is now used by the Central Pacific
railroad exclusively 1t is not a choice

Australian or Sydney coal is used for

other industries recurring strong and

TmE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

Editorially discussing the transpor-
tation problem, ~ connected with over
land trans continental carriage and
tariffs Brddstreets in n recent issue,
talks out in meeting very plainly. Pre-
missing that the object of the recent
convention, held in San Francisco. was
solely to prevent the lowering of the
existing tariff by making the Northern
Pacific party to the agreement be-
tween the Central and Southern Pacific
and allied corporations, it says: "The
point hence arises, what in to be done
to protect the public, seeing that open
competition is rendered impossible by
corporate combination? The business
Of the country is greatly injured by the
traffic exactions of the Pacific railroad
combination. Extortion begins on the
west bound overland travel and traffic
at Omaha; il ends at the same point
sast-bound. There il No denying or
Disgusting this fact. But this il not
all. The railroads so effectually con-
troll the trade beteen the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts that shippers are practi-
cally denied any advantage from the
natural highway, the ocean. This is an
abuse which can be remedisd by Con-
gress alone, until suoh time rs the in
tereceanic canal across Nicaragua helps
to free the commerce of the United
States from the embargoes placed upon
1t by the Subsidized railroad combi
nation.
Ir Is the manifest interest of the
manufacturing oenters of the East that
there should be cheap and rapid trans
portation to the Pacifio slope. Cheap
railroad fares would tend to settle mp
vast regions of waste land, thereby in--
creas,ng the area Of production and
consumption. National wealth would
grow ~ a result, and the nation would
become stronger at all points. But the
fares adopted by the railroad pool do
not sufficiently encourage an outflow of
population to the Pacific slope. Emf
grafton thither Will be in driblets,
while the corporations transfer to their
own treasures the bulk of all profits on
production and Interchange. This is
the weak point of the pool arrangement.
II does not take sufficient account of
the public interest. amounting to
proprietary right, in all subsidized
roads. These interests are too vast to
be overlooked. The consequences of
the rilroad policy are too far reaching
10 be accepted without protest.

FIAsco.-The judicial Committee
of the Council Fact Monday evening for
the purpose of considering the charge
recently made by the Chronicie against
Judge Cam. The members of the con-
mittee were there clad in their judicial
ernine, metaphorically speaking; Judge
Cam was there with his counsel: but
the prosecution was decidedly not there.
Although ample notice had been given
of the proposed investigation, and the
editors of the Chronicle had been par
ticularly notified. no one appeared pre-
pared to advance any charges. After
lingering sadly for some hours. the
committee adjourned without action
and without report. 1t is to be hoped
that this matter will!be dropped here,
and that unfounded charges shall in
the future be scattered less indiserimin-
ately.

DrlAyED CoNsTRUCrIoN.-The air has
been full of rumors for some time past
about the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
rumors of disagreeable natare in
which it is probable there is some truth
at least. The runors have iacluded one
to the effect that the comp my was in
need of money, and that 1t had been ut
terly unable to. obtain it. This rumor
undoubtedly has some Foundation for
it. Another and more recent rumor is
to the effect that the Kicking Horse
Pass through the Rocky Mol atains has
been found utterly impracticable, and
that the fellowhead, fifty miles to the
north, will of necessity, have to be
adopted instead. There Is truth in this
rumor, too, no doust, as also In the con
Meeting rumor that mach railroad CON
structiou directed toward the Kicking
Horse Pass will now be practically use
less. and that all operations in that di-
rection have been suspended. 1t Is
probably not true, however, that no
work will be done ON the road during
the next four years, nor even during the
next two years, rs has been stated, but
IL would not be surprising If no new
work is engaged in prior to the opening
of the season of 1885. The company
will probably take advantage of the
stringenoy of the money market to
spend the next year in surveying, In
completing work already under way,
and in waiting for the country to grow
up" There never waa a railroad built
SO far in advance of the needs of the
country rs the Canadian Pacific. From
Lake Superior to the Pacific oce .n there
were not along its route 10000 people
when active building begun three or
four years ago, and there are not today
to exceed 10000. This is an exceed
ingly smali population fer the maints-
nance and support of riilroad ZOO
miles long, only about one eighth of the
resident population along the line of
the Northern Pacific. The Canadian
Pacific Railroad Company has dis
played unparalleled energy in building
its road, and wculd but for the set
hacks have finished il in half the time
allowed IL by Its charter, or in 1886, in
stead of 1880. With its enormous land
grant and subsidy. aud with grand

any rayerses the Canadian Pacific NAV
sustain will of necessity be Temporary

To the Honorable the County Commits
sioners of Montgomery county.


ATE, the undersigned, citizens and tax
w payers OF said county, respectfully rep
resent 10 your Honorable Body that the road
known sslhe River Road, running from Sem
ecu To Whites Ferry has been used tor the
past sixty years as public road, having
been worked by the county as such, but the
owners of the land said road runs through
claim that the land was condemned but new
er paid for by the county for public road
hence they claim the privilege Of putting
gates and other distractions on said road
rendering Il of very little use as public high
way and hardly passable in some parts of il
as a good private road.
Now we would respectfully petition your
Honorable Body that the public convenience
requires the opening Of public road on or
near said road-bed, free OF obstruction. We
therefore ask your Honorable Body TO APP
point Examiners to locate said road and make
It public highway for the use and benefit of
the public.
