OUR FIRE PROTECTION.

The test of sixty pounds water pressure
in the city mains yesterday from the
Holly and Stevens pumps, as a
means OF extinguishing fires in their
inoipiency in the eastern end of the
city, demonstrated that there should
be not less than two hose reels, with e
horse, driver and hoseman TO each, located
east of Twelfth street, between and o.
The pressure was steadily maintained for
some hours, and from one tc three streams
thrown with force and to good distance
through 100 feet of hose. Excepting the
new Pavilion, it has now been proven,
through the exertions of the Citizens As
ISOLATION, that economy and the safety of
buildings from fire will be conserved by the
location of hose companies as suggested,
and these would probably prove equal to
ordinary fires until the engines arrive, and
do COED service thereafter ;slso. The test
gives renewed confidence in our system Of
fire protection, but Il was made evident
that the four.iuGh mains should be dis.
placed as rapidly as possible by larger
pipes, and that new snd large pipes should
be laid from Sixteenth street. to the new
Pavilion, one block distant, and hydrants
be planted opposite each wing of that
structure. With these precautions, and
the east end will be as we'll protected as
the business portion of the city.

TEE PEOPLE WANT TIE ROAD.

Referring to the proposition in Congress
in the bill of Mr.. Payson to forfeit the
land grant to the California and Oregon
road, the Marysville Appeal, published on
the line of road affected, says: This
matter should rice above any and all preju,
dices existing against the Central Pacific
Railroad. With railroad completed to
the north line OF the State, and the con-
nec.ion made with the Oregon road, all
lands will be worth three times what they
will be without it. Therefore the people
want the road, and they consent to the
gift Of these public lands because they can
not get the road in any other way"

Few MENACE TO THE COMMERCE OF
SAN FRANcIsCo AND SACRAMENTO.

The effect of the passage OF the resur-
rected Reagan interstate regulative railroad
bill would be damaging to trade centers at
competitive points in California, and
would practically destroy the iobbing bust
ness of San Francisco and Sacramento.
The bill provides that on railroads in no
case shall greater charge be made for a
less than for greater distance, That is
to say, there shall be no rate greater than
the through or competitive rate. For in
stance the rate for freight carriage from the
East to Reno, Wadsworth and like points
must be proportionslly less than to San
Francisco and Sacramento.
1t needs no elaboration on our part to
show that the effect of this measure, if it
becomes law, will be one Of two things
either to ruin the commerce of San Fran
cisco and Sacramento, or ruin the rail
roads, and perhaps it would accomplish
both. 1t would blot out in the first place
the competitive relation the two cities
now enjoy by reason of the meeting
of ship and rail. In the second place it
would confer upon non-competitive points
advantages not accorded by nature.
Under the Reagan bill it will cost San
| Francisco to get her goods by rail proper
tionately as much more than Sacramento, a
| Sacramento is nearer to the original East
ern point of shipment. It will cost Sacra-
| mento as much more than Truckee, as
Truckee is nearer the Eastern market than
Sacramento. In the meanwhile, no
regulative coercion applying to ocean
freights, the railroad carriers, to compete
| with the ships, must come down to the
ships prices for carriage, or refuse freight.
! If they do the first, then Dutch Flat,
Truckee, Reno, Elko and ike points will,
under the Reagan bill, be more highly IA
vored than San Francisco or Sacramento,
by receiving goods at like rates and in
shorter time,
Soundert this beautiful system proposed,
and which is the child of socialism and
communistic doctrines, the order of nature
is to be reversed, and rebuke admins
tered to cities fortunate by natural advan.
tages, in order to benefit places not SO ia,
vored. San Francisco would pay the highest
rate of freight on the coast, and it would
not be great pity either, since she has
been most selfish regarding her trade, and
only recently had the sudacity to demand
that railroad companies discriminate
against like competitive points in her favor
because she was what she is.
Now, it is net thinkable that the railroad
companies will abandon freight carriage,
and, therefore, if the bill becomes law,
the result will be to regulate rates accord
ing to distance on the basis of the lowest
or competitive rate. What the outcome
will be we have indicated.
