COMMISSIONER FooTE's FLoP-Foote, the
great friend of the Barry bill, for which the
extra session was called to pass, now favors

per mile upon long hauls. The Eranai,,er
and Foote are probably beginning to learn
some sense, and that it is unreasonable to
make the same pro rata rate per mile for
one thousand miles as for five miles or less.
Their former action looked like creating
monopoly for producers close around the
bay, no matter if more time should be oc-
cupied in the loading and unloading than
in the hauling Yreka Journal.

The RECoRD-U UNION, in an article point
ing out what has been accomplished by
persistently advertising the resources OF
southern California, urges that similar
effort should be made in directing attention
to the central and northern portion of the
State, saying that " The people of central

in the same matter. They occupy a region
which must be the center of population in
California, and which presents far more
certain and substantial claims for the in
coming immigrant than any other section
of the State @ The RECORD UNION

esting description of northern central
