SHIPPERS AGHAST.
A Probability of a Big Advance In
Freight Rates.

A Probability OF q Big Advance In
Freight Rates.
The special announcement to shippers
published in yesterday mornings HER
AID by the Southern Pacific is a matter
OF great moment to the mercantile inter
ests, and numbers of the leading traders
of the city were eagerly inquiring yester-
day for further particulars. The trouble
is simply this: On goods shipped across
the continent each line over which the
consignment passes receives it's pro rata
of the freight according to mileage. The
lines controlled by the Central Traffic
Association, that is, those between Chi
cago and st. Louis and innumerable other
points east of the river, announce that in
future they will not accept the pro rata,
but must have their fIlll local rates for
every pound of freight they handle. If
this position is maintained it means an
alarming advance all around on goods
brought either way across the continent.
The transcontinental roads, that is, those
plying between the Pacific coast
and the Missouri river will not be
able to ship goods say at at 81 a hundred
to New York if the lines east of them de-
mand a big percentage of that dollar.
The Southern Pacific Company has there
fore grappled with the difficulty at once
by announcing that after January oath
(the customary ten days. notice) they
will withdraw from the through rates
east-bound from California, published in
transcontinental tariff No. 10 to Cincin-
natl, Detroit and common points, to
Pittsburg, Buffalo and common points
by all routes and to New York, Boston
Philadelphia and Baltimore and points
common with each by all routes, that is
to say they will not contract with ship.

rates. OF course via New Orleans to
New York they can make their own quo.

they can do what they please.

THE RACE.
Miss Myrtle Peek Defeats Henry
Peppers by a Quarter Mile.

Miss Myrtle Peek Defeats Henry
Peppers by a Quarter Mile.
There was not very large attendance
ct Agricultural Park yesterday afternoon
when the 10-mile race between Miss
Myrtle Peek and Henry Peppers took
place. The weather may doubtless have
had something to do with this. but it
was noticeable that the majority of those
present were ladies. The pool-selling
was not very brisk, but Miss Myrtle was
the favorite.
At few minutes after half-past three
O'Clock Miss Peek appeared upon the
inner course in black velvet habit, and
the eight horses we're led in front of the
Judges box. Peppers soon put in an ap-
pearance. At the word "go," Peppers
on the inside track, was three-quarters
of length in the lead, and this slight
advantage he maintained until nearly
home at the end of the first mile, when
Miss Peek passed him and got In two
lengths ahead. Getting off first, Miss
Myrtle took the lead, but putting on a
spurt Peppers caught her, and the
1.-TWO came in we'll together. Pep
pers was quicker in changing for
the third mile, but evidently
saving his horse was again passed and
came in a few lengths behind. Miss
Peek had some trouble with her fresh
mount and tie colored boy again got off
first amid great excitement. His mount
however was inferior to that of his
opponent who caught and passed him at
the ID post and won the fourth mile by
six lengths. Changing in the marvel
lously quick time Of 81 seconds, Miss
Peek got away for the fifth mile in
splendid style and maintaining her lead
all the way increased her lead to twenty
Lengths, and again changing in "A
seconds was away and at the corner be-
fore Peppers got his fresh mount. Rid.
ing for all she was worth Miss Peek won
the sixth mile by one-eighth of mile,
and this she gradually increased until
she won an exciting race by quarter oi
q mile in 81 minutes and 26 seconds.
This afternoon Miss Peek will make
her last appearance in Southern Cali
fornia in q five-mile race against Miss
Williams, who it will be remembered
beat her the other day SO unexpectedly
By special request Of the ladies of Los
Angeles, Miss Peek will also ride he,
Roman standing race, one mile to beat

"Brown., whose hams do you use"
"I always buy the Lilly put up by the
Los Angeles Cold Storage Company"
"Why do you prefer the Lilly hams ?"
Because they are sweeter, and are
smoked in this city. All hams not
branded the Lilly are smoked either at
San Francisco or in the Eastern cities,
and you cannot tell how long they have
been smoked before shipping, and then
they are from ten to fifteen days on the
road so you see they are quite ancient
by the time they reach Los Angeles,
while the Lilly hams are put on the
market fresh every day."

The County Taxes and Roads.

EDITORS HERALD-Quits interesting
items you had lately in regard to the
finances of the county, and you ask what
has become of the money? 1t has been
a question in the county the last year from
the fact that when Bilderrain three
years ago assessed the county it
was something over $40,000,000. Then
came Mason the following year and
raised it to some 500 1000, 900. There was
howl raised against Mason (and right,
too). The Supervisors went to Sacra-
mento and got a reduction of 10 per cent.
Now what did this same Board do after
getting home? While, the year before,
this tax levy was 81 40, this Board raised
it to $1.5O on Mason's assessment Of
500, 900, 900. The last year under Bilder-
rains valuation the levy for road pur-
poses was II cents; next year under
Mason's it was raised to 25 cents on the
81. This fund is supposed to be appor-
toned to the different road funds in the
districts, and the rule has been that
it had to be used up. Well, after the rainy
season is over and the sun is warm
and comfortable to the Roadmaster, he
goes to work and plows and grades up
the roads, and there they stay all sum-
mer, impossible, people driving along
side until the rains come again and set.
tie the clods and dust.
And the Board of Supervisors was so
anxious to get cash that man who
wanted to work his road tax out got only
50 per day for himself and team.
We say that if the roads cannot be
worked while there is moisture enough
to pack the ground they should be let
alone, except putting straw on sandy
places, and if the funds of the county
have been squandered who is RESPONSE
BILE for it? Let US have an expert 60
through the books, let the next grand
jury Investigate this business. 1t doesn't
look just now as if we were going to get
any relief from our new Board. Time
will tell. The extra Clerks deputy's X
looks bad. SMALL FARMER.

A SERIOUS CHARGE
Preferred Against a Deputy County
Clerk.

Preferred Against a Deputy County
Clerk.
w. D. Rogers, deputy county clerk,
was arrested yesterday on a charge OF
embezzlement preferred by Augustus
Johnson. The complainant accuses
Rogers of having embezzled $465.50 en-
trusted to him for safe keeping, and
states that couple years ago he gave
Rogers $500 to keep for him until de-
manded. At various times he drew
small amounts from Rogers, but short
time since he asked for another small
amount which Rogers, after putting him
off from time to time, refused to give
him. He then swore out the warrant.
The friends of Rogers state that there is
nothing in the charge and that he will
come out all right. His bail was fixed
in the sum Of $500.
