FROM the San Francisco Examiner we
reproduce today an article on the Union
Pacific extension from Salt Lake that has
matter in it. The paragraph comes
from the end of an interview had with
Mr.. Crocker, of the Southern Pacific, on
his return the other day from the East.
The situation as outlined by the San
Francisco paper, while not quoted as
coming from Mr.. Crocker, yet has the ap.
pearance of being authorized by him. II
that is correct statement of the situa
ton, the Union Pacific must build to this
Coast in sheer self defense to protect it's
interests against what is practically q
paralleling of that road by the Southern
Pacific between Salt Lake and Denver.
The Union Pacific must then come West

The State Citrus Fair that closed Sat.
urday night was grand thing for the
orange industry of Southern California
It gave in beautiful compactn ess an
object lesson of the highest importance
1t showed at a glance that we possess ali
the elements of land, climate and water
to make this the richest productive
country on the face of the globe. When
q small settlement like Riverside can
truthfully say that it has received from
it's orange crop this year over million
dollars, and from its rsisins, nuts, etc.,
half q million more, the possibilities Of
wealth from our soil are almost without
limit. And when we reflect upon the
hundreds of localities that have equal
opportunities to become as great pro-
ducers of the citrus fruits, ETC., as River.
side, the future of our section becomes
something wonderful to contemplate
Every year shows that production can
be counted upon with less volume Of
irrigation than we used to consider indis.
pensable; SO that with proper water
systems there is hardly an acre access
sible to irri CATION that cannot be success
fully planted to trees and vines. The
demand for orange land will steadily in.

Starving ITS Wards.
PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-Bisbop
Stanley, of North Dakota, in the cathedral
today told pitiable story of the priva.
tons and sufferings of the Chippewa In.
dians, occupying q reservation on the
extreme northern part of his diocese.
His object was to secure assistance for
their relief. He described wildly the
condition of these Indians as witnessed
by himself during the recent cold weather.
when the Thermometer marked 40 degrees
below zero. He charged the Govern
ment with having stolen IL ,000, 900 acres
of land this tribe possessed when Dakota
and Chippewas. The Indians, he said.
were ssnt to the northern border OF the
State, where two townships were organ
with bad forests, lakes, swamps
Indians, who are trying to
make living where 100 white men
could scarcely raise enough to keep them
alive. He says their huts are miserably
insufficient, and as many as six families
are crowded into some of them. They
never have been supplied with proper
agricultural implements. With plows
sent them by the Catholic Indian bureau
last spring they managed to break 800
acres of soil, but there was no rain, and
today they are absolutely destitute. No
grain, no food, no clothing. The United
states, he says, appropriates $1,000 to
these Indians, about So so each. This is
spent for -four and fat pork, and dis
tributed amongst them. The pork is
sickening. During the eighteen months
previous to the 1st of January, out of
l 400 Indians 100 died. During January
twenty-seven Gied, and these deaths are
almost invariably the result of starva-
tiou. The Bishop related many in
cidents of destitution, and said he would
not have believed the story had he not
Witnessed the scenes himself.

THE CARLOAD UASES.
They Are Decided Against the
Trunk Lines.

WASHINGTON, March 16.--The Inter-
state Commission yesterday decided the
cases against the trunk lines, by F. B.
Thurber and others, of New York City,
known as "the carload cases." in favor
of the complainsnts. Complaint waa
made of the too great differences of rates
charged on carload and less than car
load quantities. Following are extracts
from the decision: Carriers are not at
liberty to classify property as q basis of
transportation rates and impose4charges
for its carriage, with exclusive regard to
their own interests, but must respect the
interests of those who may have occasion
to employ their services, and conform
their charges to the rules of relative
equality and justice, which the ac
prescribes. The cost of the service is an
important element in fixing the trans.
portation charges, and is entitled to fair
consideration, but is not alone con-
trolling; and the value of the service to
the property carried is an essential factor
to be recognized in connection with
other considerations. Public interests
are not to be subordinatsd to those Of
the carriers, and require proper regard
for the value OF the service in the appor-
tionment of all charges upon traffic. A
difference in rates upon carloads and
less than carloads OF the same mer-
chandise, between the same points Of
carriage, 80 wide as to be destructive to
competition between large and small
dealers, especially upon articles OF gen
eral and necessary use, and which
under the exciting conditions Of
trade furnish q large vol
ume of business to carrers, is
unjust and violates the provisions and
principles of the act. A diffeencs in
rate for solid carload OF one kind of
freight from one consignor to me con-
signee, and carload quaatity fpm the
same point of shipment to tn, same
destination, consisting of like freight, or
freight of like character, from mre than
one consignor to one consignee, r from
one consignor to more than one con-
signee, is not justified by the difference
in COST Of handling, land under tht official
qualification articles known in rade as
grocery articles are 30 clsssiie. as to

A PALPABLE FRAUD.
Interesting Evidence I'm the Neisop-
AlcrYOn Oahe.

BUFFALO, March 16.-Duripg the hear
ing in the case against the National
Trorting Association yesterday, growing
out of the noted Nelson Alcryon race,
an interesting affidavit was submitted,
being that of G. w. Archer, President OF
the Rochester Driving PARK, and one OF
the judges Of the race. He affirmed in
substance that few months alter the
race he met Frank Noble, who, accord
ing to Archer's understanding, had con.
trol of Alcryon during 1889; that Noble
told him he had the horse
shod few days before the race,
SO that no driver would drive
him to win. Noble further stated to
Archer that before the race began he
had agreed to let Nelson win the race,
and had Nelson's check for So 900 before
the race started; tina. ..he (Noble) won
second money and got 81 500 out OF the
race. Deponent asked him: Don't you
think you are taking,desperate chances ?''
and Noble said: "What would you have
done about it if you had observed the
fraud at the timer" Deponent replied
that if they had known of the fraud at
the time the judges would have declared
the pools and race off.
The case is under advisement by the
court.

UNTHINKING people talk of real estate
in Los Angeles being held at unreason-
ably high prices. The man who says this
is the fact, either says what he does not
believe or is talking about something he
does not understand. The HERALD to-.
day prints letter from an Angelefi }
now visiting Salt Lake City, which will
show how realty in that place is selling
The best business property has sold for
50 800 per foot. The best acreage is
selling at $500 an acre away outside
the city proper. Outside OF the
city limits, more than a mile
rom the periphery, property is
selling at $500 an acre. These
prices "see us and go US one better
than the best we did in the widest era
OF our boom. If any one compares our
property with that at Salt Lake as to in.
trinsic value, he does not know the two
places ia their present status nor in their
future prospects. Our eyes will open
wide enough at the values our property
will bring one of these days, and not q
distant one by any means.

ment Ever Made.

HAMILTON, O, March 16,-The i'm
mense armor-plate bending machine,
made by the Niles Tool Work for the
