RATES ON LUMBER.
Prospects Of a Heavy Season in
Fruit Shipments.

There is a big fight on between the lum-
bernen of Santa Clara and Sauta Cruz coun-
ties and the Southern Pacific Company.
The State Board of Railroad Commission
ers will act as The medium through which
the jibes and blows Of the contestants Will
be transmitted to each other and to the out
side world. The lumber people claim that
they cannot compete with the northern mar
ket at The present rates levied by the South
ern Pacific Company, and that corporation
answers that the charges in lumber ship
ments are only fair and must be malntalned.
The trouble has been brewing for year or
so, and during the latter part Of March, at
the solicitation Of a number of millmen oil
FELTON, and Boulder Creek. the rate was re-
duced from IS 80 to So thousand between
Boulder Creek and San Jose, and from SIS 20
TO So between FELTON, and San Jose. This
was not satisfactory, however. for the re-
ductlOn asked was nothing less than 81 Oh a
thousand. A heavy cut was also made III
charges on firewOod, and the rate on TINS
article is now 30 per cent cheaper than that
on lumber. This branch of the Southern
Pacific depends for revenue entirely upon
local business, and outside of wood and lum-
Der shipments there is nothing done IN
freight worth speaking OF. The road Is
through a mountainous district and main
tenance is very expensive. In view OF THESE
facts the request for a reduction will 0e de-
MED in the company's answer which Will
be filed with the Commissioners in lew
days.
Reports concerning the fruit prospects for
this season, received at Southern Pacific
headquarters from agents and shippers sta
toned at various points throughout the
State, are encouraging and seem to verify
the many predictions of an unusually heavy
yield. With this prospect in view the COM
pany has greatly improved its facilities for
handling overland shipments by building
and repairing large number Of refriger-
atOr cars. The first carload OF cherries for
this season left Newcastle yesterday for the
East, and the crop in that vicinity Is re-
ported heavy. There are 500 carloads OF
oranges in the south ready TO be moved,
which viii close the orange season. Out OF
1900 carloads sent overland by the Southern
Pacific $500 were destined to points east OF
the Missouri River.

pany would erect rOund-nOuSe at San Luis
Obispo to accommodate thirty engines is not
correct. 1t will Go nothing at or near San

BEARDED IN THEIR DEN.
The Bold Burglary of the Propert
Clerks Room.

The Bold Burglary of the Property
Clerks Room.
Considerable merriment was expressed
about the old City Hall yesterday over the
burglary of the Property Clerks Office, I'M
der the very nose Of the police, as it were.
Had Night Waterman Murphy attended to
his duties properly, the place wherein are
stored thOuSan DIS of dollars worth of prop
erty taken from prisoners and much valua-
bic evidence would not have been entered.
Property Clerk Cullen and his assistants
were actively engaged all day in taking an
account of stock. Articles of every de-
scription were found in heap in the middle
of the room. AS far as could be ascertained
about $3.50 in money and a silver watch
we're carried off by the daring thieves. The
fact that the door had been forced with a
Jimmy, which was found i'll the hallway,
and the burglary committed within twenty
feet of two score of blue-cOated guardians
of the peace. rather ruf1led Chief Crowley's
good nature.

the affair, ''the burglars bearded the lion in
his den and were Startlingly successful.
They drew tin boxes from pigeon-hOles and
opened many packages that contained

erty clerk, left at 10 o'clock last night and
returned at midnight. when be discovered

is completed. The stolen watch was taken
on the steamer TamalpaiS on Sunday from
two ex-cOnvctS named Mccoy and Thomp-
son, who were arrested on charge of
having stolen the tImepiece from an excur-
sionist. 1t is believed by the investigating
officers that friends OF Mccoy AMI Thomp-
son committed the daring burglary. Two
ex-convicts were seen leaving the hallway
just before the burglary was discovered and
the police are looking for them.

A NATION OF BOODLERS

The last accounts of the financial
methods of the Argentine Republic
are almost beyond credulity. Here is
presented the disgraceful spectacle OF
a nation of bOOdlers, nation whose
every official is unblushingly after the
money there is in every scheme. 1t is
not to be wondered at that men with
fertile imaginations are prolific in
schemes and in devising ways and
means of looting the treasury. The
hardest part to understand is how
foreign financiers could be so duped.
Men whose skill in finance had enabled
them to amass large fortunes are
made the victims of INSCRIPTIONS
agents. These agents found willing
coadjutors in the officials, and the re-
suit was that debts accum ulated be-
yond the ability Of any nation to pay.
1t is safe to say that the Argentine
Republic is mortgaged for more than
IL is worth and the government is
practically bankrupt. II the nation
could go into the hands of receiver
the bondholders might be able to re
alize percentage, but it looks now as
II they would lose everything.
The original trouble with the Ar
gentine Republic was that it began &
new system Of inanciering that was
not based on the superstition that every
man works first for himself and then
for his country. The attention of th'
country was turned to money, and i
was scnttered promiscuously through
out the country. When every maj
had a plenty no thought was given u
the future. No provision was mad
for redeeming the currency, and /
soon lost its value. The experiment
was tested Of having money withou
actual value, either in itself or re
deeming. The result was disastrous
and ought to be lesson to the worl,
not to go headlong into any schem
without first subjecting it to thor
Ough examination.

For Lower Rents

EDITOR OF HERALD: During the pres
ent cry of hard times, is it not advisable
and necessary to maintain the dignity and
pride Of our city where we propose to
stay, provided our landlords will come to
our assistance and show their considera-
tion by reducing rents in generaP
Until such time comes that the mer-
chants Of Fairhaven will most willingly
pay the advance in rent as times improve.
It Is a wellknown fact that most OF our
merchants, during the fiercesG stringency
of business, are paying boom time '
rents.
Comparing this fact with business at
present, it will become no more than a
Just concession on the side of our land
lords to reduce the rents Of their many
establishments, and then bring them
within the reach of merchants and in
keeping with the times.
We feel positive that all merchants In
Fairhaven will concur with us in the
sentiments Of this article. Yours, etc.
Two MERCHANTS.

1T WAS A SUCCESS

The university meeting last night
was a success, and the efforts made
and to be made will be successful in
raising the endowment in land and a
great deal of cash. Fairhaven's earn
est enthusiasm was there, and with
the presentation of the proposition by
Rev. DR.. Mcmillan and Rev. DR.. Laid
law, with some eXhortiOns from citi-
zens of Fairhaven and Whatcom,
many heavy combinations were made,
and to all present it seemed that the
great university on Bellingham bay is
a fOregone conclusion.
The committee appointed to solicit
contributions will work hard, no
doubt, at the matter, and will, no
doubt, be eminently successful in Sc
curing the remaining quantities OF
land and money to make the endow-
ment complete. Mr.. Larrabee's NUM-
ficently liberal offer, to add 100000 to
such a sum donated by any other ten
men, has simply secured, already,
500, 900, in one lump for the grand
scheme, aside from all the
other donations in land and
money, and the great city that is grow
ing on Bellingham Bay bids fair to be
the Athens of the West.
At the hour of writing, and the
pressure on these columns this morn
the details Of last nights meeting
cannot be thoroughly discussed in the
paper this morning, but elsewhere the
HERALD's reporters have given an
account Of it, that will be mighty in
terestin' readin' to those who have
heart in the scheme, and they should
be every man, woman and child il
Fairhaven who love the Focal Cit.
and are proud of its achievements, it
promises and prospects.

OUR BOYS

Our boys are the hope of the coun-
try's future, and it is certain that
Fairhaven boys, with very few excep-
tions, will compare favorably with
those of any city Of its size. But
there is a wrong impression in the
minds of many parents and guardians
that the boy can run wild, like an I'M
tanned broncho and SOW his wild oats
with impunity and still come out all
right when he becomes a man.
Some wild boys may settle down and
become steady, worthy citizens, but
many naturally good boys are ruined
by bad and vicious associates. We
shield our girls from the wicked world
becauseth are girls, but many of us
allow the boy to roam the streets al
late hours, where they come in cor
tact with some of the worst Of char
acters and more less imbibe the spirit
of the hobos and criminals. We learT
everything by comparison and the DO!
who sees vice and its yotaries by tn
