THE RAILROADS.
THE DECISION IN THE PASADENA
RATE MATTER.
The View the State Commissioners Took
of the Matter-The Rates to be Un-
changed-Notes.

The San Francisco Chronicle Of Tues
day gives the following report of the
decision of the state railroad commits
sion on the Pasadena passenger rate
suit:
The complaint of the citizens OF Pasa-
dena against the California Southern
railway and the Los Angeles Terminal
railway companies was disposed of at
the meeting of the board of railroad
commissioners yesterday. Commits
sioner Rea had been investigating the
matter for some weeks, and his report
was exhaustive. 1t opened with state
ment of the case, and alleged that the
city attorney of Pasadena, acting under
instructions from the board of trustees,
had prayed for the restoration of the
passenger rates between Los Angeles
and Pasadena which existed up to.
December 81, 1890. Early this year a
change was made, and the change gave
rise to the complaint. The original fares
for return, both unlimited as to date,
and thirty-day sixty-ride commutation
tickets for $5. The new rate fixed the
blChCb PiiOO oU Ptt otiO
made the single and return tick
cts good only for the day of issue.
The Pasadena people claimed that the
change had injured the town by driv-
ing away those who did business in Los
Angeles and resided in the suburban
town. Further. they said that the linn
iting of the tickets was practical in
crease of rates.
Mr.. Rea said that the Los Angeles
Terminal had demonstrated that since
May, 1890, and up to the time of the
change, it had lost steadily $1,000 a
month on the cost OF operation, and the
board could not oblige any road to re-
duce its rates and to continue in opera
ton at loss. He further stated that
the town benefited by the presence of
the two lines to the extent which it
could not do if one OF them ceased oper-
ating. eAs far as the California Southern
railway company was concerned there
were two reasons why the rates could
not be reduced on its lines. One of
these was that the rate of 1890 was
not made to meet competition, and the
other, that if the rates of 1890 should
be ordered re-established it would put
the Terminal road at manifest disad-
vantage. For these reasons he recon-
mended that the petition should not
be allowed. Commissioners Beckman
and Litchfield approved the report,
and so it was unanimously adopted.
NOTES.
Twenty carloads OF machinery from
Europe, for the Chino sugar factory, ar
rived yesterday from New Orleans, via
the Southern Pacific railroad.
The interstate railway commission
will not visit Southern California; they
left San Francisco for Denver yesterday.
w. H. Hamilton, general agent in
this city for the Chicago and Northwest
ern road, has returned from visit to
San Francisco.
The Terminal company has over one
thousand tons of steel rails en- route
from the east.
The Southern Pacific company an
nounces that it will make one fare rate
for the round trip, from all the towns
on its line to Los Angeles, on July Sd
and 4th, and good to return ON the 4th,
9th and 9th.
Travellers will do well to notice the
new time table of the Redondo railway,
printed elsewhere.

WETMORE'S PLAN.
How Vineyardists Can Become Owners
of DistiIleries.

HOW v1neyard1StS Ian Become owners
of Distilleries.
At the last meeting of the state viii
cultural commission, Charles A. Wet
more submitted report on the grape
interest. In connection Herewith he
also submitted a plan to increase the
price of grapes by making brandies on
the cooperative plan in vineyard dis
tricts. The plan is herewith briefly out
lined:
Let committee of men in each dis
trict go Immediately to wine-growers and
procure from them contracts promising
to deliver certain amount OF grapes to
trustee, who shall be authorized to
proceed for them to organize a company,
the cost of which shall be paid for by
the brandy which shall be distilled from
the grapes contributed. Let us suppose
that contracts amounting to 1000 tons of
grapes or more have been procured in
ore locality let there be nominal price
fixed for these grapes with certain
standard of sweetness, say $40 per ton
for grapes with 20 per cent. or more of
sugar, price to be reduced proportion
ately as the sugar shall fall under % per
contained above the standard.
AS soon as the grapes have been by
these trustees fermented, distilled and
sold, the distillery buildings, cooperage
and other appurtenances which have
been created in order to work this plan
may then be out of debt and transferred
to the proposed company and stock is
sued to those who furnished grapes in
proportion to the nominal value as
agreed. In this way an effective plant
for distilling can be created and paid for
within six months from the time of vim
tage, and there would probably be also
profit out of which dividend might
be declared.
Roughly estimated, $4,000 would be
ample to secure land, construct cheap
buildings for fermentation only, tanks
for fermentation, together with an ada
cent distillery of the most improved and
effective pattern, capable of managing
1000 tons of grapes in one sea-
son. These 1000 tons of grapes
would realize when sold as
brandy within six months not less than
$4,000, so there would be surplus for
management and expenses of operation.
1t is more than probable that there
would be an income of at least $4,000
more, which could be used to increase
the facilities of this winery and distill-
cry for future use.

I take this opportunity Of highly recommend
ing DR.. Wong Him's abilities as physician TO

fee, 639 Upper Main street l had a consulta
ton, and after an examination of my pulse he
gave me a powder for my lips and medicine in
ternally, and said he, would cure me in one
week or ten days, and at the expiration Of that
time declined to give me any more medicine,
because was cured, which statement l fully
endorse, for have not been SO well for a long
time. JOSEPH r. DUBBS,
February IS, 1891. Los Angeles, Cal.
had been sick five months, paid out large
sums of money for doctors and medicines but
derived no benefit. DR.: Wong Him was recon.
mended to me by a friend did not think l

very bad and getting worse all the time. DR..
Wong Him took me in this condition; he has
in two months time entirely cured me, and

efficient and skillful physician.
