R. G. Sheath, president of the Con-

ern Pacific company, in which it is
claimed that there would be a large de-
mand for ice throughout the warm val
leys of the state were it not for the high
rates of transportation. The statement
is made in the complaint that the rates
of the Southern Pacific company are ten
times as much as the combination rates
of all the roads leading from the great
lakes. The rate is stated to be in the
east . cent per ton per mile, and
cents per ton per mile in California.
The complainant asks that the subject
be investigated, and that the Southern
Pacific company be compelled to reduce
the rate on ice. The petitioner is of the
opinion that three times as much as the
eastern rate should be allowed, or ~
cents per mile for each ton.
