priced or not That is we'll enough. We
naturally make no complaint What we
complain of is that the rates charged by the
Pacific Mail and the railroads on coffee from
Central America via San Francisco to the
Colorado and Mississippi rivers and Great
Lake territory are greatly in excess of the
rates that our competitors have TO pay. We
want to know why this should be SO? Why
should San Francisco be SO badly treated
by the transportation companies?"

An improvement has been made on the
Haight-street diamond by cutting away the
sod on a three-foot strip from the home
plate TO the pitchers box. This is for the

The CALLS investigation yesterday took
e turn toward coffee. 1t was ascertained
without much trouble why San Francisco is
finding it uphill work to get into the mid
continental territory with Central American
coffee.
Ii was also ascertained why we cannot
sell more of our manufactures and agri-
cultural products in Mexico and Central
America.
The key 10 the whole question is rates OF
transportation. They are abnormally high.
Why are they high? Because the Pacific
Mail ard the Transcontinental Association
make them so.
