THE GREAT RAILROAD WAR.

The Pacific trunk lines are in state
of active warfare. Three steamboat
companies are also engaged in the
conflict. This strife may be traced to
the movement for lower freight rates
which the San Francisco merchants set
on foot about a year ago. The Southern
Pacific paid slight attention to their
demands. 1t felt confident that in con-
cert with the other companies in the
trunk line association it could maintain
rates and defy opposition The mer-
chants, under the guidance of Mr..
Leeds, veteran railroad manager,
took steps to build an independent
railroad line to the East. But Califor-
MIA needed more speedy relief than
this project could provide. Accordingly
tlIe merchants promoted the lines Of
clipper ships which make regular voy-
ages from New York to San Francisco
carrying goods at about eight dollars
per ton. These lines made such inroads
on the freight business that the trunk
line association withdrew the subsidy
which 1t paid the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company to maintain high rates |
and prepared for a free fight by going |
out of existence. The next step of the |
San Francisco merchants was to estab-
lish the North American Steamship
Company for the purpose of trading
with New York by way of the 18TH
mas of Panama. This scheme, designed
to provide more rapid transit than the
clipper ships afford, has made steady
progress, and is In fair way to Grip
pie the once powerful Pacific Mail,
whose stock is quoted as low as 2G in
the New York market.
Finding that the first year Of this
warfare had reduced its receipts about
a million dollars, the Southern Pacific
lowered Its rates considerably. In order
to compete with the North American
steamers, the Southern Pacific offers
rates almost as low-wlth the advantage
of quick dispatch, 1t ensures the latter
by sending the goods by railroad to
New Orleans, whence they are carried ,
speedily by steamer to New York. But ]
all this does not make the San Fran
cisco merchants relent They have CIV 9
en- up the Independent railroad scheme, 9
for the present at least, and are keeping !
their pledges to support both the steam
Ships and the clipper lines. $
The Canadian Pacific now bids for the
California trade by announcing lower
rates than the Southern Pacific. BY
means OF its steamboats, and Its con-
Meeting lines in the East, the Canadi-
an octopus expects to compete Success
fully with all the American lines in
this much-disputed commercial field.
The Oregon Pacific, which is now In
good hands, also appears as n compet-
itor 1t Is conducting Il flank movement
ON the Willamette valley by It's COM
bined railroad and steamship line. 1t
endangers the supremacy of Portland
in that valley by carrying merchan-
idse form San Francisco to Albany
at less rates than freight is carried to
that and other valley towns by the
Southern Pacific from Portland. The
Oregon even uses its competitors lines
to distribute goods that II has brought
from San Francisco to Albany.
This wide-spreading conflict must
benefit Astoria considerably 1t ought

Why do not those interested in en-

1t would be something new and pleas

blackbird party is very easily managed,
too, and it's success consists of twenty
four little girls, who are dressed in short
WASTED, long-skirted gowns of black
paper cambria, wide sashes of black
carleton and fancy black carleton caps.
An immense pie is made constructed
from wooden frame covered over with
tissue paper, and this is filled wi h gifts,
each of which is secured by a ribbon
string which comes from the center of
the pie crust. The little girls sell these
gifts by tickets, and wh3n the time
comes for opening the pie they form into
ring and sing:
"Sing a song of sixpence
A pocketful of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked into pie,
When the pie vas opened
The birds began to sing,
Wasn't that a dainty dish

The holders of the tickets then go for
ward and each takes hold of a ribbon, by
which means he secures his prize. There
must be one valuable prize in the pie,
and the rest may be little, inexpensive
things.
