THE KERNEL OF rRUpH.

Mr.. Richard Gray, General Traffic
Manager of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, laid rich kernel of truth before
the Senate committee Monday night, re-
garding development of Southern Cali
fornia, when he showed that there is mis-
apprehension in crediting it wholly to the
entry of the Atchison and Santa Fe Rail
road.
He quoted freely from General Chip
mans address before the State Horticult-
ural Convention last fall, in which it was
shown what a remarkable growth there
has been in fruit and other productions in
the whole State, and in citrus fruit pro-
duction in the south within a compare
lively small acreage. In 1891, Southern
California received sl.796.OOO for oranges
alone, and this year the receipts will be
larger. In the winter of 1Ss0-l, Riverside
shipped fifteen carloads of oranges; in
lsS9-90 she shipped 1850 carloads. Mr..
Gray then says:
And I would say right here, while not abat-
ing q jot from the debt we owe our Santa Fe
Santa Feawas not completed to Santa Barbara
until 1886, and did not have its own lines
into Los Angeles until June, 1887; therefore
the wonderful development about which we
The record-union., 1893-02-08

have been talking was due to the Central Pa
cine and Southern Pacific, who created and
fostered it.
The development to which he refers
has been the quadrupling of deciduous
fruit production in California between
1870 and 1880, and quintupling the aggre-
gate of 1880 in 1891, and adding to that
total immensely in 1892.
California had in 1870, the initial rail-
way year, Sl69. .636, ,346 of real estate values,
or 1903 per head. That by 1880 increased
to 1868 per capita, and in 1890 to $40 per
capita, or a total of $3.50, 80, $50 of real
estate values.
But Kansas had in 1890 less than one
fourth as much wealth. She increased
her values between 1880 and 1890 but
S129, ,402, 900, though she had 1900 miles of
railroads in 1890, while California, with
about 4,300 miles, increased her values in
the same period S4e6, 1855, 900.
California added in twenty years to her
values SS2l, 100000, Notwithstanding the
uecllne OF the mining industry. Her in
crease was nearly equal to the whole
wealth of Kansas for all her history, yet
we are told that Kansas is the model
State for US, and that her railroads have
done for her so much more than railroad
ing has done for California.
Clearly the truth justifies Mr.. Gray's
claim that Californ1a's increase in taxable
values is directly traceable to the con-
which gave her communication and direct
connection with the millions of people in
the great East. If cause and effect have
any value in statistical science, they GER
tainly prove Mr.. Gray's proposition.
The record-union., 1893-02-08
FAIR PLAY NOT THEIR JEWEL.

For nine weary months "a leading
member of the San Francisco Traffic AS
sociation' has bubbled daily in the agi-
tation press of San Francisco over the al
legged woes of California and the curse
the railroad system of the State has been
to it. This same leading member"
otherwise Mr.. Leeds for the most part,
has fairly frothed with statistics to prove
that the Traffic Associations position is
sound, and that it should dictate the
transportation policy of the State.
Now comethe railway carriers of the
State, representing railroads thirty-two
in number, and make their showings be-
fore legislative committee and retute
every proposition laid down by "a lead
ing member of the association" How
may we expect the agitation and rabid
anti-railroad press of the metropolis to
treat these exhibits?
Will they give them as freely and prom
inently as they have the expressions of
''a leading member of the Traffic As
sociation? VIII they rise to the level OF
good journalism and give their readers
opportunity to read what the carriers
they have assaulted have to say? Ger
tainly not: they will dismiss the replies
with the old excuse they have so often re-
sorted to. They will say 1.-THE railroad
companies have presented long addresses
and great mass of figures and compari-
sons, all showing, of course, that the 1ail-
road is beneicence and a blessing, and
that it is as harmless as dove"
Something of that sort may be ex-
pected; unless indeed, which is not un-
common in San Francisco journalism,
they pretend to report the facts, but dis
tort, mangle and misrepresent them. In
that art the San Francisco agitation press
finds no one to dispute with it for the
laurel wreath
The record-union., 1893-02-08

Thus he would produce desired effect,
and trust to luck regarding the exposure
of the chicane.
Mr.. Curtis, Assistant General Manager
of the Southern Pacific Company, before
the Senate Committee Monday night,
laid bare the trickery of Leeds in this
matter. Heshowed by citation of figures
open to the inspection of anyone-and
the facts supporting which are easily dis
proved. if the citation is unreliable-that
fuel cost for locomotives is fully twenty
per cent. of the total expenditure for
maintenance. Next, that the cost of fuel
per mile run by locomotives is, on the
Pacific system. 1912 cents, while on the
California lines proper, it is in excess of
that figure. On roads west of the Allie
ghanies, the average cost is 5.96 cents.
But Mr.. Leeds has dinned it into the
ears of the readers of the sensational
press that twice the quantity Of coal is
required at the East for the same service
as in this State, basing his state
ment upon the report of the Atchi-
son road for 1892, and of the Southern
Pacific Company for 1891. Here develops
the disingenuousness of the man, for by
the same reports the fuel cost of the
Southern Pacific is 1912, while that of the
Atchison is S.57. Besides this, he avoided
an important truth, to wit, that the statis-
tics used do not represent conditions east
ofthe Rocky Mountains, but relate to I, ,130
miles of the Atchison system covering
roads in Mexico, Arizona and New Mex
leo, and in Southern California, only one
seventh of the mileage being in Kansas.
But here comes to the surface the most
bare-faced cheat that has yet been proved
against Leeds. By Mr.. Curtis showing
1t appears that the Traffic Associations
expert in his remarkable calculations
whollyomitted the wood used by railroads
as fuel, combining himself entirely to
coal consumption. in 1891 the..Pacific sys-
used 57O, ,l02 tons of coal and 14l ,793 cords
OF wood in running locomotives 20, 1856, $50
miles. Leeds ignored the item of wood
and taking the total miles made by loco
motives in California divided it into the
coal total and thus found but fifty-six
pounds of coal used per locomotive mile.
AS matter of fact the al, ,793 cords of
wood, on the basis of cord and a half
being equal to one ton of coal, added to
the coal used, represents sixty-five pounds
of fuel instead of fifty-six per locomotive
mile. The Atchison also uses wood, and
in the same report quoted by Leeds sets
out that it consumed 81, ,565 cords of wood,
which on the same basis employed
as to the coal value of wood gives
eighty pounds of coal used per loco
motive mile instead of los, as alleged by
Leeds.
In the face OF these facts what sort of
expert knowledge and capacity does
Leeds develop? What reliance is to be
placed upon a man who would make
1alsehood ore of the basic stones on
which to erect railroad tariff to be-
come one of the pillars of the Constitu-
ton? Shall not this one cheat, casting
aside all the others of which he has been
convicted, justify the rejection of his en-
tire testimony according to the maxim,
taLSus i1t at,lo, faISus IN omnibus?

HOW LEEDS LIED ABOUT FUEL.

The gentleman who exposes it speaks
of it as if it were an error in computation;
but such charity of Judgment is unwar-
ranted. for it is clear that Mr.. Leeds-if
he is half the railroad man that he claims
TO be-falsified, when in calculating loco
motive fuel used in California, he omit
ted wood. He probably speculated upon
the public not thinking of that element.

There is no ground for the published
report that visitors to the worlds fair
ere to be made the victims of exorbi-
tant charges Competition will be so
extensive and sharp as to prevent it.
One who climbs to the top of the expo
sition buildings and surveys the terrific
ry lying to the north, west and south of
jackson park can easily believe this
statement. There, and indeed in all
parts of the city, the amount of build
ing which Is gong on is simply aston
ishing Hundreds of structures to meet
worlds fair demands are being erected.
Some of the new hotels are large enough
to accommodate several thousand guests
each By the time the fair opens Chi
cago will have living accommodations
for not less than three hundred thou
sand strangers. Connected with the
exposition management is bureau of
public comfort, through the agency of
which many thousands of visitors can
be directed to hotels, apartments,
boarding houses, furnished rooms, ETC.,
where they will be comfortably cared
for at moderate prices. Eating facili-
tief, both outside the fair grounds and
in the numerous restaurants in the ex-
position buildings, will be SO extensive
that no one need fear that he will not
be able to get all he needs to eat, and
at reasonable charges.

A California Novelty.

One of California's novel exhibits at
the worlds fair will be panoramic and
allegorical representation of the gey-
sers. The mechanical model will be
thirty-two feet long, twenty-eight feet
wide, and sixteen high. The allegorical
figure is by Rupert Schmid. From the
innermost recesses of the rocks, and
pushing them apart as he ascends from
the internal regions, is a giant The
figure is about two and one-half times
the size of a modern Hercules, and the
sculptor has made him as formidable,
powerful and terrible looking being
as the mind could conjure. He is al
most in a sitting posture, one massive
leg and both arms are pushing the rocks
asunder, while the other leg carries the
weight of his body. His eyes, mouth,
low forehead and tufted beard are
worthy of a demon, and his hair is as
ragged as though he had been disturbed
in his slumbers. To convey an adequate
idea of his colossal proportions, three
life-size figures are to be introduced in
the foreground peering timorously at
the monster from behind powders.
