DELAYING THE APPEAL.
WAITING FOR INTERSTATE COM
MIssIONERS FIGHT.
Railroad Ofhciais and Merchants O.
Southern California Interested in
the Disposition Of the San Ber-
nardino Rate Case.

| San Francisco Examiner: Merchants
in Southern California and the officials
of the Atchison, and Southern Pacific
roads are highly interested in ascertain
ing what action the interstate commerce
commissioners intend taking in the San
Bernardino rate case. The commits
sioners we're to have appealed the case
from the United States district court at
Los Angeles to the court of appeals in
this city. The legal time allowed in
which to perfect the appeal has about
expired, and still there is no indication
of the commissioners placing the record
in propsr shapeon which to make the
appeal.
The preparation Of the record to send
up to the court of appeals will cost, it
is estimated. between $4,000 and $1,000,
and the opinion among the railroad off,
cials is that the commissioners, fearing
that the decision of the lower court
will be sustained, hesitate about incur
ring 30 large an expense. The fact that
the decision was made over year ago,
during which time nothing has been
done, leads the officials OF the two roads
in question to take that view Of the
matter.
The csse in question arose out of
complaint Of San Sernardino merchants
that the railroads were violating the
long and short haul clause of the Inter
state Commerce law in charging a
higher rate from the east to San Ber-
nardino than to Los Angeles. The COM
plant was first made against the Atchi-
son, bat later on the Southern Pacific
was included, and the fight on both
sides was spirited one. The San Ber-
nardino merchants won this case before
the Interstate Commission. The rail-
roads refusing to obey the order OF the
commissioners, the case was taken be-
fore Judge Ross to compel the companies
to obey the order.
On the trial the railroads introduced
testimony to prove that active water
lAcompetition had to- be met at Los An
geles, via the port of San Pedro. They
produced statistics of shipments by
water to Los Angeles. and showed how
the Pacific Coast steamship com pany
was competitor with them for the busi-
ness of that city. Because of this they
insisted that the long and short haul
clause could not control the making of
rates from the east to Los Angeles any
more than it could affect eastern rates
into San Francisco. If there were no
competition by water at Los Angeles,
they admitted that Los Angeles could
not be given lower rates than San Ber-
nardino.
The merchants of the latter town
maintained that water competition at
Los Angeles with the railroads was
small and more theoretical than tangi-
BILE. Judge Rose, however, did not agree
with the merchants. and decided in
favor Of the companies.

Irrigation Information.

Farming land in the United States. in
sections having an average rainfall, are
worth from 500 to $50 an acre. Arid, or
80 called desert lands, without irriga-
tion, are dear at % cents an acre. With
irrigation unimproved desert lands In
Southern California are worth from $50
to $4OO an acre. Water can be placed
on desert lands at cost of from $40 to
$75 an acre. II 25 cent land and $40
water can be added together and be
made to foot up total of $50 an acre
value, what is irrigation worth to the
arid states?
Unirrigated farming lands have no
certainty of producing crop of any
thing depending on rainfall. Irrigated
lands can always he depended on to pro-
duce any crop planted in the fertile
earth. The difference in the value of
these two classes of lands is the differ
ence between certainty and chance.
The International Irrigation congress
clos Angeles, October 1915, 1885, will
discuss the question of irrigation in all
it's phases, and the subject will be
handled by men of wide experience and
national reputation. The government
will be represented in this congress by
a special officer of the interior depart
ment, who will impart such informa-
tion as is in possession of the govern
ment on this important question.
A handsome little book on irrigation
has been issued by the publication COM
mittee OF the congress, which will be
sent, free OF charge, to all applicants
who will send cents to cover postage.
The book is finely printed and freely
illustrated, contains much valuable in
formation, and is an epltome of irriga-
ton knowledge. For copies OF this book,
or any details concerning the congress,
