THE COMBAT DEEPENS.

The cartoon in Sundays CALL repre-
senting Mr.. Huntington as butting his
head against a stone wall illustrates the
present railroad situation in Oakland. To
prevent passengers on the opposition from
making use of the Southern Pacific trains
IL was arranged 10 rush the local Southern
Pacific trains through the city al a high
rate of speed. Oakland apparently does
not propose to permit steamcars to make
such use OF a road that crosses numb
of Oakland streets ON a level. No one was
killed Saturday, but it was apparently a
matter of chance that there was not. The
Southern Pacific managers must have
counted on City Council that it had
elected primarily to do its own work and
secondarily to pass ordinances to govern
Oakland. They could not expect that
such Council as was elected last spring
would permit train to 60 laundering
through the streets at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. even to accommodate the
Southern Pacific Company. Oakland will
now see the advantage of having law
making body that owes allegiance to the
people of Oakland ra Their than to the
Southern Pacific Company. Their work
las. spring now gives them the key to the
situation. Ordinances that will regulate
the speed of all trains passing through the
city are quite within the range of powers
granted to the City Council. Some other
way must be found to crush out competi-
tion TO the Southern Pacific.

SOMETHING MEAN.

The Kern Californian thinks tie South
ern Pacific Company has done a great
thing for fruit-gr0wers by reducing freight
rates on raisins. prunes and dried fruits to
81 per 100 pounds. The reduction is
about 80 per cent on the old rates. The
Californian adds:
OF course somebody will get In and say some.
thing mean about 1t. but all the same those who
talk about the railroad sitting The infant indus.
tries of the State will have TO select some other
line Of attack.
The Kern County Echo had it's mean
something all ready and delivered it in tn 9
following style:
Let the truth be known. AT a recent meet
of rasin-growers for the purpose OF consider
ing freichts they were met by representative
OF the North American Navigation Company,
who told them that his company would take
their raisins and dried fruits from San Fran.
cisco to New York by way OF the isthmus for
80 cents per 100 pounds. As 1t cost thing
like 90 C nts to get the fruit and raisins to San
Francisco, The railroad could me the rate
offered by way OF the isthmus by carrying
these products to New York for 81. 1t was a
clear case of cut the rate or lose the business.
If there is any reduction in freight rates
in any part Of this State 1t may be traced
directly or indirectly to the competition
which is springing up in various parts Of
the State. OF its OWE vOlition the South
ern Pacific makes no reductions.
