Northern Shipping Notes.

you have announced that Goodall,
Perkins & Co. are going to put a steamer
OH the Mendocno route, but you havn't
told the reason" said an oId-time coasting
skipper to CALL reporter yesterday"
well, what is the reason?" was in
quired.
1T is to drive Johnnie Kimball off the
southern route. Goodall, Perkins & Co.
are the best people in town to attend to
their own business and let others do the
same, but they will not allow themselves
to be imposed upon. / don't think they
cared much wien Kimball put the
steamer Protection on the southern run
but when he broke 1own their fence at
Monterey and invaded their private
property they got 'riled.' They recog.
nZed his right to the Pacific Ocean. but
not to their particular wharf.
You remember that they have an
nounced to cut passeDge" and freight
rates. They don't do that for fun. The
fact is there isn't enough business fol
another steamship line from here to the
Mendicino coast and one side or the other
must surrender, and | don't believe the
firm of which CALIFORNIA; junior Senator
is amember will be the first to retreat"
