Remedy for High Rates.

The Traffic Association OF San Francisco
and the North American Steamship Com
paDy, by opening up the isihnus route and
releasing the sailing vessel business from
the grasp of the railroad company, have
won back to some extent the advantages
which San Francisco has in its harbor
Another San Francisco company is moving
in the matter Of coast steamers to compete
with the Goodall-Neison southern line. The
next business, If the State is to prosper, is
10 bring down inland freights and fares
from the eXorbitant scale on which they
are now based. The river navigation must
be improved; it is too valuable an advan-
tage 10 the farms and towns on the banks
OF our two great rivers to be neglected.
In the other counties electric rail-
roads will answer the purpose almost
equally well. Electric railroads can carry
passengers or freight in our level valleys Mt
half the rates which steam roads must
charge, because they cost little to build
have TO haul less dead weight - engine,
tender. coal and WateT-and in many places
the power can be generated at CONVENE
waterfalls and conveyed to the line by wire.
In other parts of the country the electricity
must be generated by steam power all or
part of the year.
Electric roads can run on an average at a
prot1t while charging much less than one
nall what the steam roads now charge, and
can make money when the latter are not
making over running expenses. The rem
edy for all the ills this State Is suffering
from at tile hands of the railroad company
is within reach of the people. A single
effort made in one section only is liable to be
crushed by the older road. but the Southern
Pacific Company Is not wealthy enough 10
make ruinOu5 fight to crush rivals in a
d zen counties at one time.

Stockton to Bakersfield.


If the business men of San Francisco are
in earnest and intend TO Cooperate with
the people OF the San Joaquin Valley In the
building Of a railroad from Stock ION to Ba-
kersfeld, isala should see To it that the
road goes through this city. Such a road
would give us relief from the eXorb itant 10
cal rates now charged by the Southern Pa
cfc and with the line Of steamers running
out OF san francisco we should have a COM
peling line to the East.
lis remarkable that the shopkeepers in
San Francisco have never realized the i'm
portance OF becoming merchants. This val
ley alone, II properly developed, would
make San Francisco one of the largest
cities in the United States. 1t is the
grauaTy OF the Pacific Coast and in
a short time viii produce fruit enough to
supply the needs OF half the people in
America. The cattle business thrives. and
all that is needed to make San Francisco he
shipping point for all these products is
cheap and competitive communication. The
first and most important thing to do is TO
build the proposed road FROM Stockton TO
Bakersfield.
II san Francisco desires to reap the full
benefit OF uade with this valley it will not
do to stop when competing railroad is
built from Stockton to Bakersfield. The
opening Of n waterway from Buena Vista
Lake in Kern County through Iulare Lake
and on to the San joaquin River is neces-
sary, and will be an accomplished fact Just
as soon rs the mOneyed and Influential II en-
Of San Francisco wake UP to q realization of
the enormous benefits that would result
from such an enterprise. The Chamber of
Commerce and the leading newspapers of
San Francisco could easily secure an appro-
priaton from Congress for this work, and
they ought 10 do it, In the meantime give
US a road from Stockton to Bakersfield, and
it would not be long until the waterway
mentioned would follow.

IHE CHAIRMAN OUsTED.-Tbe was a
big surprise at tho meeting of the City

Competition Needed.


Railroad competition is recognized to be
the one thing necessary 20 insure the pros
perity OF the farmers OF the San joaquin
Valley. A competing line that would enter
a fTeght-rate combine would be of no
advantage 1t is certain that road could
reduce freightS and fares 80 per cent below
those of the Southern Pacific and make
money. But perhaps to keep rates ut a
reasonable figure ii would be necessary for
the counties or the people of this valley to
build. perpetuaiiy own and operate the road.
This would be the preferable plan, for the
excessive freights and fares are a greater
burden upon the people than the taxation
that would be necessary to build aud equip
the road, and affects every person in the
community.
If the road were built by the issue Of
county bonds or by money raised bv taxa
ton for The purpose the people of this val
ley would save $50 in freight and fares for
every dollar of taxes they would pay for
building and equippinE the road. The
highest import duties and the highest State,
county, municipal and district taxes com
sive freights paid for transporting produce
with the amounts paid for transportation
In excess Of the sum sufficient TO return the
railroad company a good profit. Every
article we sell and every article we use
yield an eXOrbitant revenue TO the railroad.
The people have 1t in their power to 10 their
own hauling at cost. or at a trifie above cost.
ana save annually hundreds of thousands OF
dollars of their own hard-earned money.
This matter is worthy of consideration by
the people of San joaquin, Stanislaus, Mer-
ced, Fresno, Tulare ana Kern counties.

At no time in the history of New York City have

says that this Increase due to the influence of
grip. He says that grip may be called epidemic
just now, ana that the ma jorty cases grip is
vital contributing cause to pneumonia and all dan
geraus pulmonary troubles. At this time OF the
year, when we are changing over from winter to
spring. there is always low order OF vitality;
action from the strains of the season. he blood
does not flow fun rapidly; the strength is
less For this reason grip has much better chance
than at any other season.
This is Time OF year when people need to be care
ful, and too much Importance cannot be placed
upon keeping the blood warm and in circulation.
You must bring about a ctioa il you wish to
avoid the pain and dangers OF these troubles in time

The Day Breaks.


It is most sincerely hoped the awakening
in the bay city. possesses the clements of
sincerity AID permanency. The people of
the interior will not stand aIoof If San
Francisco means business. The success of
the North American Transportation Com
pany on the sea, in which California re-
j0ices, can be duplicated on the land If The
same determination not to be bluffed be
manifested; and the result already attained
should encourage the people of San Fran
cisco and the agricultural count ties TO COM
bine and carry the war into the enemy's
country. II the committee to be sent to
this valley, as suggested, comes TO talk
words it viii only increase that tired
feeling that now prevails. II il comes to
talk business it will receive ready assur-
ance of cooperation. 1t is proper that San
Francisco should take the initiative at this
time. The interior will res pond heartily to
any reasonable proposition that promises to
place both in communication without hav-
ing to pay "all the traffic will bear" for the
privilege. There should be something mu-
tual in the relations between the original
producers in the country and the business
men OF our principal seaport and cOmmeT-
cial center. San Francisco alone has pre-
vented them from being so hitherto.
The Traffic Association may rest assured
that if the city merchants will do their part
the proposed road will be built.

The Fresno Canal Project.


The people Of Fresno are agitating for the
that city in order 10 secure lower freight
rates. The enterprise will richly repay the
people along the line of the canal, and in
cidentaliy all the residents along the San
joaquin River The Erie canal keeps
freights down in The State of New York,
and the Hin DIS and Michigan canal and the
Illinois River keep them down in the prairie
State. Railroad freights in those States are
now so low that the canals are onlyused for
the transportation Of those heavy articles
that do not need TO be rapidly transported
and on which railroad rates are necessarily
very high. In the early history of railroads
that run parallel to those canals the reduc-
ton in freight rates could be more plainly
perceived than now. Just as soon as
navigation closed on the canals railroad
rates went up every fall and 1t cost 81 per 100
pounds for irst-class freightS from New
York TO Chicago, while in summer, when
the rivers, the canals and the lakes were
open, the rate was only half as high. The
difference in transporting grain in Califor-
MIA is much greater. and as such a canal and
the San Joaquin River could be navgated
all the year round, the advantage Of such
competition would be far greater in Califor-
MIA than in the East. The proposed rail-
road to Bakersfield, if it is ever built, will be
of incalculable Dene 6t TO the country it
traverses, but that is larger undertaking
and the canal can be constructed in much
less time and be OF fully as great benefit, In
proportion, TO the vicinity OF Fresno. whose
people should continue 10 agltate for it until
il is realized.

RISING IN REVOLT.
The interior Against the
Railroad.
EXTRACTS FROM THE PRESS.
Competition in the San Joaquin
Eagerly Looked Forward To.
Promises of Aid.

While an intermittent warfare against the
exactions of the Southern Pacific Of Ken
lucky has been waged for many years by the
suffering communities of the interior, this
struggle has of late taken on the dignity of
an organized revolt. There is no need to
look far a1e.d for the cause. When the
success of the North American Navigation
Company made it apparent that the South
ern Pacific was not impregnabe against
united community, the farmers of the San
Joaquin and of other sections. who had
been laid under contributions by the cor
porate marauders Of Fourth and Townsend,
took heart and renewed the struggle for
their own emancipation. The utlerance of
the press is Indicative OF the spirit and
sentiment of the community which supports
it, What the spirit and sentiment of the
interior are in regard to the railraad ques-
ton may be judged from the appended
