POLICE SECRETARY COTTLE.

s'There is not a section OF the great
state OF California so completely at the
mercy of the Southern Pacific Railway
company as the San Joaquin and Tu-
lare Valleys" said Secretary Cottle Of
the police department. II have two
brctbers in tho Tulars valley who have
been raising wheat for years. but they
have come to the conclusion at last that
under the present high freight rales,
there is absolutely nothing in the busi-
ness. From Tulare to Port Costa they
are mulcted out OF % cents hundred
for wheat. All the railway company
doeu is to haul 1.-THE grower loads it
and the peraon to whom it Ia consigned
does the unloading.
''The people of the Tulnre valley have
become disgusted and discouraged, and
while know of no remedy, something
must be done il the grain growers of
that section are to prosper. Last year
nearly every farmer in that part of the
country ran behind. In the first place
the cereal crop wss light; and secondly,
the freight rates wore so e1orbitant
that nothing was left the grower. A
competing railroad, wagon traln-any-
thing would better the present cond-
tiOns."

Wholesale grocers-rhe railroad is
against us. We can nos do business be-
yond Bakersfield on an even basis with
San Francisco. Fresno is inclined to
favor Los Angeles, but is powerless. We
can not expect to get very much trade
from that section without a competing
railroad. A competing line is bound to
come. Los Angeles will do all that can
be reasonably asked OF her to help it.
Our business men are enterpriEing and
liberal. and will do what is right and
appears to be good business policy. San
Francisco is so com mpletely corporations
bound that the few blic-epirited citi-
gems she has are powerless to not.
Fresno must look to Los Angeles for
deliverance. | am glad TO see THE

Chief of Poliece Glaes: II think
that sooner or la'er competing road
will tep the great grain valleys OF the

TO great hsrbor that is to be made at
San Pedro and Wilmington; that it
will be shipped to New York and Liver
pool through the Mic rague canal. The
rates will probably not be half ~ much
as tho pTesen, height rates. Another
point: When W get the Salt lake
railroad to this city it will open up the
mines; grain will be sent to Los Auge-

w. A. HENRY.

W. A. Henry, com mission merchant
Los Angeles ought to have increased
trade relations with the San Joaquin
valley. We are already taking large
quantities of the products OF that acc.
ion. For instance, Bakersfield shipped
ue thie eeason at least 1000 tons of hay.
Los Angeles ought to ship Bakersfield O
large quantity OF goods in return. 1t is
true that Los Angeles merchants do
supply Bakersfield and the intermediate
country to large extent, but our trade
should be extended beyond BsEarlfeld
Under existing conditions this can not
be done at profit, but compe ing
line OF railroad would make Il vast
difference. l am not prepared to state
to what extent our people would be-
willing to Resiot in building q new line,
hut they would no doubt meet Fresno
halfway in any feasible and business
like project.

Tho Metainorphoses of q Bust.

English sculptors are not half up to
date, perhaps because our fewer polit-
ical changes have not sharpened their
wits. The Parisians are just now laugh
ing at the vicissitudes of bust of Louis
XIV over the colonnade on the east side
of the Louvre. When Perrault erected
the colonnade, the bust was an exact
likeness Of the "Roi Soleil," but under
the first empire the official sculptor
ohipped off the flowing wig and pared
the nose down to the Napoleonic pro-
portions. When the Bourbons came
back, the wig was replaced and the
necessary hump put on the nose, but
both were removed during the hundred
days. But after Waterloo the peruke
and the aquiline nose were restored, and
the troubled bust had rest, though now

subsequently moved the bedstead told
me that it weighed nine tons, but
think he exaggerated. Moreover, it was
certainly as massive piece Of furniture
as ever l saw. On this account perhaps
the generous donor had been unable to
sell it and had had it numbering up his
salesroom until he had grown sick of
the sight Of it.
The bridegroom gave directions for
its removal to the Harlem fiat. He then
thanked his wife's uncle for this mag
nifcent gift with tears in his eyes.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes returned
from their wedding journey, they found
