NorE.-L. O. l.. signifies less than carloads;
G. L., carloads.
These rates, it is thought, will shut
out all attempts OF Portland and other
northern cities to invade the territory of
the California merchants.
AIMING AT UNIFORM RATES.
@. F. Crocker, fret ice-president of
the Southern Pacific, said that the prin-
cipal object OF formulating the new local
freight tariff, in addition to the desire to
furnish the service at lower rates, which.
he said, is the company's wish, Ia to
make the charges for carrying freights
uniform all over the company's lines on
the Pacific coast.
"The company desires that there shall
be no difference in the rates ss between
San Francisco and Salinas, for instance,
and between San Francisco and Merced
and other San joaquin valley points
This object has been attained to great
degree, think, and the new tariff will
result in general equalization OF freight
rates throughout the state. This 10 our
intention, at least.
"As to the result OF these changes
from q commercial point OF view we
hope that it will increase the trade of
San Francisco and augment the busi-
ness of the Wholesale merchants here.
We expect it to add to the importance of
San Francisco as a distributing center.
al am free 10 say that 1 believe it re-
moves from the record all reasons for
obiecting to our tarifs--freight and pas
aenger. Our local passenger rate of 3
cents a mile 10 already low enough.
A THREE.CRNT PASSENGER RATE.
"In many other states where the
population ia much greater the rail-
roads charge 5 cents a mile, and even on
the New York Central, which traverses
the most densely populated portion of
the whole country, the charge is cents
q mile. This is on a road that runs
more trains in q day than we do in a
month, and the relative expense of that
company per passenger 10 much less
than the expense OF any road on this
coast.
Il "It is my opinion that there is NO rsa-
son, based on our freight and passenger
rates, why the population and prosper
'ity OF that part Of the state reached by
our lines should not increase rapidly.
Certainly there iB no disbursement be-
Cause Of our rates. River competition
In the past has forced freight istss to
Marysville, Colusa and other Eacra-
mento river points to low figure. II 10
proposed to extend theae rates to other
parts Of the state. even whore there are
no river rates possible. do not say
that this has bean accomplished COM
plstely In every respect, but 1t has been
carried out to = great degree"
