MAN EATERS OF THE PACIFIC.
Sharks That Are tho Dread Of tho Cal
fornia Fishermen.

Sharks That Are tho Dread Of the Gals.
fornia Fishermen.
The true man eater shark as taken
on the Pacific coast is known only as
man eater. The shovel nosed shark are
sand sharks, too cowardly to attack
even yellow dog. The "a foot shark
captured by some fishermen Of the true
man eater variety (Carcharodon carcha-
rias) seemed brave enough and savage
enough to attack anything within its
reach. This monsters mouth was wide,
the teeth long and sharp, with an in
ward incline. The stomach would hold
full grown man easily and q good
deal besides. The fish became entangled
in a net off Point Lama. Two boats at
tackled the vicious creature and finally
succeeded in punching an iron into its
vitals The side of one boat was STAYED
in by blow forcible enough to knock
one fisherman overheard
These sharks have been known to at
tack small boat, upset it and eat the
oarsman. A man eater over AZ feet long
has been reported below San Diego.
The natives are said to live in fear Of
this awful fish, which already has the
record of having eaten six men. It has
been shot frequently. The water about
it has been discolored with blood. Yet
the shark still lives. The tiger shark is
as ferocious as the man eater. Another
large shark hereabouts is the basking
shark. It is taken measuring ID to 40
feet in length. The skin Of one 80 feet
long is at Stanford University museum.
This skin alone weighs over 1900
pounds, while the sharks liver produc-
ed 1870 gallons Of oil These sharks,
however. are sluggish, lazy and do not
bite people Their gill rakers are on the
whale model. When entapgled in net,
they frequently suffocate, as the net re.
stricts the gills.
California fishermen do not consider
five foot sharks of much account when
from San Diego wharves black sea bass
are caught six to eight feet long weigh
ing 300 to 500 pounds. Such fish are
common. They are taken on shark
hooks and clotheslines When hooked,
the fish Is allowed to swim about the
bay towing a two inch plank. When
he is exhausted, the line is hauled in,
and the fish killed with an ax.--New

What This Means.

Any one who should take the amount
of freight now transferred over each OF
these lines and estimate the saving to
the people in freight by the rate Of 1898
as compared with that in 1883 would be
amazed at the figures. The ton mileage
or number of tons moved one mile in
Minnesota in 1898 was Q, 424, 018, 162. A
difference of but one mill in the charge
on this amount would be nearly g..
500,0
Specific Reductions.
Detailed statements from different
roads exhibit in q still more direct way
the reduction Of charges on special oom-
modities. The wheat rate to Minneap-
oils from Crookston In 1880 was ~
cents; in 1894, l611SS cents.
From Morris, the reduction In these
years is from 20 cents to 10 cents.
The lumber rate from st. Paul to
Fergus Falls was IL cents in 1880, and
151a in 1898.
To Benson the reduction was from
10 cents to 1871 cents.
From Duluth to st. Vincent the coal
rate per ton in 1880 was So, in 1893 it
was 81.
A similar reduction in other commod-
tiles has taken place throughout this
territory. On the Hastings and Dakota
road the tariff rate on wheat in 1880
ranged from 10 cents for q distance Of
25 miles, to 20 cents for 100 miles. In
1890 these rates were respectively, 6
cents and IS cents.
On the Northern Pacific the livestock
rate per 100 pounds in 1880 ranged from
~ cents for IS miles, to 321a cents for
$50 miles. The corresponding rates in
1890 were ~ cents and 10 cents.
Great Saving to the Producer.
Any amount Of comparison Of this
sort might be made to show how great
progress has been made within the last
decade in conforming charges for public
service to the ability Of the producer to
pay, in cheapening to him the cost Of
transportation and in assuring him a
substantial measure Of justice in the
marketing Of his products. In the
matter Of railroad rates, as in that
of grain inspection and grading,
there still remains much to be done.
Some very important additional re-
auctions have been made recently
in coal and grain rates and are now
under consideration by the courts; but
the whole course Of legislation in this
state and Of official action under it goes
to prove that the interests Of the farmer
are safest and are best conserved when
the power that makes the laws and the
power that executes them is lodged In
the hands Of the Republican party.

rates. The latter was acoeded 70 By the
railroad companies, but the former was
carried to the United States supreme
court and the decision Of the state
supreme court was there reversed. In
the year 1888, again at the instance Of
the commission, grain rates from the
Red River valley were reduced about 10
per cent. The control by the same body
Of man Of the matter Of freight
rates and all elevator inspec-
ton and charges has been very
advantageous. A free market has been
secured and the railroads have become
more liberal every year in encouraging
and facilitating direct shipment by the
farmers. In 1894 handling, insurance
and storage charges ON grain were re-
duced to 3 cents for the first 10 days.
u cent per bushel for each 10 days
thereafter of the first three months,
and a cent for each 80 days after that
time. * !
Advantage Of Voluntary Action. 81
1t is fortunate that these very matters,
ial reductions have been made IN many
instances a. the result Of conference
and persuasion, rather than As conse-
quenoe of the arbitrary power, by au-
thority complied with only under pro.
test. It has been found possible In that,
way to secure to shippers Of Minnesota
most advantageous rates and. in many
cases, better terms have been granted
voluntarily by the railroad than could
have been forced out Of than by ap.
peals to the courts. The amount OF
saving to the people Of the state by pro-
gressive reduction Of freight rates in
the last 10 years may be estimated from
q study Of the following table. The
figures given are the average receipts
on freight per ton per mile by the re-
