THEIR POINT OF VIEW

1t may not be consoling to the Southern
Pacific Company that it should justly
| bear the blame for the slumber that has
bound our activities. or that realization
| OF its broken strength may account in a
large part for the vigorous reaction that has
set in. 1t may. if that will make its under
standing broader, ascribe this awakening
to its own decline. and then proceed
wisely to utilize its great forcts in securing
cooperation where it has hitherto en-
couraged antagonism, and in helping
where it has hindered. Re-
porter.
1t is to be regretted that credit is so
easily obtained in this state. 1t would
be better for merchant and consumer if
cash in every instance was demanded.
Cash payments make men energetic,
makes buyers independent and self-re-
liant. Cash buys goods low, while at
credit they have an enhanced value. 1t
would be better for every person if labor
and goods could be paid in for cash
each day.-Grass Valley Telegraph.

road means undoubtedly willingness to
open the purse strings tor otner purposes
equally commendable and useful. The
country banks all along have shown
faith in their local enterprises that re-
fleets generously on their intelligence and
public spirit, tnat should have served as
an example and an inspiration to San
Francisco. o.-Woodland Reporter.

that the capitalists and the business men

that will be done by them, is likely to
have any other object but this.-San Jose

Why do not Californians mine their ore,
bring it to San Francisco and make
things with it? Because the Southern
Pacitic's rates for transportation of ore
and of coal are too high to permit of such
a thing. San Francisco Report.
The Valley road directors have contract
ed for rails, angle plates, spikes, bolts
and nuts. and the man who doesn think
