LINCOLN, Feb. 1O.-Friday L. f. Hill
ton, late chief state oil inspector, filed
with the governor and the state auditor
his report Of fees collected and expenses
paid during his term of office from April
l, 1898, to Feb. /, 1895. Hilton shows
by his report that he has received i'll in
spection fees during his term Of office
for inspecting Illuminating oil, $751;
GIT 80 in fees, and for marking gasoline
packages which We're below the test for
Illuminating purposes, $40, 1880 The
salaries and expenses paid during the
same time amount to $21, 1884, 6.
Besides this, Hilton reports that he
paid into the state treasury $4,000. Up
to the time he filed his report it has
been understood that Hilton owed the
state nearly s., 900. His report shows
that the state is still indebted to him for
more than 81 1000. On the pretext that
the oil companies may some time hold
him personally reliable for the amount
he has collected for the inspection Of
gasoline, he holds out from the state the
sum Of s., 5S2, and reports to the aud
itor that there is a deficiency of 81, 16S.
These fees have been regularly col
lected by his predecessors and accounted
for by them. Governor Holcomb said
that he had not determined what action
the report would call for on the part of
the state, as he had not consulted the at
torney general on the subject. He said
he thought it a little remarkable that
the question Of the legality of the col
lection of the fees on the gasoline should
come, not from the oil dealers who have
paid for it, but from a state oil inspector
who had collected it. 1t is believed the
question at issue can only be settled by
the courts and proceedings on Hilton's
official bond.

would be best settled when the convsn-
ton assembled, but he did not expect
ANYTHING from San Francisco anyway.
Mr.. Woodward's motion was then
put and prevailed by a small maj ,rity.
Many of those who voted against the
motion explained that their sympathiea
lay distinctly with Los Angeles, but
that San Francisco should be given
an opportunity to show what she would
do.
On seeing the small majority By which
bis motion was carried, Mr. Woodward
had it reconsidered. and substitute
motion was made by I. @. White that
the meeting be called for the purpose of
discussing a proposition to build rail-
road either to Los Angeles or San Fran.
cisco.
This brought out an allusion to the
Monterey-Frssno railroad, and Mr..
Woodward frankly stated that he did
believe the Monterey road would be
built. He wished he was as sure OF
blilding to San Francisco.
Mr.. Whites motion was carried
unanimously and then 0. j. Woodward
moved that it is the sense OF this meet
ing that the representatives OF this
county in the Legislature be instructed
TO vOte Tor rep0al VI tuo etatuto ior Diu
ding counties to bond themselves for
railroad purposes, in order that this
county might be bonded to supply aid
to a competing railroad.
Fulton q. Berry seconded the motion,
which was carried unanimously.
The proposition to amend the coneti-
tuition OF the state 80 as to bond the
county is of Importance, because it is
generally recognized that this bonding
of the valley counties to furnish aid to
a competing road ia the easiest and
quickest solution of the problem.
Chairman Letcher of the board OF SUPER
visors has repeatedly declared in favor
of it and has shown that the transporta-
tion charges paid to the Southern Pa
fic railroad by Fresno county alone
within a single year would suffice to
build railroad from one end OF the
county to the other. II each county will
build it's own section of the road to it's
northern and southern limits, the ques-
ton of com petitive transportation would
be settled, because such road could
not fall into the hands Of any monopoly

There is no issue now before the

California that ia 30 pregnant with pos
sible results as that OF the valley rail-
road project so ably advocated by The
HERALD" said F. B. Mallory, proprietor
of the Hotel Ramona, yesterday.
There can be no question but what
the Fresno connection by q competing
railroad would be of immense import
ance to the com mercial interests OF this
city and ali the southern counties. With
such connection Los Angeles would
easily lead as the commercial center OF
the Pacific coast in few yesrs.
'And we could be OF immense benefit
to the merchants OF Fresno as we'll.
With harbor at San Pedro. with two
overland lines already established and
the Salt Lake road almost an accom-.
plished fact, and with a community OF
enterprisng, wideawake business men,
we have that to offer Fresno that che

that make us peculiarly adapted for q

for us to keep up the agitation and do

that the chamber OF commerce has

that with the assistance OF that body
the thing can he and will be acco m.

''Of course there can be no queati6n
as to the desirability OF uniting Los n
geles and Fresno by q competing rail
road. The only question is as to tn G
practicability of the plan" said III. f.
Norcross, who is the manager Of the
| Hotel del Coronado's Office in Los An

"And on this score, after careful
thought, l think the general opinion
will be that the desired line can be

Keen Local Interest in tho Movement
for a Competing Railroad Into
the Central Counties.

Los Angeles bueinoss men have proven
themselves unaelfish and enterprising in
this matter of the agitation for closer
com mercial relations with the people of
the central counties. They are persis.
tent and untiring in their efforts to-
ward q realization OF a project that
they have the farsightedness to see
means dollars and cents to them di.
rectly and indirectly.
1t is at this point that the business
men OF Los Angeles and San Francisco
differ most. The latter are quick to
grasp for the immediate coin; the
former keep one eye ever on the future,
while not neglecting the duty of the
hour. This is not a mere empirical
deduction, There are facts to prove
the statement, and none OF the proof is
more emphatic or more to the point
than the interviews with local business
men end citizens and contributions from
them that have been published in these
columns since THE HERALD began the
agitation.
More of these still continue to find
their way to the office than there is
space to publish at one time, but in due
order TIE HERALD means to give pub
licty to them all. They 20 to prove
that the interest in this all.absorbng
movement does not flag, and their re-
ceipt is gratifying to The HERALD and
ought to be equally pleasing to all
Southern California.
And not only is the valley railroad
project still living issue in which the
keenest personal interest is felt by all
good citizens, but the Salt Lake rail
road project and the Nicaraguan canal
are of equal prominence in the public
mind. And this is true not alone of Los
Angeles, but OF all Southern California
4 San Diego is to be especially com
mended for the great interest she has
and is taking in the Nicaraguan canal
and while she is agtating this project
with all her might, she has not lost
sight OF the valley road movement.
The same is true in all the southern
counties, and belief exists that Los
Angeles motto "L can" will be SURE
winner in the long run. In this oon
nection the words of Editor Selkirk, o
the San Bernardino Sun, are peculiarly
to the point. He says:
