OF the state railroad commission George \.
Ficks. OF Sacramento. presented q petition
which he said came from 1000 representa-
tives OF labor in Sacramento. The petition
protested against a reduction OF railroad
freight rates. saying il would result in a
reduction Of their wages. which would be
followed by a general reduction OF wages
throughout the state. When asked II the
petitioners were not Southern Pacific en-
ployes. Ficks said the petitioners repre-
scented all classes OF skilled labor.
\ communication was read from Attor-
ney General Fitzgerald. replying 10 an in
quiry bearing on the law regarding dis
elimination by railroads in favor OF long
haUls over short hauls. Fitzgerald said
Determinations by the railroads are forbid
den by section Il of article u OF the con-
sttution. and that such Determinations
were in plain violation of law.
DR.. Stanton. who opposed the resolution
of Chairman Larue for a reduction Of
grain rates. introduced resolution for an
immediate reduction in wheat rates OF s
per cent. and a reduction on other cou-
modities. making a total OF > per cent.
This includes the reductions made by the

olut.on will be considered at the session OF

principally on the approval by Gov. Nc

into between the state and w. r. rays

by upland owners against the improve

reference to this enterprise;

not considered sufficient TO prevent the
state from entering into the contract as
was decided by Commissioner Forrest
The work TO be accomplished contemplates
the expenditure including bulkheading OF
approximately s., 100000
THE governors approval of the con-
tract is all that is necessary as prelimin-
airy 10 the work There are great many
individual upland owners who have also
preference right of purchase from the
state, and who have expressed personal
desires 10 have the work go on. OF course.
these lands all belong TO the state at
present, and are subject to this applica-
ton for contract. 1t would be strange
with all OF the varied interests of upland
owners. if there should be united desire
for this work to go on, and yet ii would
seem to me there ought not to be a single
one opposed TO il, inasmuch as ii is APP
parent that unless this contract now APP
piled for is approved by the governor
those tide lands will remain submerged by
the tide twice a day during at least the
present generation, for should the con-
tract be denied and the upland owners
acquire title from the state there never
could be a unity of sentiment agreeable

who desired to iii in his own particular
lands, would have 10 obtain the consent
OF all or bulkhead around his neighbor.
IL would thus entail too great an expense
on specific piece of property TO justify
the required expenditure"

That is what the new addition TO the store

enviable position OF being the largest es-
Enlistment in its line on the Pacific coast.
Starting. as il did. in a season of general

fine example of the reward of business
energy.

business investment. but they were so
strongly convinced of the great future Of
the city as to fit up a store in the Rialto
block in June, 1874. The development of
their patronage since that time has been
marvellous. and a good proof of 1t is seen
in the fact that they have just added to
their store a new salesroom. measuring
35x1l0 feet. giving the entire store a front
age Of 10 feet on Second street, and
depth Of 10 feet. Reckoning all the floors.
the space is $1,000 square feet, or just
about an acre.
The new part of the establishment has
been fitted out on q scale that places II

and all the furnishings are of modern and
handsome design. The room has been set
apart entirely for ladies' cloaks and suits.

The seattle Car Famine.

-IlcsISsETTI ' dIF1
The shingle shippers OF Seattle are sure
" entitled TO recognition by the Northern
Pacific railroad. for they not only failed
to indorse the alleged boycott by other Sc
attic shippers. but have always stood by
the road and given ii good share of their
business. They are now complaining be-
cause the Northern Pacific is not furnish
ing them with cars enough for their East
ern business. The railroad officials, how
ever. state that ample rolling stock is be-
ing forwarded to Seattle as needed, and
that several hundred cars are now on the
way. Ii may be that Seattle shingle ship
pers are "hollering" not because they are
hurt, but for fear they may be in the near
future.

And, of course, that is a great attraction

"Wellr' exclaimed the friend '"That is a
new idea to me. I'm afraid 1T is a rather
selfish motive, but I'm going straight home
to stir my mother up to the performance

Star writer among the Massachusetts,
hills last summer kept her family
of three girls, aged respectively five,
seven and ten, in frocks of indigo blue
pin-do.ted percaie. band of narrow
close embroidery finished throat and wrists
of each dress, which were all made on the
same simple yoke and plain full sleeve de-
sign. An ample supply Of these frocks was
were worn. They splendidly survived all
sorts of hill climbing, berry picking, pic
nicking. and long mornings by the brook
side. At the village church On Sundays,
light challies, still simply made, were worn
Icy the trio, and when the family started
home ia the autumn, handsome blazer
suits of blue serge with waists of red China
silk, striped with black, were their travelling
outfit. More than one mother who watched
these little girls, neat always, no matter
what the days vicissitudes were, took men
tai notes for future use.
With the addition of a white, dotted mus
lin, perhaps. for an incidental gala occa-
sion, the wardrobe enumerated is sufficient
for any summer outing, and would be found
we'll as considerable censerrer to the
children's comfort. For seaside and noun
tain wear 1t would not be possible to de-
pend on cotton dresses. The present fash
ion Of shirt waists, however, solves the
outfit problem in such cases. For the dark
blue pcrcale, substitute blue flannel and
serge, two grades of weight and quality,
with blouse waists or Jackets of the ma
terial for chilly mornings. and percale aid
silk shirt waists for warmer hours.
