RATES ON MACADAM.
The Southern Pacific Issues Its Tariff
for Carrying Rock From Folsom
Ouarries.

The Southern Pacific Company has
finally decided on its special tariff on
crushed rock for macadamizing roads, and
it will take effect on August 1.
The rates are made from Folsom Prison
quarries to various points along the rail-
ways in California in accordance with a
request from the State Bureau of High
ways, and were recently adopted by that
body. There are three main rules to be
observed. Cars must be loaded to the
marked capacity, and in no case will the
charge be less than S. a carload. Side
and end boards for cars must be furnished
by shippers, and will be returned free at
the owners risk and the company's con-
venience. No mileage shall be asked on
private equipment engaged in handling
crushed rock, so the States special
macadam cars will pass free over Southern
Pacific lines in California, between Folsom
and places where roads are being either
constructed or improved.
Rates are given in cents for each ton OF
1000 pounds, and to some of the principal
points are as follows: Sacramento 25
cents, Auburn As, Colfax go, Dutch Flat 20,
Marysville 55, Oroville IS, Willows IS,
Dixon 35, Vacaville 45 Winters so, Suisun
45, Vallejo 60, st. Helena 70, Calistoga 85,
Santa Rosa IS, Benicia go, West Berkeley
rs, Oakland and vicinity 80, San Francisco
IS, Stockton 45. Modesto Is cents.

chronicle of all the eventful dates of the
castles history are illuminated upon the
pillars; and from these we CLEAN how full
of history has been this mountain strong
hold since 1861. For year Q744-45) the
French held it. How terribly that holding
has been repaid!
The other rooms of the castle are small,
but pretty, and are fitted up as dwelling
rooms 70 be used when emperors or kings
or princes dwell for while or STAY night
in this sky-lifted fortress, whence in
old days its owners swept down and gath
cred unto themselves booty and power,
until the whole fat land of Prussia lay
beneath their rule. In 1876 note occurs
that in the armory were 800 suits of mail !;
now there are 100000 armed men who
move at the Hohenzollerns' bidding.
And as we descended from the famous
burg and passed some of these four million
in Dickelhaube and with the Manlicher
rifle under their arms, we halted as we got
beneath the castle towers and looked up at
the singular beauty of its brown walls and
embellishments, glowing in the after noon
sun above the pure, crystallized, snow-clad
trees and standing out proudly against the
soft blue sky; and we thought of all the
history that this cragged height had in
fuenced by its indwellers.

ANOTHER SMUGGLING RING
Silks, Satins and Curios Are
Sent to Mexican Towns
in Transit.
Thus Fifty Per Cent Duty Is
Avoided.

Never q steamer arrives in San Francisco
from the Orient without at least six or
eight consignments of Chinese goods in
transit for Mexico. This merchandise is
supposed to be for merchants in the Cen.
tral American republic, and the Mexican
men and women are supposed to be the
people for whom the silks, satins and
curios, of which the consignments are in
variably made up, are intended,
The goods are never sold in Mexico,
however, but are shipped back into the
United States by the underground rail
road" and Uncle Sam is a loser to the
tune of SO per cent duty on each consign-
ment. When the goods reach San Fran
cisco they are sent under seal to either
Laredo, Ell Paso or Eagle Pass, over the
Southern Pacific Railroad. After being
examined at these points by a United
States custom house officer they are
shipped across the border. The cases do
not go verv far and few days see them
back in the United States and in few
more they are on the market in New York,
New Orleans or San Francisco.
Among the big dealers in Chinese and
Japanese silks, satins and curios are w.
G. Waltz e. Co. of Ell Paso, Tex. They
have an agent in this City who attends to
the transhipping of all their wares. Nine
or ten of their cases were sent to the Ap-
praisers' store by mistake short time ago,
and when opened some of the most ex-
pensive kind of bric-a-brac was found.
Collector Wise is not at all satisfied with
the existing state of affairs. and he is GO
ing to try and have the "free zone' ex-
tended. Goods in transit have to go a GER
tain distance into Mexico before Uncle Sam
relinquishes his claim for duty. but once
past a certain point they are free. Paso
del Norte is the principal distributing
point, and close watch is now being kept
on it.
1t is estimated that goods, which would
swell the revenue to the extent of $1,000
every time a steamer arrives from China
are shipped to Mexico in transit, and then
smuggled back into the United States.

The two castles of Hohenzollern and Sig
maringen are indissolubly bound together
by the history of the mighty race VINO
for centuries have held sway and who now
from Prussia's throne hold the balance OF
power in Europe. The castle of Sigma
ringen is the more interesting OF
the two, says James Baker in the Pail
Mall Gazette, but as the Stammschloss
or cradle of the Zollerns, Hohenzollern Is
of the earliest interest; and the way to 1t
by rail, as by road, lies along the charming
" picturesque banks of the romantic
Danube. A good plan on arriving at Sig
maringen is to run away from it by rail
and visit the Hohenzollern Hechingen
fortress first, ere dwelling upon the far
more picturesque castle of Sigmaringen.
As we scratched away the ice from the
carriage windows and looked out over the
frozen landscape we could see how the
line twisted and stretched along the tinv
winding Danube; and even as we issued
from Sigmaringen we had a most lovely
peep of its castle, standing proudly upon
its rocky bluff. with its spires and domes
and pinnacles dark against the snow
decked hills around.
The scenery reminded one of the rock
palisades on the Elbe or the peaked isolated
pillars on the Meuse; as we assembled the
river the rocks and hills were on a grander
scale than those bordering this latter river.
though the river itself was smaller
Strange isolated towers and spires of
rock started up by the frozen
rivers banks; great hills lowered up
rounded or precipitous, with here and
there a robber' 's-nest castle perched on
some dominating crag. Little towns
fitted past with red roofs and Churches
with deep red domes, and at
Laufen the Elbe was again brought
to mind by the great high, iso-
lated, bill-looking fortress, like unto
konigstein. Orchards and gardens and
gardens and woods alternated the view and
told of summer blossom and fruit and rich
pasturage. But Zollern was soon reached,
and as we quilted the little station there
on our right, high up on its pure, dazzling,
snowy, icy height stood the deep brown
walls of Hohenzollern.
As we ascended up the near cuts beside
the telegraph poles, on past the little
Marlen-quelle, we suddenly came out of a
wood into full view of the mighty building
above US on its precipitous rock: its walls
and embattlements, halls and ramparts
and bastions and chapels, all clearly
standing out above its pedestal of snowy
forest; every tree of purest white and
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-20

the candelabra are remarkably fine ex-
amples of metal work.
In the castle itself this sense of newness
was also all pervading. One first enters
the Stammbaum, or geneaiogical-tree hall.
Here the walls are decorated with the
usual tree, having circles on its branches,
with the names of the HohenZollern and
Hohenstaufen ancestors. This is illumin-
ated with, on the left-hand side of the
door, the figure of an angel, who bestows a
blessing on all who enter these walls to
look out over the glorious Schwabenland-
i. e., Swabia. An illustration is also given OF
the relations of the Brandenburgers with
in 1454 the old castle destroyed in 1929
was rebuilt, the first stone being laid with
silver tools by the Grand Duke of Austria,
Markgraf of Brandenburg, and Carl of
Baden, and with the consent of the EN-
peror. In fact, careful study of this
picturesque hall would give very good
lesson in European history from the
twelfth to the nineteenth century.
From out of this hall we passed into the
with floor of most highly polished
marble. The timber roof is supported by
very lovely marble pillars, with historic
and symbolic statues in soft tints; and
from the windows one looks out over the
far-stretching landscape, the little town of
Hechingen lying beneath. But we passed
on into the Kaiser Hall at the side, with
its portraits of various Hohenzollern
Kaisers, and into the Bishops Hall. with
but two Bishops statues, from which
window opens out on to the tower, whence
a still wider view of all the country round
can be had.
The following long room is called the
library, and its walls are painted with
some interesting pictures of marvellous
legends of the castle. One is of the white
maid bearing provisions through the
enemy to the castle. Another depicts
Frederick of Ottingen forcing his way
through the besiegers in 1923. Another in
crude colors illustrates the miraculous
founding of the church of Mariazell, that
lies just below the castle. Angels are
bearing the ready-built church down from
the skies to the valley. One picture
that the villagers like to talk of shows who
an impious archer shot three arrows at the
crucifx at Stetten and fell back dead at the
third shot; and yet another points out
how far back the Zollerns have been con-
nected with Portugal, for an illustration is
given of the Emperor Frederick III and
Eleanora of Portugal visiting Zollern in
1866. This and the remembrance that the
present Prince Leopold of Sigmaringen is
married to the Infanta of Portugal may
help some to understand one reason WHY
the Hohenzollerns wished to place him on
the throne of Spain in 1870. Verses illus

the throng of loungers and smooth swim
dlers who have for so long made it their
resort. Since the exposure of their swim
ding work in THE CALL they have not
been SO conspicuously in evidence, but
yesterday the police authorities took Wig
orous steps to preserve the unsophisticated
visitor to the hall from their clutches.
Acting under instructions from Chief
Crowley, Captain Douglass detailed two
officers to watch the corridors and see that
all suspicious characters kept knowing

Chief Crowley when spoken to about the
matter. "We know who these workers are,
and hereafter if any of them hang around
