AN optimistic view of the financial
depression is taken by the PhiladeI-
phia Ledger, which says: "The
American people have no cause,
nothing bus unmanly fears, ignor-
ance or torgettulness, for lack of con
fdence in the indisputable stability
of the financial integrity of their
government The present scare is
not the first one they have toolishly
INDUCED in; the existing financial
conditions are not the worst they
have experienced; the situation is
one of temporary depression, not OF
permanent peril. Courageous trust

The foregoing considerations have ac-

in force these very low rates from San

abandonment of this particular traffic.

Secretary Newman of the Railroad Com

which reads In part as follows:

to San Francisco, also amendment No.

alley, SO per ton to San Francisco, [ beg
to ontline an explanation of the reasons
for the rates from san Luis Obispo Sec
ton and for those from points north Of
and including Santa Margarita.
AS to the rates from San Luis Obispo
and adjacent, the regular transportation
lines plying between San Francisco and
this section have, during the past year or
more, been harassed by tramp steamers,
hard times and lack of work, causing
water craft to hunt up odd jobs or put on
temporary lines of transportation which,
In seasons OF prosperity, would not ba
done. These transient craft have Oper
ated in this section chiefly az Plsmo land
ing. Consequently the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company found it necessary,
in seit-defense, 10 name a rate Of s. per
ton OF 1000 pounds on grain from Miles,

cannot be judged by tho compensation
derived from The San Luis ObIspo tarli.
If such judgment were thought of' IL
may be mentioned that before the present
destructive competition ensued between
the OCEAN carriers themselves, the
water rate from San Luis Obispo and
Vicinity was IS % per ton to San Fran
cisco. From San Luis Obispo the rates
to-day are merely the best that can be OBJ
tanned, without any reference to what is
reasonable. fair and just for the rail car
rier to earn. Not being able to obtain
more we are justified. under the circum-
stances and conditions attending the
traffic, in accepting the low rates. but be-
cause so accepted the carriers for that
reason should not be expected to accept
less than reasonable, fair and just rates
for transportation not attended by these
circumstances and cOndi ditiOns.

1t is manifest that with a 81 rate in
force from San Luis Obispo, Steeles and
Arroyo Grande, this company can secure
no grain tonnage from its stations at San
Luis Obispo, Edna and Oceano unless the
rate charged 10y This company is as low as
that via the Port Hartford route, where
character and value OF service are taken
into consideration.
Via Port Hartford the grain is trans
ferred from car to ship, such transfer may
be deemed disadvantage. Via Port
Hartford there is also marine risk, which
presumably has to be covered by insur-
ance. On the other hand, it is claimed
that via Port Hartford the grain gains
slightly in weight. owing to the moisture
absorbed by the sea air.
By the Southern Pacific line grain is
loaded directly into cars and reaches San
Francisco without further handling. To
the extent of our reliability as common
carriers, the grain is insured when moved
by this company. These considerations
in favor of the rail line are not deemed
by shippers to be worth more than 30
cents per ton more than transportation
by the Port Hartford route. Indeed. many
shippers claim that, everything con-
sidored, the service to them by the rail
line Is worth no more than the service by
the Port Hartford route, and that there
fore the charge instead of being 81 % per
ton should be >, same rs via Port Har-
ford.
From San Luis Obispo to San Fran
cisco Is 233 miles. From OceanO to San
Francisco is 261 miles. We believe that a
rate of S2 80 per ton approximates the
cost of hauling the grain without taking

Mr.. Hamlin filled his grand stand. II ne
did not fill his cash-box. The advertised
event which attracted all attention was
the match race between Azote and Fan
tasy. Most horsemen expected that Mr..
Hamlin would not let Fantasy race on
account of her bad foot, due to the acci-
dent at Cleveland. When she did come
on the track the odds were all against her.
Geers drove Fantasy, and McDoweil
drove Azote. The track was in superb
condition.
The start was bad, Fantasy tagging hall
g length behind Azote. Geers let the
mare out, and at the quarter she was head
and head with Azote, but in the next
quarters of q mile she dropped back
again, content to stick at Azote's nanK.
Mcdowell was driving in exhlbltlon
style. Geers drove Fantasy out again
and put her beside AZote at the three
quarter pole, but when AZote began NOV
ing in the stretch the mare could not
keep the pace, and finished two lengths
behind AZote, whose time was 2:094
The second heat was trotted IN much
Mcdowell held AZote in, and let Fantasy
trot beside him. When he came into the
stretch he swung wide out into the track,
giving Fantasy the pole, and drove home
a length and a half ahead III 2:l24.
FL Rami took three straight heats in
the 2:2S class to-day, with Valley Queen
finishing second each time.
Geers did some mastery driving in the
2:20 trot, winning the $1,000 purse for the
Village Farm with the black stallion
Alliance. Alliance was the favorite at
even money. Miss McGregor had the
pole in the first heat, and carried the
bunch TO the half in 1:07!. Here Geers
brought Alliance to the front, and at the
stretch he was in front, with Lady Viii
ton and Miss McGregOr next. The race
to the wire was exciting, Alliance taking
the heat from Lady Wilton by head.
Miss McGregor finished third. Lady
Wilton pushed Alliance hard in the sec
