The San Francisco call., 1896-01-12

This case rests upon broader grounds than
possible availability of competition by rail and
water routes. The disparity between higher
rates for short hauls and lower ones on long
hauls the latter involving greater service and
expense on the part OF the carrier, is usually
defended upon the ground, where competition
of other carriers is set up that unless the lower
rate Is made, the trafhc Will not move by the
defendants line, but Will be secured by his
competitors. Whatever may be the merits OF
this defense, 1t would seem that better cause
exists for lower rates where, under higher ones,
the traffic is subjected TO such disadvantage or
prejudice thatit will not move at ALL Such is the
situation developed in the case under consid-
Grafton. The rates i'll force from Pueblo TO san
Francisco prohibit the movement of iron and
steel articles from the former place TO the latter,
while greatly lower rates from other, though
far more distant points prevail.
1t is contended by the complainant that but
for the obstructive position taken by the South
ern Pacific the rates complained OF herein
would not have been so high, and some of the
testimony tends to show that it may be for the
interest of the Southern Pacific to encourage
iron and steel traffic via New Orleans so as to
obtain for itself a longer rail haul and greater
compensation than on such traffic routed via
Ogden and its Central Pacific division.
However this may be, determinations and
pTejudices, both as to rates and facilities, have
sometimes been found TO result from the ap-
parent interest of carriers to secure freight at
points situated with reference to the place of
destination, so to give long haul, though
at lower rates than much shorter one at
higher rates, the former yielding greater ag-
gregate revenue. inequality of treatment of
shippers and localities having other justifi-
cation than this end is indefensible.
Taking all the facts and circumstances into
consideration and making due allowances
therefor, we think the rates from Pueblo to
San Francisco should not exceed 45 cents per
100 pounds on steel rails and railway fasten-
ings, or 3712 cents per 100 pounds on bar iron,
castiron water-pipe, pigiron, billets, blooms
riyets, nails and spikes, nor should the rates
from Pueblo to San Francisco on such traffic or
on other iron and steel articles be greater at
any time than rs per cent OF rates contem-

The selection by the State OF about
g., 900 acres OF the arid lands OF the
Snake River valley, il an important
step in the direction Of filing this
''best country on earth" with good
class OF settlers.
The entry Of this large body of land
stretching from Blackfoot to American
Falls means for this part Of Idaho, that
the State has assumed to irrigate these
lands and to have them occupied by
people who want homes in the West
In giving the contract to water these
lands to the American Falls Canal and
Power Company, the State expresses
its confidence in the ability Of that
company to make good its part of the
proposition. Should II fail to do 80
then the State can step in and develop
the canal system itself
For the settler it means that he can
purchase from the State at fifty cents
an acre the land that would have cost
one dollar and twenty-five cents per
acre il purchased from the govern
ment as desert land; that he cannot
be charged for the water more than
the maximum price Of the contract be-
tween the State and the canal com
pany; on long time and low rate Of in
terest, and that when he shall have
made his last payment and the com
pany shall have received its last
payment from the State, the canal will
belong to the settlers who have pur-
chased the water.
Such is brief outline Of the opera
ton OF the State selection of U. S.
lands under the Cary act.
For Blackfoot, it means that the
State will cooperate with the canal
company to advertise this part OF the
country: that good share OF the
money to be spent in constructing the
canal will circulate right here; that
with large influx Of people and tan
giblc promises Of development. new en-
terprises will be added.
The canal company has been pre-
pairing for an active campaign by maxi
ing connections with the best immi-
