To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald
In the Record Of Wednesday evening 1t was
stated that I was charged with being a
dummy candidate placed N the field to as
sist the Republican nominee for public
administrator. I wish to correct this false
position In which am placed before the
people of this city and county.
I was induced to run for that office by
my friends. whom know to be loyal Dem
ocrats, and who believed, as do. that I
could he elected If nominated. had less
than thirty-six hours to prepare for this
campaign. and think that the result of
the vote taken on the first day of the con-
vention shows conclusively that my candi-
dacy was neither i'll advised nor insincere
and with that view my name remained be-
fore the convention until nomination was
made; and will be found as earnestly sup

had been placed on It.
| Thanking my friends for their support, I
am, very respectfully.

NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS
CARSON AND COLORADO ROAD TO
BE BUILT TO MoJAvE
A Lively Season for Railroad Build

Notes and Personals

This promises to be the most active year
in the history of Southern California IN
the way of railway enterprises Coming On

in yesterdays Herald, that the firm of
Kessler & Co. had decided to build the road
to Salt Lake and had formed a company
fact that Claus Spreckels has announced
the intention of building from Bakersfield
to a junction with the Santa Fee, comes
the news from a reliable source that the
Carson and Colorado railway, which ex-
tends from Carson to Keller In Owen S
valley. is to be built to Mojave, probably
this winter. This little road is owned by
D. O. Mills, the former California capital
list and now of New York. Its chief bust
ness has been hauling borax to market
from the borax fields near Its terminus.
and has proved a very profitable invest
ment 1t is evident now that Mr.. Mills in
tends to make his line of some consequence,
for its extension to Mojave will give IT a
southern connection with not only the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. but prob
ably also with the Valley line when it is
built south. Further details about this ex-
tension will probably be made public in a
very few days.
Going Into Bakersfield
Some time ago the Southern Pacific, see
ing the growing Importance of Bakersfield,
and in order to be better situat ted to COM
pete with the Valley road, tried to get a
favorable entrance into that city. propos-
ing to build branch line there, If the right
of way could be arranged. The people of
that city, however, had suffered so long
from the hands of that company that they
all were opposed to extending any induce
ment for the proposed line Now it ap-
pears, however, that they have largely
changed their minds, and a move Is I'M
der way to reopen negotiations with the
company looking to the carrying out of the
original plan.

FIRST RAILROAD
In China Was Marrow Gauge From
Shanghai to Woosung.

The first railroad constructed in China
was narrow gauge line from Shanghai
to WoosuDg, put down in 1876, and in
tended chiefly as an ocular demonstra-
ton to the Chinese. At the end of ~
months it was sold to Chinese official,
who straightway tore up the rails and de-
ported them to Formosa. The single
dummy engine of the line now reposes
peacefully in the mud of some Formosan
harbor, together with the wreck of the
junk in which it was transported. Dur
ing these twelve months of its existence
the Shanghai Woosung Railroad, with its
single dummy engine and it's train of
small cars, which, by the way, were of
the American pattern, carried 800 900
passengers, The Chinese came from far
and wide to see and experiment with
this new barbarian curiosity and the PEG
pie in the neighborhood, soon finding 1t
an institution of great practical utility,
became regular patrons. The predicted
uprising OF the people against the con-
struction OF the road never materialized,
and, as for the graves along the route,
every farmer would manufacture as many
graves as he could get dollars for per-
mission to traverse them.

Two Pointed Questions Answered

What is the use Of making better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
30 that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale that will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgement on them and use only
the better one. This explains the large
sale of Cbamberlains Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
put forth with exaggerated claims, but
are certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is nothing
equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

NO PRISONS NEEDED.
Enviable State Of Public Morals In
Iceland.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are 80 honest in their
habits that such material defenses to
property as locks, bolts and bars are not
required. Yet its history for the past
1000 years records no more than two
thefts.
OF these two cases one was that of a
native who was detected after stealing
several sheep; but as he had done so to
supply his family, who were suffering for
want of food, when he had broken his
arm, provisions were furnished to them,
and work was found for him when he
was able to do it, and meanwhile he was
placed under medical care; but the stig-
ma attached to his crime was considered
sufficient punishment.
The other theft was made by Ger
man, who stole IL sheep. But as he was
in comfortable circumstances, and the
robbery was malicious, the sentence
passed upon him was that he should at
once sell all his property.

MAN is

Interesting Figures on What He
DevOurs in q Lifetime.
lie Eats a Ton Of Solid Food Every
Year of His Existence.

In one day healthy man will eat on
an average one and half pounds Of
bread in the form Of the white or corn
bread, biscuits, pastry, pies, and the like,
all of which, Of course, have for their
essential elements, baked flour and corn
meal For the first ten years of life and
the last ten, we will assume that only
half this quantity is eaten. So, altogeth-
er, our typical man consumes, on an aver
age, one and a half pounds OF bread
each day for sixty years, This works
out at between fourteen and fifteen tons
of bread in lifetime. II we imagine
the whole quantity to be baked in one
huge loaf, we should require a decent
sized room, containing | 200 cubic feet,
to hold it. Meat is an important item.
The man who regularly partakes OF his
two rashers of bacon for breakfast, and
his roast for dinner, and half pound Of
steak for supper, being required to order
his life's supply of meat at birth, could
put it in this way: Slices Of bacon TO
measure four miles placed end to end
chops to reach from Cloverport to Ball
town; all the beef on twenty full-sized
steers. Allowing our man one and
half pounds of bread each day, one
pound of flesh foods, one-half pound of
fish, two pounds of vegetables and fruit,
and one-half pound of sundries, we have
total of FIVE and half pounds of solid
foods daily, or nearly a ton a year.
Taking this average to extend over sixty
years, the exact weight Of solid food con-
sumed in lifetime is very approximate
ly fifty-three tons.
