REGULATIONS FOR AUTOMOBILES.

Y PETITION is now before the Supervisors
I ! from a dairyman requesting permission to run
a milk-wagon with a gasoline motor. The
question of rules and regulations for the coming
automobile IS therefore fairly before the authorities OF
San Francisco as it has been for some time before
those of the East
A rule of the Park Commissioners of Chicago for
bidding the use of automobiles in the parks along
the bouevards OF that city was promptly declared in
valid by the courts, the ground that the authorities
had no right under the law to discriminate against
such vehicles by 1t is the duty of the Commits
soners said the Judge, to enact and enforce regula
tons governing the of any and all kinds OF We
hicles in the public pleasure grounds but they
not forbid the use of automobile any than
they can forbid the use of bicycles ordinary car
riages.
The issue is one which cannot be postponed The
automobile IS coming into general with much
greater rapdity than most people suppose In every
large city the authorities arc considering how to ar
range rules for their in such way as to protect
the public from danger and at the time safeguard
the rights OF the progressive people who desire
profit by the advantages OF the new machine
The New York Tribune in discussing the problem
it appears in that city, after pointing that the
number of automobiles in is steadily increasing
and that they be seen everywhere on the
streets and in the parks, says: without attempting
to pass upon the merits OF any particular plan may
be said unhesitatingy that special rules for the
regulation of the of such vehicles would be en-
tire1y legitimate and may we'll be necessary To make
such rules would be discriminate against them
but merely recognize the fact that they are different
from horse vehicles and must be treated differently
1t is to be borne in mind, moreover that not only
automobiles different from other vehicles but they
differ widely from another. One type of the ma
chine might be safely permitted, while another would
be of danger nuisance. What form OF
motor car the petitiohng daryman wishes to run
through the streets milk-wagon we do not know
1t may be harmless, or it may be Objectionable. 1t
has served the purpose OF bringing to our authorities
the issue that is perplexng the East The problem is
not one to be solved without much consideration and
perhaps the safer plan will be to adopt any gen
eral rule at all, but deal with each machine on its
merits until the East with its greater experience has
given us better ideas OF how to deal with them all

TRANSCONTINENTAL TELEPHONING

IMPORTS from Denver are to the effect that the
X people of that city will soon have the advantage
OF communication with New York by long
distance telephone The authority for the report is
said to be E. B. Field, manager of the Colorado
Telephone Company who has just returned from the
East, and who that after full discussion
OF the feasibility OF the project favorable decision
was reached and arrangements made for undertak-
ing it.
The westward movement and extension of long
distance telephonlng will not stop at Denver In
fact Mr. Field himself is quoted as saying the man
ayers OF the system have already their eyes upon
Salt Lake City and San Francisco It is worth noting
that the Salt Lake Herald in commenting upon the
Denver reports, says the news 'is of deep local in
erest at this time, from the fact that telephone COM
mun1cat1on between Salt Lake and Denver is AMONG
the early probabilities and lines are being constructed
now that will eventually form part of this system
The long-d1stance telephone now reaches as far
west as Omaha 1t IS no longer experiment It's
feasibility and its commercial value for comnl,1nica-
ton between widely separated points have been amply
proven The extension of the system across the con
t1nent IS mere matter OF money and enterprise The
managers are now considering the extension to Den
yer, and when once that has been accomplished 4
further extension to San Francisco will be natural
and inevitable result
The westward progress of the enterprise will be
watched on this coast with little interest and the
arrival OF the new line will be hailed with welcome
Modern ingenuity, profting by the natural forces re-
Veaed by science has worked many things that would
nave appeared as miracles ina former age but moth
Ing more wonderful has been accomplished than what
is now promised in telephone communication across
the breadth of the continent

THE EASTERN VIEW OF 1T.

~ NE of the satisfactory features Of the discus
| sion concerning the condition and the pros
poets of the wine industry in California is the
amount Of interest displayed in it by the East The
issue is watched in that part Of the Union with no
little attention, and has been extensively commented
on by many Of the influential papers in the
larger cities.
A short time ago called attention to review
of the subject by correspondent OF the New York
Times, who maintained that the depression is due
solely to the faults of those engaged in the wine
dustry AS proof of the correctness of his view the
writer stated that the wine industry in the East is in
hourishing condition, and that while the output
amounts TO hardly than one-hfth of that OF
California, it yields more money.
somewhat similar view Of the subject is taken by

political enemies with an audacious
scheme Of fraud and force on election
day. that, II carried out, Is destined to
reduce the vote fer General Taylor by
