 San Rafael {Cal.l Spec. San Frars cisco Bulletin: John Bartini and Joe Iafranky, two Italian fishermen, came very near meeting their deaths the other morning off McNear's Point, In San Pablo Bay. Bartini and Lafranky had their nets set for the purpose of catching founders, and when the ti6s started to turn they proceeded to pull in. when they noticed that the nets were harder to handle than usual. They thougbs they had an unusual large catch of founders, but when they had fully 10 fathoms of net pulled into the boat g. large sea lieB was noticed spiashing the water at a furious rate. Bartini called to Lafranky to get an oar and hit him, but just as he had said the words the sea lion stuck his head out of the water and, seeing tho boat and it's occupants, made lunge, capsizing the craft. Bartini. who is a good swimmer, immediately jumped for his partner and. seizing him by the arm, dragged him tt' the boat and f1n- ally managed to get him on the bottom. When the boat capsized the anchor fell overheard and the craft was made fast The sea lion continued splashing the water at 6 terrific rate. and the Ital' fans were badly frightened. They called for help, but their cries were os no avail, as their voices could not hs heard hundred yards. the wind blow ing a terrific gale. Finally, after they had been in the water for fully three hours, q schooner was sighted coming from the Patent brick yard, and the crew lowered a small boat and went to the rescue of the Italians. who were almost exhausted from fright and cold. After about an hour the boat waa lighted, the lion being killed with q shotgun from the schooner. It proved so be large one, weighing fully 1000 bounds. The lion was probably follow" ing Q shoal of herring up the bay and ran foul of the Italians net and suc- eeeded in getting tangled up in it. The net is a complete wreck. This ls the Beeond time that a sea lion has been 50 caught in San Pablo Bay aud almos' at the cost of life.

those officials were annoyed, many OF
them freely condemning the attitude
of the chief executive. However, he is
not deferred in making an effort to ad-
just the differences.
If this effort fails litigation is likely
to follow in which T. F. Carver, repre-
senting the cattlemen. the attorney gen.
eral and the solicitor for the court Of
visitation will appear.
The proposed suits will embody the
following propositions:
One suit will be to compel the roads to
put the old carload system of charging
for cattle shipments into effect.
Another will be to establish equitable
freight rates on live stock.
The third will be the institution of an
individual suit to collect overcharges.
All of the suits will be brought in the
name of the state, as provided by the
law creating the court of visitation.
The railroads will holly contest all of
the cases and will attack the constitu-
tiOnality of the act creating the court.
The matter will soon reach the supreme
court. All parties concerned want an
early decision so that the various polit-
zeal parties will know whether to NOM
mate court Of visitation officers at their
coming conventions.
The lumbermen of the state have
Joined the movement by presenting
their grievances to the governor. The
association at a recent meeting dis
cussed the conditions surrounding the
advance in rates but could discover no
means of avoiding it or producing a
change in the plans of the railroads.
1t was decided that the lumbermen
should join issues with the cattlemen
and that is why the governor has the
conference called with a view of dis
cussing the subject thoroughly.
The governor is convinced that the
present freight rates are extortionate
and says So He has not abused the
railroads particularly but he is in earn
est in this effort to secure a reduction.
He says the action of the railroads is
without precedent and that the increas-
ed freight rates deprive the farmer,
stockman and producer of the profits
to which he is Justly entitled

White Bread E:
STARVES
MANY
PEOPLE
The Reasons are Told
Below.
Observation-Disclosures

A piece of bread that is dry.white and
very light in weight seems to the
thoughtful person like so much foam
or other useless and non-n ourishing
product.
If one rolls a piece Of moist, light
bread or the interior Of a biscuit be-
tween the fingers, a ball of dough is the
result, with an appearance of solidity
that makes one question how the gas
trio juices of the stomach can dissolve
such a wad.
1t is small wonder that such food Gre
ates havoc in the way of fermentation
and gas, and consequent disorder
Many dyspeptics will find great help
by leaving off the ordinary bread en-
tirely, and using in it's place Grape
Nuts, in which the starchy and nitro
genous substances have been thorough
~ and perfectly cooked at the factory
before being sent out
There Is no possibility of the food
assuming the form Of wads of dough
On the contrary, the food is already
predigested, the starch of the grains
has been changed into grape sugar in
the process of manufacture and passes
quickly and directly into circulation.
Grape-Nuts furnish the elements need
ed by the system to rebuild, particu-
larry the soft gray matter in the brain
and throughout the nerve centers in the
body. This statement will be verified
by use of the new food. 1t is delicious
enough to recommend itself upon trial.
All frst-class grocers sell Grape Nuts
and the Postum Co, at Battle Greek,
Mich, make them.

Lumbermen and Cattlemen.

If Agreement Is Reached viii
Change Plans.
Now Intend to Proceed Against
the Railroads.
TO AVOID A LAWSUIT.

Governor Stanley has undertaken to
the cattlemen and lumbermen and the
Kansas railroads which will dispose of
the controversy concerning freight
rates.
The governor has written to the var
1Ous railroad officials asking for con-
ference in this city, probably in the ex-
ecutiVe Office, in the near future. The
date Of the meeting will depend large
" upon the time at which the railroad
officials find themselves able to come to
Topeka
Paul Morton the Santa Fe vice pres
1dent in charge of these subjects is now
in California and will be unable to
reach Topeka before the latter part OF
the month and the conference is likely
to be delayed until that time.
Some weeks ago the cattlemen's asso-
citation presented to the governor their
very general and substantial increase in
the rates for shipping live stock. The
cattlemen adopted a series of reSOlu-
lions during their meeting called for
action at Emporia and a conference
held at Topeka during the meeting of
the state board of agriculture framed
a synopsis of the trouble and filed it
with the governor.
The governor Immediately went to
work seeking an adjustment of the diff
hculties. During the meeting of the
board of agriculture the governor in
speech welcoming the delegates VigOr-
Ously criticised the railroads for the
summary advances that had been an
nounced in freight rates.

New York, Feb. 3.-Mr. Keene insists
that there is nothing in the situation to
justify the marking up of steel and iron
stocks, and believes that if persisted in
it will lead to unpleasant results. The
week is due entirely to the action of the
directors of A. S. & w. in placing the
common stock on a per cent basis. Dur
ing the last few days and according to
on the common issues within a very short
time This is, of course, very cheerful
news and will if verified. cause a sensa-
tional advance in the entire market. 1t
Rep. Steel or National Steel will make as
liberal a disbursement as was agreed on
by the directors of a. S. & w. last Mon
day. It is cheering to note that the
railroads are beginning to receive more
attention When speculation drifts into
those stocks, it surely must it will
be easy to map out the course of prices.
The course of the manipulatOrS WILL no
doubt, be best advanced by booming the
speclalties, while an upward turn or a
few points in rails will bring the most
benefit to the public at large and insure
a solid foundation for a legitimate bull
market. Although a favorable bank state
ment is looked for today. it does not give
Saturday. The bull pools in Atchison,
preferred, S. P, and Mo. Pacific are Civ
ing these stocks excellent support. The
violent fluctuations in T. c. & l. are not
stock is entirely at the mercy of a little
clique who has the power to do what
they please with it. Moore and Schley
are engineering the deal, and who ever
get severely hurt.
