AMERICANS MADE CHANGE
Mr.. Block Visits His Former Home
and Notes Some Changes.


Michael Block returned yesterday from
six weeks visit in California. To say
that he enjoyed the trip would be putting
It mildly His kinspeople live in and
about San Francisco and he visited them
and took in other parts of the state.
Mr.. Block was one of the frontier set
tiers in that country and he lived in San
Francisco in 1852. 1t is interesting to
hear him tell what the country was then
and what is is today. He considers that
the Pacific coast states are rapidly be-
coming a mighty empire within them
selves.
When 1 was in California in 1852" he
said, the country was one great graz
ing ground and they used to kill sheep
and cattle for the hides The Mexicans
had their adobe houses with no floors
and they just raised such crops as en-
abled them to i've but now the Ameri-
cans have changed the whole face OF the
earth and it IS the finest country in the
world without doubt.
The fruit crop is simply immense;
they have everything you can neme in
abundance. The railroads and the ex-
press companies are reducing rates so
they can ship out the fruit, but there
will be thousands Of bushels rot under
the trees. I was back there nineteen
years ago. but there have been great
changes since that time. People doing
business in the city have palatiaI resi-
dences across the bay and nights and
mornings the boats are loaded with peo-
pie coming TO or returning from the
city.
In 1S52 1 bought town lot out on the
sand hills FOR $50. paid taxes on it
for three years and when / was offered
500 more than IL cost me I sold IT, Il
was a lot $50 feet square. Today there
is a fine Catholic school building on II
and they told me that = the lot wss
vacant now it would be worth Sl5a9o0.
The Catholics own fine property ali along
the Pacific coast. They have schools.
colleges and hospitals without number.
TO the old settlers IN that country
the change in California seems very
astounding talked with a great many

ippines and from what they tell me

RAILROADS FILE
THEIR ANSWERS
With the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
RATES ARE CORRECT
According to a Ruling of the
Commission.

Mayor Mclean yesterday received the
answer Of the Atchison. Topeka < Santa
Fe Railway company regarding the petit
lions filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. charging the railways with
determinations against the city on wheat
and -four The petition charged that the
railway made the dinerenual rates on
wheat and -four TO Texas points. This
petition rectited that a number of years
ago the millers Of Texas could not get
wheat enough to supply the large mills
in that section of the country. The rail-
millers. made the rate on wheat from
southern Kansas points TO Texas milling
centers very low and the rate on -four
high, so that the millers OF this state
could not compete with the millers in
Texas. In 1890 the Kaufman Milling COM
pany filed suit against the railroads
before the interstate commerce commits
sion and on November 80 of that year
the commission decided in favor of the
railroads and their opinion was that this
was a justifable discrimination. Unless
this discrimination was allowed it would
have driven the Texas millers out of ex-
istence
Now the conditions have changed.
Texas millers have enough wheat in their
own neighborhood to supply their mills,
but owing to the low rates they can come
TO Kansas and buy wheat ship it TO
Texas and grind it into -four and ship
cheaper than the Kansas miIlers can, and
the haul is not so great.
The Santa Fe, in its answer. says that
its rates were made under the Kaufman
decision and they pray that the case be
dismissed.
The Wabash railroad was made a party
to the suit against the Frisco railroad,
wherein it is charged that the rates on
commodities from Cleveland and Dayton
Ohio, were less to Oklahoma City than to
Wichita and the goods had to pass
through Wichita going to that point. The
Wabash claims that it has no lines in
this state and it is only with it's connec-
lions with other lines that it is enabled
to do business in Kansas. or Oklahoma.
The answer states that the company ap-
plies the rates given by the different
roads to and from certain points and
adds this amount to their rates. For this
reason, and because they have no voice
IL selecting the rates. they claim that the
petition does not apply to them in any
way and they ask that it be dismissed.

AS result OF Secretary Hays repre-

is expressed in official circles that Amer

Hay regards it as "a monopoly which is a
