kins, was the father OF Mrs. Quinn. The
brothers were associated in several of the
large enterprises which made Mark Hop
kins one of the richest men in the West.
Every Californian knows Of Mark Hopkins.
He was one Of the big Four'-Hunting-
ton. Stanford, Crocker and Hopkins-whose
control of the railroad and transportation
situation in California practically made
them masters of the State
Coils P. Huntington, who died recently
In New York. was at the time of his death
one Of the railroad kings Of the United
States. Leland Stanford also held large
railroad interests, vast tracts of land and
valuable mines. large proportion of the
latter's immense fortune went to establish
the Leland Stanford University. HopkinSs
interests also were varied. and a large sum
of his accumulaionS went to aid q univer-
sity.
In the infancy of the State. the quartet
secured by the Government claim and pur
chase, a large acreage Of land. For build
ing the Southern Pacific Railroad they OBJ
tained additional grants. They encouraged
the emigration to California. to establish
fruit farms. but the Southern Pacific. whose
franchises gridironed the State. showed
freight rates so high that the fruit could
be marketed only at very skimp margin
of profit.
The result was an uproar. which reverber-
ated through the country. The State Leg
islature was charged with being bought
wholesale by the railroad interests to pro-
tect the latter. When the Santa Fe en-
tered the arena for a time, 1t Joined in a
pool with the Southern Pacific. But soon
disagreement arose. and the two roads
indulged in a rate war. Then was an era
of prosperity for the fruit growers and for
California.
Subsequently a northern exit to the East
was obtained. The settlement of the santa
| Fe and Southern Pacific differences did not
leave them absolute masters of the situa-
tIon. Now. therefore, the rates are high In
California though the new line. which Sen
ator Clark of Montana is building though
not finished has caused reductions.
Senator Clark. the Copper King. was one
of the first men to openly defy the all
powerful quartet. He built an immense
| beet sugar factory in Los Alimitos County.
| a sandy land suited TO raising nee's. But
| he thirty miles from a. railroad. and
| in negotiating with the Santa Fe to build
| a switch to the factory, the road answered
requiring a bonus OF land and money
amounting to s5O0O00. The Southern Pa
cifc. when approached. returned a IKE re-
ply.
! Clark refused to deal and announced that
| he would build his own railroad il he had
| to run 1t from Denver to San Francisco
| to obtain satisfactory service. The Santa
F. Fe built the switch at It's own expense, and
On promise of a monopoly of the freight
traffic of the beet sugar industry.
| Mark Hopkins was a typical Californian.
| rugged bluff. determined and shrewd. Mrs.
| Quinn is typical California teauty. always
| fashionably attired, dark. well formed and
| vivacious.

tiOnul Meeting.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Eufaula, l. T., May 2O.-The meeting of
the Five Civilized Tribes. which WAS called
by Chief McCurtaln OF the Choctaws TO

The purpose OF the meeting s to formu-
late plans for calling constitutional con-

the idea that the white peollc. who are In

for Il constitutional convention as soon as
possible. and that these two conventions
shall appoint ten delegates each. who shall
meet and finally draft constitution to be
voted upon by all the residents OF Indian
Territory at the cessation OF the tribal
government.
One Of the constitutional measures will be
the prohibition of the sale OF intoxicanvs.
and the councils Of the Five Tribes will re-
ttlon all the religious denominations
throughout the United States to this end.
The Indians want to merge from tribal gov
eminent into statehood ard want to elm
mate any preparatory form of territorial
government. The: will demand separate
statehood from the Territory Of Oklahoma
The Indians believe that their demands will
have greater weight with the officials at
Washington than all the white people, who
favor amalgamation with Oklahoma.
Tomorrow President Ahrcns Of the
Chamber of Commerce will welcome them
to the city and Mayor McGarr will hand
over the keys
