California, though doubtlessly 1t will
be vigorously opposed by the corpora
tions whose lines enter the State. The
bill. will make 1t an offense for any
railway company to run any train,
either freight or passenger, without q
full crew." It is contended by varf-
GUS railway unions that the companies,
actuated solely by motives of economy,
run trains without full crews with the
result that men are denied employ
ment by them and the safety of pas
sengers is frequently jeopardized-
1t is expected that the ratification of
an amendment to the Los Angeles City
charter providing that the life of no
franchise shall be more than II years
will be fought by a powerful street
railway lobby sent here for that pur-
pose The resolution of ratification
will be introduced by Assemblyman
Houser in the House. 1t is not known
who will lead the opposition, but it is
said the support of all the Los Angeles
delegation will not be penind the res
olution. The rapid growth OF Los An
geles is causing the projection Of many
new electric lines and the street rail-
way corporations do not take kindly
to any curtailment of franchise ex-
istence.
APPROPRIATION FOR DAMS.
The people of Placer County want
some money from the present Legisla-
ture to help construct dams for hy-
draulic mining. They will probably
have measures introduced by Assem-
bIyman. Duryea. A dam is wanted on
Webber Creek below Placerville and
another on the Bear River. The amount

For the other dam the people win ask

BITTER GRAIN RATE WAR
Traffic Officials wet in Chicago, but
Without Results and Some Sug-
uest Government Control.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-After a stormy
session during which western traffic Of
tlcia!s tried in vain to settle the grain
rate war. several of them left the meet
ing. declaring hat it had furnished n
strong argument in favor of govern
rates.
The inability to settle the rate war
was all the more astonishing from the
fact that Wall street has demanded q
settlement in order that dividends of,
western roads may not be threatened.
The traffic men. however. We're utterly
unable to agree to restore the grain,
rates, which are now practically 5 and Z
cents from the Missouri river to Chi
cago. despite the act that the rail-
roads are on the eve of one of the
greatest movements in years.
The contract which the Union Pacific
has with the Peavey Elevator company
seems to be the stumbling block. An eff
fort 'ias made to get the other roads
to ignore this contract and permit the
Union Pacific to secure whatever adj
vantage it could under it.
Grain rat have taken n slight move
upward by the announcement of the
roads east of Chicago that, effective
September !, rates on domestic grain
II grain products will be advanced
to Il basis of l71a cents, Chicago to New
York. an advance from 14Ia cents on
domestic grain and from is cents on
grain products. Export grain will be
advanced from 13 to Is cents. Effective
September 90 the rate on export grain
products Will be advanced. Chicago to
New York. from IA to Is cents.
1t is said the effect of this probably
will be. II conditions remain the same,
to send more of the grain thar ever to
he southern ports.

and Black Ribbon.

What Would Otherwise Have
Been a Happy Marriage
Girls Death Hurt Him.

Des Moines. la, Aug. 26.-From out
the grewsolne Caremonials involved in
the eXhuming of the body OF Fritz
Westbrook at Grinnell yesterday-the
young man VINO was murdered in Des
Moines last month by thugs bent upon
robbery-thcre emerged the story of a
romancA which once entwtned two
promising young lives-the light of
both which has now been extinguished.
In the casket beside the remains OF
Fritz WeStbrOok We're found Il package
of love letters. encased in tinted en-
velopcs and bound together with scar
let and black ribbons-the we'll known
colGrs NJ Iowa college at Grinnell.
No sacri!egious hand was permitted
to touch that bundle OF letters-much
less open and read them. Indeed, the
Des ON detectives manifested no
desire to read the letters. Their un-
canny mission was to find a bullet.
With that instrument of death In their
possession the remains of Fritz Vest
brook once more received their cover
ing OF earth and the officers of the law
Wcnde their way homeward.
Relatives, however, today were not
averse to telling something of the story
to which that packet OF letters referred.
Miss Anna Hemlnins OF Marshall
town wrote the letters which We're
found by Wcstbrook's side. Miss Hem
ming was one of the most beautiful
girls who ever attended Iowa college.
One year and Il half & she went to
Chicago on Il visit. 1t was in that city
she wrote the letters, Tho fact that
Miss Ilcmming and young Westbrook
were to marry was known to the fam
lilies of each party to the engagement
and to all intimate friends. But before
the wedding day had been set Miss
