CHEAP ER-OCEAN rRHIGHTAGH

No wonder that citrus fruit growers and other
Southern California shippers look ongingly to the
Ishmus Of Panama for release from the iron grip Of
the railway companies
AS shown in yesterdays Herald, the citrus fruit
of this year to the present date has yielded the
railways sS7OS7s5 1t has cost $1,45Oe27 more to
transport the crop to market than the growers got
for it, the share of the growers being $7,25319z The
cost of picking packing etc. foots up 3432 1885, which
brings the market value of the crop close 100000
The net received by the citrus fruit producers,
therefore, is little than onethird the sum for
which the fruit is sold at wholesale in the eastern
markets
These figures show how essential It is to the pros
perity of Southern California that transportation
rates be secured in way Not only the citrus fruit
industry, but all others involving heavy shipments
similarly taxed There appears to be hope for
rial relief by reductions in railroad tariffs the
railway managers contend that reduction be
afforded Unless relief be found in entirely diff
ferent direction the lions share of productive returns
will continue to flow into railway Golfers.
Here in Southern California all looking hopefully
toward the Panama canal project for cheap ranspora
ton between ports and those Of the Atlantic But
at maketh the heart sick" to think of waiting
fifteen years for help from that If the canal
in operation there is no question about the
benefit shippers of all classes would derive from the
relatively cheap freghtage it would afford But 1t
isn't.
benefits which will at least approximate what is hoped
for when the Panama canal becomes established
fact The prospect resulting from the governments
stoppage of the Pacific Mail steamship monopoly was
alluded to in yesterdays Herald. AS the relief is
pected to materiaize very 1t is interesting to
something the extent of freight reduction
that may be expected.
The present freight rate from New York to Val
paraiso Chile for instance is so per 100 pounds
25 cents per cubic foot. That is by way Of the
Panama railroad. The distance between the points
named is 500 miles, nearly twice the distance from
Los Angeles to New York. The rate named is the
that has ruled under the old Panama management but
the figures less than half the charges for hauling
Southern California products across the continent
The purpose of the federal is open the
Panama railway at terms to all shippers.
The Pacific Mail Steamship company may continue TO
operate its lines from Colon to Atlantic ports from
Panama to Pacific ports, but competition will be open to
all In view of the low rates everywhere for
transportation there appears to be why
freight by water between the Atlantic and Pacific
seaboards may not be reduced fully one-half still
leave fair margin of profit for the transporters.
Low freight rates made by steamship companies call
ing at Southern California ports is forecast that
is likely to be realized before the end of the present
year.

WATCHING AFTER HEALTH.

 Activity.

Demopolis. July 23.-(Special) )-The City Council has ordered a two-horse street sprinkler and 1t is expected to arrive in a week or two. In the mean time, acting on the suggestion of the Board of Health, the city is having the streets in the business section of the city sprinkled by use of the fire hose.
 The Street Committee has during the last few days had a gang on the streets getting gutters and streets in first class condition.
 Acting on the advice of the Board of Health the authorities have had the stream flowing into the fountain in the public square increased. It is thought this will prevent the stagna- ton of the water It was also ordered that no more fish be put in the foun- tain except such as are bought and put therein for ornamental purposes. This was done to prevent persons from putting indiscriminate quantities of minnows in the fountain, most of which soon die.
