Panama to San Francisco.

IAN attempt has been made heretofore to
establish an American line competing with
the Pacific Mail between San Francisco
and Panama, with the assistance of the
Panama Railroad Company. 1t proved to
be a disastrous failure, and was therefore
followed by a renewal OF the discriminat-
ing contract which is to terminate In July
next 1t Is possible that the time is now
ripe for the establishment OF American
competition with the Pacific Mail between
San Francisco and Panama. Certainly the
government in operating the Panama rail-
road VIII do nothing to hinder It. Never
theless it is possible that the position OF ad-
vantage that the Pacific. Mall has with
respect to Mexican and Central American
trade. and Its ownership OF dock at CO.
Ion. may enable 1t to establish lines on
both sides. which will do all the through
business and fix the rates, without enjoy
ing any discrimination in it's favor by the
Panama railroad. If so, the government
could not prevent this except by running a
line from Panama to San Francisco for the
purpose, which II cannot do.
"Mr. Shonts could hardly have been cor
rectly reported in the interview you send
me- because he fully agrees with the policy
of the government, as l have outlined It
above
Should you have any criticism to make
upon it, my dear Mr.. Hooker, I should be
glad to hear from you"

TRAFFIC RATES ACROSS THE
ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.
Control Of the Railroad Will Be Pri-
marily in the Interests Of Con-
struction Of the Canal.

Secretary Taft has made declaration Of
the greatest Importance to railroad interests
respecting the policy OF the government rel
alive to the existing monopoly Of traffic
across the Isthmus of Panama and the fix
ing Of rates over the Panama railroad as
bearing on the existing rates on rranscon-
t1nental traffic. The publication of several
interviews recently with the Secretary him
self. with President Shonts of the canal
commission and with Chief Engineer Wal
lace has led to much confusion in the pub
lie mind on these subjects, and the Secre-
tary concluded to publish letter he has
Just written as the best way of making
known his own Views and purposes In
this letter he makes it plain that there is
to be no discrimination whatever as be-
tween the several steamship companies In
handling their business across the isthmus;
that he does not anticipate any consider
able effect upon the tranScontinental traffic
Of an arrangement of Panama railroad
rates. but that this readjustment will be
had regardless of such effects.
The letter Is addressed to Mr.. James J.
Hooker, chairman executive committee. the
Receivers and Shippers Association Com
pany of Cincinnati, Union Trust building,
Cincinnati, Ohio, and Is as follows:
A Reasonable Profit Only.
Il am in receipt of your letter of April
21, and have read 1t with interest The
policy of the government in managing the
Panama railroad is to charge such rates
as will pay for the carriage Of the goods
across the isthmus, reasonable return on
the investment of the government and moth
ing more. 1t will permit no discrimination
against or in favor of any of the connect
ing steamship lines. 1t may be that this
policy will affect the transcontinental rates
as to those classes of freight that can stand
the 1sthmus trip. favorably for the ship
per. However, Mr.. Wallace, our chief en-
gineer and a railway manager of expert
ence. thinks that the proposed changes will
not have much influence on tTanscontinental
rates, because he thinks that but a small
proportion of that which goes to make up
transcontinental freight can be carried by
the isthmus. The long trip and the fact
that the merchandise carried is to be
considerable period in the tropics exclude
the possibility of carrying many kinds.

A great deal depends on the point OF

her somewhat harsh judgment OF tho

and she is now more charitable. She
writes:
"For many years l was a great Suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that l found | could not
lie down, but walked the floor whilst
others slept l got so nervous / could
not rest anywhere.
specialists told me l must give up
the use of cOffee-the main thing that
I always thought gave me some relief.
I consulted our family physician, and
he, being a coffee fiend himself, told
me to pay no attention to their advice.
Coffee had such charm for me that
in restaurant and getting Whit OF
the fragrance l could not resist cup.
/ felt very lenient towards the drunk
ard who could not pass the saloon.
Friends often urged me to try Postum,
but | turned a deaf ear, saying That
may do for people to whom coffee is
harmful, but not for me-coffee and
will never part
AT last, however, l bought pack
age of Postum, although | was sure
could not drink it. | prepared it as
directed, and served it for breakfast
Well, bitter as was against it, l must
say that never before had l tasted q
more delicious cup Of coffee! From

stayed for dinner. When l passed him
his coffee cup he remarked L am glad
to see you were sensible enough not to
let yourself be persuaded that coffee
was harmful. This is the best cup Of
coffee 1 ever drank, he continued; the
trouble is so few people know how to
make good coffee When he got his
