IS THIS HILLS ROAD
To THE CITY?
San Francisco, Idaho and
Montana Announces That
Building Will Start Soon
RIVAL OF HARTMAN

/ From present indications il seems
probable that the Southern PaciHc
will have a rival railroad tapping tno
rich Klamath country and getting
share of the rich freight that the Har-
riman line expected to keep to ITSELF
The new line is the San Francisco.
Idaho and Montana Railroad 1t IS TO
have its beginning at Butte and us
ending at San Francisco. the right-oI-
way passing through Boise City, skirt
ing Southern Oregon and traversins
California through the Sacramento
Valley.
The power behind this projected line
is being kept a secret 1t is said that
this Is the first move OF James Hill. OF
the Northern Pacific, to build into san
Francisco and battle with Hartman
on his own ground, as was told IN
The Call last month Some believe
that the road is being backed by min
ing and timber men OF the Northwest
who hope to open up a new district.
The Southern Pacific officials do no
know who Is back OF this 5robaole'
rival. but they are bending their ensr-
gies to find out.
The San Francisco. Idaho and Mon
tana Railroad was projected several
years ago by wealthy mining men or
the Northwest. Surveys were made
through Oregon and Idaho. the line
from Butte to San-Francisco being
SnOrEer CQaQ the hartman route "
$50 miles. The surveys were laid aside
later on, however, and allowed TO
gather dust, the promoters having
turned their attention to the mining
business.
A few months ago the road woke up
and began action. Contracts were let
for grade work out OF Boise City, an
ONCE was established and officials rode
around the country on passes
It's HILL" said the wise ones OF
the Northwest. He has bought the
old surveys and will begin his line to
San Francisco" Then the affair was
forgotten
Yesterday the Southern Pacific re-
ceived word through it's Eastern rep

peared as active bidders In the steel
market and were purchasing steel
rails and bridge steel wherever they
gould get them.

alignment had been completed as far

Movement to Eject

Court of Illinois. Instructions have
been sent to the Chicago attorneys of
the policy-holders to petition the court
TO remove these representatives of the
receiver, which Is now the State Bank
OF Illinois. Consequently proceedings
or much local interest are about to
begin.
John s. Partridge, secretary of the
traders Policy-holders' Company.
made a statement yesterday concern
Ing the cause for this action. He said:
When policy-holder goes to the
representatives in Oakland of the re-
ceiver of the Traders Company the
proposition is advanced at once to
make an adjustment. This is not San
adjustment In any sense OF the word.
but merely horizontal cut There
Is no uniform basis of cutting as far
as l can learn. The adjusters SEEM
ingly act on their own judgment The
policy-holders come back to us and tell
what has happened.
The worst OF the matter Is that
many of them are deluded into be-
lteying that when they agree to a cut
of 25 per cent or some other reduc-
ton they have established the per-
centage that they will receive on the
faces of policies. Nothing could be
further from the truth
"A widow went to the adjuster of
the Traders Company and agreed to
reduction OF $500 on s250O policy.
Her husband died April IT. the day be-
fore the fire She simply gave up a
claim of $500 which she was entitled
to collect and gets no benefit OF any
sort for so doing
1T would seem to be probable that
the adjuster is acting IN the interest of
the stockholders OF the Traders Com
pany- If he can succeed in persuadins g
the policy-holders to throw. off enough
from their claims in the aggregate 1t
may be possible that the stockholders
by such tactics may make a showing
of paying 100 cents on the dollar on
the adjustments, so called. and at the
same time manage to dodge all per-
sonal liability for a deficit.
I'VE know that many policy-holders
of the Traders Company have been
persuaded to permit their claims to be
slashed. and we have concluded that
the time has arrived when II is neces-
sary to ask the court to remove Moore
and his assistants, who while repre-
senting the receiver are acting In the
way described"

Company in San Francisco amount to
