HARTMAN RUSHING
To MhzATLAN.
Gets Rails From Ger
manyin Haste to Fin
ish Mexican Extension
Is AFTER FREIGHT

President E. H. Hartman notified the
San Francisco onces of the Southern
Pacific yesterday that the work on the
extension of the Cananea, Yaqui River
and Pacific Railway from Alamos, Mex
leo, through Mazatlan and down to
Topic and San Marcos would soon be
completed The extension is being hur-
ried because of the seamen's strike In
San Francisco and other coast cities
and a determination on tl4e part Of
Hartman to open up this country as a
freight feeder of the Southern Pacific.
So anxious is the Southern Pacific
president TO complete Chis line that he
sent to Germany and purchased rails
rather than wait for the steel .rust TO
finish them. His buyers picked up
$4,000 tons of standard steel rails in
the German market and have shipped
part to Mazatlan on the steamer Mid
gard. Hundreds of laborers are being
collected throughout Mexico TO work
on the dumps. Engineers and track
finishers are being transported from
the eastern part of the United States
The extension Of the Hartman lines
now reaches from Guaymas to Amos
The distance to Mazatlan IS seventy
five miles. The roadbed on this section
has been partly completed and WA not
take many months to finish
The country surrounding Mazatlan,
Alamos. San Marcos and Teplc prom
ises to become a big freight district
for the Southern Pacific. Most of the
importations for this section are
shipped to Manzanillo or Mazatlan and
carried overland. Since the seamen's
strike it has been next to impossible
for the Mexican merchants to secure
goods from San Francisco or Los An
geles. They look kindly on railway
extension.

In a brief filed in the Supreme Court

quar- and William B. Beaizley, the con-

there can be no judicial power wherS
no controversy exists, either as to title
or to rights of possession. IT is sug-
gested that a new statute of limitation

ME ETHOD|ST FAITH
IN THE ORIENT.

The Monday meeting of the preachers
Of the Methodist Episcopal church of
this city, which has for some time
past been held in the Deaconesses'
Home on Haight street, was held yes
terday in the Simpson Memorial Church
at Hayes and Buchanan streets. Rev.
George A. Hough of the California street
Methodist Episcopal Church presided.
Rev. w. c. Evans of the First Church
OF Topeka, Kans., was introduced and
addressed the meeting.
The principal address of the session
was that Of Bishop Harris of Japan.
He spoke for more than an hour in
interesting way on Christianity in the
empire of the Mikado. He told of the
work OF the missionaries OF the several
Christian churches in the Orient, par
ticularly in Japan. He explained the
proposed unifcation of the Methodist
Episcopal churches, for the purpose of
which a conference is to be held in the
city OF Toxic in May of next year.
Bishop Harris said that it was not
the purpose of the churches there to
sever connection with the mother
church in America, Canada and Great
Britain, but that the condition OF the
country demanded that the churches be
united as the Methodist Church OF
Japan, which now has a membership OF
$4,000. This, he said, did not mean a
diminution of missionary workers and
teachers, but an increase of such, for
the people of new Japan were thirst
ing for knowledge OF Christianity.
PRAISES THE SCHOOLS.
He spoke. in eulogistic terms Of the
schools in Japan and said that there
was not q Christian who visited the
schools who was not accorded a most
cordial welcome and a most respectful
hearing. He referred TO the enthusiastic
greeting which Bryan received.
OF the trouble that took place in
Japan some time ago. in which churches
the difficulties were trivial and could
not be magnihed into international
questions. No demand had been made
for indemnity, but steps were being
taken to make good the loss and the
Buddhists were the principal contribu-
tors. Christianity. he said. had taken
such a firm hold in that country that
it was unsafe to attack it by speech.
COMMON SOLDIERS HONORED.
Touching upon the late war. Bishop
Harris said that when the war was
over first honors were not given to the
generals and the admirals. but to the
common soldiers, and then to those
higher in rank until the highest was
reached. He said that the Japanese
did not gloat over their victories, but
from the highest to the lowest demon
/ strated tnat Ihey were eXceeulnSly
modest
He also spoke of Korea and of the
advance of Christianity in that country.
He said that the people there were
searching for the light far and wide
and that they were seeking every
thing in the line OF literature that
would give Christian enlightenment.
The people, he said, were asking for
Bibles translated into Japanese and the
simple language of the Koreans so that
they might become acquainted with it's
F teachings.

A SILLY SAYING.

sit is a common but silly opin.
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is"
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds:
"For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is SO often
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which 80 seriously interfere
with its usefulness. Q This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as leading in

he different Commissioners expressed
heir personal views informally during
ne discussions.
In the matter of $500 rate for
,l,ono licenses Chairman Poheim said
that while the matter of fixing the
ate would be In the hands OF the
Supervisors. his opinion was that II
was a very fair rate. He thought $500
would be prohibitory. Commissioner
Drinkhouse also expressed himself
sayorably on the $500 rate, and was in
favor of a motion Of Endorsement from
the Board. O'Grady thought such ac-
ton would be premature. In view OF the
general unsettled conditions, and no
action was taken on the motion.
Considerable discussion was had
when the proposal for an early OPEN
ing OF saloons was brought up. Reagan
was in favor OF putting off the opening
of saloons at least until all soldiers
we're removed from the city. Drink
house thought normal conditions would
be established sufficiently to justify
the opening OF saloons by the time all
persons now using street stoves were
back in their own homes and using
their own kitchens
O'Grady thought the matter should
be given further consideration. 1t was
finally decided that the committee from
the Liquor Dealers Association should
go before the Supervisors next Mon
day and have the matter referred 10
the proper committee. A date would
then be set by the committee for n
Joint session with the Commissioners
TO decide the matter.

That the intersection of California

OF San Francisco and OF California Is
assured.
In another week all, or nearly all,

This means that other kinds Of bust

same lines of financial and commercial
subdivision that obtained before the

The banks will not have the massive
homes they once occupied for some
months to come, but they have returned
to their old locations and built around
their invincible vaults shacks or camps
In which they will resume business
next Wednesday. Substantial struc-
! lures will be reared about these tenn
porary sheds, and soon the financial

better housed than ever before.
