IS GOULD DATE
TRAINS THEN FROM BALTI-
MORE TO SAN FRANCISCO
Western Pacific to Cut OF six Months
From Its Construction Tlme-Ar-
bltratlon Boards Reduce
Friction

Advices received in Los Angeles are
that the Western Pacific will reduce
the time Of its building from Salt Lake
city to San Francisco by six months
and, If possible, a year.
It's engineering department hopes to
have the entire line completed and
ready for use on January 1, 1909, with
through passenger and freight trains
from San Francisco to Baltimore.
This move is made as a result of the
desire of the Goulds to get into San
Francisco in time to grow up with the
new business lines of the city. Forty
seven miles of track have been laid
out of Salt Lake City. The line is now
within sixty-five miles Of the Nevada
line. The grading in Nevada and Cali
fornia is progressing. The long stretch
across the desert is as yet untouched.
The Southern Pacific and Western
Pacific officials, through their respec-
tive New York instructions from Har-
rinan and Gould, are not to fight each
other on matters pertaining to Western
Pacific rights of way where they en-
croach on Southern Pacific lands be-
tween Oakland and Stockton and be-
tween Stockton and Oroville.
All disputes in the territory mem
toned are to be submitted to arbitra-
ton, and the arbitration boards as
sessed valuation of land belonging to
the Southern Pacific and desired by the
Western Pacific is to be paid by the
latter without question.
This agreement will expedite con-
struction work by the Gould line and
removes a certain amount of official
friction between the two railroad cor
pOrations.

WANT A TRACK ON BANNING
Coffin Company Petitions Council for
Spur Privileges to Connect
With Santa Fe

The Los Angeles Coffin company yes
terday petitioned the city council for a
spur track on Banning street from
Vignes to a point connecting with the
main track of the Santa Fe.
The technical description of the pro-
posed spur is rs follows: Beginning at
a point 13 feet north of the southwest
corner of the intersection of Banning
and Vignes, thence westerly along 15-
degree curve to the right for 109 feet,
thence over a A-degree curve to the
left for 93.S feet, thence on tangent
74.2 feet "a feet distant and parallel
to the center of the main track of the
Santa Fe railroad.
All of which means in English that
the Los Angeles Coffin company and
Santa Fe want to run a spur block
long on Banning street, curving from
the north to the south side of the
street and practically taking up the
entire street.
This petition had been read to the
council and had been laid aside to be
acted in in a few minutes when some
of the old records could be produced,
but before the council got to it again
the adjournment was taken and the
question of granting the spur left up
in the air.
It will probably come before the
council again at the session to be held

nADE FROr1 NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
sQuaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the
"Favorite Prescription" skillfully COM
bined with other agents that make it
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar to women
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely use of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, faintness,
bearing down pains or distress should not

scrtption" will work marvellous benefit
IN all such cases, and generally effect a
permanent cure II persisted in for rea-
Prescription is a harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without a drop of alcohol In Its
make up, whereas all other medicines,
put up for sale through druggists for
womans peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of splrituous liquors, which
are very harmful, especially to delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription" con-
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit
forming drugs. All its ingredients are
printed ON each bottle wrapper. 1t is
powerful invigorating tonic, imparting
health and strength in particular TO the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and slckly women, who are "worn-out,"
or debllitated, especially for women who
work In store, office, or school room, who
sit at the typewriter or sewing machine,
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers, DR.. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription will prove priceless benefit
because Of its health restoring and
strength-giving power.
For constipation, the true, scientific
cure Is DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Mild, harmless, yet sure.

MAKES HIS SECOND
REQUEST FOR LICENSE
EUGENE ARNETT NOT DIScOUR-
AGED BY TURN DOWN
Application Is Filed for Permit to
Sell liquor on Central Avenue.
Another Storm of Protest Is Ex-
pected

Eugene Arnett, who was denied a
license for a wholesale liquor store at
1914 San Pedro street by the police
commission Tuesday night yesterday
presented another application for the
same kind of a license at 2507 Central
avenue. Accompanying this applica-
ton Arnett filed a petition signed by
more than two-thirdS of the frontage
on both sides of the street in the block.
The block on Central avenue between
Twenty-fifth and Adams streets is
very short one, according to Mr.. Ar
nett, having but a total of 634 feet on
both sides of the street. OF this 'front.'
age his petition represents SIS feet. He
has 316 feet on one side of the street
and 202 feet on the other.
AS the proposed location is within
a few blocks of the one he asked for
Tuesday night and which met such a
storm of protest from residents of the
neighborhood, it is expected that the
police commission rooms will be
crowded with protestants next Tues
day night when the application will
come up before the commission for ac-
ton.
The city attorney declared yesterday
that he would give the police COM
mission an Interpretation of the new
frontage ordinance this week. Hts rul-
ing will be that an applicant must Sc
cure the consent of two-thirds of the
frontage on each side of the street and
not a total of the entire frontage Of
the block. He will also rule that it IS
not mandatory on the commission to
grant a license when the applicant has
complied with the terms of the ordin-
ance, but that discretion may be used
and the commission act as it sees fit
An applicant however, must have the
two-thirds frontage before his appli-
cation can be considered.
This is the first case that has come
before the commission since the or
dinance requiring the frontage was
passed by the council in special session
two weeks ago. Others who desire
wholesale licenses are waiting for this
case to be decided before making ap-
plications.

COUNTS COIN UNDER LAMP
and Fierce Pursuit Follows,
With One Arrest

While Malecio Contranez, a Mexican,
was counting money in the light of an
arc lamp at the corner of Marchessault
and San Fernando streets Tuesday
night he was assailed by two white
men, who ran away with the coins.
Contrarez followed, but finally lost
sight of them when they scaled a high
fence.
Policemen Oker and Lemon saw the
fugitiyes, however. and took up the
chase finally catching one of the al
legged robbers who gave his name as
G. B. Comford. The captive was taken
to the central station, where he be-
came very defiant, and challenged the
officers to prove their case against him.
Comford will be held until his record
mas been looked up, but II is thought
by District Attorney North that the DO
licemen and Contrarez will have a
hard time to prove anything against
this man.

PUTS PUBLIC INTERESTS FIRST
Gould Would Silence camor of the
Wabash BondhoIders
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-George Gould,
who has returned from abroad. in
dulged says the Herald, in some peril
nent comments regarding the duty
which a great railway system of the
west has, contrasted with the consider
alton 1t should give to holders of its
securities.
These views were given when Mr.
Gould was speaking of plan recently
announced for exchanging the $26,0O0,-
900 Wabash debenture bonds, on which
the system has been unable to pay
interest, for new securities. The bond
holders have been making demands for
payments of interest for a year, owing
to increased earnings, which for the
last few years have been devoted to i'm
proving the system.
I'VE cannot keep the Wabash rail-
road in proper condition. said Mr.
Gould, land at the same time make any
payment on the debentures.
1.-The railroad owes a duty to the pub
lie fully as much as it does to its Sc
curity holders. and the latter certainly
recognize this fact as an established
principle in making their investments.
We cannot let the property run down
to the detriment of the shipping in
terests
1--WE cannot ignore the demands of
the public for proper transportation
facilities and it is our duty to provide
them.
'There is urgent necessity for double
tracking from st. Louis to Chicago
and other points. We cannot sell bonds
to do this work, owing to the debenture
mortgage, and the only way for us to
accomplish it in existing circumstances
is to carry on the building out of sur
plus earnings.
80 the Wabash railroad cannot be
properly maintained unless we adopt
a plan for the exchange of the deben-
ture bonds, as now proposed, under
which the bondholders are to get new
per cent bonds and preferred and
common stock. 1 hope the plan will go
through, as it is to the best interests of
the bondholderS.
II am the largest Individual holder
of debenture bonds, and intend to de-
post mine in exchange for new securi-
ties Whether the proposition will be
carried out now rests solely with the
bondholders.''

WILL ELIMINATE.
THE BACK STAMP
POSTOFFICE HOPES TO SAVE
MUCH TIME
Experiment Of Omltting Received
Postmark on Letters Proves
Success In Chicago.
Flint Favors 1t

An important and interesting expert
ment is being tried by the postoInce
department with a view of saving tlIne
and expense in omitting what is teen
nically termed the back stamp on let
ters, which gives the time and date oi
the arrival of the letters at the local
office.
When asked whether the experiment
was to be carried out in Los Angeles,
Postmaster Flint expressed himself as
strongly favoring the innovation.
''I am strongly in favor Of the move
and hope it will be carried out In Los
Angeles" said Postmaster Flint. w nen
20, 900 letters come in on the overland
trains. of course it takes time to stamp
all the letters and the last ones are
bound to be late. 1t is good idea
and something that would be of bene-
fit in uuickening the time of service.
''Of course sometimes it Is very i'm
portant and when it is wanted, IL ID
wanted bad. But those cases only come
once in 9999 times, so 1 think 1t would
be worth our while to do It,"
Tried In Chicago
For the past six months the expert
ment has been tried in Chicago. with
highly satisfactory results About
thirty clerks have been dispensed with
in the Windy City as result of the
new move and the time of delivery from
arrival at the postoffice fastened from
two hours to twenty minutes.
Boston, New Jersey, Washington and
other large cities are slated for Nthe
experiment and it is hoped at local
headquarters that the Los Angeles
postoffice may have chance to try
the experiment, which has worked so
we'll in Chicago. OF especial help would
this be during the tourist season, when
the eastern mails are heavy with let
ters and post cards. If the proposed
experiments are as satisfactory as they
have proved in Chicago 1t is probable
that the back stamp will be done
away with entirely.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Frank H. Hitchcock originated the
plan of saving time and expense and
it was under his supervision that the
experiment was inaugurated. So far
not complaint has been received from
Chicago regarding the elimination of
the stamp.
While the postoffice officials voice the
sentiment that the back stamp is of
great Importance. they say that the
saving Of time and expense more than
counterbalances the use of the stamp
and this idea is carried out at the local
postoffice.
