The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-11-10

The work Of building a town isn't
so far different fro mthat Of adyanc-
ing the concerns Of an individual. The
only difference is that It is easy to
interest most persons in their imme-
diate concerns, while men often over
look the fact that their material well
fare is inseparable from the general
we'll being Of town. The man who
has a dollar invested in a given town
and who earns his livelihood in 1t is
vitally concerned In the moral and
material we'll being of that town and
he Is neglecting his own concerns
when he lets an opportunity pass to
do all within his power and resources
to advance the common good. The
man who makes two spears Of grass
grow where but one formerly found
sustenance, has been much praised.
The man who provides employment
for two where but one formerly found
employment lacks much Of being an
enemy of his kind, also.

Rabbits, which were once the
scourge Of Australia, are now source
Of profit to the farmers. The car
casses are put in cold storage and
shipped to England and the far east,
and there is good money in canned
rabbit, too, but the most valuable part
Of these small animals, Is the value
derived from the skins and in fact,
so profitable has become this part Of
the industry, that many trappers are
devoting themselves to 1t, retaining
only the skins.

EACH STATE TO
HAVE A GUEST
SOUTH PASADENA METHoDIsTs
PLAN UNIQUE BANQUET
Tonight an Interstate Supper Will Be
Given, at Which Former Residents
of Different States viii Respond
With Sentiment

South Pasadena Methodsts will give
an interstate dinner Thursday evening
and for miles around church folks are
talking about the affair.
1t will be a big reunion of all adopted
sons and daughters of California, and
each one who attends will respond with
a three-minute greeting.
New Englanders will be seated at one
table, Mississippi valleyites at another,
southerners at another and so on. All
from one state will also sit side by side.
1t will be a huge geographically
divided family with a most tempting
menu before the guests.
The women of the church, which is on
Center street, planned the affair and
quickly won the cooperation of the
men. The pretty church, with its
roomy kitchen and dining rooms, has
ideal facilities for such banquet, and
with the cosmopolitan population of
South Pasadena to draw from the pre-
liminary work was full of surprises.
Men and women, neighbors for
months and years, discovered to their
astonishment through the invitations
that people from their own home towns
dwelled within a radius of a few blocks
of them in their newly adopted Califor-
MIA. others who had not been to
church services for weeks or longer
were entirely willing to respond to so
patriotic a call as saying a kind word
for the home state.
The effects of the interstate banquet,
it is predicted, will be far-reaching,
and the idea will be generally observed
not only among Methodists but among
cities everywhere as a means of uniting
the residents by geographical ties.

RAILWAY WORLD
MAY ESTABLISH INDEPENDENT
LINE
Merchants Are Determined to Secure
Mexican Business and Are Look
ing for Means to Reduce
Freight

Los Angeles merchants have been
looking into the proposition of estab-
fishing an independent line of steam
ships between Los Angeles and Mexi-
can ports They have obtained ship
Ping lists of the business that Was done
by San Francisco merchants with the
Mexican ports before the earthquake
and now look favorably upon an indie
pendent line.
When the Pacific Coast Steamship
company steamer Curacao left San
Pedro May IL it did not carry the cargo
that it should for two reasons, namely:
Because the merchants were unfamiliar
with the way in which goods must be
billed in order not to be confiscated, and
because the freight rates were so high
that profit could not be realized on
the consignment.
The snag that the merchants will
run against in establishing line will
be the freight rate between Los An
geles and San Pedro, unless they can
get Hartman to make concessions to
them that he would not make to the
Pacific Coast Steamship company,
which is known to be controlled by
James j. Hill.
1t is said that Hill does not favor re-
ducing the steamship rates for freight
that is delivered over a Hartman line
because he does not like to see Harri-
man reaping profit. Hartman takes
the same view toward Hill. They have
shown in the northwest that they are
not on friendly terms and are willing to
sacrifice some OF their own gain II
they can reduce the profit that is fiow-
ing into their antagonists Golfers.
This recalls to the merchants the fact
that Hill some time ago asked for a
franchise to build line from San Pedro
to Los Angeles. and promised to estab-
lish a steamship line II he were giver
what he asked for. Some Of the mer-
chants who heretofore have been op.
posed to the proposition now favor 1t
They believe they could In this way
secure a through rate that would alb
sorb the differential between Los An
geles and San Pedro.
From the list OF goods that wer'
shipped from the north to Mexico 1t Il
seen that Los Angeles is placed In gooe
condition to compete with the othei
coast cities. II is near to the source o
the commodities that cannot be raised
or manufactured on the coast and raises
many things that cannot be raised II
the north.
The steamship Curacao last year car
ried $1.042,i67 worth OF freight whicl

throughout the east during the past
season, both at the expense of the

who have visited here and have spent
their time enjoyably.
Local passenger men are enthuSi-
astic over the outlook and say that
when the summer rates go into effect
June the scenes at the depots will re-
semble those when the first tourist
rush begins in the early winter AL
ready a large number of persons have
been booked for passage to Los Angeles
this summer. Reports from the east
ern railroad Offices state that there have
been thousands of inquiries concern
ing the summer rates.
Although some of the conventions
that were to have been held on the
coast have been postponed or declared
off, the railroads are giving the rates
the same as originally planned. These
low excursion rates. together with the
summer rates. will bring a summer out
ing to the coast within the reach OF
thousands of persons who could not
come on the regular fares.

GROWING Business Center

In addition to securing the general
Offices of the Fruit Dispatch company,
formerly located in San Francisco, Los
Angeles is capturing other big institu-
tions, and the end is not yet.
The New York Chronicle, an insur-
ance monthly, makes this announce
ment: "That the disaster of San Fran
cisco, with it's resultant fear of re-
currence of the earthquake. will give
renewed impetus to the already rapid
development of Los Angeles as an in
dustrial center, there seems little doubt.
The growth of Los Angeles means the
growth of the insurance business. First
of the companies to consider Los An
geles too important point to continue
longer as a sub-agency of San Fran
cisco was the American Bonding Of
Baltimore. William j. Unverzagt,
superintendent of agencies of the COM
pany, is in close touch with the in
surance situation on the Pacific coast
and is a firm believer in the future of
Los Angeles. At the first opportunity
he established general agency there,
appointing Fred S. Hughes, who had
represented the company at that point
for three years" Mr.. Hughes is we'll

USES AUTO IN
HUMANITY CAUSE
BERKELEY MAN GOES TO AID
OF DYING HORSE
Sees Mexican BrutalIy Treating AMI
maI--Foroes Him to Desist-Later
Causes Arrest Of Heart
less Man

In an effort to save the life Of a tor
furted horse which was being forced to
draw q heavy load over the Compton
road early yesterday morning, Edward
Coryell. president of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals OF
Berkeley. drove his great White steam
er automobile over the country roads at
a terrific rate of speed, taking hedges,
bitches and all distractions In cloud
of dust until like a spirit of vengeance,
he swooped down on the Mexican
driver and compelled him to turn the
animal loose.
President Coryell is one of the best
known men in the west in the societies
organized for the protection of animals.
Several days ago he started from his
home in Berkeley for trip through
Southern California in his big touring
car. The party came south by the way
of Santa Barbara automobile road, and
late Tuesday evening arrived in Los
Angeles.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. Coryell
and his party, including Mrs. Coryell
and one of her friends started for a
little trip through the suburbs. AS they
neared Compton and were bowling along
at good rate of speed, Mr.. Coryell
noticed team of horses some distance
away on branch road.
One of the animals seemed in fair
condition, but the other had received
a terrible injury to one leg and was
limping painfully. The wound had
been unattended and it was evident
the horse was dying of blood poison,
while the driver lashed the tortured
animals back.
Driver Uses Whip
Time after time the horse, attempting
to keep up with its mate, plunged for
ward to the ground, but each time the
oaths of the driver and the ready whip
brought the beast back to its feet and
the tortuous journey was resumed.
1t required several seconds of observa-
tion before Mr.. Coryell saw the true
state of affairs and then he swung his
automobile around and started for the
other road at a rate far in advance of
the speed limit
The driver, thinking runaway auto
mobile was bearing down on him, at
tempted to get his horses to the side
of the road, but Coryell jumped from
his machine and snatched the whip
from the Mexican's hand.
A fierce argument resulted and the
driver took the injured animal from
the harness, and while Mr.. Coryell and
his party drove slowly hehind, the ami
NAL was taken to Compton and stabbed
there
Coryell then returned to Los Angeles
and hunted up Officer thinner of the
local society. The party then visited
the office of Justice Pierce yesterday
afternoon and a warrant for the arrest
of the driver was sworn out.
In the great machine the party then
scurried away to Compton, where the
suffering horse was destroyed and the
driver arrested and lodged in Jail there.

MUST CREATE NEW POSITION
Motor Cars Present difficulties That
viii Have to Be Solved

A proposition that is now confront
ing the roads all over the country, and
especially the lines in the eastern and
middle states, is as to where the en-
gineers of motor cars shall be classed,
what wages they shall receive, and
what title shall be given them.
1t has not as yet been decided wheth-
er men who are now employed as en-
gineers shall be trained for the new
work or whether new men shall be
hired for this purpose.
w. r. McKeen. superintendent of mo-
tor power for the Union Pacific and in
ventor of the most successful cars in
use, when in Los Angeles several weeks
ago favored hiring new men. In his
