AeANDoNs SIOUX CITY LINE
Great Western Declares Expense Of
Construction Too Great

Unexpected announcement is made
by President A. B. Stickney of the
Chicago Great Western in the follow
ing words:
1--WE have given up building the pro-
jected Sioux City line. though it was
dropped with much reluctance. 1t would
have been one of the most costly pieces
of road in Iowa or the middle west,
more expensive than the Omaha line,
and that cost 100000 a mile.
II would have been glad If a way
could have been provided for getting
into Sioux City, for it is one of the best
towns in that part of the country, and
it is going to be a great deal better.
1t has a future which 1 don't think
even its own people appreciate yet"

OMAHA BoYcoTTs RHODE ISLAND
Commercial Club and Shippers Ag-
grieved at Alleged Discrimination

AS a sequel to the letter of w. B.
Biddle, traffic manager of the Rock
Island-Frisco lines, frankly declaring
that the cut of cents in the agreed
rate on grain from Kansas City to
Memphis was for the purpose of re-
lieving the Kansas City market as
against the Omaha market, an organ
lied effort to boycott the Rock Island
was launched by the Omaha CONNER
cial club, Omaha grain exchange and
shippers generally.
The boycott is also intended as pro-
test against the announcement that the
Rock Island would grant to every grain
shipper in Nebraska and Kansas an
unloading allowance of 1 IA cents at
Kansas City. but that allowance would
not be made at Omaha.

URGE HUNTINGTON
TO BUILD MOLE
SAN PEDRO DELIVERS AN
ULTlMATUM
Unless Pacific Electric Interests Use
Franchise Privileges May Be
withdrawn-eenerai Rail-
road News

The first steps over the proposed an
nulment of the Huntington franchise
for a mole In the outer harbor at San
Pedro was taken last night by the
city council.
When the time came at the meeting
for a discussion on the matter, Frank
Burns, president Of the San Pedro
chamber of commerce, made a short
talk asking that the board find out
what Mr. Huntington intended to do,
and If he had no intention of complet-
ing the wharf and mole that steps be
taken to have the franchise annulled so
that II could be given to some one
who would use 1t.
There was little other comment on
the question, but a motion prevailed at
once that the city clerk be instructed
to write to Mr.. Huntington or his at
torney and ask what the intention OF
the company was and, IL mole was
Intended. how soon II would be built.
After Lapse Of Year
It was about one year al go that Mr..
Huntington asked for and received a
franchise in the outer harbor to make
a large fill and construct mole which
would be suitable for the largest ships
to come UP to and discharge their car
goes.
In the franCn1Se II was expressly sup
ulated that work must be commenced
on the mole within six months and fin
ished within five years. Not a stroke
of work was done on the fill or mole
until just a few days before the six
months time limit was up, when a
pier was run out on piling some. 500
feet. This was never completed and
remains Just as 1t was left.
At a recent meeting of the board of
equalization the statement was<made
by an attorney of the Pacific Electric,
so it is said. that there was possi-
bility that the mole would never be
completed. This has caused the fear
that the work is suspended for good,
hence the action taken by the board
last night.
HaIts New Franchise
Only a few weeks ago, when the
Pacific Electric asked for a new fran
chise for a road from the south city
limits to Fourteenth street for a line
which is to extend to Whites point,
1t was urged that 1t be not granted
because of the fact that nothing had
been done of any consequence on the
mole and other franchises given. This
was, however, opposed by the chamber
of commerce. The same man, Mr..
Burns. urged that the franchise be
given and it was.
Many of the citizens of the town are
said to be indignant over the matter
and it has been suggested that mass
meeting be called in order to give the
people a chance to express their views
and to suggest remedy.

FOREMAN FACES
COMMISSIONERS
Head Wants to Know Why Discrim-
ination Against the Service Ex-
lists, as Charged-lnvesti.
gate Brokerage

Foreman Copeland of the water de-
vice commissioners yesterday morning
explaining why 232 emergency men had
been employed during May, June and
July and why in the same time 211
civil service men had been discharged
THE cause for the investigation comes
from complaints from H. Riggs and
George Dixon, former employees of the
water department. The latter men
assert that there is "a marked discrimin-
alton against the civil service men. and
that this discrimination even gives
foreigners preference to the laborers
furnished through the civil service COM
mission channels.
Foreman Copeland of the water de-
partment stated that at times work
becomes so dull that many of the men
are of necessity obliged to quit work
AT other times the laborers run short
of materials. and on such occasions II
Is necessary for the men in charge OF
the laborers to drop several from the
payroll.
From Agents
I'VE understand th;t you also otter
get your men from agents of employ
ment bureaus" said Commissioner
Frank j. Thomas.
"Well. we often find that we neec
men and cannot get them from the civi
list, so we go to the supply stations
and there are usually enough mer
standing around to give us sufficient
to go to work with" rs
How do you find the class of labor
furnished by the civil service commits
sioners' lists ?" was asked of Copeland
"That many OF the men sent to us BY
the civil service commissioners are no
the class of men needed to do thu
work"
When asked II any brokerage bust
ness was carried on between the fore
man OF the laborers and the agents o
employment bureaus Copeland replied
that nothing of the kind existed.
The question was finally taken unde
advisement until next Tuesday morn
ms, when II is hoped that evidence o
one kind or another will have beel
found to either substantate the griey
ance OF the two former employees o
show that Copeland is not guilty o
carrying on a brokerage business witt
! the employment agencies.

TEAR UP CLEVELAND TRACKS
Mayor johnson cooIIy Pockets Court
Injunction as Work Proceeds
By Associated Press


CLEVELAND, July 25.-The Mu-
nicipaI Traction company. recently or
ganized to construct and operate a
number of street car lines in this city
on three-cent fare basis. began a war
on the Cleveland Electric Railway
company today by putting a force of
500 men at work tearing up the tracks
of the latter company in Fulton street.
Mayor johnson, who is credited with
being interested in the railway, was
on the ground, as was also Chief of
Police Kohler and a large number of
officers. Within a short time more
than a quarter of a mile of track had
been torn up.
Mayor johnson said that the action
was taken because the Cleveland Elec-
trio Railway company refused or neg
lected to comply with council resolu-
ton requiring it to take up it's tracks
in Fulton street and remove them to
the east side of the street.
The mayor intimated that he would
not obey an injunction if one was is
sued and said that as a result he might
be in jail.
Subsequently the mayor stated that
tracks were being removed by city en-
ployes under the supervision of the
board of public service, and not by the
Municipal Traction company, as had at
first been generally believed
Judge Ford, in common pleas court,
later granted an injunction restraining
the city and the Municipal Traction
company from further interfering with
the tracks of the Cleveland Electric
Railway company in Fulton street The

COMPETE FOR COFFEE TRAFFIC
independent Line to New York to Be
Started

officials of the Illinois Central have
succeeded in obtaining a monopoly of
the coffee traffic in all the territory
south of the Ohio river and tributary
to New Orleans
This has been done by an agreement
entered into by them with the Lamport
& Holt Steamship company, under
which the latters steamers land at
the Illinois Centrars docks in New Or
leans. and coffee shipments then are
switched from the Illinois Central to
other lines. A rate war is threatened
because of the monopoly thus created.
There also is talk of establishing an
independent line of steamers from New
York to New Orleans. to compete with
the Lamport & Holt company for the
traffic.

Lake Shore Is Said to Be After the
Clover Leaf

It is rumored again that plans are
under way providing for the purchase
of the Toledo, st. Louis & Western, or
Glover Leaf, railroad by the Lake
Shore.
The former property has been for sale
for several years. and would have
changed hands a year or more ago if
the present owners had not demanded
cash instead of an exchange of securi-
ties in payment for their holdings and
if they had not also demanded that

Los ANGELES IS
FIRST IN SALES
POSTMASTER FLINT C0RRECTS
FALSE IMPRESSIONS
Receipts Of Southern California Me-
tropolio Far in Excess Of Port
land, as Figures Will
Show

Postmaster Motley H. Flint is jealous
of the good name of Los Angeles.
In some quarters it appears doubts
have arisen relative to which city leads
in stamp sales on the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Flint said yesterday:
During the past two or three weeks
1 have received inquiries as to whether
Portland, Ore, was a more important
city than Los Angeles in the way of
postal receipts-that is, the sale of
postage stamps, etc.
II have been told that one of the
Portland daily papers published an
article stating that that city was the
second city of Importance on the Pacific
coast, San Francisco being first and
Portland second. This was based upon
the sale of postage stamps of the Port
land postoffice for the year ended June
80, 1906
I'm order to show that the publisher
Of the Portland newspaper Is entirely
incorrect in his assumption and that
Los Angeles is easily the second city on
the Pacific coast, the postal business
of the cities of Los Angeles, Portland
and Seattle 1 have caused to be COM
piled in detail by quarters for the fiscal

Define Boundaries

At the next meeting of the commis-

for Greater Los Angeles will be de-
fined. special committee composed
of Messrs. Mueller, Fleming and Har-
bert has been appointed for the pur-
pose OF considering this subject. The
commission has practically decided
upon a policy of annexation, and the
new committee will report on the cities
and towns which It is desirable TO am
mex. So far efforts have been concen-
trated largely on the San Pedro propo-
sition, and while this proposition will
still hold the lead In point Of immediate
Importance, the lines with respect to
other cities also will be drawn and ef-
forts made to take them in as soon
as possible under some general plan.
