CARDS interchange of traffic. 1t came
TO the point where the Salt lake must
choose between a close relationship
with the Hartman interests or make
traffic arrangements with the Denver
d Rio Grande, and the former course
was decided upon.
The Salt Lake had entertained hopes
or working harmoniously with both the
Union Pacific and the Denver & Rio
Grande. but the action of the Oregon
Short Line prevented this.
Drew Up Contract
Mr.. Gibbon said that he and Judge
Kelly drew up the contract of July 8,
1902, upon suggestions made by J. Ross
Clark, Judge Cornish and j. c. Stubbs,
traffic manager of the Union Pacific.
"Mr. Stubbs worked out the traffic
end, didn't he?" asked Mr.. Severance.
Mr.. Gibbon replied in the affirmative,
when the attorney for the commission
said with a laugh, "I thought 1t
sounded much like Stubbs.''
Mr.. Gibbon then was turned over to
Judge Kelly, who proceeded to refresh
the witness memory that, according to
counsel, the clause in the contract re-
ferring to stationary rates referred to
local traffic In Southern California.
Mr.. Gibbon readily assented to this,
ana SdlQ IldI the pTOVlSlOIl
changes In event that agreement was
disclosed by court of competent
authority to be contrary to law, was
inserted because local rates sometimes
became involved in interstate traffic
and became the subject of interstate
law.
Mr.. Severance became interested
again and declared that he could not
see how traffic which reached to Salt
Lake or beyond could by any stretch
of the imagination be termed local"
Mr.. Gibbon said that his company
was willing to tie itself up as to South
ern California traffic in consideration
Of benefits to be accrued by reason of
through traffic arrangements
Mr.. Lane lnterrogates
Mr.. Dunno suggested that it was not
a question of rates so much as eff
ficient service, to which Mr.. Glbbon
acquiesced. when Commissioner Lane
asked the pointed question:
IF that is so, do you think 1t pro-
notes an efficient service to have
line from Salt Lake to Los Angeles
controlled by the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific? Would 1t not be better
for the people of Southern California to
have another road to compete with the
Southern Pacific ana the Santa Fe?"
Yes" replied Mr. Gibbon, "if there
was actual competition"
He admitted. in reply to a question
by the commissioner, that the power
of the Union Pacific made 1t imprac-
ticable to have two roads between Salt
Lake and Los Angeles.
Mr. Severance, after many Interrupt
tions, finally secured a partial admis-
sion that the Salt Lake would have to
accept any rate suggested by the Union
Pacific, but Mr., Gibbon repeatedly de-
lclared that by reason of sound busi-
ness policy the Union Pacific would not

Adjournment until O'Clock was
taken at noon, with Mr.. Gibbon still on
the stand.
Tells of Traffic Agreement
Contrary to expectations, Mr.. Gibbon
was excused at the opening of the af-
Wells of the Salt Lake was called as q
witness.
He admitted that division of traf-
fic was agreed upon, but he did not
know the details. He said that a copy
of the division sheet had been filed
with the commission, but Commission
er Lane asked that another copy be
presented as a part of the record of
this case. Mr.. Wells said that as re-
CARDS through, rates he did not act,
but that he presumed that adjust
ments were made in accordance with
the terms of the contract with the
Hartman interests.
In answer to question Mr. Wells
admitted that it was necessary to re-
Spect the local rates of each company.
He said that there were no arrange
ments for the leasing of cars, but that
the companies "swapped" cars when
it became necessary and paid the regu-
lar per diem rate of so cents per day.
He said that the Salt Lake was US
ing about 25O of the 5000 refrigerator
cars contracted for with the Armour
company, and thatSit could not use
more on account of the lack of power
due to the increase in general business
and the fact that number of engines
are In the shops.
Subject to Delay
Mr. Wells said the company was able
to transport all fruit and vegetables
offered, subject to delay caused by the
punching of trains.-
He said that fruit was divided into
local and through shipments, and that
shipments destined to points west of
the Missouri river were designated as
local.
I'm this instance local does not mean
Southern Californian" suggested Mr..
Severance, to which Mr.. Wells assent
ed, but later he said that the term was
used only by local fruit men. He said
that the Salt Lake last year handled
about ten per cent of the total fruit
shipments, about half of the amount
coming from the territory of the San
ta Fe, but none from this source last
year.
Mr.. Severance asked for a reason for
this remarkable change, but Mr.. Wells
declared that he did not know. At
tention was called to the large increase
in the vegetable shipments over the
Salt Lake, as compared with last year.
Mr.. Wells said that the Salt Lake
gets the vegetable traffic from the
Southern Pacific tracks He did not
know what the Southern Pacific got out
of It, but he supposed that 1t got some-
thing,

Dun & Co.'s January review of crop
conditions throughout Southern Call
fornia states that the heavy rainfall OF
the past month, about four inches more

farmer and orchardist in Southern Cal
ifornia. Some damage was reported
from the celery fields, but on the whole
the section was benefited. Green feed
has been increased, grain crops Sc
cured and irrigation bills saved.
The delay in orange shipments has
helped maintain prices, which are
twenty-five per cent higher than at
this time last year. There are 24,0OO
car of navels to go forward in the
next ninety days. The railroads prom
ise to do all in their power to meet the
matter of car shortage and if traffic
congestion is relieved the fruit will
meet a good market at a fair price.

BATTLEEHIPS FOR THE
PACIFIC COAST.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO MAKE
FINAL REVIEW OF THE
NAVAL FIGHTERS.

New York, Nov 20.-Five of the Is
big American battleships which next
month will start ON one Of the most
notable cruises of the worlds naval
history, are at the Brooklyn navy yard
receiving their last preparations for
the long journey to the Pacific The
other II are at the Norfolk, Boston
and League Island navy yards. Sew
eral of the battleships now at other
yards will come to New York during
the next few days to 60 into the dry
docks at the Brooklyn station. Eleven
and possibly IL of the feet will rem
devious in New York harbor before De-
cember /, and will sail either on that
day or December for Hampton Roads,
from which port the start TO San Fran
cisco will be made December 16, after
President Roosevelt.
| In addition to the five heavily armed
fighting craft at the local yard, four
vessels of the auxiliary squadron OF
supply and repair ships also are under
repair and will be ready in few days
to receive their full cargoes of sup
plies.
The task of loading the foodstuffs
is by no means one of the smallest
of the problems involved in the set
ting out of the heaviest fighting squad
ron ever assembled under the Ameri'
can flag, a fact which is patent, when
of potatoes alone the acquisitions now
in the hands of the pay corps Offices
call for 100000 pounds. The Connects
cut, the flagship of Admiral Evans
which will lead the battleship column
in it's MISUNDERSTANDING cruise, wax

paint.

appearance of the superstructures O
the battleships by the stripping off o
nearly one-half of the small boats for
merly carried 1t was once the idea IL
the navy to carry small boats enough
to accommodate a ships company il
case of wreck Or disaster in battle
Such plan has long since been i'm
practicable, for the crews of the mod
ern fighters have grown to more thai
800 and if small boats enough to carr,
these were carried. there would b
room for little else aboard. The DANCE
of shipwreck now is regarded as re
mote, and in the event Of sinking il
battle the men, it is believed, woul
have as good chances of rescue in cal
ing for themselves individually as the
would in an endeavor to get into boats
The rescue of men from sinking ship
is regarded as one of the duties in
posed upon the victor.

What Do You Think Of Them?

Chicago, Nov. 19.-From the lips of
Chicago club woman, Miss Lillian
Shaffner, has come the most startling
of all suggestions for the solving OF
criminal problems.
Miss Shaffner would hang all idiots.
Brand a murderer with mark on
the forehead and then turn him loose
so that all would recognize him.
Deport foreign criminals, because
it is cheaper than to try them in this
country and support them in this
country's jails.
Put women in Office, because they
could better handle perplexing police
problems than men.

Dynamite Kills Four
People Near Cheney

Cheney, WASH, Nov. 2l.-Four .len
were killed and three injured in an ex-
plosion in construction camp on the
Portland & Seattle railroad, 10 miles
south of Cheney, while thawing dyna-
mite for blasting. The dead and in.
jured were taken to Spokane, the
MANNED bodies being removed to the
morgue, while two of the injured men
were taken to the hospital.
The men we're hand drilling in the
rock preparatory to blasting, and found
that their powder was too chilled to
be used effectively, AS is usual in
suoh cases they built fire to thaw the
dynamite and placed 30 pounds of dy-
Mantle near it on piece of tin. They
were working with their drills rs feet
from the fire, when one of them MOTTO
ed that the dynamite was catching
fire. Calling to three other men, he
ran toward the fire to take the dyna-
mite out of range Of the flames.
Charles Pascuzzi, the foreman, see =
ing their danger, started toward the
blaze, calling to the men to let the
powder alone and get away from it..
He had approached within 80 feet OF
the fire when the dynamite exploded,
hurting the four men to the ground and
killing them instantly. One of the
bodies was SO mutilated that it was
taken to Spokane in cracker box.
Lingo Ferrar, Vito Esperto, Frank
Caroino and Geddo Gotto were killed;
G. Civo was badly cut about the head
and shoulders by flying rock and John
Bornese was thrown to the ground and
stunned by the shock of the explosion.
Charles Pascuzzi, the foreman in
charge of the gang. was badly bruised,
but not taken to the hospital.
The men were Italian laborers hired
by the firm of Abb & Plastinu, who
have taken the contract for the con-
struction of the new road at that point.
