OF 5000 CARS

TACOMA, Jan. 30.-Eight thousand
cars Of westbound freight are blockad-
ed on the Northern Pacific line between
the Cascade Mountains and st. Paul
Unusual storms in Montana and Da-
kota are given as the reason for this
tremendous blockade, which resulted
yesterday in an embargo against all
freight other than perishable for ship
ment east until the blockade is raised.
Similar conditions exist on the Great
Northern. That line has not accepted
any through freight from the coast
since January 16 for points east OF
White Fish. Mont. The embargoes Of

SUMS UP
LEGISLATURE
His Opinion Is That Smaller
Proportion of the Mem
bers Would Steal Horses
SPEAKS AT STANFORD
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Jan. 30
Former Governor George c. Pardee de-
livered an eloquent address before the
student body this morning on The
College Mans Duty TO His Country"
1t was expected that the former chief
executive would have some pointed re-
marks to make on State. politics. but
while he made several biting references
to the present regime. he avoided studi-
ously any direct charges.
While the Legislature in session at
Sacramento is composed OF fairly de-
cent men," said Pardee, while there
are not many there who would steal
horses. they seem to have lost their
personal respect in the mob and are
doing things with the peoples money
which they would not do with their
own"
In the same connection the ex-Gov-
ernor characterized the people of the
State as being "woefully tax-ridden."
That ii was the duty of every voter
TO actively participate in politics was
the strain OF DR. Pardee's remarks.
People have asked me many, many
times" he said. what business 1 ever
had in engaging in politics and I have
always replied that 1 had all the bust
cerned me vitally.
Your own faculty is remiss In that
it does not participate actively in poll
tics. IL Is the duty OF faculty men as
electors. If I had my way l would COM
pei every man willy nilly,' 'nolens
volens, 10 take a hand in the game.
You will sit by. see the tickets fixed,
swell up with pride when you go TO
vote. and then wonder why the man
you helped to elect does not do his
duty.
IT have no word to express my con-
tempt for the man who is not patri-
otic in the time OF peace. The future
OF government is more at stake at the
polls than it is on the field of battle.
Call il the dirty pool Of politics. II you
will II is your business, my business,
to rid It of its corruption. Even In
San Francisco there are men who have
engaged in politics who have not lost
their self-respect and the respect OF
their associates"

FAILED To BOOST
PRICE Of COAL

OAKLAND, Jan. SO.-An attempt to
boost the price OF virtually the only
kind OF coal now obtainalle here from
$3.50 to sls a ton was made at the
last meeting of the Alameda County
Retail Coal Dealers Association. but
failed to carry The reason given by
IN, majority who opposed it was that
the wholesalers had announced that
they had not advanced prices and the
retailers would have to shoulder the
responsibility. At the meeting II was
learned that many dealers were recent
ly forced to close heir yards on ac-
count of inability to get stock of
coal The few dealers who continued
were unable to supply more than few
sacks 60 any one customer. One promi-
nent dealer is known TO have solds an
ordinary grade of coal during the, scar
city for $3.50 sack, rate equaling
SIS ton
The situation has been considerably
relieved by the arrival of the City of
Wellington with a cargo Of 225O tons
Of coal for local markets.
