NEW FREIGHT BLockADE

SACRAMENTO. June 2s.--More than
1000 cars of freight are standing on
the sidings of the Southern Pacific COM
pany between this city and Oakland
awaiting transportation east. Heavy
freight trains are being run out of this
city eastward to clean up the surplus
which has accumulated. The recent
blockade was caused by westbound
freight, but now the situation is re-
versed. This tieup will prove very
serious to fruit shippers unless raised
at once.

NEW YORh STOCK MARKET

New York, May THE profession
al operators in stocks had the market
10 themselves today. They found the
line of least resistance to be downward
in accordance sold stocks at offered
prices down to seek a profit Oh the
short side Of the market. The senti-
ment Of the day was one of depres-
sion, fOstered by several cOnsldera-
tions. Probably the most effective Of
these was the abandonment Of the
recent operations for the rise
in a handful of stocks which
have made up the biggest pro-
portion of the dealings for a consi1er-
able time past. Union Pacific and
Reading have made up the bulk OIL the
recent market and their relapse today
did not leave room for the escape Of
the general list. The check to the
rise in Reading was reinforced by the
marked weakness in Delaware and
Hudson, which developed yesterday
and continued today. The pressure on
this took had the appearance of licui-

Disappointment felt by shareholders
over the large deficit below the divi-

quarter proved a factor Of depression
in the whole market. Crop advices
continues to be a disturbing influence
in the stock market in spite Of pub

ent authorities il a tone of warning
against exaggerated fears for crops
at the present stage. The weekly bull

the resignation of John C. Spooner as
United States Senator has been placed
in the hands of Governor Davidson, to
take effect on May first. The reason
assigned is that the senator has formed
law partnership in the city of New
York and desires to devote his entire
time and energies to his profession.
Senator Spooner has enjoyed wide
prominence as enc OF the leaders
of the highest legislative body in
the world. He has long been looked
upon as the foremost constitutional
lawyer in the senate. He is serving a
third term as senator. His successor,
for the unexpired term of two years,
must be elected by the present session
of the legislature, and this win, in all
probability. materially interfere with
the progress of the session.

Letter 10 Me-. Jasper Zook.

Dear Sir: Why, do you think, can
Devoe sell pure paint as low as others
sell adulterated paint?
There are 30 or 40 or so different
makers of paint, that rank. in a way,
as ''first-class; they have their reg
ions: ones region is large, another's is
small; everyone is 'first-class" in its
region.
Of these 80 or 40 or so, one is best.
another next, and so on down; but the
prices are all the same or about the
same-you can buy one for less than
another though: personal matte
sometimes.
But how, do you think, can Devoe
sell the best for no more than the rest?
The answer is: it costs less to sell 1t;
more to make, less to sell. Reputation
helps sell it. Its $50 years help sell it.
Go by the name. Yours truly

When you hear a man swearing about
Wisconsin as a state to live in, hit him
with b0orjack the same as you would
the midnight cat with a tall voice
There may be other states as good but
everything considered Wisconsin is
good enough. Occasionally you hear
some one say he is going to leave the
best state in the union and 20 where it
is warmer or where it doesn't cost so
much to clear up the lands. Nine out
of every ten that have carried their
threat into execution wish they were
back, for in other places they find con-
ditions much worse to health and hap
piness than what they left behind. of
all things first to be considered is
healthfalness of climate. When you
find that place, backed by nature 5
richest bestowals, such as soil, water
and wood, then you have all that a kind
Providence intended you should have.

of the grewsogne finds recently report
ed was when freight train was snow
bound. Near the scene was the
home Of farmer. Seeing no smoke
from the cabin, the railroad men
went to the place and found the
family, four in number, frozen to
death. In their endeavor to last
through the cold they had burned
everything, even to the furniture and
inner doors. Had they lived in Wis
consin, possibly the home they left,
they could at least have kept from
freezing This state is good enough
for anybody and the fellow that doesn' t
think so would find fault if his bread
was buttered on both sides. One who
