ENTHUSIASTIC
RAILROAD
Meeting Held by the Citi.
zens of Demiug Tues
day Night.

The Adelphi Club rooms were
fairly jammed Tuesday night by
representative citizens of Dem
ing, who had assembled for the
purpose Of determining what
course to pursue in regard to di.
recting into Deming the propos.
ed new railroad, the Columbus,
Colorado & Mexican.
The promoters of the new line
have put up the proposition to
the town Of giving $4,000 in
leash, the right of way through
the city and two blocks of
ground for passenger and freight
depot purposes.
The meeting was called to or
der by j. j. Bennett, who acted
as chairman. Arthur &. Raithel
was chosen as secretary. The
calling Of the assembly together
was followed by brief talks by
the chairman, A. W. Pollard, DR..
Swope, Capt. Knowles and 9TH
ers, who stated the proposition
the railroad people had made to
the town as they had obtained it
from Mr.. Bailey, president of the
proposed new road. Capt. Know
les volunteered 70 donate the
two blocks of ground and from
then on the meeting warmed up
to an enthusiastic pitch. At
this juncture Judge Jas. S. Field
or arose and made a booster
talk that had a most happy eff
feet. He dwelt enthusiastically
on the Importance of Deming
getting the railroad and gave it
rs his opinion that the road
would he built inside of a year
and that if Dsming failed to-
seize the opportunity now pre-
sented TO secure it, it would re-
sulC most disastrously to the
growth of our town. Judge Field
er concluded his talk by offer
ing to subscribe $500 to the
sos, 900 bonus asked. Ralph {.
Ely and DR.. Swope followed by
expressing a willingness to give
a similar amount, and Col. Bur |
dick, Col. Smith, j. A. Mahoncy. /
A. j. Clark, c. NJ. McCamcy. /
w. c. Wallis and others present |
expressed themselves as being
highly in favor of Deming get
ting the road and would join the
movement TO bring it to the town. |
After discussing several plans |
to raise the bonus, q motion was
made and carried to the effect
that the chair appoint Il COM
mittee of five to raise subscrip-
tions for the bonus fund in the
way of notes, same to be de-
posted in the bank subject to
when the road was
built according to arrangements
that might be entered into be-
tween the town and the railroad /
company. Col. Burdick, DR..
Swope, S. Lindauer, w. C. Wal.
lis and J, A. Mahoney were ap-
poin,el as this committee.
The meeting was a rousing one
from alpha to omega and demon
strates and confirms the fact that
Deming is getting to have few
equals as a wideawake town and
in this particular instance is fully
alive to the value of the enter
prise and has set her head to
land it.
When the committee calls on
you respond literally and have
the probability Of Deming getting
his very important railway line
made a glorious reality in short
order. II

clfic commodities, but he expressly and
emphatically denied knowledge of an
increase of rates that in any particular
would correspond to the threatened rail
tariffs. He said specifically that no
general or horizontal advance was con-
templated.
When asked to specify on which COM
modities he thought the rates would be
advanced, Sutton said he did not know.
as he had not received advices from
the New York office of the company.
He was then informed by his inquisitor
that the rate upon leather would be adj
vanced and that he should have been
aware of the fact, as the information
had emanated from mis- own office.
He admitted finally that the rate on
leather would be increased, saying,
however, that within his knowledge
only two shipments, certainly not more
than three, had been made over his line.
Sutton endeavored to create the i'm
preston that the leather rate was of
minor importance, arguing that the
greater market for California tanners
was in the Middle West. Consequently,
he said, the element of water competi-
ton did not enter into the question, as
high local rates from the seaboard to a
competitive market would preclude adj
vantage in shipping the product by the
Observation-Disclosures Company.
Careful questioning failed to elicit
any further information from Sutton
concerning what he termed contemplate

Where Advance Applies.

AS far as can be ascertained the con-
templated advance of water rates will
apply principally to several of Califor-
MIA g most important commodities
dried fruit, canned fruit, canned salmon
and leather. 1t is the claim of the
officers of the steamship company that
but few commodities are shipped east
ward and that not more than three
expectations of leather have been made.
Notwithstanding, there is great
anxiety in business circles, inasmuch
as it had been hoped to find relief from
the threatened advance of rail rates by
diverting all commodities which would
stand water transportation to the
Company. The news
yesterday fell like a bomb and it will
be some time before shippers recover
their shattered senses.
Business men have been facing a
grave situation since the matter of
freight rates was first discussed. It
has become more and more, from day
to day, common topic.
Looming through the clouds of
trouble and apprehension, however, has
been the ray of hope radiating from
the ocean and the American Hawaiian
line, the freight patronage of which,
it is said, has been increased gradually
and consistently. There has been
great feeling of confidence in the steam
ship company and all shippers have be-
lieved that if denied relief by the rail-
roads or the courts, they still might
find an outlet for the bulk of their

troll of the steamship line, or that he
had succeeded in effecting a traffic ar
rangement, was entirely unfounded and
absurd. H. A. Jones, general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific Company
said he knew nothing of such an agree,
ment and that he thought the report
was unfounded.
1t is the opinion of business men,
however, that an arrangement of some
sort has been made, if the control of
the steamship line has not been aetu-
ally transferred. In support of this
opinion it is declared that the contem-
plated advance by the steamship COM
pany will correspond with the threat
ened increase of rail rates. Evidently,
the traffic men knew what they were
doing when it was first proposed to ad-
vance rail rates and knew also what
to expect of the steamship line, it is
said The confirmation of the contem-
plated advance by the steamship line
is commonly accepted as being indica-
tive of the fact that the transconti-
mental railroads had no fear of increas-
ing the differential in favor of the wa
ter route.
1t is asserted, furthermore, that, like
the threatened rail tariffs, the advance
by the steamship line will affect only
California and California products. This
is regarded as conclusive evidence of
a traffic agreement between the rail-
rnads and the steamship cnmnanv

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-Alarm
xeigned in business circles yesterday
when it was persistently reported that
Il. H. Hartman had obtained control
of or consummated a traffic agreement
with the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company, and that an immediate ad-
vance of ocean rates on East bound
commodities would be made in pursu-
ance of the policy of the transcontinen-
tai railroads to put in effect, January
list, a horizontal increase of freight
rates affecting California terminals,
Business men were later transported
from a state Of high alarm to utter
stupefeation by the confirmation of the
report that rates would be advanced
by the steamship company.
From A. NJ. Sutton, general freight
agent of the American-Hawaiian Com
pany, was drawn an equivocal admis-
sion that an increase would be made,
which, in most particulars, would cor
respond with the threatened advance
of East-bound rail rates. There will
be no West-bound advances, according
to the freight agent.
Denies Traffic Agreement.
Sutton emphatieally denied that the
increase would be made under a traf-
1ic agreement with Hartman, asserting
chat any intelligence indicating that
the railroad magnate had obtained con-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-12-12

products through the steamship line.
Now, they seem to think that their last
hope has been blighted, as what is de-
scribed as small advance will keep
shippers relatively in the position they
have hitherto occupied.
Effort has been made to establish the
authenticity of these reports, which, it
is said, first emanated from an officer
of the Southern Pacific Company two
weeks ago.
Many Reports Circulated.
Subsequently a report was started to
the effect that the control of the Te-
huantepec railroad, which conveys the
freight, of the Observation-Disclosures line
to the Gulf of Mexico, had, too, passed
to Hartman. This, and other reports,
were circulated freely. An effort was
the offices of the steamship company
and elsewhere.
G. w. Cook, Pacific Coast manager,
and Freight Agent Sutton both made
positive denials. The two are stock
holders in the company, and asserted
that if the control of the line had pass
ed to new hands they would have been
aware of it. They said, moreover, that
the American Hawaiian Company was a
close corporation, rather a family af-
fair, and that it would be impossible
for any one ito obtain majority of the
stock or to perfect an agreement un-
der WHICH the rates would be dictated.
Sutton, at that time, said there would

common of all ills, and It is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know tina.

relief, and make rest and sleep pos

pain. which is at first temporary,
has become permanent. while In Old
people subject to chronic rheuma-

ment affords is alone worth many
