OFFICIALS SILENT AS
TO FREIGHT RATES
Proposed Increase Has Been Referred
by the Chamber of Commerce
to Its Special Transport
tation Committee

Whatever step may be taken by the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce in
protesting against the proposed in
crease in freight rates by the various
transcontinental railroads operating in
California depends entirely upon the
action that may be taken by the trans
portation committee of that body, Of
which Charles Weir, the lumber dealer,
is chairman. This is the committee to
which the matter was referred by the
directors of the board at yesterdays
meeting.
The question came up before the
directors of the chamber yesterday af-
ternoon in executive session, but in
what shape the officers refused to state,
although they said positively that it
was not brought to their attention by
the traffic bureau of this city. When
this committee will report has not been
decided, but probably it will be at the
regular meeting of the board next
Wednesday.
Nothing even remotely connected
with the idea of a mass convention to
be held in Los Angeles was brought up
or discussed at yesterdays meeting.

THE LITTLE EMPTY STOCKING
By L. A. Wyman
Have you listened to the knocking,
To the silent inward knocking
From our Saviour up above.
On your heart and conscience knocking
For the little empty stocking
In the chimny corner hung?
Oh the tragic empty stocking,
Crushing childhood with its hooking!
In the early Christmas morn.
IF you've filled this empty stocking,
Just one tiny empty stocking,
With some little gift of love.
Then you are that much the better.
And your life's much the sweeter,
And your names by angels sung;
For little life you've frightened,
And Its heavy burden lightened
On the day that Christ was born.

LAST APPEAL OF
CHILDREN TO PEOPLE
THROUGH SANTA CLAUS

Most of the letters received by the
Santa Claus editor of The Herald are
of the same general tenor-that Santa
is likely to overlook the writers, their
brothers and sisters unless the Christ
mas dinner fund is made expansive
enough to-cover their cases.
Santa will endeavor to reach each
writer, but as hundreds of friends have
written and as they live in widely
scattered portions of the city, some
may unfortunately be overlooked. Ii
all writer's will come to The Herald
branch depot, 1923 South Hill street,
they can get the green tags that will
admit them to the Y. M. G. A. build
ing, to Simpson auditorium and to free
passage on all yellow Los Angeles
Railway company cars on Friday.
Hence to be sure that Santa reaches
you come downtown and get tickets
for your brothers and sisters, and do
it today.
This is the last day for receiving let
ters, and be sure to sign your full name
and address, age, size Of shoes and
clothes, your parents names and
school you attend if any.
Here are few of the letters:

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

An annular eclipse Of the sun will
take place on June rs, It will be
visible In America as a partial eclipse.
A large portion OF the face OF the
sun will be hidden and the phenom-
enon will probably be one of the most
interesting of its kind which has been
visible in North America for some
time
June 2S is on a Sunday. The mid
die of the eclipse will take place
Just about the time that most good
little boys and girls are in Sunday
school. It will commence about $50
o'clock in the morning and end at
about 11:15.
In parts OF Western Africa, Florida
and Mexico 1t will be visible as an
annular eclipse, only small part OF
the suns disk being visible in the
form OF a light circle around the
moon.
If the weather proves favorable,
and there are no clouds, or but few
of them, the people of Amarillo will
have the opportunity OF witnessing a
fairly good performance in the sky

pulse are scheduled for 1908. The
