STEAMSHIP FREIGHT LINES
SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION
Several Companies Have Decided to
Lay of Freight Carrying Vessels
and Some VIII Change
Locations

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The agents
of the ocean steamship companies have
been hard hit by a general depression
in freight traffic to Europe, and they
say no relief is in sight.
Since the first of the year they say
there has been a gradual falling off in
freights and a number of lines have
decided to either take some of their
freight off altogether or to transfer
the shrinkage in freight has not been SO
great as here.
They say that although the depres-
sion in freights and carrying business
Is general at the principal ports 1t has
been felt most heavily by the steamship
lines at this port.
The laying off of Ave freight steam
ships by the White Star line last week
was attributed in large measure to
the diversion of grain shipments from
this port to Montreal. but many other
lines besides the White Star have also
felt this diversion of freight keenly.
A Joint meeting has been called for
tomorrow between the trunk line as
ISOLATION and the special committee APP
pointed by the produce exchange. This
meeting will be for the purpose of try
ing to get the railroads to agree to
lower their rates on grain between New
York and the Northwest so as to put
stop to the great increase of grain
shipments to Europe through Montreal.
A member of the executive staff of
the International Mercantile Marine
company said yesterday that COMPETE
ton between the lake boats for the
grain transportation is in large meas
IRE responsible for the position in
which the New York steamship lines
now find themselves.

OCEAN PARK, June 1S.-Colonel w.
w. Coolbaugh, the man who built the
Chicago alley elevated railroad, and
is experienced as a prospector and
surveyor, has been all over the Santa
Monica mountains, camping for long
periods, and he Is about to return to
them for the greater part of the sum-
mer. To the Herald correspondent to-
day he gave some of the results of his
painstaking observations. He said
that under the sage brush and scrub
oak lies unemployed and unlimited
storehouse of valuable minerals. oil,
coal, asphaltum, gypsum and precious
stones, only waiting mans effort to
bring them forth.
Beginning at the Malibu creek, or
at the southwestern slope of the range.
and extending northeast at an average
width of five miles and for a distance
of ten miles in length" he declared.
sufficient minerals can be found to
keep 1000 men employed for years to
come, and when the area is thoroughly
developed it will surprise the country.
1T also will prove large field Of
study for the scientific student. The

most every kind. The canyons will be

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, June 1S.-Henry Il.
Huntington visited Pasadena this
afternoon and took an automobile
trip over the district around North
Lincoln avenue in company with May
or Farley and members of the Lin
coin Avenue Improvement association.
The residents of this sections of the
city have been for a long time agitat-
ing the subject of a car line for their
territory, and at last Mr.. Huntington
agreed to look over the ground in per-
son.
At the conclusion of the trip the
trolley magnate said that he would
have his engineers survey the proposed
route and make an estimate OF the
cost. He did not commit himself in
any way, however, as to whether he
would grant the request. Mayor Ear
ley expressed himself as well satisfied
with the tour of inspection and be-
lieyes there is a good chance for Sc
curing the road If the construction
does not prove to be unduly expensive.
Mr.. Huntington took advantage or
the occasion to mix little polot1cs
with business by intimating that his
company would be much more willing
to construct lines in Pasadena If the
time limit for franchises was not
twenty years. He said that 1t was
necessary to buy new franchise for
n line about as soon as 1t began to pay
expenses.
