The State Railroad Commission is
now actively in operation, although lit
igation attacking its rights is still
pending in the United States Circuit
Court. Its hands are no longer tied by
injunction and it is now hearing COM
plants of shippers, collecting informa-
tion concerning the railroads, and has
already demonstrated capacity for ex-
cellent service to the people, The rail-
roads have in some instances refunded
money to shippers and seem disposed
to recognize the efficacy of the bu-
reau, although they still bring litiga-
tion against it.

There are 700 metalliferous mines
now operating in Colorado, employing
approximately $4,000 men. During the
past year the State Bureau of Mines
has examined more mining properties
than in any year since the department
was created. The number of fatal ac-
cidents has been reduced from 5.45 per
cent. per 1000 men in 1898 to 226 per
cent. per 1000 men in 1907. Compe-

improved machinery is still lowering

About 135,000 laboring men are en-
ployed in the mines, smelters, manu-
facuring and transportation indus
tries of Colorado. 1t is the business
of the State Labor Commissioners
office to collect full information about
these men, their wages and the condi-
tions surrounding them. Assistance is
constantly extended laboring men in
collecting wages from individuals and
corporations, where the wages are fair
ly due and the men have no money
with which to go to law. Thousands
of dollars are thus saved to poor men
and women each year, who could not
otherwise collect it. The present de-

thing from the government, excepting
sea postage, the same as We pay to
foreign vessels.
In Germany, shipping by sea is
practically the business of the Imper-
ial government. The officers and
crew are in effect members of the
German navy. Over S2,OOOOOO were
spent for German mail subsidies alone
last year, which together with pref
erential freight rates and exemption
of ship-building materials from GUS
toms duties has built up a vast car
rying trade for the fatherland.
France pays bounties for the con-
struction of merchant ships, besides
about $6,000,000 for mail services and
naval subvention. Italy pays an equal
amount Great Britain boosts her
merchant marine with about 100000
600 similarly spent annually.
America spends nothing. Result,
her merchant marine is annihilated.
we spent ldSJ year lOl llSlSllL Oii bASN~
foreign vessels, 5000, 100000. If our
government were to devote an amount
equal to per cent of this or $S,O0O,-
600 annually, in encouraging Ameri-
can shipping, our flag would not be
driven from the seas by the Japanese.
And yet last year the Gallinger bill
appropriating about half this
amount for encouraging shipping with
the Orient and South America which
passed the senate by a vote of four
to one. was defeated by few short
sighted members of the house.
When next a similar bill is intro
duced in congress it is believed that a
public sentiment, aroused by the dis
appearance of our flag from the seas,
will force its passage.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 22,-
With the favorable action of the house
of representatives upon the application
of the Southern Pacific to tunnel under
Fort Mason have come reports of a vast
Hartman project to obtain adequate
terminal facilities in San Francisco. II
is known that one Of the big problems
now before the Hartman lines is that

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IS. With
the Pacific ocean churned into foam In
a hundred directions by big new ia"
panese liners carrying American
freight. the U. s. merchant marine on
the Pacific coast has dwindled to six
lone vessels.
Down in Mission bay below San
Francisco the last three American
liners to ply between the Golden Gate
and Australia swing at their rusty
cables empty and rotting Without
government aid these big 17-knot YES
sells could be operated only at a loss;
and now we have no line to Australia
and New Zealand, and practically none
to the Orient.
Further up the bay, for months 9TH
er sea-going craft have lain empty
victims of Eastern jayhawker legis-
lators, while fleets under foreign flags
pass in and out loaded with Ameri-
can freight, paid for with American
gold.
With the center of international
gravity shifted to the Pacific, the
coast cities are commercial cripples.
With 900 million mouths to feed in
the Orient We have no outlet for our
vast surplus of fruits and grain ex-
cepting on foreign ships. Were a war
suddenly to break out there is on the
coast scarcely q vessel that could be
used as a troop ship or collier.
The bulk of the Atlantic trade is
now lost, to Germany and England.
In a few years Japan will have
captured all the Pacific trade. Ninety
three per cent of American shipping
is carried under foreign flags, and un-
less congress comes to the rescue, In
financing a merchant marine, the re-
naming per cent is bound to be
wiped out
When Admiral Evans feet was
here, there were three warships to
every merchant ship flying the Ame-
rican flag on the Pacific coast, and he
had to hire an escort of foreign col
.ers to brin coal around the Horn
| When the naval fleet arrived in Sgd
ney it was greeted by only one mer-
chant vessel flying the Stars and
| Stripes, a lumber schooner from Pu-
get Sound. There were none at all at
Rio, Callao or Valparaiso.
In striking contrast to the annihila-
ton of our shipping is the enormous
growth OF the ocean carrying trade OF
| Japan. In 10 years Japan has increas.
ed the number of its merchant ship
by nearly 1000 per cent. This is du
partly to the low wages of japanese
seamen and to the pull-together po
I Icy of commercial japan, but chilly

the government and local authorities

figuring on an entirely new and am
bilious scheme
BIG PROPERTY BOUGHT.
The new project, as explained by
men high up in the Hartman coun-
ellis, calls first of all for the acquisi-
ton of the Maurice Dore water
blocks near Fort Mason. The South
ern Pacific has sought this property
openly and it forms the basis for
the greatest engineering undertaking
the city has known. 1t is stated that
these lots will cost Hartman about
$4,000
The purchase of the water blocks,
which lie near the foot of Van Ness
avenue, will be followed, according to
these same reports, by the erection of
a system of docks and slips intended
to accommodate vast traffic.
TWO TUNNELS UNDER CITY.
The rest of the plan includes two
tunnels under the city, one running the
length of Van Ness avenue to Market
street. where it is understood a ter
minal depot will be constructed in con-
junction with the Ocean Shore railroad,
and the other tube extending diagonal
ly under Russian and Telegraph hills,
emerging at Sansome street in the
heart of the wholesale district, where
a big freight terminal is contemplated
The docks at the foot of Van Ness
avenue according to the scheme now
under consideration, will be used in
conjunction with another water base
at Sausalito. to which trains will be
DETECTED over the new Napa route.
TRAINS TO SAUSALITO.
1t is stated that it is the intention
to run passenger trains from the upper
Sacramento and possibly the overland
traffic to the Sausalito shore and from
there operate line of ferry boats to
the proposed depot at the foot Of Van
Ness avenue.
With an entrance into the city at the
foot of Van Ness avenue the Southern
Pacific would be in a position to du-
plicate the work that has been done by
other large lines in eastern cities. The
double tunnel, as proposed in the ten
tative scheme, calls for the separation
of the freight and passenger business.
1t is admitted that the Ocean Shore
at Market and Eleventh streets holds
the most desirable position for a pas
senger depot. The plans drawn for
Hartman call for a tube under Van
Ness avenue for its entire length. This
would bring the Southern Pacific pas
senger trains to the junction of Van
Ness avenue and Market street and
give Hartman the Market street de-
pot for which he has long struggled.
