ACCUSE RAILROAD
OF UNFAIR CHARGE

A new charge of unfair discrimina-
ton is to be lodged against the South
ern Pacific company when the inter
state commerce commission opens its
hearing In this city August 1S- The
complaint will be filed by the Califor-
MIA traffic association through it's man
ager, G. ]. Bradley, who has been col
lecting evidence for several months
The association viii charge that the
Hartman line has been imposing q
loading and unloading charge Of 20
cents a ton on certain articles. while
not levying the extra tariff on other
products. The commission viii be
asked to declare the tax unfair and tc
order its discontinuance.
A second complaint is also being
prepared, in which it will be alleged
that the company has not been con-
forming to its agreement on fruit ship
ments.
The leading charge is destined to be-
come the center of as great a con-
troversy as is now being waged over
the switching fee. The leading tax, il
is said, amounts in the aggregate to
more than $300,O0O a year in the city
Of San Francisco. The Traffic associ-
alton claims that this excess is not i'm
posed on shipments in the east, but
that the Southern Pacific mas directed
II particularly against the merchants
Of the Pacific coast
Under the rules OF the railroad the
charge Of 20 cents ton is levied In
addition to the regular freight tariff
The company claims that the regular
tariff covers merely the haul, and that
it is justified In collecting for Ioadins
and unloading.
When merchant loads his cars or
his own industrial track he is, OF
course, exempt from this charge. but
when he loads on the company's tracks
or from the corporations sheds he is
subjected TO the 20 cent fee. Shippers
claim that they are denied the priv.
fiege of unloading or loading their owr
cars on the railroads tracks, and are
thus forced TO pay the fee in order tt
get their goods or to send them out.
Certain articles are said TO be ex
empt from this rule. Canned salmon
which is handled almost exclusively b,
the Alaska packers association, 1t /,
alleged, is loaded and unloaded withou
extra cost, while canned fruit is sub
iected to the 20 cent tariff
The entire matter win be laid befor,
the commission, and an immediate rul
ing asked for. This is a phase of tn,
TRANSPORTATION business which affects
nearly every shipper on the coast, anS
the outcome will be watched with deeI
interest.

DEPOSITS IN MISSION
EXCEED EXPECTATIONS
German Savings and Loan So-
ciety Finds New Branch
Brings Good Results

The German savings and loan society
is the latest of the local financial insti-
tutions to open a branch in the Mission.
It's new establishment at 2572 Mission
street near Twenty-second, although in
operation little more than q week has
already brought gratifying results.
George Tourny, secretary of the Ger
man savings and loan society, said yes
terday that the number of accounts as
we'll as the size of the deposits were far
in excess of his anticipations. He stat
ed that he looked for a large volume OF
business in this rapidly growing sec
tion of the city. The board of direc-
tors of the bank has not considered IL
feasible at the present time to transact
any other business at the branch than
the depositing of and withdrawal of
money.

PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
State Delegates Chosen and Other
Business Dispatched.

The prohibitionists of Mahaska
county had some difficulty in holding
their first county convention under the
new law. The convention was called
for. eleven--oAciock- this morning, but
upon the first calling of the roll it was
found that but nineteen delegates
were present. The law provides that
one-half of the delegates elected at
the primary election must constitute
quorum for the transaction of bus
mess at the county convention of the
party, and as the prOhibitionists elect
ed forty-two delegates at the recent
election, they found it necessary to
round up two more delegates for the
legal transaction of business. Be-
fore the adjournment of the morning
session, however, there were twenty
three delegates present.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman w. p. Sopher, with r. L.
Turner as Temporary secretary, and up
on motion Mr.. Sopher was made per-
manent chairman and Robt. Williams
permanent secretary of the conven-
ton. Upon motion the chair appoint
ed committee of five to report at the
afternoon session their selection of
officers for the county organization
for the ensuing two years and commit
teemen for the judicial and congress
sional districts. The committee was
appointed as follows: A. Branson,
Prof. Dennis. |. N. McMillen, Thos.
Long and H. r. Strong.
The selection of twenty-one dele
gates to the state convention, to be
held in Des Moines June 23 and "a,
was the next item of business, but
the matter was carried over until
the afternoon session and the conyen,
ton was adjourned until 1870 O'Clock
in the afternoon.
Delegates to State Convention.
The afternoon session was opened
with prayer and the delegates were
seated by precincts. The supervi-
sors' room was filled in the afternoon
and considerable enthusiasm was
shown. The following delegates were
elected to represent Mahaska county
at the state convention:

There was plenty of politics and to
spare in Oskaloosa Saturday. Three diff
ferent parties held county conventions
and carried out programs as arranged
under the primary law. This is the
first time since the town was plated
that all parties have been sheltered
under the court house roof at the same
time, and though so close together
physically, they were hard at work
on different theories, and deyising
all kinds of ideas to defeat the plans
of the other fellows. There were no
contests among the forces in their
own camps, and aside from the ova
tion given Major Lacey by the repub-
licans, there is little out of the ordi-
nary to record.
