WESTERN PACIFIC
FILES TARIFF LIST
Interstate Rates Differ but Little
From Those of Other
Railroads
No Passengers Until Spring
May NSt Accept Through
Freight

The Western Pacific filed all of its
interstate tariffs with the California
railroad commission yesterday. The
same tariffs were filed with the inter-
state commerce commission several days
ago. The tariffs are all complete and
will go into effect December l and De-
cember 5, respectively. They differ but
touching at the same points. The trans
continental tariffs have also been filed
with the interstate commission and
will become effective about December s.
1t is probable that the company will
not begin passenger traffic until next
spring. Whether through freight east
will be accepted is still in doubt Ii
the company decides to take eastern
shipments it may be with the under
standing that there will possibly be
delays due to slides in the mountains.
According to Stockton representatives
of the Western Pacific the company will
begin December 10 to operate two
freight trains from that city daily, one
to Oroville and the other to Oakland.
The road will be actually opened De-
cember ], as it will be then that Chief
Dispatcher Meadows will open his key

tion of which has just recently been
completed, will displace the telephone.

vision ever since the company sought
its right of way through the county,
announces that he will sever his con-
nection with the Western Pacific. He
desired to resign December l, but will
have to remain few weeks longer.
Thirtyfive passenger and freight
agents were appointed by the Western
Pacific yesterday. all becoming effec-
tive December l. At the first all agents
will have the title of freight agents,
but as soon as the passenger business
is opened they will assume the title of
freight and passenger agents. Charles

Derrick Employed In Clearing the
Stream Of Trees and Timbers
Lodged Against Bridge.

At o'clock this morning a work
train was ordered out to protect the
Oregon Short Line bridge, in the north
end Of the yard limits. where high
water and an accumulation of floating
trees, timber and general driftwood
had formed dam against the piers
and. aside from inundating the low
country in that section and immediate
ly east. threatened serious damage to
the railroad bridge. A large force Of
men and steam derrick with Crap
ping iron were utilized to clean away
and remove the driftwood. and as a
result Of this prompt action on the part
of Engineer Campbell, the danger Of
trouble was minimized. the water went
down rapidly and prevented further
trouble in this direction.
This point will be carefully guarded
In the future and no driftwood of any
kind will be allowed to accumulate
near the Short Line bridge
No trouble Is apprehended at tho
lower Southern Pacific bridge, al
though that structure is closely guard
ed and will receive attention as long
as high water is threatening,
North, South and East.
Trains are arriving over the Union
Pacific, Oregon Snort Line and Rio
Grande lines nearly on time this after
noon and no serious delays as the re-
suit of recent rains are apprebended
at this time.
Reports from points along the Utah
division OF the Union Pacific show
that Wyoming has been swept by the
heaviest rain and snow storm of the
season during the last forty-eight
hours. but track conditions are report
ed in fairly good shape, although a
little soft between ogden and Raw

Precautionary measures have been
taken at all vulnerable points and
trains are very generally covering the
