sational attack upon Speaker Cannon
was made today in an open letter adj
dressed to the Speaker by Representa-
tive Charles n Fowler, formerly on
the House committee on bankini\ and
finance. Cannon refused to renppoint
him. Fowler has been prominent
''insurgcnt'' in the House. The let
ter rccites the fact that Cannon pro-
posed Fowlcr's scheme to avert the
panic of 1907 and adds: "You literal
ly hnotcd the idea of panic and In.
quircd: what in the hell does bowling
Wall street amount to-? The country
does not care what happens to damned
speculations. Everything Is all right
out West; the country doesn't need
legislation? AS usual your ignorance
and prejudice were all sufficient then
but the panic came as every man OF in
telligence knew 1t would" He nccus-
es Cannon of treachery and traitorous
acts. He accuses him Of conspiSsng
with Tldrlch In pact with the con-
ference committee on tariff bill against

MODESTO. Aug. Tile Modesto
interurban railway company has COM
pleted its grade from Empire. on the
Santa Fe. 10 Modesto and the officers
Of the company announce that they eX-
pect to have cars running over the
new line by september Is, at the latest.
The Pacific construction company has
begun work on the bridge over Dry
creek and the laying of the ties and
rails win be completed as soon as me
bridge. With the building of this line
the people Of Modesto viii, for the
first time, have a competing railroad
as this line win make close connection
with all Santa Fe trains and 1t is eN-
pected that a direct service VIII be
established between Modesto and Oak
dale. Motor cars viii handle the pas
senger traffic on the new road.
The officials OF the Modesto inter
urban are securing rights of way for
an extension of the line from Modesto
TO Newman, 26 miles southwest OF TINS
city. The people along the proposed
right of way are offering every en-
coura cement TO the railway people ana
they are confident that the Newman
extension will be built by next spring.
Al present it is necessary to travel
more than 20 miles. by way of Tracy, IN
order TO reach Newman by rail from
this city. and as it is nearly 30 miles
bv wagon road il is easy to see what
an accommodation the proposed inter
urban road would be TO the people OF
The west side.
Another proposed extension of the
Modesto interurban is east from En-
pire to Waterford and La Grange. The
La Grange water and power company,
backed by Z. A. Wiltsee. John Hays
Hammond and others of equal prom
fnence. is planning the expenditure OF
vast sums for power and mining prop
ositions on the Tuolumne river and
they desire the extension of the road
for the hauling of the supplies needed
I'm their work. The company is at
present operating one of the largest
gold dredgers in the state near La
Grange and has completed a power
system which viii serve electric power
TO Modesto and Turlock
The company is planning TO build
other dredgers and viii build big
dam ou the TuOlumne river for the lm-
pounding of water and the creating OF
power. The building Of a traction line
10 la Grange would save many miles
of hauling for the power COMPANY
