Manager Dimmock says the
people have been riding on the 10
cal suburban and Interurban cars
at the expense of Stone-W ebster
that passengers have been pay
ing such small fares that the COM
pany had to pay part of the cost
of transporting them, therefore
they had raised the rates.
The foregoing hgures side by
side with rates of San Francisco 5
suburban lines throw some light
on the situation and show what
people living in Tacoma suburbs
have to pay compared to the cost
of travel for those living in the
suburbs of San Francisco.
An Alameda man can travel 12
miles to San Francisco, do busi-
ness and get back home for to-
tai expenditure of 10 cents. It
costs Spanaway, Steilacoom or
American lake resident Just 80
cents to come to Tacoma and get
home again, the same distance.
On Communication business the
local company offers but one con-
cession, books over the Puyallup
short line. 1t will cost for this
ten miles each way once a day
for 20 days all In one month
$S.40. At San Francisco citizens
get a full month of trips each way
to Elmhurst, four miles further
out, for only $3.50, or a little
over half the Tacoma rate.
The figures don't show how the
country has been built up all
around Frisco by people going
back and forth every day to the
city, while the residents of the
Puyallup valley will have to give
up their little homes II the Puget
Sound Electric and It. r. & r.
railway keeps up the announced
scale.
But such Is the case.
The rates around Frisco are
given by the Southern Pacific
railway, a corporation not noted
FOR any special solicitude for tho
people OF California, and by the
San Francisco, Oakland & San

One is a steam road, the other
an electric road, with power gen.
Grated from oil.
The management of the Stone
Webster lines claims that the IN
crease in rates is necessary be-
cause of heavy operating ex-
penses.
Do they mean to infer that II
costs more to operate an electric
railroad, whose power is gener-
ated from water, than to operate
a steam road. or an electric one,
the source of whose power is oil?
The Frisco roads were giving
cheaper. service than the Tacoma
roads, even before the local lines
raised their rates.

Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda,

Communication books cost $8.40 a
month from Tacoma to Puyallup.

WORST SEEMS TO BE OVER
 IN SPANISH PROVINCES

Madrid, July 3o.-The governments re- ports from Catalonia indicate that the situation continues to improve. King AL fonso and Premier Maura seem satisfied that the worst is over, that the rebellion in Barcelona has been quelled and that order soon will be restored. Neverthe- less. to be on the safe side, large bodies of troops continue to be hurried to the scene.
 No figures nor estimates of the loss of property and life in Catalonia are ob- tainable from the authorities, but private dispatches leaking out through the from tier indicate that there has been great slaughter at Barcelona.
 It is understood that the King greatly regretted the necessity for using artillery, but yielded to the arguments of his cab inet ministers that halfway measures might prove fatal Reports continue to filter in of the widest destruction of property, especially churches, monasteries and convents, against which the fury of the mob was centered.
 The only other regions creating partic- ular anxiety are the Biscayan provinces. The workmen in Bilbao mining districts are well organized and have assumed a threatening attitude. There is some ap- prehension also that the followers of Don Jamie the pretender, may attempt to

Mexican Cily Shaken
 By Severe EArthqudke

Mexico City, July a0.-Central Mexico Querato, on the north to Oxaea, on the south, a distance covering more than 1000 square miles, was slaken at an early hour today by a sc1tes of fhe most Scr we're earthkuade shocks feltin this region for the past quarter of century. Re- ports telling of the loss of life are as yet incomplete, but the official figures to- night show that IA were killed outright while more than a score were mortally injured. The towns of Acapulco and Chil- pancingo, in the state of Guerrero, have been partially destroyed. Communication with this part of the republic of Mex ico has been imperfectly established
 According to the observatory records here, the first shock of the series was felt at 4:10 o'clock this morning, the rocking, oscillatory in character, being from the east to the southwest. It was very se- were, causing the bells of the many ca thedrals of the city to toll, breaking crockery and in some instances leveling walls. The inhabitants of the city had barely recovered from the fright occas- toned by this phenomenon when a second and more severe shock caused an out pouring of nearly all of the inhabitants to the streets and open plazas. This movement was of tripodory and oscilla- tory character and lasted with marked severity for one minute and 30 seconds The tall buildings of the city swayed and in some instances cracked, the pavement opened in places and in the poorer sec- tions of the city number of houses col lapsed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-07-31

So far as can be learned from the police records, six people lost their lives in Mexico City and It's environs as a re suit of this second shock Two were men of the lower class, tise others being three women and a child. Four persona are now in the hospitals so badly wounded that 1t Is stated they cannot recover.
 The second shake so frightened the in- habitants that no one ventured indoors again until daybreak.
 The large American colony escaped un- scathed. There were some slight con tusions reported among them from fall ing plaster, but no serious injuries were recorded They, with the high and low classes of the Mexicans. remained In the plazas or squares until the light of day gave them the courage to return to their dwellings.
 The peon class were terribly frightened over the shocks. For days those humble folk have been predicting a disaster, because the snows the peak of tho volcano Popocatepetl, visible from this city, have been melting An old Aztec legand declares that when the snows on this volcano disappear so too, will the city at its base.
 The property damage in this city is slight Some older cathedral walls were cracked and scores of adobe walls were sent to the ground, but the main business no signs of the severe rocking which 1t has been given.
 The officials of the observatory attrib- ute this to the fact that Mexico City rests on an old lake bed. the made ground upon which a great part of the city rests, acting as a spongy, jelly-lke mass which neutralized the severity of the shakings.

$1OO,OOO FIRE IN ANNISTON
 THIS MORNING

Anniston, July 31, 3:3o a. m.-(spe- ciai.) broke out in the heart of Annstons business district at t:30 o'clock this morning and is still raging. The loss at the present time is esti- mated at over $125,o0o, with prospects of the damage being much greater.
 The fire broke out in the second story of UIIman Bros.' shoe store, the largest dry goods store in the city, and gutted it.. The store of Carre- Field Shoe company, next door, was also completely destroyed. The Rob- inson book store on one side and the Anniston Hardware company on the other were partially destroyed, while there is danger of the fire spreading to the Famous clothing store, which Is In the largest office building here. All of the buildings are located on Noble street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets.
 George E. Cater of the Anniston Hardware company fell from the roof of his store to the roof of UIIman Bros.' building and is probably fatally injured. He fell distance of nearly 20 feet and it is feared fractured his skull. He was removed to his home in an unconscious condition.
 UIIman Bros. are insured for $e0,0o0, while all of the other concerns carried insurance. MT. UIIman was in his store at s:3o o'clock last night. The fire looks very bad at this time.
