ONE GREAT SYSTEM IS
MR.. HARRIMAN'S IDEAL

Denver, Colo, April If E. H.
Hartman could have his way he would
bring all the railroads in America into
one giant combination, under one head,
and begin Immediately the expenditure
OF $3.50, 600, 900 or $500, 600, 600 in i'm
proving the weaker roads, both ply
slcally and financially. In this way,
he says, he believes he could do the
greatest good for the government, the
people OF the United States generally,
to the shippers individually, and final
~ to the owners of railroad stock.
MI. Hartman, in an informal talk
at the Chamber of Commerce, declared /:
1t ought to be done immediately.
ana l think can qualify as an expert
IN these matters. This should be done
openly and under some sort Of govern
ment supervision. But we would all
De put IN prison if we tried it.
he repeated his assertion that he had
round great change in public senti-
ment towards railroads and railroad
builders throughout the land.
Five years ago." said Mr.. Harri-
man, Il told President Roosevelt that
ne was wrong and that he would have
many lmitators in various states and
cities who would do the country meal
culaDle harm, and what told him
then has proved correct. Roosevelt
was wrong in his fight on me and the
railroads, and the truth Of this is get.
ing clearer every day.

ELECTRICITY TO BE USED
ON B. B. & c. ROAD

Bellingham, April 6,.-By the close
of the summer of 1909 Bellingham will
be connected by interurban roads with
Vancouver, B. G. This will be posi-
BILE as result of the decision Of the
Bellingham Bay & British Columbia
Railway Company to put a motor car
on it's line between this city and Su-
mas, which will connect at the border
town with the line of the British Co.
lubmia Electric Company, which is
being pushed south from the Canadian
cities. 1t is stated by an official of the
local company that a traffic agreement
will no doubt be reached by the two
roads whereby passengers will have
the same conveniences as though they
were patronizing one through line.
Sumas will reach a rich harvest as a
result of the agreement, but it is held
that this city will also be given a valu-
able transportation line. The two
roads will not only make the trip a
shorter one, but also less expensive.

Big Insurance on Art Exhibit

Seattle, April The Alaska Yu-

fire insurance policy for 81, $50, 600 on
the paintings to be exhibited in the
fine arts building. Owing to the large
amount of the policy and the difficulty
of negotiating the contract to he sat-
isfaction of the artists, there was de-
lay in obtaining the policy. AS the
question of insurance was the only
difficulty in he way of securing a large
number of exhibits Of great value from
individual artists and private collec-
tions, it is now assured that this fea-
ture of the exposition will be a success.

Joker in Rate Reduction

Joker in Rate Reduction
When the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company announced that it would take
freight to New York by the isthmus at
a redcution that amounted i'll many
cases to cut of so per cent in the
rate, the shippers were delighted. But
when steamer after steamer left with
vacant cargo space, while shippers
seeking to avail themselves of the re-
duction were put off with one excuse
after another, the sensation OF delight
gradually gave place to a conviction
that the millennium had not fully come.
Fearful to complain when the ship
ments were refused, the merchants had
remained silent. While q rival line
around the Horn might take their
through freight, those who we're ship
ping to the interior by rail knew that
the men who owned both the Pacific
Mail and the Southern Pacific might
put on the screws in a manner that
would make the complainant wish that
he had endured the indignity in silence.
Excuses For Not Taking Freight
The refusal of freight is accomplish
ed in divers ways. One pretext that is
employed is that New York freight
must be loaded in the bottom of the
hold, and if Mexican freight has al
ready been slowed away the shipment
for New York must wait for the next
steamer. In other words, where freight
is offered that must be moved from
interior points by rail the Steamship
company expresses willingness to re-
ceive it, but when the shipper attempts
to have it transported to San Francisco
the railroad fails to find empty cars for
that purpose.
Backs Down Upon Inquiry
Then the company learned that an
investigation was on foot, and in the
last week letters were sent out by
Traffic Manager A. M. Garland to San
Francisco shippers declaring that the
Pacific Mail was ready to receive all
shipments which might be offered. Ev-
identity the Hartman company fears
that the investigation has sting to it,
for the California Fruit Gamers Asso-
citation, which had been refused space
on the last steamer, was suddenly mott
fled that its shipment would be accept
ed, and it went forward. It is known
that the general facts in the situation
have been presented to the present Sec
rotary OF war, and the belief here is
that the investigation was instigated at
his personal order. In any event the
Pacific Mail has seen fit to take notice
OF the fact that there is an investiga-
ton by declaring that it will now take
all cargo offered, and at the rate which
was made so low that company with
out lucrative connections could not
compete.
