Letters From the People
PROTEST FROM INTERIOR

Editor Call: Dear Sir-I would ask
the favor of a reply to the concluding
paragraph of your recent editorial on
Terminal Rates" To quote:
1T is not, however, a question of ex-
pediency or even of justice, but rather
one of necessity arising out of the
geographical facts. If the interstate
commission should issue a mileage basis
order for all railroad rates, that would
simply make land transportation i'm
possible between the coasts, because it
could not meet the water competition"
l would reply with five contentious:
First-Water competition does not
now actually exist because of the
Espee-Paciffc Mail alliance.
Second-Actual water competition
and a fair mileage basis land rate
would, as you say, render intercoast
land transportation impossible; and.
Third-It should be impossible ac-
cording to natures geographical law
that whatever can come by water
should never come in a more expensive
manner by land.
Fourth-Present so called terminal
rates being in reality not water but
actual land rates. it is an injustice to
charge interior points more than or
even these same rates
Fifth-Actual water rates and mile
age basis land rates both based on
only just compensation would still
obtain for coast points cheaper rates
than for interior points, but the ad-
vantage here being just instead of un-
just. interior points would no longer
protest
And in addition let us of the interior
say to you on the coast: Water
rates are yours, but If you must down
Mr.. Schwerin to get them, get busy,
lest we conclude that what you pay
does not matter to you as long as we
pay more. Water rate advantages are
yours One of them is cheaper trans
portation. We cheerfully concede you
that advantage as long as you use
your own route to get 1t. Land ad-
vantages are ours, including lesser
distance and quicker time from eastern
points. When you must or prefer to
use our advantages, then pay accord
ing to the rate that we pay for them.
Not until, however, all freight possible
comes by water at just water rate,
and the balance by land on just mile
age basis, will full justice be done
and your natural geographical law
be equally in force for all parties con-
cerned." SIDNEY w. PERSONS.

IRISH REPLIES TO DAGGETT

Editor Call: Governor Daggett re-
Gently made public complaint that he
wrote letter to President Cleveland
25 years ago, and that / did not send
it to the president.
In answer to my recollection of the
matter he prints a letter from Secre-
tary Dan Lamont to me, acknowledging
for the president the receipt from me
of letter signed by Messrs. Daggett
and Cross and stating that the presi-
dent will give their suggestions con-
sideration when the matters mentioned
are before him.
So it appears that much valued
epistle general of Daggett and Cross
did reach the president through me and
was in his hands before the weighty
matters of which it treated had been
before him.
In view of this 1 am at loss to ac-
count for Governor Daggetts public
exhibition of a sore % years old, for
which Lamonts letter seems to have
left no adequate cause.
Mr.. Cleveland, Judge Field. Jesse d.
Carr and Dan Lamont are all dead. Be-
traying personal correspondence with
men who are no more, and vlrulent
abuse of the dead are not TO my taste.
If Governor Daggett enjoys that sort
of thing he must pay the penalty,
which is the contempt of gentlemen.
Very truly, JOHN +. IRISH.

\ FOOT BALL CAPTAIN
 WHO LOST HIMSELF STRANGE CASE OF MILLER OF
 MICHIGAN TEAM. Found Working on a Fruit Farm in
 Washington.

Walla Walla, Wash, March 1.-The mystery of the disappearance of James Joy Miller. quarterback and captain elect of the Michigan football team. who disappeared from his home in Michigan shortly after he was dis missed from his college for alleged professionalism. has partially been cleared.
 Miller has been working for some time on the Blalock fruit farm, three miles from this city. Apparently Mill ler's mind is blank concerning his identity and incidents of his life prior to his dismissal from college and his disappearance from home. Miller does not even know his own name but has been living here under the name of J. J. Miller. because that is the name on watch which he carries.
 Miller declares that he has never seen football game, much less played in one; that he has no knowledge of his parents or his home. and that he did not know there was d state of Michigan until it was pointed out to him on the map. He does not recol- lect his parents. nor does he know the picture of his sweetheart, which he carries in his watch

THE TABLES TURNED

AN EASY VICTORY FOR SAM
 LANGFoRD.
The Downfall of Flynn Began in the
 First of Eight Rounds.

Los Angeles. March lI.-Sam Lang ford, Boston's wonderful negro fight CT. did away with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. in the eighth round of a battle scheduled to go forty-five rounds, at Vernon this afternoon. The knockout was not clean. Langford's uppercut merely accelerating the beat en white mans fall. Flynn went down prone. striking on his jaw and dislo- eating it.
 Referee Eyeton counted the fireman out even before Hymns seconds real ized what had happened. and the badly punished fighter rose, staggering. his senses reeling. and he made feeble ef- forts to fight again. his arms failing the empty air, Langford having re- tired to his corner.
 Hymns hopes of winning were shat tered in the first round. when Lang ford uppercut him repeatedly. re- ducing his face to a bloody pulp. The audience knew then that only mir acle would give Flynn the fight, but the fireman fought doggedly on through six more rounds, losing ground steadily before the fierce onslaughts of the black man

Equally Certain t Will Be
 Built by MercePeau Co. THE PRICE IS sss,s00
Opening of Bids Yesterday. The Letting of Contract Dependent On Deposit of Bonus Which is Almost Ready

It was the unanimous belief about the court house yesterday that the Center street bridge which has been more or less of dream for year was certain to be realized. It was the time for the opening of the bids and a large number of citizens. most of them bonus subscribers had gathered at the office of the board of supervisors.
 There were two bids. one by the Mereereau Bridge and Construction company of Los Angeles and the other by the Raymond Teeter company. also of Los Angeles. The former proposal was accompanied by a certified check for S1O.O0O. There was no such en- closure in the other bid and 1t was therefore not considered though its figures were considerably lower.
 The Mercereau company proposed Co construct a bridge according to tiir latest plans of Mayberry X Parker for S99 300 the amount which Will 5e at the disposal of the board when t',e bonus is in the treasury; for extra con crete work not shown in the plans the bidder names SIS per cubic yard. for concrete riprapping on the north beuN of the river. s10.59 a yard: for extra steel not shown in the plans. six cents pound: for extra fifty foot spans. s290O each
 The Raymond Teeter company. sub mitted several separate proposals follows: for the bridge according to the plans of Mayberry& Parker. S90 900; for the same plans with wider girders as was recommended by Chief Engineer Jaeger of the S.F.. P S P. s91.650: extra concrete in place. go si a yard; extra steel. four and half cents foot; for riprapping the north bank of the river. s4.50 yard
 It was stated that the board would enter into a contract with the Mer- cereau company as soon as the bonus is put into the treasury and that will in all probability be done today.
 The Mercereau company is a strong one and Dun in a special report gives it high standing. It has a capital of s10O.0O0 and the highest possible credit. It has operated extensively in southern California and has built all the bridges and culverts on the Hunt ington lines in recent years. It built the large concrete bridge across the San Gabriel river. The company was represented at the opening of the bids by Edwin T. Wheeler. Mir. Mayberr, of the firm of architects was also present
 The. people. of the southside were jubilant when they learned the char acter of what is regarded as the sue cessful bid. The bridge project has ai- ready done them great deal of good in bringing them together and infusinC what may be said to be an esprit de corps on that side of the river. They entered into this matter. heart and soul and contributed. some of them with difficulty to the bonus fund. The greater part of it has been raised oB that side of the river. only about S5s- 900 having been contributed by Phos- nix
 There is yet lacking about S509a which it is thought will be raised without difficulty. The Bartlett Heard Land and Cattle company has agreed to raise half of this amount in sddi- tion to its previous heavy subscrip- tiOn.
