TUCSON ENCOURAGED
 OVER RAIL PRO.PiGT

TUCSON, Feb. 1.-The best news which has reached Tucson in some time in connection with the Port Lo- bos railroad is thereport brought to this city yesterday morning of the arrival of two carloads of scrapers for railroad building at Sasco. This is taken as an indication that the Port Lobos road expects to begin throwing up its roadbed in the near future.
 The closing down of the Imperial Copper company at Silverbell and the mines of the same corporation at Tombstone caused general discour agement here over the Port Lobos railroad, which is backed by the same people. When the mining properties shut down through an ap parent shortage of funds it was also though that the company would also lack funds for the new railroad, but now there is some hope that the other expenditures were cuTtailed in order to gather resources for the rail road IL is also believed that the company has probably been success ful in forming alliances or raising funds with which to go ahead with fits work.

lEGLBRES RATES HAVE BEEN
 LOWERED

LOS ANGELES. Feb 13.-The 8 a. .eaient made a few days ago by osepn Cali. a prominent attorney O. Los Angeles, to the effect that lrans-eonunental freight rates have LeeA raised by the operation of the interstate commerce law is nothing more or less than a joke in the eyes of all who come ia contact with it. has been challenged by John J. Byrne, assistant passenger traffic maneger of the Santa Fe railroad system, who has addressed a letter to the members of the Los Angeles Wholesale Credit Mems association, setting forth his reasons for disagree ing with Mir. Call
 In speaking of his views on the interstate commerce laws Mir. Byrne said:
 MT. Call is quoted as saying that the interstate commerce laws is Joke, not only to him but to all other peoples of the world. I cant quItt agree with him and l believe that the snlppers-the men who actually come in contact with the law anu its operations will bear me out in the statement that no matter what the law does or how it is admins tered it is anything but a joke. Per. sonally [ have found it 10 be a much to be respected enactment of the commission, which controls 1t. Q body of men trying to deal fairly with an enormous question involving the commercial welfare of the en- tire country"
 In speaking of and in an effort to show how the law had increased the trans-con linental freight rates through its optration. Mir Call made a num- Der of statements of facts, but he did not give them all He went back to the time of the railway freight war of 1887, quoting the rates in effect in that year. which, in comparison to those in effect now. are lower. He neglected, however, to mention the rates in effect just be fore and after the rate war. Had he done so, the impression conveyed by him, that freight rates were lower during that period than at present would have been upset"
 ! The time he spoke of was at the time of war between the Santa iFe and other trans-continental lines leading into Southern California, just after the Santa Fe had begun op- erations in this territory In order | to secure some of the business of this country, the Santa Fe engaged in a rate war, quoting the absurd rate of so cents per hundred pounds on some commodities. It is true that this rate Is lower than the one at present in effect, but it was sim lply a war time" rate and nothing more.
 MT Call quoted this rate. but he neglected one thing. He did not lduote the rates in effect just before and just after the rate war. The year previous to this war the rate per hundred pounds was s4.70. while lthe year following was S400. Ina; lis the real rate of effect during the lperiod of years spoken of by MT Call and it Is somewhat higher than lthe one in effect now, which is
 s3.00 per hundred pounds. The rates I have quoted apply to first class freight and all other classes are fig lured on the same basis"
 q believe l am right in saying
 with the above figures to bear me lout. that instead of the interstate lcommerce law increasing freight lrates through it's operations it has materially assisted in reducing them lsome SC per cent. between the years lof 1888 and 1911.
