earding the formers right to condemn
a right of way on the lines of the
Southern Pacific railroad in California
he Postal Co has just won a victory
in the highest court to which the

said: "The trend of modern legis-

to destroy monopolies of every kind
and description. The policy OF ollr
government if it has not always been
is certainly now to encourage and
promote free and unhampered COM

and in the sale of all sorts of com-
modities, and in the necessities of

The contest in question arose over
territory between Sacramento and
Roseville, California, distance Of
about eighteen miles where the Pos
| tai Co. had for more than twenty
years its telegraph line on the South
ern Pacific right of way. In recon
structng the Postal wished to shift

the railroad was willing but the
