Sacramento, Jan. 13.-Hundreds of
men are battling i'm the snow-choked
passes of the Sierras in an effort to
keep the railroad lines clear and bring
relief to the stalled overland passen-
ger and mail trains All the gigan-
tic resources of the Southern Pacific
and Western Pacific railway compan-

tonight in fighting the worst snow

OTHER PROPOSED LAWS.

Sacramento, Jan. 13.-With the ad-
ministration railroad bill introduced
in both houses, with a series of
twcnty-six bills to revise the civil
and criminal procedure and with 9TH
er measures offered relating to en-
ployers' liability and the protection of
workmen. legislative business got
fairly underway at Sacramento to-
day. The streams Of bills introduced
in the two houses are thinning some
what and the beginning of the return
of bills from committees, and other
business is coming before the legis-
lators but there still is a vast num-
Der of laws on their way to the
desks of the presiding officers.
An important insurance bill was in
troduced in the senate by Senator
Roseberry. 1t is drawn to give mu-
tual fire insurance companies un-
questioned legal standing and pro-
vides for the organization Of such
bodies.

there is "A surplus of $4,000. Com
panies with assets of 100000 or
more. and $4,000 surplus may limit

greater power over railroads of all
sorts than is conferred by any state
law known here To be in existence,
was introduced in both branches Of
the legislature as an administration
measure, today Little doubt exists
at present that it will be passed
without substantial amendment. No
great opposition is at present eX-
pcctcd. The belief is equally strong
that il will be tested at every point
in the courts.
The bill confers additional powers
upon the railroad commission estab-
lished under the constitution of Cal
ifornia. already in existence Among
the provisions are: Power to estab
lish on the initiative Of the commits
sion actual moving frcight and pas
scnger transportation rates. At pres
ent the commission may fix max
imum rates. Discrimination in rates
is provided against.
With some unimpOrtant exceptions
the issuance of passes or free trans
portation is prohibited, this being
considered one form OF discrimina
ton. Power is given To classify
freight. establish all through, and
prescribe joint rates and the division
thereof and apportionment of costs
of construction; the right 10 install
system of bookkeeping and ac-
counting for all roads; free access at
any time to all records; power to
make a physical valuation Of. rail-
road property including the wages
and salaries of employees, the cost of
maintenance and construction.
No appeal from the commissions
decisions is provided, although 1t is
understood that any man or corpora
ton can make an appeal as d consu-
tutional right. against the law or
rulings which he holds to be con-
fiscatory.
A message from Governor Johnson
followed the bill. 1t cited instances
of existing railroad rates of which
the message said that no other dem
onstration was necessary in behalf of
any measure designed to afford the
people of the state of California ade-
quate relief from the eXtortion of
transportation companies.
The instances given are both for
various points within the state and
for like distances in other states, in
Guiding Kansas. Nebraska, Minnesota,
Illinois and Iowa, and at the end the
governor declares that instances of
the character herein set forth could
be multiplied indefinitely

the principle of direct legislation on
which il appears that most of the re-

Such carelessness and negligence had
Of course been expected, but it was not
expected that great harm would come
Of il: that those who had not studied
the laws would either vote no or re-
frain from voting on measures which
they did not understand. But the con-
trary had generally happened. The
voter if he has no idea of the mean
ing of a measure votes yes on the
theory that if - turns out to be bad
law the people will rise and repeal IT.
As a result a very large majority of all
the proposed measures, good and bad,
have become laws.
The exceptions have been in the
cases Of measures in which the people
of the whole state were generally in
terested: such measures are studied
and if they are bad measures, they are
generally defeated. But much bad
legislation has been enacted because
voters did not take the time To inspect

feated owing to the activity of some

MOTHERS INFLUENCE.

"The influence of fond mother has
saved souls in the forming of charac-
ter and the memory of her and happy
home has always exercised restrain
ing power upon the passions of man"
says a writer in the Catholic Herald.
Mother love has two elements: sacri-
flee and devotedness. The duties of
the Christian mother are solemn. She
was free in entering into the compact,
but once entered upon her course she
became a power for the full force OF
the natural law and it's consequent OBJ
legations for the good of the race and
once entered upon her course she be-
came a power for the full force of the
natural law and it's consequent obi
cations for the good of the race and
the preservation of public order. The
mother is the great priestess of the
natural order, her altar being the fam
lily fireside. While her husband is
busy with the affairs of the world, into
her hands is committed the care of an
immortal soul, the most precious treas
ure ever fashioned by the hand OF
God"

A PLEA FOR HoPEFuLNEss.

Hopefulness is true sign of great
ness. 1t means a conviction that we
are greater than our troubles, greater
than the world itself, greater than
death, and can hold our own whenever
it comes, in the universe anywhere and
through all eternity. Such conviction
makes a man god 1t is better than
riches or high position. 1t makes a
poor, man king. A person who con-
stantly fears or worries is practically
an atheist He has no faith in himself
or any other being. He does not usu-
ally live long. Worry kills more than
whisky; it really hardens the arteries.
No man has right to kill his friends
by sad, morose countenance. A long
face is a mask of religion. 1t is out of
date just now and forever. Sour look
ing people should be shut up in jail;
they are dangerous. 1t is good thing
to throw back your shoulders, walk
erect, and believe that you own the
whole city. You do own it as really as
anyone else, and you feel better for the
belief Most of our troubles are fear
for the future, only "bogies" which
disappear when you walk up to them.
There is good time coming. 1t is
here already, if we only knew it.

AN ALL-RoUND GIRL.

f S i
That is what every girl should aim
to be, an all-around girl. Some OF
the most brilliant and lovable among
your friends, probably do not deserve
that title. There is Phyllis, who is so
talented in her music, but, who, if she
had to get her own breakfast and din
ner would be likely to starve to death.
There is Rachel, who is splendid
housekeeper, and takes deserved pride
in her bread and pies, but If the con-
versation turns on literature, or the
events of the day, looks so patheti-
cally blank. And here is still another
girl who leads her class in school,
and yet goes about with the most
shabby, down-at-the-heel appearance
imaginable, simply because she will
not take the time to make herself look
attractive.
The girl you want to be is the all.
around girl, the girl who is pleasing
to look at, who does not spend the
best of her thoughts on her dress, the
girl who can cultivate the ornamental
gifts without neglecting those which
are practical, the girl who cultivates
her brains, and keeps her hands busy
at the same time. What a splendid
thing it is to be an all-around girl!

really am. I think I've lived long
enough. Children are all very well in
their way, but want to see what's
going on in the big world, or at any
rate in the garden"
That was what Rover, the fox ter
rier, thought, one fine day, not long
ago. So, watching his opportunity, he
scampered out into the garden, and
oh, he had glorious time!
First he scratched all around the
rose bushes, then scampered across
the beds where the quiet little lilies
If the valley were practicing the tune
they meant to play when the west
wind came past, and finally he found
a wonderful treasure!
How he barked with delight, and
scampered round and round it, before
going quite close up to examine the
wonderful thing he had found!
In fact, he made such noise with
his excited bark that his little mis-
tress and her governess ran out to
see what was the matter.
But by that time Rover had made
up his mind to carry on his inquiries,
and, after much shifting and barking,
he made a dive through the great and
glorious thing he had discovered.
ooh, Rover" laughed his mistress,
do stand still minute, there's a
good little doggie!' And Rover looked
up in establishment while she dashed
into the house and returned with a
funny little black box in her hand.
Nov what on earth has she got
there?" he thought to himself 1T
looks rather interesting"
And Rover almost forgot his own
newly discovered treasure in his anx-
iety to try and make out what his mis-
tress had found.
"She seems pleased, too he
thought, Il suppose even humans get
excited sometimes, just as dogs do"
And he looked up at his mistress
in most knowing way, as much as
to say: Il quite understand, dear
little mistress we're both excited
over our treasure, aren't we?'
Presently, Snap he heard, and
I've got him at last" his mistress
cried. He looks a perfect little dar-
ling standing up with his paws in that
old shoe! Doesn't he, Miss Brown? ?"
And then, to his disgust, Rover
found that he'd been photographed.
He'd been so excited over scratching
his way into the torn old shoe that
he'd quite forgotten all about his mis-
tress' love for trying to photograph
him.
And to think I've been caught at
last, after escaping every time she's
