dered to the police:s
This dogs owner-iook and see
that this instrument of torture of
yours is bent out of shape. A leather
one with harness on the body would
be more humane. One who is sorry
for poor dog"

RUBBERNECK COMPANIES
In A FIERCE RATE WAR

Right now in San Francisco you
can sigh tsee the city and a rate war
ct the same time for the small sum
OF 25 cents Rival companies operat-
ing the "rubberneck wagons" have
cut down the price for a. two hours
and half trip from 81 to one-quarter
that amount 1t all began last Tues
day when two concerns cut the rate
jn half.
The Pacific Sightseeing company,
4he larger of the concerns, refused to
lower its prices. and as a result the
Golden State Observation company
and Maurice Eppinger got most of the
business from the ferry. Then on
Saturday the Pacific company -came
back" and chopped 10 cents off this
price, and yesterday reduced the 40
cent rate to 25 cents. with view to
forcing the rivals back to the 81
standard.
The manager of the Golden State
company says he has no intention OF
going back to the old rate, as so cents
seems to allow a profit.
