SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2l-Ihe

approve the offer of the railroads in
interstate business to extend the

the ground that the carriers pro-
pose to exclude large part OF the

from the reduction. This territory
according to the commission extends
from San Francisco north to Manton'
near Chico, thence to Roseyille and
to Santa Rosa. thence south to Fire
baugh and Berenda in the San Joa-
ouin valley, thence southwest to Sa-
linas.
