SAN FRANCISCO. April 20. — Con
struction work on the San Joaquin val
ley rairnad is progressing so rapidly that
the directors expect the new line to be
in operation As far as Merced on May
"list next. ,„ „
The question the directors will decide
■ at their meetjlng tomorraw of| Within
the next week or two is whether or no'
they shall put on freight and passenger
trains from Stockton to Merced. Soce
of the directors do not think It advisable
to establish any regular train service
until the line has been completed to
Fresno. That will be next August.
Othet- directors favor a freight service
to Merced as soon as the line from
Stockton reaches that point. None of
the directors, however, favor a passen
ger service until chnetttloU shall have
Been made with Fresno. These differ
ences Of opinion in the directorate have
been referred to Tralfle Manager Moss
for a final decision on his return from
his present trip through the valley.
It Is said that Mr. Moss is hot In favor
Of putting on passenger trains until
Fresno Is reached. He favors moving
freight trains between Stockton and
Sercefl as soon us the road shall ent»r
the latter city. In discussing rates to
day Vice-President Watt said:
'•Our stock-pool agreement provides
that rates shall not be-.my higher than
tn yield 6 per cent annually on the cash
stock subscriptions ot 12,444.150. after
paying current expenses, I think this
arrangement insures low trnttic. The
Valley line will represent an honest
financial outlay, both as to the cost of
Its construction and equipment. It will
not have any bond or stock inflation,
and. therefore, will be in a position to
fulfill the expectation of the public of
givin (reasonable rates and still make
an honest return mi the investment. 1
am not in a position now to say what
rates w ill be made. We have employed
Mr. Moss to p •-.«« is t us in performing that
interesting duty. He is now gathering
data for that purpose. After we have
made our rales the Southern Pacific
may see tit to cut under our tariffs and
make up what it may lose in lighting us
W other parts of the state.
"All I can say is that if It declares n
rate war nn us v c will meet its.figures
and be in a position to hold nil rown
against It."
A CASE DECIDED. ~
Washington, Apm 20. — Justice
Brown delivered the opinion nf the su
preme court today in the ease ot" tho
Central Pacific Railway company vs.
the State of l>"evada. involving the right
of the state to tax the lands of the rail
road company.
The state courts held that the state
was entitled to levy taxes Upon patented
lands and also for lands which had not
been patented, but which had been sur
veyed and on which the cost of survey
ing had not been paid.
Judge Brown's opinion affirms this de
cision. "If," he said, "the railroads had
a possessory claim to the lands, they are
taxable under the statute of Nevada."
The cases involving the Mormon
church property .Which was confiscated
under the Edmunds act. were sent back
supreme court of i'tah for final
ISfiKLJ 11 tonro rmity with the Joint
resrlfe(t(ib«sV.«(; congress approved March
2Uth last. rehfoV-Ing this property to the
church. The decision njf.WiKrjourt beloW
was reversed for thistMnNtftl
si'tro wibe LobBY, too.
