TO REDUCE GRAIN RATES.
Railroad Commissioner La Rue
Has His Little Knife
Out.
FARMERS MAY GET JUSTICE.
Action on the Resolution Intro
duced Has Been Postponed
Two Weeks.
The Railroad Commissioners have drawn
their official knives against Southern Pa- j
cine rates in general— grain rates in par- |
ticular. The big corporation in conse
quence is face to face with a new and
perplexing condition, and the heads of the
different departments are preparing to lie j
awake for nights to come to think it out. |
Never before in the history of California I
has a Railroad Commission been bold i
enough to openly challenge the "octopus" i
to combat, and more to the purpose, from j
the farmers' point of view, never has a
Railroad Commission been better pre
pared to win its ground.
Ever since the election the farmers of
the State have been importuning the Com
missioners to carry out their ante-election
pledges; and ever since the election those
same Commissioners have done nothine in j
the matter except to say that they would
see that the reductions were made. Yes- '
terday the time for promises was fully
rounded out and the time for action had
apparently arrived. Commissioner La
Rue look the initiative in the matter, and
received what appeared to be hearty sec
onds from Commissioners Stanton and
Clarke.
The rooms of the commission in the
Chronicle building were pretty well ;
crowded when the meeting was called to J
order at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The j
three Commissioners were in their places
and the remainderpf the space was occu
pied by the portly figures of railroad men.
Southern Pacific Attorney John C. Martin
was there, flanked by General Freight
Agent Smurr and Mr. Curtis, assistant to '
the general manager. Then there was
Captain John H. Roberts of the Sacra
mento Transportation Company and a
number of less prominent employes of Mr. i
Huntington. On each face was a look of
expectancy and every shoulder was well
set in to withstand the shock fully ex
pected to come from the Railroad Commis
sioners. The anxious railroaders did not
have to wait long. The blow came within
a minute aft*»r the session was called to
order, when Commissioner La Rue offered
the following resolutions, which wer« read
by Secretary Newman :
Wheriar, The Southern Pacific Company
did, during the year 1894, assure the people
that material reductions in rates for the trans
portation of grain would be made over tiuir
Pacific system in California; and whereas, in
accordance therewith it did, on the 29th day
of December, 1894, adopt, publish and put into ;
effect a schedule of rates on grain, known and '■
designated as grain tariff No. 2, wherein many
redaction were made between the various j
stations in the grain-producing sections and j
points of delivery; said reduced rates not be- j
ing general, but applying to certain sections of j
the State only, the reductions so made varying |
from four (4) per cent to twenty (20) per
oent, or thereabouts, while in many lo
calities no reduction whatever was made,
and in other sections where no grain is
produced for shipment and but little
transported by tbe railroads the rates
were very materially reduced, varying from
thirty (30) cent* to three dollars ($3) per ton;
and whereas, the reductions noted are inade
quate and do not afford the relief required and
necessary to enable the producer to put his
grain in the market at a reasonable rate, is the
rates now charged are exorbitant, excessive and
greater than the producer can afford to pay,
the cost of transportation being greater than
the traffic will bear; and whereas, owing to
the general depression in all kinds of business
and to the very unremunerative prices received
ty the producer for all kinds of cereal products,
the rates for transporting to market or ship
ping points should be reduced to the very
lowest possible figure that will afford the car
rier a reasonable and just compensation for
euch service ; now, therefore, be it
Maolved, That grain tariff No. 2, adopted,
published and put into effect December 29,
1894 by the Southern Pacific Company, with
all subsequent amendments thereto, applying
on straight or mixed carloads of grain, bran,
shorts, middlings, feed, ground, cracked oi
rolled barley.and cracked corn in sacks be
tween San 'Francisco, Oakland wharf, Port
Costa, Nevada dock, Benicia, Souch Nallejo,
Stockton, Saoramento, Marysvillc, Los Angeles,
Port Los Angeles and San Pedro, and stations
on the Southern Pacific Company's Pacific sys
tem named therein, and being in the State of
California, be and the same is hereby amended
as follows:
A general reduction from the present rates of
fifteen (15) per cent of each and every rate
charged between any and all points or stations
named in said tariff or schedule is hereby
made except that between the following-named
stations and all points named in said tariff or
schedule, the rate shall be reduced twenty (20)
percent from present rates, to wit: Lincoln,
Ewing, Sheridan, Wheatlaud, Keeds.-Kupert,
Marysville, Raminez, Coombs, Honcut. Pa

som. White Rock, Cothrins, Latrobe, Flonellis,
Bryant, Brandon, Dugan, Bennett, Shingle
Springs, Cummins, El Dorado, Diamond
Springs and Placerville. and said rates so
amenaed, established and adopted shall be the
maximum rates allowed to be charged on said
Southern Pacific Company's Pacific system in
California.
Now. therefore, in pursuance of an act to
organize and define the powers of the Board of
Railroad Commissioners (section 11, chapter
59, statutes of 1880), and the rules of the com
mission:
It Is accordingly ordered that a certified
copy of the resolution and order adopting the
amended schedule be served by the secretary
of this commission upon the Southern Pacific
Company; and in case said company shall pre
fer, for its own convenience, and to simplify
the duties of all concerned, to make its own
copies of such amended schedule, and
shall consent to put the seme in opera
tion within ' twenty (20) days from ; and
after the service •of said order, and in
accordance therewith, it may. do so with
out further preliminary, process or proceeding
to enforce the same. Provided said company,
or its general manager, shall, within three (3)
days from and after the service of said order,
acknowledge the service of said amended
schedule by printed copy, expressly waiving
all other service or notice thereof in writing,
addressed to said commission and to be filed
and remain of record in the office of said com
mission.
And it is further ordered that if such
acknowledgement and waiver as aforesaid shall
not be filed in said Commissioners' office with
in three (3) days from and after the service of
such order, as aforesaid, then and in that event
said secretary shall immediately proceed to
print such schedule and order, and to serve
printed copies on the said Southern Pacific
Company and shall keep a record of his action
in the minutes of said commission.
Attorney Martin was on his feet in a
moment.
"I would offer a suggestion," he said,
"that the Commissioners do not vote upon
this matter at once, as the company would
like some time to consider the schedule."
He stated further that the company had
already made heavy reductions and he was
afraid "that the one now proposed would
prove ruinous. It would take some time
for him to look carefully into the resolu
tion in order that he might be prepared to
make an argument if one was necessary.
Captain J. H. Roberts of the Sacramento
Transportation Company, which runs boats
on the river, made an out-and-o'.it protest
against the resolution. Its adoption would
drive his company off the river. His com
pany was in competition with the railroad
j company in the transportation of grain,
I and had already suffered somewhat from
the reductions already made, and if the
proposed further reduction went into effect
his company would be compelled to go
out of business and sell its boats.
"If we do not make reductions," said
Mr. La Rue when Captain Roberts had
finished, "we will ruin the farmers."
"I can't help that," replied Captain
j Roberts, "that is their lookout. We have
I put our money into a big plant and we
ought to be allowed to live."
"So ought the farmers," rejoined tbe
chairman. "They are the men who pro
duce the grain and give you business. If
we grind them down they will not be able
I to produce any more grain for you to
haul."
"Let them keep their grain and cook it,"
retorted Captain Roberts. "Let them
make coffee out of it."
The captain then stated that it might be
well for the members of tne commission
to post themselves up in the matter, and
for that purpose he offered to take them
on an excursion up the river on one of his
boats so that they could see conditions as
he said they existed.
"Now," said Commissioner La Rue, "the
railroad people will tell you that they are
the ones we are after. But I will say that
we do not want to injure any business, but
my impression is that the rates are too
high."
"1 would like to know," said Commis
sioner Stanton, who had remained silent
up to this time, "upon wha.t basis this 15
I per cent reduction is made. If that is a
! proper reduction it should be made, but it
I may be that a greater reduction would be
i possible; and it maybe that that reduction
| in the face of other reductions made dur
j ing the pa t year would be excessive. I
am prepared to vote for a proper reduction,
but? I woulJ like to be thoroughly satisfied
that the reduction is proper.
"As I said before," replied Commis
sioner La Rue, "I am pretty well ac
quainted with the topography of the coun
try and I have been a shipper of grain ever
since the first grain was grown in Cali
fornia by white people. Now the railroad
company, when it first made its rates, was
supposed to make them equable in all
parts of the State. The rates fixed by the
company have been high and of its own
volition it has reduced these rates from time
to time. But in looking very carefully
over the reductions made in the schedule
of December 29 last I am satisfied that in
the large grain -growing sections, take the
Fresno country and down that way, the
rates are at present too high.'*
Mr. La Rue then read from the schedule
of December 29 to show that what he had
stated was true and then he read a num
ber of rates quoted in the United States
agricultural reports to show that Eastern
roads hauled grain much further for less
money than did the Southern Pacific.
"I believe," he continued, referring to
the schedule of December 29, "that these
charges are higher than in any other
place; that they are more than is war
ranted, and that they ought to be reduced
on that account— not to say anything from
the standpoint of the financial condition of
the country. I am of the opinion that,
taking the climatic conditions, the topog
raphy of the country and the easy trans
portation of the products of the soil to
tidewater and shipping points, the grain
can be transported for 15 per cent less than
present rates."
"Do you think it is possible to make a
further reduction?" asked Commissioner
Stanton.
"It might be possible," was the reply,
"and it might not. 1 believe that is a
reasonable reduction and that they (the
Southern Pacific) can afford to carry it for
this amount less."
Commissioner Clarke, who had been
silent up to this time, stated that he would
favor reductions if they were just, but was
hardly prepared to act hastily. He there
fore moved for a postponement for further
consideration. Mr. Stanton was of the
opinion that the matter should be taken
up as early as possible.
""Mr. Chairman," he said, "I would like
to ask you one question in making this
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1895.
I reduction. Did you take into considera
tion the reasons that Captain Roberts ad
j vanced against the reduction of rates in
! reference to river steamboats?"
"While I have the greatest admiration
for Captain Roberts," replied Mr. La Rue,
I "I will guarantee that if the reduction
goes into effect we will find him and his
boats on the river just the same. They
can carry grain a good deal cheaper by
water than by rail, and if the railroad can
afford it the steamers can."
"The reason I spoke," said Dr. Stan ton,
"is that if this is a proper reduction I
shall vote for it, but before voting for a re
| duction I would like to be satisfied that it
is a proper one; and for that reason I
think we should go into a thorough inves-
I tigation of it. I think that if we are going
I into the matter honestly and intelligently
it is our duty to hear both sides of the
case and get their reasons for and against
a reduction."
Mr. La Rue stated that he had no doubt
the reductions should be made. He had
studied the question very thoroughly and
was sure of his ground.
"The rate on flour," he continued,
"should also be attended to. It affects the
home of everybody, and here it costs twice
as mnch for transportation as does grain.
I will say that to the railroad men."
After a few general remarks on the mat
ter in hand, Attorney Martin asked that
the Southern Pacific and other transporta
tion companies be served with a copy of
the resolution.
"Another suggestion," said Mr. Martin,
who seemed to be full of them. "I under
stood you to say something concerning the
rates on flour— -could we not take this all
up at the one time?"
"I think so," replied Mr. La Rue, "but I
really have not given that much attention
at all."
"There is this to be said about rates,"
said Mr. Martin, "they are relative, and in
the matter of reduction, flour would be
considered as it is, a grain product. If you
will give us time we will have these mat
ters all brought up."
Commissioner Clarke asked if two
weeks' time would be sufficient, and Mr.
Martin replied that he would try to make
that do. By a vote of the commission the
matter of the resolution was then post
poned for consideration until Wednesday,
the 28th mst.
Mr. La Rue then called the attention of
Mr. Martin to the grain schedule from San
Luis Obispo to San Francisco, where from
one point between tne places the rate was
greater than for the whole distance. He
then showed him section 21 of the consti
tution and asked him if that could be done.
"The railroad contends that it can," was
the reply. "The railroad contends in these
matters this only applies to service and
transportation."
This matter being disposed of several
communications were read, among them
one from General Freight Agent Smurr of
the Southern Pacific concerning freight
and passenger charges on the Lodi branch,
between Woodbridge and Valley Springs,
the subject of a complaint made by Fred
Hutchins of Woodbridge. The latter had
made particular complaint concerning the
charge for hauling wood. In its commu
nication tbe company stated it had come
to the conclusion to refix the rate so as to
mate it practically $1 50 a cord for a dis
tance of twenty miles.
Mr. Clarke moved that this schedule be
approved. A vote was about to be taken
when Dr. Stanton objected to voting at
present, as he wanted the matter further
investigated, thinking that this should go
over with the other matters. It was so or
dered and the meeting adjourned.
SCIENTIFIC HANDBALL.
Kilgallon and Liaehan Defeat Nealon
and Bonnet.
The Occidental handball court was
crowded last night, and there was an un
usually large turnout of ladies. The at
traction was a match between J. C. Nealon
and T. F. Bonnet and M. J. Kilgallon and
JR. Linehan.
Nealon has been absent from the court
for several week 9 through sickness and
business. When he appeared in the alley
he received a perfect ovation, the crowd
rising and giving three cheers for the
popular veteran player.
The match was won by Kilgallon and
Linehan in three straight games. Nealon
was out of practice, which accounted in a
measure for the result, which was as
follows :
Kiigallon and Linehan 21 21 21
Nealon and Bonnet 17 17 19
Another interesting match was played
between P. F. McCormick and W. Jacobs
and C. J. McGlynn and D. M. Stanley.
McCormick and the youngster won easily
by the score :
McCormick and Jacobs 31 14 21
McGlynn and Stanley 421 3
Spring Valley Alumni.
The first meeting of the Alumni Association
of the Spring Valley Grammar School was held
last evening at the Hotel Savoy. The officers
elected were as follows: President, William
Leahy; vice-president, Miss Evans: secretary,
William A. Day; treasurer, M. C. Curtin. In
teresting addresses were made by M. C. Curtin
and Norbert Babin. The association starts out
with good prospects.
Alfred Clarke a Defendant.
Suit against Alfred Clarke and J. F. Turner
to recover $7000 has been instituted in the
Superior Court by J. Bertz. Turner is the man
that Clarke charged with swindling him, and
the indebtedness is on promissory notes.

Prominent San Jose Men De

Scheme.
ON THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.
Two of Their Party Died of Fever
In Pursuit of the Delusive
Bubble.
J. H. Farthing, Mark Mentor and Henry
T. Welsh returned on the steamer Colon,
from Panama, and brought back very de
pressing news of their enterprise and ex
perience on the pestilential shores of the
Atlantic, eighty miles north of Colon.
They were glad to get back again to
California, in fact to be alive and well, al
though it will take some time for Mentor
and Welsh to recover from Panama fever
and the dire effects of miasma after a
month's stay on the isthmus. Two of :
their party, G. H. Farthing and Thomaß j
Cooke, were left behind, and they lie in
lonely graves where the Atlantic rolls in
upon the black sands that were supposed
to hold gold in marvelous abundance. But
there was no gold in these same sands, not
even "a color," save in sporadic traces,
and this contains the burden of the trav
elers' story.
The party, consisting of well-known men
in San Jose, was made up in that city to
develop new gold fields on the eastern side
of the isthmus. A man named Burkhardt
of Laramie, Wyo., who had been down
there, came back to California with a de
scription of the place so glowing and excit
able that he soon found enterprising men
to work the alleged mines Visions of un
told wealth floated before them, and rely
ing on Burkhardt's story they invested
several thousand dollars in amalgamators,
in an outfit and incidental machinery, and
then started off for the new El Dorado.
Thomas Cooke and G. H. Farthing w«e
the first to leave. A month later the other
three left San Francisco to join them on
the Veragua Kiver, eighty miles north of
Colon, where the mine had been located
by Burkhardt.
'"When we got there," said J. H. Farth
ing last night, "we found the two young
men had died. They drank from the
Veragua River, and that in itself was
enough to till them.
"We set to work, got the machinery off
the sloop, which carried it from Colon, and
erected our plant as fast as we could, being
anxious to begin mining without delay.
"Well, we tested the black sand and, to
our surprise, found it did not pan out more
than 50 cents to $1 a ton. It was a fraud,
and only then we saw that we had been
duped. That was hard to bear after a
working test of a sample from the sup
posed mine had given $26 33 a ton in San
Francisco. We learned also from the
natives that Burkhardt had panned and
washed the black sand until it got that
much gold in it before taking samples
here.
"Burkhardt had been a surveyor down
on the isthmus and played us on the mine.
From what I heard down there he thought
the boys would die and we would grow
discouraged and abandon the valuable
machinery, in which case he would get
hold of it later on and use it to test the
gravel and black sand of the Antigua
mine, which is two miles up the river and
one mile back in the foothills, and is very
rich.
"The Antigua mine was worked by the
first Spaniards on the isthmus, but their
crude methods could not make it pay,
though it yielded fully $60 Jo $80 a ton.
There was no owner to claim it when I
was there. The natives used to wash out
a pan of 25 or 30 cents and then leave it,
having been satisfied with their bananas
and wild animals to support life. So I
filed a claim on it and took particular
pains to let Mr. Burkhardt know that.
Then he left Colon immediately for New
York. He saw it was hopeless to think of
getting the mining plant and quit.
"I intend to return there in time to re
ceive my claim from the Government, and
will then work the Antigua mine.
Meanwhile the machinery is there on the
coast, at the mouth of the Veragua River,
in care of a Mr. Ginell, who owns the sloop
trading at that point.
"How did we avoid the fever? We drank
boiled water entirely and watched our
food carefully, but even then Mentor and
Welsh got sick. Welsh was very ill when
he was taken off the boat, and it will take
him a good while to get well again. Still,
we all are happy to be here with our
lives."
LORING CLUB CONCERT.
A Programme of Special Interest Prom
ised at Odd Fellows'
Hall.
The Loring Club will give the first con
cert of its nineteenth season at Odd Fel
lows' Hall on the 22d inst. Tickets by in
vitation will be issued. Three more
concerts will follow during the year. A
programme of the numbers has been se
lected.
The club will be assisted by the follow
ing musicians and vocalists:
Miss Beatrice Priest, soprano; Mrs. Car
michael Carr, accompanist and pianist;
Sigmund Beel, violinist, and Louis Heine,
'cello.
This organization is composed of sixty
male voices and is supported by subscrip
tions. Its originator and until now musi
cal conductor, D. W. Loring, has lately
severed his connection with the club to
look after interests in Japan. D. P. Hughes
is the present conductor; William ALvord,
president; C. F. Crocker, vice-president;
W. C. Stadtfeldt, secretary, and W. A.
Murison, treasurer.
Complains of the Bureau.
Florence Hawson has sent a letter to The
Call in which she states that while at the Free
Labor Bureau one day this week she heard a
clerk reading from the confidential question
blanks that had been filled out by men apply
ing for positions. Miss Hawson says that this
act on tne part of the clerk is in violation of
the rules that are supposed to govern the em
ployes of the Free Labor Bureau.
