THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL: yTCEDNESPAY, DECEMBER 11, 1907^
Gossip of the Railroads
"I am not a superstitious man, as
all my friends know," remarked "W. A.
Bissell, assistant traffic manager of the
Santa Fe. yesterday, "for it is a fact
that I wilrsit' down to "dinner with
13 at the table, have been known to
catch 13 fish, have been seen ; : walking
under a ladder,,- occasionally; leave on
Friday for a distant journey, and*never
fear the thirteenth of the month. -
"And y.et,".he..added;with a smile, "I
have always had a superstitious feel
ing about the southeast of Cali
fornia and Montgomery streets, where
the California safe deposit and trust
company has its bank- Do you know
the worst failure that ever "occurred
in California was of a bank located on
the site of the bank which is now In
trouble?
"The institution of which I speak
was operated by^J. M. Duncan- in the
seventies and Its suspension brought
distress into many households. ;. I shall
never forget that failure," and strange,
is it not, that particular corner has
since then been a pet aversion of mine,
though I was not Interested In Dun
can's bank and was not. financially In
jured 'by It closing Its doors."
George "W. Colby of the Great North
ern, In speaking of the Portland and
Seattle railroad, which has been built
by James J. Hill, said:. ,
"This will, be the short line to Port
land, which is rapidly approaching
completion and will enter .Portland
proper when the immense bridge across
the Willamette river Is finished at St
Johns. This road will give the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific a
short water grade outlet to seaport and
will greatly strengthen the position of
the Hill lines in Portland. At the pres
ent time the Great Northern trafllc for
Portland is . turned over to the Oregon
railroad and navigation company, which
is part of the Harriman system, at
Spokane, but the new route will enable
Hill to handle traffic originating In his
territory entirely over his roads with
out giving up . a portion of his earn
ings to a rival company. It is under
stood that Hill contemplates building
large warehouses and depots and other
shipping facilities at Vancouver,
\u25a0Wash." :i
W. R. Alberger, trafl&c manager of
the Tonopah and Tidewater railway, is
In the city from Los Angeles — and
speaks in glowing terms of what the
"short line to Nevada" is doing from its
junction with the Santa Fe at Ludlow.
According to Alberger a Pullman
crowded with people for the! mines
leaves Los Angeles every day and fur
ther that the sleeper leaves . Nevada
with every berth taken. There is
plenty of freight moving Into the silver
state, and he asserts his line is making
considerable money out of- the traffic
from the southern part of the state. *
E. M. Pomeroy of the Pennsylvania
lines has returned from his trip east
and declares that he met a great num
ber of optimistically Inclined persons
who assured him that there would be a
change for the better, speaking from
a financial standpoint, in the spring.
Pomeroy finds it a relief to be here
where people are cheerful and not busy
casting gloomy prognostications of how
terrible it is going to be.
"I was so depressed all the time that
I was in the east,'? he remarked, "that
I never laughed once, but had to look
as if I were about to attend a funeral
In order to escape the Imputation that
I was frivolous and flippant."
The time service 'on freight, both
east and west bound, shows a decide.l
Improvement during . the last- two
weeks, and . westbound business that
has been taking 25, t0 30 days Is now
arriving In half - that time, and
in consequence the overland lines "are
restoring their through service in |1 ess
than carload lots. The Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul now runs a daily
car from Chicago to San Francieco,
which has met with «. "decided success,
as in the case of delayed shipments
the merchant finds he has' less difficulty
in tracing a full carload Instead of
wondering in which of a number of
cars the shipment may be. A factor in
this merchandise transportation busi
ness is that the Pacific coast lines. use
every effort to expedite the return of
refrigerator cars, and it Is by the em
ployment of these cars that the time
service Is improved. .
C. H. Phillips, district freight and
passenger agent of the El Paso and
Southwestern in Los Angeles, was mar
ried yesterday to Miss Alma Busser at
the home of her parents at Berkeley.
Her father has charge of all the libra
ries and reading rooms of the Santa
Fe west of Albuquerque.
E. V. GUlett, traffic manager of the
Las Vegas and Tonopah railroad, with
headquarters in Los Angeles, is in Los
Angeles. <tj "' \u0084 '
T. C. Peck, general passenger agent
of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and. Salt
Lake road, Is In the city.
A railroad man who has returned
from Santa Rosa finds . that the hop
crop is moving much more freely. The
financial situation has not affected So
noma- county very much and the eastern
prices are distinctly higher. Cars are
more plentiful, and -with > the arrival of
the wet weather that was badly needed
the general situation shows a decided
Improvement. There are still about 60
cars of last season's crop and nearly
350 cars of this season's crop Ito { go
forward. It is figured that the entire
balance will be moved in about 60, days.
Serious alarm is felt about the con
dition of Andrew, Stewart of the Alton,
who was hurt last Thursday on^a Fill
more street car. f His physicians forbid
any. one seeing' him, as he is in such a
nervous condition that the slightest ex
citement might prevent his recovery.
J. Downey Harvey, president -of the
Ocean Shore railroad, reports that .the
tunnel at milestone 46 has been com
pleted. It is built for, double tracks, is
28 feet wide, 23 feet high and 340 feet
long. The Ocean Shore line is doing a
big passenger business and promises to
be one of the most popular local lines
in the state. :
W. B. Storey, chief engineer of the
Santa Fe, spent Sundajrand Monday, in
San Francisco and vicinity making ah
inspection of the company's \u25a0 properties.

LOVELAND SAYS HE WILL
NOT HARASS RAILROADS
New Commissioner Declares
He Has No Intention of
Being a Demagogue
WILSON'S SUCCESSOR
Takes Boodler's Place and
Makes Speech, Decrying
.Violent Action
Colonel H. D. Loveland took his seat
at the meeting of the hoard of railroad
commissioners yesterday". He succeeds
Andrew Wilson, who was removed by
the governor because of his connection
with the graft scandals. Loveland made
a short speech at the close of the meet
ing, In which he said: .
"I want my position to be- distinctly
defined. There is no- intention on- my
part . of. Splaying . the demagogue and
fighting the transportation companies
without rhyme or reason. I think we
can be fair to the carrier as well as to
the public without being violent in our
treatment. I have listened to the read
ing of the records of the last meet
ing and I can say thatyou were fair
In your decisions. My business has
brought me into contact with all kinds
of railroadmen and I am familiar- with
rates to a certain extent. *
"There is one thing which I wish to
bring to your attention.- The constitu
tion provides that we take action In
several ways, such as the publication
of rates, examination of the books of
railroad companies and bringing them
to task If they have not obeyed the
laws. This is all well and good, but
there is no appropriation v for these
duties, and we should bring up the
matter at the next session* of the legis
lature."
Letters were read asking for maps
from various people and It was brought
to the attention of the new commis
sioner that there was no appropriation
for the making of them, but the com
mission had to rely on the generosity of
the Promotion committee.
\u25a0A. communication was | also read
from the builders of the road running
from Pitt river to Delmar, Shasta
county, a distance of 16 miles, asking
for a schedule of rates and rules. The
commission informed the owners of the
Sacramento Valley and Eastern rail
way to put. rates in effect and If com
plaints were made it would take action.
J. W. Fanshier of Imperial wanted
the commission to deal summarily with
the Southern Pacific for not selling him
a second class ticket on a first class
train. Fanshier says .he asked the
agent at San Jose for a second class
ticket on train 22 and was told that
the train did not carry second class pas
sengers. Fanshier says that it should.
The commission sides with the Southern
Pacific and It is not likely that the com
plainant will obtain the rebate he asks
for.
The E. Culver lumber company is now
satisfied that it was in error when it
billed a . carload of lumber from San
Pedro to Pasadena and' that according
to the manner of its billing the South
ern Pacific agent had to charge the sum
of the two -local rates, which was
greater than the through rates. Presi
dent A. C. Irwin's decision on the ques
tion met the approval of Commissioners
Loveland and Suramerland.
TESTIFY YOELL WAS SAKE
Half a dozen witnesses testified in
Judge Graham's court yesterday that
James Alexander" Yoell, whose will is
being contested, by the children of his
second wife, was of perfectly sound
mind. Those j who . gave evidence were
Mrs. Hettie Theobald, one of the pro
ponents of the will and daughter by
the. first wife; George Theobald, her
husband; Charles T. Levy, husband of
Emily Levy, the chief proponent; H. W.
