16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1896 AN OCTBPUS OVER THE FRONTIER The Canadian Pacific a Menace to American Roads. TAKING BUSINESS AWAY What Is Lost to California by | the Unequal Competi- tion. SHIPMENT OF FRUIT INSTANCE | | San Franmcisco Railroad Men Are| Watching the Fight in Con- gress on Bonding. The movement started in Congress to | withdraw the bonding privilege now en- joyed by the Canadian Pacific on all freight transported between points in the United States by the Canadian Railway bas aroused considerable interest among railroad men in San Francisco. Indeed it | has been the most important subject of | conversation since Senator Elkins made a patriotic speech in the Senate about ten | days ago. The Canadian Pacific Railway is so sit- uvated that it holds the whip hand on transcontinental freight business and can carry freight almost for nothing in com- petition with the United States lines. This is obvious in view of the guarantess and subsidies from the Dominion Govern- ment. The Canadian Pacifiz is an im- perial highway, a military road, so lib erally provided for that the American roads cannot compete with it should a rate war be started. At the present time, | though a peacerul condition apparently | exists between the Canadian road and the | United States transcontinental route: by the system by courtes ferentials” the former line dictates rates to the latter, and the result is that the United States lines have to accede a differ- | ential of about 10 per cent in favor of their | northern opponent. | The direct effect of this upon the pros- perity of California is held to be very seri- ous. At least an enforced and conse- quently false condijtion confronts the | State, ! more particularly the gateway of Pacific commerce. San Francisco being | the main gateway and the center of Pa- cific Coast commerce is a bad loser in the game played by the Canadians. Probably no more forcible illustration of the un- equal struggle can be given than this one cited yesterday by a local railroad man: | The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s | steamer Walla Walla sailed for Victoria and the Puget Sound & few days ago. She had on board over 100,000 vounds of dried | fruit from San Jose consigned to St. Paul, | Minn., via the Canadian Pacific Railway. | This freight has to be transferred to the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company’s | steamer at Victoria for transportation to | Vancouver, the Pacific Coast terminus of | the Dominion railway. At Vancouver a third handling is necessary to place the | fruit on the cars, and then the circuitous route is resumed to carry the freight through Canadian territory and subse- quently into St. Paul. This one consign- ment represents the carrying capacity of five railroad cars, and anybody who has | even a slight knowledge of railroading can | appreciate what money and labor are | necessary to move five cars half way across the count All the income, with its con- sequent exchange of wealth that should | accrue from this shipment, is lost to the | United States. And as for California a | large share of the wealth-producing ele- | ment of this particular merchandise is lost; it was cut off, diverted to a foreign | nation when the freight went through the | Golden Gate. { The Canadian Pacific was able to carry | this freight and pay the expense of | handling it twice and to take it nearly double the dirsct distance of St. Paul from San Francisco at a profit. And yet the | rate, under the *‘differential” system, was | at least 10 per cent lower than the stand- | ard transcontinental tariff as arranged by the freight association. Local raiiway officials are loth to discuss | the Canadian Pacific publicly, because | they do not wish to disturb “friendly re- lations” now existing. One of them, how- ever, explained the situation auite fully. “The moment freight for Eastern cities is put into a steamer at the wharf here to | be sent by the Canadian Pacific it gives no further wealth to the State,”” said he. “Shipping goods by that route represents ap expenditure for carting to the dock and stowing on the steamer, ““Now, let us see what would be the effect if the same freight went by the United States roads. Mind you, I am not speak- ing for any one of these routes, for this affects the Southern Pacific, Central Pa- cific, Great Northern and the Northern Pacific out of San Francisco. Every mile of road this freight would pass over in California has to be keot in order at con- siderable expense. Every mile contributes toward the wealth of the State. Taxes have to be paid. And then the more busi- ness, of course, the larger will be the num- ber of men employed, all of which means the circulation of money. This keeps | things going and is good for all classes of people, but take the source of revenue away, as in the case of the Canadian Paci- fic encroachment, and the State must suffer, aad the people also. “The Canadian Pacific shows that its | route is circuitous and ratherobjectionable for transportation of American freights; it vasses through various climates and there is delay in the roundabout route. Com- vared with the American transcontinental routes this is a plausible showing, and when a differential rate is proposed by ihe Canadian line 2s just and fair the Trans- continental Association has to allow the rate. In other words, the Canadian line demands a certain differential, and always | i | | | | | | against it. | the yi | Government has bound i gets it, baving power to do as it pleases without fear of interstate difficulties. Then it is so liberally supported by the | Canadian Government it can carry freight | even lower than the present rninous rates, which don’t give a living for anybody. “This railway is rapidly absorbing the carrying business between Rastern and Pacific Coast cities of the United States, and the American roads can donothing Our lines may be classed as The Canadian is vir- So the private enterprises. tualiy a Government railroad. inequality of the roads is apparent. thing that would tend to bring s to the line is taken advantage of. The Pacific Ocean presents a vast field of vossibilities, and the Canadian company is fighting for business in the Orient, in Australia, New Zealand and Honolulu. In 1895 its tonnage of tea from the Orient | amounted to 14,000,000 pounds—2234 per cent of the total importation of iea through the Pacific Coast gateways. Then it is getting a larger share of the freight out to the Orient. Its interests are so closely associated with American in- terests on the Great Lakes the company is able to find powerful influence in W ington.” The Oregon Railway and Navi Company, the Great Northern, the North- ern Pacific and the Southern Pacific lines are all deeply interested in the question introduced by Senator Elkins in Congress looking toward the revocation of the bond- ing privilege now enjoyed by the Canadian Pacific. Senator Elkins in a recent speech in the Senate said: The Canadian Pacific Railroad is the natural enemy of the transportation interests of the BRICKS BURY TWO MEN Part of a Wall in the Old Sugar Refinery Falls Upon Them.

Allie Pomber, a pretty girlabout 19 years of age, is dying at the Receiving Hospital from carbolic-acid poisoning. Several months ago she came to the City from Castroville, Monterey County, and procured a position. as. waitress in the res- taurant 206 McAllister street. She worked there tilL Wednesday afternoon, when she was discharged. She had been living with Mrs. Hoy, at 195 Hyde street, and late yesteraay after- noon she swallowed a dose of carbolicacid., Shrieking with pain, she rushed out of her Toom into the hallway and told oneof the male roomers what she had done. He asked her what had caused her todo it, and she said she had gone to a doctor and be had told her she was in a delicate con- dition. This, coupled with the loss of her position, made her resolve to end her life. The patrol wagon was summoned and she was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where everything was done by Dr. Kitz- | gibbon to save her life. The doctor, how- ever, said that she could not recover.

It violates our interstate commerce law with complacent indifference; it cuts rates and it takes freights from our Pacific railroads, in which the United States has a direct interest. It hauls more cheaply from St. Louis and other interior points in our ccuntry, by way of Canada to Oregon and San Francisco, than the Pacific roads can do, though the distance is much shorter. ness with all the Pacific roads from and to Cal- ifornia. For 2000 miles the Canadian Pacific traverses a non-productive country, one not able to support a railroad. It lives off its sub- ventions and the business it takes from the railroads of the United States. All we have to do is simply to discontinue the bonding privilege, under which they carry goods 1n bond, starting from Vancouver to Europe and points in the United States. I would suggest that we stop every car and break every consular seal at our frontiers be- yond Chicago and the 'Soo.” This would throw the trade from Asia to S8an Francisco and pass it over the Pacific railroad lines. It would break up, in part or largely, the violation of the interstate commerce law and stop the giv- ing of rebates and the cutting of rates. rhe Dominion Government has granted the Canadian Pacific Railway a subsidy or bonus 000,000; has donated to it 25,000,000 s of land, embracing only such as ure_suit- able for settlement; has also given right of way, station grounds, dock privileges and | water frontage, in so far as within the control of the Government; and, further, has con- structed and transferred to the Canadian Pa- cific Railway Company, free of cost, 714 miles of railway, the estimated value of which, ac- cording to that railway company’s report for ar 1887, is $35,000,000. The Canadian Pecific was permitted to import steel rails free of duty, also other materials used in the con- struction of its road and telegraph line. Under its charter the Canadian Pacific is freed for all | time from taxation by the Dominion Govern- ment or by any Provincial Government estab- lished after date of its charter. Itsland grant in the Northwest Territory is free from taxa- tion for twenty years, unless sold in the mean- time. In addition to all this the Canadian elf not to permit during the term of twenty vears the building of any line or lines that would parallel the Canadian Pacific Railway. It may be true that, theoretically, the Cana- dian Pacific Railway is subject to the inter- state commerce law on interstate traffic pass- ing to or from Canada. Butitis obvious that, while the United States roads are subject to all the restraints the interstate commerce act im- poses, it is impossible for this Government to hold the Canadian Pacific Railway to an observance of the law, for the United States can have no jurisdiction over the rates charged on intermediate business picked up and laid down in Canada, which, together with the relatively small amount intercnanged be- tween points in Canada and the United States, amounts to 96 per cent of thatcompany’s entire earnings, according to & published letter from the president of that company. Tne Canadian Pacific Railway can thus make rates on through business without interfering with its earnings on traffic between Vancouver on the west and Canadian frontier points on the east, or between points ntermediste thereto. Even on business, for example, from San Francisco to Canadian points, formerly wholly enjoyed by the American roads, there are no means of knowing whether the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company obeys the law or not in this regard, for that company might take freight to Winnipeg at a higher rate than for the same class of traffic throngh Winnipeg to Chicago; but the consignee in Canads, even if he knew American law, would be very un- likely to seek or receive redress from a United States court or commission as against & Cana- dian road.

The cloud of dust was gone and they were instantly | upon the scene, tearing away the fallen mass to rescue their unfortunate com- | rades. Ina few minutes Smith ana-Len- nan were extricated from the debris and removed to the Receiving Hospital in the police patrol-wagons. Lennan’s only apparent injury was a contusion of the right leg, but he seemed | to be suffering from the shock to his sys- | tem, as he is an old man. Smith was supposed to be fatally in- | jured. Six of his ribs were fractured, his chest was crushed in, his right arm broken and his left shoulder dislocated. He was also injured internally. Dr. Thompson expressed the opinion that Smith could not live many hours. His wife was soon at his bedside and tenderly nursed him. ‘‘He has been a hard-working man all | his life,” she said, “‘and it is hard to lose | him now when times are so dull. He had | been out of work for some time and we | were thankful when he got the job on | Monday” to clean the bricks at the old sugar refinery. He is about 56 years of age. Our children are all grown up. Two of them are living with us, but the others | are married.” | Smith was not able to give any account of the accident, but Lennan said: “We | were cleaning the bricks below when the | accident happened. They were tearing | down the south wall, and I heard some one call to those above to look out for the men cleaning the bricks, and I heard them shout back that they would. A moment | later there was a crashing noise, and I was | struck by falling bricks and stunned. “I am sorry for my wife. When I left her to go to work this morning there was only a nickel in the house, and I don't know what she will do now tnat I am laid up.” The old building was the Golden Sugar | Refinery in earlier days, and was closed | for nearly twenty years. It belongs to the Luning estate, and is being torn down by 8. C. Buzzell for J. Noonan, whose store on Mission street was burned down recently. The bricks are to be used in the con- structior of a building for Noonan, and while cleaning them Smith and Lennan were 1njured.

The Building Trades Council met last even- ing and listened to the reports of the business agents. Several jobs around town were stated to have been mixed, but by the efforts of the agents were unionized. There are still a num- ber to be looxed after where the non-union men declined to afiiliate with the unions of their calling. From the general tone of the statements it is safe to say that the working card issued by the council is finding less oppo- sition since it is better understood %,v the con- tractors and the general public. The election of R. T. Mclvor and C. F. Schadt as walking delegates for the ensuing term was indorsed. —————— Run Down by a Tandem.

NOW A TRIP TO ENSENADA. Dangerous Illness of One of the Lega- tees and Executors of a James G. Fair Will. Louis Bresse, one of the executors of, and a legatee, to the extentof $10,000, in the original James G. Fair will, must soon be removed to Ensenada for complete re- pose. The voung man who for many years was private secretary for Mr. Fair has so overworked himsel f during the past few months, since the death of hisem- ployer and friend, that he has been at last stricken with congestion of the brain. He has been so ill that for a time Drs. Tait and Luke Robinson almost despaired of saving his life. He was stricken suddenly a week ago Sunday. As usual, on thatday he and his wife dined at the home of General An- drade, his father-in-law. They were ac- companied by Dr. Tait, a family friend and physician, who, later on, went with them to their own home, when he decided to occupy a room which had been set apart for him ever since the young couple went into their new house. To this fact, and that the doctor had his satchel of instruments with him, it is alive. The trio had a light late supper, after which the doctor, feeling tired, retired to nis room. He had haraly disrobed before the screams of Mrs. Bresse brought him to the side of her husband, wno on rising from the table had fallen to the carpet un- conscious. Dr. Tait secured his lancet and bled the young man, whose life was saved by the operation. But he remained unconscions and in a raging fever for twenty-four hours. Dr. Luke Robinson and Dr. Tait re- mained by the bedside of the patient until two days ago watching every phase of his delerium, and eventually they pulled him through. But they have declared he must shake himself away from the intricacies of the business of the Fair estate. Hence the will be accompanied by Dr. Tait. Mother of the Abandoned Babe.

It is| known, however, that some faint clews | have been obtained and it 1s to be hoped that the whole wretched story may come 10 light. The most important clew in the hands laundry on the towel 1n which the baby was wrapped before being placed in the satchel.

Another clew which may assist the de- detectives in tneir search isa large birth- mark on the ieft hip of the babe. They will endeavor to find a physician who has attended the birth of a similarly marked baby, and naturally he would be able to inform thedetectivesastothe parents’ iden- tity.
