10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896. As heretofore, the Southern Pacific will meet these rates at once, and will have their revised schedules to these points ready for issuing by Tuesday. Since the Valley road issued its first- class rate schedules, the Southern Pacific has adopted an entirely new basis of rates for first, second, third and fourth class freight between San Francisco and Stock- ton. Its old rates between these points were 6 cents for 100 pounds on first-class, 3 cents for 100 pounds on second-class 2nd 2 cents per 100 pounds on third and fourth class freights, and these were the rates used as a basis by the Valley road in 1its first tariff-sheets. In its efforts to meet the rates of the Valley road, Huntington’s line cut the first-class rate to 5 cents, but advanced the second-class rates to 5 cents and the third and fourth class rates to 4 cents per 100 pounds. Mr. Moss had now met the reduction on first-class rates, but maintains the old rates between San Fran- cisco and Stockton on second, third and fourth class shipments. Thus the Valley road rates from San Francisco to all points to and beyond Stockton are 2 cents per 100 pcunds, or 40 cents per ton lower than those of its competitor. The Valley road’s reduced first-class rates are now as follows, excluding the points already MOSS SWINGS HIS KNIFE AGAIN More Points in the San Joa- quin Valley to Enjoy Low Rates. HEAVY CUTS ARE MADE Four New Stations to Be Opened to Freight Traffic To- MOrrow. given in one of the foregoing tables: San Francisco to BRIGHT PROSPECTS AHEAD. In order to ascertain the rates from San Francisco to the pointsabout to be opened it is only necessary to add to the rates irom Stockton, given in the first table, 9 cents per 100 pounds for first class, 3 cents for second class, 2 cents for third and fourth class and 60 cents per ton for the remaining six classes of freight. As most of the freight moved into the valley falls in thesecond, third and fourth classes, the difference of 40 cents a ton in the Valley road’s rates on these classes will give that line a great advantage in securing freight. Grain rates will also be announced on Monday between the new stations and San Francisco, Port Costa and Stockton. Existing Troubles With Fresno Prop- erty-Owners Expected to Be Settled Shortly. Four new pointson the Valley road will we opened to the freight shippers of the San Joaquin Valley to-morrow and the usual reduction of rates will be enjoved by the people who will thus be enabled to ship over the Southern Pacific’'s compet- ing road. Traffic Manager Moss completed his tariff sheets for the new stations yesterday and they will become effective to-morrow. The new link thus added to this road con- sists of twenty-two miles and comprises the stations of Marguerite, Sharon, Miller and Lankershim, and brings the southern terminns of the road within twenty-one miles of Fresno. Herawith are given the rates between Stockton and the points to Up to now the Southern Pacific has been quoting fifth class and class A rates only by the ton in carload lots, but it will shortly make these rates apply toless than carload lots, and will quote them per 100 pounds, and will thus adopt the present style of the Valley road’s schedules. Directors Watt and Payson and Chief | Engineer Storey of the Valley road re- turned from an inspection of the line ves- terday.

The Money Made Will Cause Many Others to Go Into the Business. THE TRIUMPH OF SEVEN DANES A New Furnace Is Being Built for Quicksilver Treatment at ! N.w Idria. D. F. McPhail of Hollister, Assessor of San Benito County, is in the City, after making an extensive canvass of the vari- cus property interests in San Benito. He says there are enormous yields of all kinds of crops there. “The average and quality are excellent,” he said. “San Benito in regard to her products is having a phenomenal year. There is a large crop of hay and an enor- | mous crop of beets. There are in all about 2500 acres of beets, which will be mar- keted at the beet-sugar factory at Watson- ville. The yield has been so good that it is probable at least 10,000 acres of beets will be planted next yvear. “The average yield of beets will be about twelve tons an acre on a conserva- tive estimate, but there are many farms that will go twenty tons. The beets bring $4a ton delivered at Watsonville, while the freight on them by rail is 50 cents, leaving $3 50 net. “It is estimated that the expenses of thinning and cultivating the beets is but $ an acre, That,in fact, is the regular | contract price there. So you see thereisa very handsome profit in the business. “‘As an instance of what is being done, | severr Danes, brothers, rented afarm of | 279 acres, paying for it $7 an scre as the | rent. They have raised not less than eigh- | teen and probably twenty, tons to the acre. Three of the Danes havedone nearly all the work, the others being engaged in | a~nther beet-raising enterprise near Wat- | sonvilie. It is said that on the first farm the three will make $6000 this year above | all expenses. “The hay crop of San Renito will amount to about 9000 tons. It isa little short of the crop of last year, because of the increase of the acreage of wheat. The wheat wiil average about fourieen centals | to the acre. “There is a tremendous crop of barley. It wili average about twenty centals, but a zood deal of it will go as high as twenty= seven or twenty-eight centals, “The New Idria quicksilver mines which were sold some time since by the New Idria Mining Company to the New IN SAN BENITO. ” Assessor D, F. Mclhail of San Benito on the Big Profits of the Beet and I material used is not according to specifica- tions, as mortar is being used instead of cement and sand. He submitted samples of the material of which he complained. This brought up again the council's complaint against the Board of Education and the contractors who are and have been whitening and repairing the school- | houses, The debate resulted in the issu- ance of the following card: | . We, the Building Trades Council, sanctioned the committee appointed b{ the Painters’ Union, to investigate the work being done on the schoolhouses two weeks ago, and in- structed them to give a written report to the painters did so, and the board referred it to its committee that has had charge of the work from the beginning. We know that committee did not attend to its duty before, for it alléwed the work to progress in a shameful manner, knowing that the schools had to be opened in one week from ihe time the contracts were let, and that if it aliowed the work to be completed in the man- ner that it was, so that it would be too late to condemn it afterward. Even now some of the schools are not ready for occupancy, which is a‘shame and a disgrace to the City o{s;n Fran- cisco. It seems strange to us that the board did not let the work when the school-buildings were first vacated, and not wait until the last week, when they knew that it wae impossible to have them completed in time for opening. Even the janitors could not do the necessary glean- ing, which they generaily do during vacation, for they had to wait until the caleiminin; was done. We denounce the way the wor{ has been done, from & mechanical and sani- tary stanapoint—sanitary, for the reason that the walls and ceilings have not been cleaned, asthey should have been, and as the specifi- cations call for. Another !!ungl that seems strange to us is that one man should get so many contracts on different school buildings, for work entirely out of his iine, and should be sllowed to do the work in so shameful a manner. Therefore we denounce the persons in charge of said work for allowing it to progress in tbis dis- graceful manner, and we ask the public and Board of School Directors. The committee of | all reform bodies to help us to compel the p: ties in charge of said work to give & strict ac. count of why they allowed the Work to progress as they have, and why they waited until the last week of vacation before letting it. This is not idle ulk,cfgr we are in & position to prove i arge. Lyl e gBVILD!NG TRADES COUNCIL. The delegates from the Painters’ Union presented the following report: The Painters’ Union at last session adopted & means of exposing the fraud which is being erpetrated 1n their trade, with the object of gsnefitlng property-owners, legitimate master painters and themselves. The matter will be exposed through the means of circulars ex- plaining every detail of the schemes through which the property-owner is defranded. The instrument to be circulated gives the details of fraud very explicitly. The object is tobring to the attention of the public the fact that they are being deceived in a good many cases when they are having painting done.

SAMUBLS, 123 TO 129 POST STREET, SAN FRANCISCO. “UNTOLD AGONIES." DEADWOOD, South Dakota, Oct. 21, 1895, THE VIAVI CO.— I feel it my duty to write you what the wonderful remedy, VIAVI, has done for myself and daughter, especially curing leucorrheea (which I had from childhood, and my daughter inherited it), causing severe backache. For twenty years I suffered untold agonies. Nineteen years ago 1 had spinal meningitis, which dieffrent physicians said I would never recover from, especially my nervous system. I was married seventeen years ago and have since had anteversion, then prolapsus, heart trouble, severe stomach trouble, lung trouble, until finally the nerve force was exhausted, causing spells which would come on at any time, lasting from one to two hours. After using VIAVI some six months, and being relieved of these troubles, also a severe pain constantly in the back of my head and soreness in the left ovary, 1 be- came pregnant. Had no “morning sickness” or discomfort whatever and was able to be up two days before confinement, to walk up hills and steps with ease and lightness, and was only sick a few hours with a little stomach-ache, until the last three or four hours. I can truly say it was wonderful—this being my third child—having suffered everything with the others, my first being taken with instruments and twelve years intervening between the last two. I beg all ladies expecting to become mothers to give VIAVI a trial and be faithful with it, and so be relieved of that misery and discomfort experienced at such times, I would add I am forty years old. MRS. H. H. D. PETALUMA, Cal, Aug. 19, 1894. THE VIAVI CO.— Dear Sirs—After using VIAVI for fifteen months I am happy to say I am a well woman. I began using the treatment for inflammation of the blad- der, caused from anteversion. At the end of a short time the parts went back into proper position, and I bave not been troubled with inflammation since. I was also, entirely cured of leucorrheea, from which I had been a sufferer for years. My circu- lation also became better, so that I did notsuffer any more from cold hands and feet. I still kept on the use of VIAVy, thinking it would probably help the catarrh of the head and throat, which I am thankful to say it has cured. But I praise VIAVI more for curing me of constipation, which I have had for eighteen years, and have taken different liver medicines and treated with different physicians without receiving any benefit. MRS. G. W. P. “ALL MY LIFE.” SNOHOMISH, Washington. THE VIAVI CO.— Dear Sirs—I have been troubled with leucorrheea in its worst form for more than two years, also painful menstruation all my life. Have used a three months’ treatment of VIAVI, and now consider mysel perfectly free from all uterine trouble. MRS. P. A. 8. GRASS VALLEY, Cal. 5 THE VIAVI CO.— , Cal., May 24, 1894 For the benefit of other young girls I want to tell you how I a and feel, after having been a sufferer all my life.g I seemed to have alm{ast every conT— plaint a woman could have, when I heard of VIAVL. After a three months’ treat- ment I am feeling like an entirely new being. I feel that VIAVI has saved my life. My disease was fast running into spinal trouble, which would surely have ended in msanity. My back and eyes were affected ; I suffered greatly « very month with pain- ful menstruation. I suftered with most terrible, excruciating headaches at the base of the brain, in fact I was never free from pain. I have so often wished I could lie down THE VIAVI COMPANY— and die to be free from my misery. Had given up all hope of ever being well, young asIam. As for anaim in life, I had none. I had to stop school long before my education was compieted. VIAVI has changed everything, and life now seems worth the living, with new energy born from new hope coming as a result of returning health. Have now completed all arrangements to go East in a few weeks to scnool to complete my education. After having suffered so long. so many weary months of discourage- ments, as the result of my ill health, I feel that I can never be thankful enough to think I ever had a chance of learning of VIAVI or of meeting vou, who first called my attention to it by one of your heaith talks. For now I feel ave a renewed lease on life, and as 1 continue to geu stronger shall feel like forever praising VIAVI, for the wonderful change which my friends fil notice has been brought about entirely by the use of VIAVI. Girls everywhere, who may ever hear of my case, I beg of you to use VIAVI and get well, as it can be used in the privacy of your home and saves going to phyeicians, which 1 so much dreaded. Would be pleased to write to any afflicted girl who may wish to learn more of my case as a means of encouragement to herself. With a thankful heart, I remain, your friend, MISS J. M. B. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June9, 1894, THE VIAVI CO.— :: Gentlemen—I desire to give you a statement of my experience with VIAVI in the hope that it may be the means of inducing others to adopt its use, and thus reap the benefit from it that I did. My trouble was painful menstruation, from the first appearance of the menses, during a period of nine years, being so bad that portions of the lining were expelled at each periodv, and only those can know what I bave suffered who have had a like experience. = During this time I treated with the best physicians in Philadelphia and had an operation performed, which gave me no relief. The last physician I had treated me locally for about a year, and I thought he was curing me, but my eyes began to fail, which prompted me to consult an oculist, who, after examining them, informed me that he could do nothing for me, as the loss of sight was due to some inward trouble, which, if I had repaired, my sight wou!d return. Previous to this I had been urged to try VIAVI by one who had used it, but I looked upon it with no favor, as snch remedies are gener- ally looked upon, but after consulting the oculist and expecting I was getting well I became desperate, and thought I would see if there was really any virtue in VIAVI, so I bought a box and commenced its use at once, and can thankfully say that I have found it to be possessed of much virtue indeed.. T continued the use of it ten months and found myself completely restored, eyesight and all. At the end of that time my condition surprised my friends, and when I reflect that the small outlay for VIAVI cured me, after the large amount I have spent otherwise wichout much relief, it leads me to hope and pray that the day is not far distant when all ladies will know its true value for all these troubles. You may publish this statement far and wideif you wish, as it may influence others to try this simple, thougb effective remedy. Yours with gratitude, 8. E. 8. IONE, Cal., August 28, 1891 THE VIAVI CO.— I am using my fourth box of VIAVL ' I have been troubled all my life with the whites, and at times was very bad. VIAVI has entirely cured me of that trouble. For the last three years I have had ovarian troubles, suffenn.% a Igreac deal of pain and becoming such a size that I was beginning to be ashamed. was under the doctor’s care during those three years, but nothing seemed to do any good, * until I began using VIAVI. Now I only feel the pain in the ovaries once in a while, and am back 10 almost my natural size.” I feel confident that VIAVI will cure me, and will continue to use 1t. I think it a fine remedy, and recommend it to all ladies suffering from these troubles. MRS. E. A. P. SEATTLE, Wasn., Feb. 24, 1896. GENTLEMEN: In justice to your remedy, I wish to state what Viavi has done for 1 have suffered from catarrh in the worst form for the past seven lye-rs. I have me. can truly say used the liguid Viavi and Cerate off and on for about one year and that it has cured me of that dreadful disease—catarrh. g My wife has also used it with wonderful success and would not be without it.

At last, through some one, I heard of VIAVI and decided to give it a trial. I had tried local treatment and other remedies to no purpose.

THE VIAVI CO.— 3 Dear Sirs—From overwork in school some years ago I suffered with irregularity in menstruation. Since then I have been tolerably well until last fall, when my menses became suppressed from taking cold. I became dropsical and bloated, until 1 was so embarrassed I did not want to appear in company. I was life- less, and lost all energy.. It affected me so that my friends thoueht I would become permanently deranged; and I thou:ht so myself, because so much of the time I was sick seems like a blank to me, which proves that my mind must have been affected. A lady friend told me about your medicine. I began trying it, and at first could not notice any improvement, buf kept on using it, and it brought back the menses during the first month’s treatment. I gradualiy improved until I was so well my friends could not realize the change, and said they never saw me looking so well. I kept up the treatment until I was entirely cured. I will recommend it to any one whom I know to be suffering from ailments of this kind. I tried the best physicians in this city, but failed to get any help from their treatment. I would recommend any one using it to keep it up for several months, as these diseases require time before a cure can be effected. I have found the remedy soothing and no trouble to use. CATARRH. Mrs. G., Oakland, Cal.,, has used the liquid VIAVI1 for catarrhal affliétions, and desires me to express to you her gratitude and thanks for the relief which its use has afforded ner. Until sue began using your medicine she had neither tasted food with a relish nor had she a sound_ sense of smell for five years. She intends recom- mending it to all her friends thus afflicted. MRS, L. M. THE VIAVI CO.— - Ih ear Sirs—I have been troubled with catarrh f years. The discharge was offensive, and the sense of smell almost 5’5552335. t‘;e:% different kinds of treatment, which would help for the time being, but never perma- nent{y, Change of climate was a help, but by no means a cure. I have used the VIAVI Liqud for Catarrh, and can say that it has done more for me than anything 1 have ever tried. The discharge was cnred, there is no soreness left, and the head feels clear. I have been persistent with the remedy, knowing that it took a fair trial to give the treatment a chance to do its work permanently. 1 believe it will be a perma- nent cure. With many thanks, I am yours very truly, - For name and address of the above persons and other information address THE VIAVI C 2304=0-8 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, Cal. ©0O-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-00
