6 T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 23, 1897 SHACKLES ALL FROM HANFORD First Valley Railroad Train Enters the City. GREETED BY CHEERING THOUSANDS. | Wild Demonstration When the Locomotive Comes Into View. VISITING THRONGS JOIN 1IN THE CELEBRATION. Far Into the Night the Citizens and | Their Guests Continue the Revel. HANFORD, Car, May 22—The San Franciscoand San Joaquin Valley Raii- road has come to Hanford, and the event has been celebrated all day and is still, now late at night, being celebrated with | the most extravagant manifestations of | joy. The people of the whole country flocked into and overrun and almost | swamped this live little city, not to speak of the hundreds who came by the special | trains from points as far distant as San | Francisce. The Stockton Commercial As- sociation and the Chamber of Commerce | and the Hundred Thousand Club of | Fresno, sent large delegations of represen- | tative business men, all of whom wore ( badges distinguishing their several alle- giances. Fortunately the skv was over- | cast and a light breeze lent itself to the en- | couragement of the general joy. It is| very well, that it was so, for the crusb | upon the streets, in the very thick of which were hundreds of women with | babies in arms, many of wiom had trav- | eled far to make a partof the big demon- strat'on, must have been otherwise at- tended with serious results. It was a big, big day in Hanford, and it demonstrated as fully as its projectors could possibly desire that the people of Kings County aapreciate at its full what t e Valley road means to them. The dawn was greeted with the booming of cannon, calling the people of the city | up to prepare for the coming of the maliti- tude. And it was none too early, for the sun was not up before the first wagon of the distant rancher or vineyardist turned into the main street and took its post in front of the park. By 9o’clock so many had foliowed in its track that the line of | teams extended all round the parkand | on into neighboring streets, while their freight of men and women and children were already crowding the sidewalks. And still they came by every description of rig, | by bicycle, on horseback and on foot. Where the newly made railway crosses | Seventh street the anticipated first train was expected to stop, and there the crowa | centered. The executive committee, city | officiels and other prominent citizens were there in their private rigs or on foot to receive the officials of the road. The company of uniformed Knights of Py thias was drawn up' in line to serve as an | escort 1o them and to the two companies | of the National Guard from Fresno which | were on the tra Shortly aiter 9 ’clock a fleck of smoke | on the northeastern horizon set a_small boy to crying, "“There she comes!”’ People | are cautious about small boys, and they | waited, watching, all excitement. The spot grew and grew and became a dark ribbon strung across the wide acres of Lucerne vineyard. There was no doubt about it now, but | still the people held themselves in re- | straint. Thep a plume of white steam | sprang straight toward the sky from lha‘ nose of the engine that was now in easy view. There was a pause between the | sight and slower traveling eound, and there fell upon the ears of the waiting multitude the long, strong, vibrant scream | of the engine of the first passenger train | of the Vallev road thundering down into | the city of Hanford. It wes like a yell of triumph. It sounded | to the people like victory’s essay to spell | the word *‘emancipation,” and they broke into a great cheer. Men were waiting at the cord of every stezm whistle in town and at every bell, | the town rattling. | Frank Hafley aids, AN 7/ MISS ELLA COFFEE, Voted to Be the Most Popular Young | Lady in Hanford, Who Represented Kings County in the Demonstration Celebrating the Coming of the Valley Road. ~2 i l | and with the scream of the locomotive, which was the signal, such a din and clamor was set up as set the windows of People poured from the houses and hotels and hurried toward Seventh street, until that thoroughiare became impassable. The train stopped, and the Valley road at Hanford was an accomplished fact. The cbeering and the blowing of whistles and ringing of bells continued for some minutes, while the soldiers and the zuests got down, and carriages and foot formed into line and marched uptown, the visitors dispersing to their several hotels and the officers of the road taking their quarters at the Artesia. The dig parade was scheduled for 10 o'clock in the morning, but asanother | train was required to bring all the vis ors whodesired to attend from Fresno, it was postponed until afternoon. In the meantime the crowds from Visalia and the surrounding country kept coming. The band played in the park and tue Fire Department beguiled the time by giving an exhibition of the Holly system on upper Seventh street, while a great throng besieged the hotel dining-rooms and the restaurants. The second train, bringing a new con- tingent from Stockton and Fresno, ar- rived shortly after noon, and ‘‘the strug- gle for bread” had a new impulse. At 2 o’clock the industrial parade, which had been forming on the side streets since | noon, was given the wi to move. The procession was one designed particularly to interest the visiting officers oftne Vai- ey road, representing as it did the busi- ness interests of Kings County that has been a source of income to the Southern Pacific of $500,000—a round half million— a year. There were wagon-loads of sheep and wool and wagon- loads and wagon-loads of wine, and wagon-loads and wagon-loeds of raisins | and grapes and fruits, and other wagon- 10ads of cheese and other dairy products, Besides the industrial features thers were those of the spectacular Californian parades—the wild riders, bull-fizhters and the Chinese. Sheriff W. V. Buckner was | grand marshal, with B. S. Gumel chief of staff and Peter Van Valer, G. E. Shore, Howard McGinniss, Harry Bernstein and Lew Crittenden had command of the second division. The National Guard companies from Fresno hela the post of homor on the right, followed by the uniformed renk, Knights of Pythias, of Hanford. These erved as escort to the queen of the day, Miss Eila Coffee, witn her maids, six young ladies all dressed in white and car- Tying white parasols, the queen being quartered high under her canopy and wearing a golden crown, while the ladies of . her court sat in a picturesque group about her. The float upon which they rode was very hanasome, The maids of the court were: Miss Rose Rider, Miss Dollie Cof- fee, Miss Addie Coifee, Miss Belle Peacock, Miss Grace Lilian Rider, Miss Gussie New- | ort. A float tearing a bevy of young girls representing the States followed, and another carried a class of the Union’ High School girls. Then came a gallant com- pany of women on_horseback. A covered wagon, handsomely decorated, was la- beled, ‘The Woman’s Club,” and bore the legend, “‘Deeds, Not Words” A wagon bearing the woras, *‘Kern County,"” contained a party that was never tired of reveating to the people along the route: “You are teaching us a great lesson; you are teaching us a great lesson.” The fire department had its place in the line ahead of the industrial floats, and fol- lowing them came Ramon Cheon and his company of bull-fighters and equestrians. Finally came the Chinese contingent with wagon-loads and | | its golden banners and tins:l and noise, and then the bikes. Aliogether it was a notable procession. | | 1t'moved through the principal streets of | | the town and passed in review, counter- marching on Front street and the park before the grand stand, where were the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the officials of the Valley road and the Postal Teliegraph Company. Mayvor Phe- lan, who was expected, did not come. On the stand there were the following, who had come by the first train: Robert Watt, vice-president of the rcad; Capt. A. H. Payson, second vice-president; Thomas | Magee, director; J. E. Hooper, director; Alexander Mackie, secretary; E. E. Pres- on, counsel; W. B. Storey, chiel en- gineer; John Moss, traffic manager; A. D. Schindler of Stockton, division super- | intendent; P. L. White, J. M. Eads, Lov- | eli White, trustees; L. W. Storror, super- [intendent of the Pacific Postal Tele- graph Company, and H. C. Bush, gen- eral agent of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail- road Company. General regret was felt and expressed becaase of the inability of President Claus | Spreckels to be present. When the procession had passed, E. E. | Manheim, president of the Chamber of Commerce, addressed the people, saying that the occasion of gathering was one of | the greatest gratification to the citizens of the county. Although but four years old it might be sa.d tnat Kings County was | fairly out of ner swaddling clothes, and | what had this day been accomplished | would certainly speed her on the upward road to prosperity, He introduced Hon. Justin Jacobs as the spokesman for the people of the county. A bit ofirony lay in the fact that this celebration of the incoming of the Valley road was being held almost in front of the office of the Southern Pacific because of the location in the park there of the band stand; vet the fact .had its com- pensation in the annoyance which the ringing of the bells of the euines of the road caused the speaker. However Judge Jacobs was persisient and made himself heard to the end. He said: Thisisa day of greatjoy for tne people of | Kings Couniy. Our rejsicing should be two- 101d, for we are here Lo celebrate two of the most important events that have transpired in the history of the prosperity of this section of the State—the creation of the new county of Kings and the entrance into our county of the San_ Francisco and Seu Joaquin Valiey Rail- road. |~ While our county of Kings still remains the | youngest in the State it is Ly no means the least in_any particular. In the matter of wealth Kings County is 0, leaving nine- teen below it. The ce d Lucerne Vine- yard is the largest raisin vineyard in the world. Itemploys an average of about 200 hands duriug the entire year. During the | season last past, which was an_unfavorable one, it shipped 140 carioads, or 1400 tons, of reising, besides 1000 tovs of graves to the wineriés of Fresno. In the Kimball orchard | we have also the largest prune orchard in the world. Its shipments for the past season amounted to 175 carloads, or 1750 tons. | Pernaps the greatest burden that has been | imposed upon this, as well as nearly all other | sections of the State, ‘has been the excessive rates for transportation. It seems to be the prevailing opinfon that it has been the dispo- sition and intention of the company having a | monopoly of the carrying trade heretofore to | charge what the traffic would bear. While Brbaps it would be {mproper on_an Gceasion ike the present to denounce, or even call into question the business methods of other trans- portation compaties, yet it would seem the proper occasion to call your atteation to the proposed plan of conductifg business upon the part of the new company that has just reached us with its line of road. I now quote | the language of the president of the Sun Fran- cisco and San Joaquin Valley Raflroad: The way into San Fraucisco is open o us by more than one route and there is nothing that can preveni our entrance, though tae route will be a surprise to many people. ~There will be no trouble about finances. We have | pany having a m | the past twenty money enough at cur command 1o goright ahead building the road, whether we aispose of bonds or not. There are many enterprises in which a retugp o1 6 per cent could be made on eapital inveYed, Lut 1 prefer this project, as it will tend to develop the State toan ex- tent greater than anything else that couid be done by public or private enterprise. I iave no doubt thut when the roadbed is properly ballasted there will be no trouble at all in Tunning trains at the rate of sixty miles an hour. Itisone of the finest roands ever built, as all the materials and trimmings are of the best and latest make. It now remains with the people to decide whether the road shall be the inllest kind of a success, and from what has aiready transpired I have every coufidence that we have now, and shall always continue to have, the support of the people. They, as we, Lam sure, fully realize that our interests are one. The greater the patronage extended to us the lower will be our rates, for we are pledged, as they know, not to charge more than will return 6 per cent oL the money in- vested in the road. When We take into consideration the fact that during every year there is, or neretofore has been, paid out of the county of Kings up- wards of $900,000 for freight alone we can begin to comprebend in some slight degree the enormous profits which acerue (0 4Dy com- onopoly of the carrying Traflic of the great San joaquin Valies. The Valley Road is being constructed and fully cquippedat a cost of about $20.000 & mile. The Sonthern Pacific, or, more properly spenking, the Central Pacific. between Gosnen and Laturop, is bonded for $60,000 a mile. Iis original cost to the company was probably not le s than $40,000 a mile. As to how these matters came about it is hardly time nor the occasion to discuss, Yet, without gofng into the question of & charge or rate of “ail the treflic will bear,” 1t wil readily be seen that it gosts much more to pay interest on $100,- 000 than it does to pay interest on $20,000. The advent of the Valley road hus aiready Teduced ireights and_fares about one-third. How many of us, the people of Kings County, are there who fully realize that the construc- tion of the mew road means a Saving 1o Kings County of about §300,000 per annum, or nearly three times the amount pald each year for taxes? How long this coudition of affairs will continue is for the people to de- termine. Mr. Spreckels, thq president of the rond, truthfully says: “The people's interests and ours aré one. Weare pledged, as they (the people) know, not to charge more than willreturn 6 per cent on the money inyested in the rond.” * We ail know what have been our rates for ; we know what they are now, and we aiso know the source Whence our relief came. Our rates for both freights and farss are now at a very reasonable basis. The time will undoubtedly come when the present rates will be cut. Shouid the Valley road receive the patronage to which it is just- ly entitlec its competitor will, in %all proba- bility, endeavor to cripple the business of its rival by cutting below & living or paying rate on the carrying traffic. Then will Come the test, and the question will be submitted to the Deovle, as all questions of this kind finally are, to defermine whether the Valley road shall be maintained ata paying rate ot 6 por cent on the capital invesied, or whether it will be compelled to Zorm a combination with its competitor for self-protection and put the rates back to where they were before the Val- ley road was dreamed of. Wheuever the shipper or producer avails himself of an opportunity to sbip his goods ior less than the nctual cost of shipment, by reason of the cutting of rates upon the part of rival transportation companies, he may ex- pect to more than make it up in the long run if he isa regular shipper. 8o if the competi- tor ot the Valley road cuts below a paying rete, and by reason thereof you haul your freight there to save & few doliars, don’t make agreat fuss if youcompel the roads to com- bine egain and put on ‘all the trafic will bear.” But we look for better things. Once more, to use the language of the president of the Valley Railroad Compan: We have every confidence that we have now, aud shall always continve to have, the support of the people.” With that support nothing but success ean at- tend this enterprise both on behalf of the company and the people as well. Vice-President Watt was called upon to speak in behalf of the road. Hedid so briefly, expressirg first his deep regret at the absence ot President Spreckels. “When we came here ayear 8go,” he said, “you promised to lend your aid in granting us a right-of-way, and in re- sponse we said we would bring the road here and we have done so. The wurm ex- pressions of welcome manifested here to-day wonld indicate to us that the rela- tionship of the railroad and the people will be mutually gratiiying.” The speaker said_he would give way to Mr. Preston, the solicitor of the company. Mr. Preston made a siort address, every word of which wag to the point. He saia that the spirit off California was strong and progressive, and no bands even o! railroad steel could confine it. Another epoch in the history of the State had been marked when the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rail- Toad had opened a pathway from the fertile plains of the San Joaquin Valley to God'’s iree highway, the sea, Continuing, he said: And it has not been done for gain. I would impress upon you this fact that the men who built this road are not raliroad men. They are men such as you are yourselves—mer- chants and manufacturers.” They did not build it because they wanted to build and operate a road. They built it because they felt it & duty to their State. It was forced upon them; they built it out of the misery of.Cali- foruis. 1donot say this in any spirit of prejudice against the other company. Railroads are not built usuaily through motives of philanthropy, but when the pressure of monopoly becomes snch as to check the natural growth of & State ora people, the bonds wili at last burst, and, released, they will proceed on to their natural destiny. AsIhave looked over this fair State of ours and saw how, despite iis splendid re- sources, it has lauguished and grown faint, noted that its course nas_tended downward ratber than on and up,I have freited and grown impatient as you have. Asa Califor- nian I have been eager to see the day when the great State should be free t0 work out that destiny that 15 ners by right,and I feel it to be the best fruition of my manhood that I have been & part of the active agency in bringing about tae era of its new life, 1t is for you now todo yourshare. Your own prosperity under the néw conditions lies with you. The new road is something of the commonweal; itcame from the people and is with the people; it is going to merit the peo- ple's confidence. How often have you ex- prested a doabt that this road would ever reach here? How often have you said it would never be a competing road—that it would be sold out? Letme ask vou, are your ratlroad fares reduced? Are your ireight tariifs lower than they were? Have you not better accom- i\ k S ARR VAL OF THE FIRST VALLEY RAILWAY TRAIN AT HANFORD, Bearing Hunireds of Excutsionists Frem San Francisco, Stozkton, Fresno and Way Stations. . modations? Then have you npt a competing road through this land t! Gof biessed when he made it? [A voice, “And we'll stay with you."] That is.all we ask. You have sl ere long and been patient, aud Ishall not detain you further. God bless you. ‘When the applause subsided Chairman Manheim proposed tnree cheers for the Valley road, and they were given with a tiger and the gathering was dismissed. A bullfight on the cards for the later bours of the afternoon attracted a great crowd to an arena on the outskirts of town. Not much was expected of it, but 1t proved to be quite an exciting entertain- ment. Three bulls were put through tbeir paces by four matadores. One of the bulls showed nnusual agility and ugliness. Twice one of the matadores fell irrfront of the enraged animal and once it was thought he had been killed, the bull strik- ing him fairly. His fellows rushed to his assistance, did also a body of horsemen held in serve for such emergencies. The spect: tors rushed to the fence about the arena, and in several places it broke down. The excitement was intense. The matadore clung to the bull's horns and neck, and finally succeeded in disabling him. When all was over the gored matadore was found to be only slightly injured, and did not leave the arena. To-night the demonstration was con- cluded with an illuminarted bicycle parade and the Valley road officials were ban- queted at the Aborn. At a late hour the celebration was still in progress. Chief Engineer Storey stated to-night that trains would be run on regular sched- ule in about ten days. The time would be reduced between here and Fresno from three hours by the Southern Pacific to one by the Valley roau and Hanford wonld no longer be a sidetracked town. ‘With the coming of the road comes also the Postal Telegraph, granting the people competition in the matter of telegraphic communication as the road does in that of transportation, The Postal has en- gaged offices in the Artesia Hotel build- ing. The Santa Fe also opened offices bere to-day for the first time, N. W. Hall taking charge as freight and passenger agent. ““The Valley road will push on to Bakersfield,” ‘said Engineen Storey to- night. “It is reasonable to suppose that same transcontinental line will build to Bakerstield and give us connection through to the East. We can then handle transcontinental freight. In the mean- time we undertak= to perform only what we set out to perform—tnat is, to grant relief in the matter of local rates, which bear the heaviest on the farmers. We are doing that.” T0LD A YARN 10 SHIELD HIMSELF Hotel Clerk Kavanaugh No Longer Nevada City’s Hero. Officers Puncture the Story of His Fight With Two Bandits. Declare They Can Prove That He and a Confederate Were the Real Robbers. NEVADA CITY, CAL, May 22.—Walter Kavanaugh is no longer the hero of Nevada City. Ten days azo this 20-year- old youth gained a reputation for bravery by putting to flight two masked men who had entered the office of the Union Hotel to rob the safe—at least, that was Kav- anaugh’s story of the alleged encounter, Now the generally accepted opinion is that the two masked bandits existed only in the imagination of the hotel clerk. Since the affair in the Union Hotel, the local officials have been active. For two days after the allegea encounter be- tween Knvanaugh and his midnight visitors a posse of armed men, aided by bloodhounds, searched the surrounding country, but no bandits counid they find. The bloodhounds readily took up the trail leading from the hotel, but after fol- lowing it for a short distance from the city they turned and came back. Evidently the robbers had not attempted to gevaway from Nevada City, but had retraced their steps and passed the balance of the night within the limits of the town. Now the officers have found evidence which supplies strong gronnds for the be- lief that Kavanaugh planned the attack on the hotel himself, and was assisted in its execution by a confederate. While they were robbing the safe the young clerk accidentally upset a money drawer, scattering its contents over the floor. The noiss aroused J. Northway, the pro- prietor of the hotel. Hearing him mov- ing about in his room, Kavanaugh’s confederate took flight, and the hotel clerk, to give color to the story that he was attacked by robbers, fired a couple of shots from his revolver and scattered the furniture around the soom in confusion. Just as Northway entered the office he dashed out of the door as though in pursuit of some one, again firing his revolversat the mythical robber. This is the theory advanced by the offi- cers, and in proof of it they offer an in- teresting exhibit. The sleeve of a duster, said to have been worn by one of the rob- bers, was found near the hotel wrapped in paper. The authorities have found in Kava- naugh’s room the sheetfrom which this bit of paperwas torn. This is but a portion of the evidence by virtue of which they de- clare that they can prove the falsity of young Kavanaugh's story. Kevanaugh will not be prosecuted, for the reason that even though his story is untrue he failed to get away with any of the gold in the hotel The young man had not borne an unenviable reputa- tion heretofore. Several years ago he was convicted of crime in Oakland and sentenced to San Quentin. He was afterward transferred to the Preston School of Industry, and after serving his term in that institution came to Nevada City a year ago. TACOMA’S DEAD BANDIT. Robber Killed by Superint Dame_ Mdent.fied as the Noiorious “Jack” Case. TACOMA, WasH., May 22.— After sifting a lot of informal testimony as to the identity of the robber who held up the Steilacoom electric-car yesterday Coroner Hoska has arrived at ti.e conclusion that he was “Jack” Case, formerly a member of a band of highwaymen whi¢h made its beadquarters near Roseburg, Or.
