also means millions to tha railroads.
It is held that It is legal for tha rail

as tha road, found tt eould not eompete
against water transportation under the

pany carried about 10.001 cases, or
about one fourth tha amount now on

It la impossible for northern broxers
to ship by water to California and then

bear tha expense of the higher rata over
northern lines or wait until tha affeet
of the Southern Pacific announcement
