Affects Cpokans Case.
In a decision just delivered by Frank
lin K. Lane, Interstate commerce com
missioner, on a Southern Paciflo rate
case affecting; San Francisco freight
rates, the foregoing language Is used.
Its meaning- Is taken to be virtually a
decision favorable to Portland's con
tention In the Sopkane rate ease. If
transcontinental rail carriers have
"properly" made lower ratea . to San
Francisco than to Intermediate points,
to meat ojbmnetltlon of water carriers
out of San Francisco bay, then trans
continental roads may properly ' make
lower rates to Portland, than to lnter
" mediate points. In competition with
water carriers out of the Columbia
river.
The decision In believed to be a fore
rant of the poaltlon the Interstate, com
merce commission will hold upon the
nueetlon of water competition control
ling terminal rates at tidewater, whether
such rmtea lnvlve terminal polnta on
the Pacific, the Atlantic or gulf sea
boards. Xeooenlsee Comoetltioa.
The case lh which Commissioner
Lahe'a decision dlrecilv applies Is one
In which It In ordered that the South
ern Pacific railroad company shall hers
after refrain from adding to the trans
continental freight rate a toll of five
cents oer ton. In the opinion he t a
cusses the transportation principles
that have an important ocarina on tne
Spokane rate case, in that he recognizes
flatly the water ftaale or eompeut.on
Vv common earrlere. The case involved
the right of the Southern Paciflo com-
fiany to w-narge as a part or its ra.e
o ' San Francisco a state toll of 5
cents per ton. From the statement of
facts It appears that the Southern Pa
ciflo company enters. San Franclnco bv
two linen, one from the northeast,
known an the Ocden route, which
reaches Ann Franclnco bay at Oakland;
and traffic by this route Is ferried
transbay, landed upon the wharves In
San Franclaco, and hauled thence to Its
station and yards. The second route,
known as the coast line, cornea from the
southeast, following generally the line
of the ocean shore, and enters San Fran
claco by tne all-rail peninsular route,
landing Its traffic at the railroad com-
.'pany's station. The Ogden line Is much
the older of the two. and was. unlit
merged with the Southern Pacific com
pany, known as the Central Pacific rall-
; road. The coast line, by which freight
in transported to snd, from San Fran
clnco without oronnlag San Francisco
bay or the wharves or waterfront of
San Francisco, has been open only since
June, 1901. . -t.
The title to the land which constitutes
the water front of the city and aounty
of San Francisco is in the state or Cali
fornia, and the gereal charge and man
agement of this watgr front, and of the
docks and wharves erected alonr the
same, are In the board of state harbor
commissioners, which 1s vented by law
with the right to collect charges for
dockage, wharfage, cranage,' tolln, and
rents for the use of the same. In ac
cordance with this power, the board of
state harbor commissioners has fixed
a schedule of tolls upon merchandise
passing over these state premises, rang
ing proportionately downward from five
,,joaiets per ton to one cent on 400 pounds
or less.
The opinion continues:
Text of Argument.
'Traffic moves from the east via the
coast line Into San Francisco, and is
there delivered to the consignee, to
whom Is presented an expense bill show
ing, among other items the articles car
ried, their weight, the rats of transpor
tation." total freight charges, and. In
addition thereto, under the heading
Toll,' the Amount which the consignee
would have seen required to pay upon
th shipment had the shipment moved
by the transbay route instead of by the
coast line. In other words, the rats to
S4n Francisco Is Identically th same
dw doui routes; out wnen tne trarric
moves across the bay from Oakland to
San, Francisco the Southern Paciflo
company collects a toll whlch.lt In turn
pays, to the state tot the use of Its
wharves; whereas If the shipment
moves by the coaat line and enters nan
Francisco without crossing the bay, an
eXDense bill of Dreclaelv the some Char
acter. and Including a charts for toll
la oreaented tn the rnnalanea. Thus the
question arises, Why should ths railroad
be allowed to charge a toll on toast line
shipments which It Is not required It
self to oar. and which is not in any way
a charge which the railroad has to meet,
and for which It renders no servicer .
'Th lh.nrw nnnn whlrh tranSCOnll
nental ratea am made la that the rati
carriers are compelled to meet the com
petition of the water carriers doing
business out of San Francisco bay. Prior
tn the time, nt transcontinental rail car
rlaa-a t ranannrta t Inn from the eastern
taina to Hun Franclaco was wholly. by.
wster or by the Panama or Nicaragua
routes; and when tne nrsi transconti
nental railroad line reached tide water
It found Itself comnelled to meet this
competition. Upon tnis tneory tne trans
continental lines have justified, and
properly so, lower rates to flan Fran
cisco than to intermediate polnta. Ths
rata tn Pacific coast terminals Is desig
nated hv railroad men as a 'compelled
rate' one which the csrrlers themselves
would not make were they sot required
to doso by water competition If they
would share In tne trarric or me ler
mlnal.
Arbitrary Toll TUsd.
When the Oa-den line reached San
Francisco bay at Oakland It found that
to deliver goods In San Francisco It
was compelled to pay sn arbitrary toll
fixed by the state for crossing the state
lands abutting the bay upon which ths
wharves surrounding San Francisco
were built. It therefore Inserted In Its
tariffs a note to the effect that, m ad
dition to the reaular traneportstion
charges, freight arriving at San Fran
cisco would be required to meet sn aa
dltlonal toll charce a Chsfge-which
he freicht brought to Ban Francisco Dy
ocean carriers wss also compeiiea to
meet. Later, when the coast line was
built, the same tarirrs wss maae appli
cable to frela-ht osrried by that route.
end thus it results that freight Into
San Francisco by the coast routs bears
sn arbitrary charge of 6 cents per ton
for crossing a wharf which it never
crosses.
The defendants contention, now
ever,. Is that it is entitled to maxe mis
charge upon a shipment which does not
cross the bay. because It may properly
Impose on transcontinental business any
rate, not unreasonable in Itself, which
It can get In competition with water
carriers, and therefore may Include In
Its rate an amount equivalent to the
stste toll, because the water competi
tion which it has to meet must always
be compelled to meet ths toll charges
of the state.
'This argument Is adroit, but does
not appeal to us as conclusive. The
tariff would make It appear that this
toll charge was actually Imposed upon
all freight entering San Franclnco. This,
we perceive. Is not the fact. Moreover,
(ill eantbound freight leaving San Fran
claco Is not subject to this charge, at
least as a toll charge, no matter by
what route It goes. The toll, It Is
contended, when toll Is paid. Is In fact
Included In the rate Itself Is absorbed
by the carrier and not specifically and
separately charged as in the case of
westbound business.
"If the rate to San Francisco by the
Coast line, Including- the additional ton
charge, la In and or itseir reasonable,
there Is no reason why the tariff appli
cable to the Coast line cannot bo made
to state, as the law requires, the full
rate via that route to San Francisco.
But It Is to bs noted that Sacramento,
Stockton, and other cities farther in
land than San Francisco are given the
benefit of terminal rates without sucn
additional toll charge, although the one
reason that is assigned ror supporting
such rates is their proximity to Ban
Francisco, throwgh which city alone
thev have the advantage of -ter com
petition. Provision Meaningless,
'The hlatory of this toll provision
leads to the conclusion that It was
never intended as- a- part of the trans
portation rate; and certalnlv If ths
Coast line had been first built .Its
tariff would not have contained any
such provision. Why. then, should we
now retard It as properly Inserted In a
Coast line tariff T Moreover, the law
does not contemplate that a rate shall
be made t?y .including charges which
the carrier does not in fact meet; and
a tariff or schedule of transportation
rates does not conform to theilaw which
makes the rate charged depenaent upon
one or more factors which do not enter

A few weeks ago he gave a $25,000

rarsnte were Danish reasamts.
Larson was born on the Danish Ialand
of Fven, In 1849, and emigrated to the
United States when 20 years old. His
parents were peasants, and it was be
cause of the gloomy outlook for better
ing his condition on the continent that
he determlnad to come to America. It
took the savings of the family for years
to furnish his passage money.
Upon his arrival at New Tork his
first act was to seek the Danish consul
The consul was aware of the need of
men on the lettles st the mouth of the
Mississippi river, and made arrange
ments to ship young Larson thsnca, his
fare being advanced bv the consul. It
was repaid from Larson's first few
checks.
Bunkoed Just Oaoe.
Larson remained in Louisiana for
about two years, and had accumuiatea
about $300. In Arkansas he gained nis
first Insight Into tne Dusiness wnicn
proved the nucleus for his great for
tune. With a gang of laborers he sn
tered the new field, where he secured a
position as timekeeper. In the mean
time, a confidence man had Induced Lar
son to part wfth his entire savings. He
never forgot that $300 transaction, and
it was his boast that this was the only
time In his life that he had been film-
flammed. Thereafter his Invariable rule
was not to lend money without' gooa se
curity, nor gifts without investigation.
Builds Boads In JTorthwest.
Larson came to the northwest at
about the time the Northern Pacific
was being construciea west irora
Paul and was given some sub-contracts,
with not a little Droflt. He next estab
lished a freight line into the Black Hills
country. This. too. proved highly suc
cessful. Larson finally reached Mon
tana, In the course of events building
the malor Dortlon of the Northern Pa
cific line In this state. As fast aa he
realized on this contract he Invested the
surplus In real estate, mines and busi
ness ventures in likely spots.
As Banker and Mining Man
He went so far as to establish a mov-
ina- bank along with his construction
work and received deposits In a boxcar.
This led him to enter the canning dusi
ness proper, and he became a stock
holder in nractlcallv all the larare insti
tutions through which he conducted his
vast business. letter, with his. brother-in-law.
Patrick Welsh, he secured larga
railroad contracts on the Canadian Pa
cific and In Alaska. All were highly
successful.
While bull'dlng the Coeur dAlene
branch of the Northern Pacific he, with
Thomas Oreenough of Missoula. Mon
tana, bought the Morning mine at Mul
lan. Idaho, for $360,000. A large sum
was spent in developing, but it proved
a veritable windfall, their profits being
estimated at $25,000 a month. About
two veara aa-o It was sold to the Fed
eral Mining company for $3,000,000 cash.
Xn ths Xitunbor Business.
About nine years ago, Larson bought
from General Russell A. Alger of De
troit, Michigan, a large tract of timber
land in Washington, near Watcom. He
?ald from 46 to 60 cents a thousand
eet for the standing timber making an
Investment of $600,000. He gold tho
timber at a profit of $2,000,000, and still
possesses the majot portion of tho land,
worth several times the original price.
He also possessed large timber Interests
In the Coeur dAlene section and ac
quired Interests In flouring mills In Se
attle and Spokane and In a brewery in
the latter city. For handling his lum
ber business, Larson built the Belllng
ham Bay & British Columbia railway.
His Happy Home life.
Larson's home life was ideal. In the
early eighties he married a Miss Welsh
of Helena, but no children were born to
them. Mr. and Mrs. Larson then adopt
ed Miss Mabel Lemy of Marys villa, this
county," a niece of Mrs. Larson. Miss
Larson was later married to C. B.
Power, a son of former 8enator T. C.
Power, and to them a daughter was
born. To this infant. Larson presented
a princely sum, and to the-awrouple a
splendidly situated lot on which a beau,
tlful home has been built, jiear his own.
Larson's illness dates from the time
of the Clallam disaster on Puget sound
several years ago. He was a passenger
en route to , British Columbia. When
the vessel sank he managed to catch a
floating door and kept afloat for several
hours until rescued. Hs became so
chilled that his liver was affected, and
although treated by the greatest medical
experts in the world, he steadily grew
worse until relieved by death, with the
avpentlon of two nerloda. when he had
apparently regained his normal health.

(Journal Special Servlrs.)
Chicago, July IS. The card of death
in ths fortune telling pack of Herman
Billek, necromancer, on trial for murder
of the Vraal family, was exhibited to
the Jury In Judge Barnes" court yester
day. The sleht of the fatal pasteboard
which foretold accurately the death of
six members of her family proved too
much for the overwrought nerves of
Mrs. Emma Niemann, daughter and sis
ter of the victims, and she fell Into a
faint from the witness stand.
"That is the card of death," she
shrieked, prior to the collapse. "Billek
told the fortunea of the members of our
family many times, and on each occasion
that card came out. Once Billek read
the cards to me In his little tent at
Riverside. "You will be in mourning
Boon," he said. The next week Mary
died." Mrs. Niemann described In detail
the death of the various members of the
family.
A move on the part of the crowd prea
