OCTOPUS SUPS OUT JILL PROFIT Manufacturers' Association Asks for' More lUgld Control of Railroads. At a meeting of the Manufacturers' association lsst evening resolutions were adopted asking from the govern' ment more rigid control of tha railroads and urging that a railroad company should not be allowed to Increase a freight 'rate without first granting- a hoarlng to all parties Interested and se curing approval of. the Interstate com- control and the resultant rapid develop ment or western Canada ami vruisn Co lumbia were pointed out ss lessons to the United Btatea government in rail road regulation. It Is said the practice of the railroads !ft toe Pacific northwest and elsewhere of Increasing a freight rate without au thority from the railway oommlsalor works untold hardships upon producers, manufacturers, middle men and consum ers, and that ths law should be changed to ive tha People a chance to defend themselves acainst the railroads. Whan a. rate la to be chanced tne hearing before the commission should ha held before the rate ia out Into ef feet Under existing laws tha railroad can-make an Increased rate eirecuve and If the people object they have to sure a hearina. which is frequently Ions- drawn out, and meantime the In creased rate is destroying or aemoraus Ins their business, and rendering them hors de combat so far as conoerns their fanacltv for TlEhtlna tne apuses com named or. in mauuraciurers aay uui he only way they can have an equal chance with the railroad rate barons Is t prevent rate Increases until a hearing Is first had.'

These have all been laid in the'14-foot alleys. At inter sections, where the gas mains would cross' the streets, .thegas company has made its permanent connections already. The LADD'S owner of property in Ladd's Addition, therefore, will never be annoyed by rough gangs of men cutting up the pavement and making the street impassable for days at a time. "I This has enabled the Ladd Estate to lay an unusually good quality of asphalt on all streets. u ADD ON (brink a CD Of Ghirardelli's Cocoa The Most Perfectly -Appolntfed Residence Section of the City J There is not a section of the city that has better or more conveniences than Ladd's Ad dition. It was designed, intended and prepared for the very best class of people. This end will be furthered by- the rigid enforcement of building lines and building restric- , tions. Yet, with . all this care, the prices of the lots, all ; larger than 5,000 square feet, have been made . reasonable, the terms easy and an abstract, showing perfect title, will accompany each purchase.
