The resolutions adopted by the vari ous meetings are similar. The shippers of the state determined at their meet ings to request the legislature and the government to inquire into the trans portation conditions in California, with a view to securing: better regulation of common carriers In the state, and decided to call the attention of the leg islature, congress, the president and the Interstate commerce commission to the protest being- made. - Panama Ball Sates. Her, and at some other plares, ,4 It was recommended that the attention of the national administration be called to the fact that the Panama Railway com pany Is apparently basing its rates upon a certain proportion of the transconti nental rail tariff and that. Instead of giving the relief to the California ship pers which the road has given in the past, ' it is in the anomalous condition of having its rates determined by the transcontinental railroads. Sentiment is rapidly crystallising in favor of the proposal to petition for government steamship service between here and Panama. , BLACK IS INDICTED , Charged AVith Assault With Intent , , to Kill. , (SiUm Bureto f The JimrnsL), : Salem, Or., Dec. s SI.
