Finds Stringent Laws Prevent Build-

Washington, Nov. 26.— A curious
requeat is made o f the Interstate Com­
merce commission in a petition filed by
the National Lumber company, o f Los
Angelas, against the San Pedro, Los
Angeles A Salt Lake Railroad company.
The complaint says that in the past it
has been granted on shipments o f lum­
ber and building material from Los
Angeles to various points a yarding-in-
transit rebate to enable it to meet the
competition o f companies having their
yards at San Pedro on the Pacific coast.
The defendant railroad ia willing to
grant the rebate, but holds that it can
not do so under the law. The commis­
sion ia requested to direct the railway
company to pay the rebate on certain
shipments already amounting to $771
No such report ever before was made
to the commission.
Chicago,
Nov. 28.—A marked
change in public sentiment toward
railroads and other public utility cor­
porations is reported in Oklahoma. It
has been brought about by a bitter
experience, but the lesson learned
thereby is all the more likely to be
profitable and permanent. For nearly
two years there has been an almost
entire cessation o f railroad building,
so far as the trunk line systems are
concerned. This condition has hin­
dered general business to’ such an ex­
tent that the Oklahoma Federation of
Commercial Clubs has taken up the
matter. A circular has been issued by
that body setting forth the facts in
this regard.
It has been demonstrated clearly
to the satisfaction o f the federation
that new capital cannot be attracted
for investment in the state until the
laws are settled upon a fair and con­
servative basis, so that the capital in­
vested may have reason to expect
legitimate returns.

for Rivers and Harbors.
Washington, Nov. 28.— Fifty million
dollars is the aggregate o f the appro
priations recommended by Brigadier
General William L. Marshall, chief o f
engineers United States army, for work
on rivers, harbors and fortifications
for the coming fiscal year, in his an­
nual report submitteed to Secretary of
War Luke E. Wright.
Approximately $2,000,0000 is recom­
mended for application on existing con
tracts for river and harbor improve
ments; $2,100,000 for general work on
rivers and harbors, including examina­
tion, surveys and contingencies; $2,-
000,0C0 lor work proposed by the Mis­
sissippi river commission.
1 he sum recommended for fortifies
tions is $7,732,233, o f which’ the most
important estimates are $2,869,000
for seacoast batteries at Manila; $449,
000 for repair and protection at Pearl
harbor, Honolulu; $507,100 for the de­
fense o f Pensacola, F la .; for the mod
ernizing o f old ^emplacements, general­
ly, $500,000; electrical installation,
$984,258; for searchlights, $907,000.
Commenting on the fortification o f
insular possessions the reports refers
to the “ very necessary additional de­
fenses at Manila.” It suggests that if
the amount recommended cannot be
ful'iy appropriated, at least $2,000,000
should be made available during the
coming year, “ so that a substantial
plant can be provided and work can be
conducted in an effective and economi­
cal manner.”
A considerable proportion o f the
suggested appropriation for search­
lights is to recommended to be expend­
ed in the Philippines and Hawaii.
B oom o f the more important estimates
for the year for rivers and harbors
were as follow s:
California— San Diego harbor, $30,-
000; San Pedro bay, $100,000; Oak­
land harbor, $521,000.
Oregon and Washington— Columbia
Tiver, $1,164,000; Columbia river
mouth, $450,000; Grays harbor, $181,-
000; Puget sound, $130,000; Tacoma
harbor, $40,000
Hawaii— Honolulu harbor, $500,000;
H ilo harbor, $600,000.
An appropriation of $25,000 is rec­
ommended for the Sacramento and
