Hading, UnlteU States senator-elect from hlo, In an address beforo tho Hallway Business association nt Its annual dinner hero r&vored iPtorstato control for tho entire railroad servlco and an Immediate Renoral rate ad vatic to "avo tlio crash of tho tomplo of transportation." Up natd: "Tho nrgumont has novcr appealed to tno that wo ought to prosper our railroads for the specific purpose of promoting general prosjwrlty. It seems to me more Important to pros per our transportation lines as a slm plo matter of fairness and Justice to this moat Important single agency In our modern lives. "I bcllcvo that the day of plunder ing financing has passed. I should like tb proclaim, in the same breath, the passing of railroad halting less Inspired by public good than by per sonal profits and polltlcnl gain. It has been a great stunt "to hammer tho railroads. "I believe It Is the opinion of 99 of every 100 thinking people that the railways of tho country are entitled to an Increaso of rates, and would gladly seo it granted. "Under our present system of ro duced nnd insufficient earning, and with Increased cost of operation, thero arc no marked railway beUormonta except In the high tide of earnings when cost la highest and Improve ments toro hampered by traffic opera tions. Wo ought to reverse this or der nnd provldo an ample earning In gotiti times to enable extensive- bet torment to bo made In tho dull per iod. This would tend to better ser vice in the days of the revival. Mean whllo tho expenditure for better ments would relieve tho general dull Bess ntnld such conditions as we com plain of today. "It is apparent that the Interstate Commerce Commission believes In the pressing necessity for Increased earn ings, but opposes tho short and di rect route. Tho rate increase wouta bo direct nd immediate. Other re medial efforts could be left to follow the slower process of evolved adop tion. If the combined income from Increased rates and added service charges made excessive earnings, con trary to public policy, tho samo au thority which grants tho Increaso order a reduction. "A general rate advance will not bring the complcto revival of Amor lean activity, but It will savo tho crash of tho templo of transportation, es tablish railway credit, and lead to that physical rehabilitation which is of prime Importance in ministering to greater American activities." LEI CONTRACT PACIFIC HIGHWAY 'LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEnOY" AT PAGE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ffiV S SECTION MINERAL WATER STATE RESOURCE SACKAMKNTO, Cal., Dec. 11. Mineral water production Is becoming one of the prominent resources of tho statu and particularly northern Cali fornia. Twenty-one counties In Cali fornia have reported to the state mill ing bureau, that the commercial pro duction of mineral water from 47 springs amounted to 2,350,71)2 gal lons for tho year 1913.

SACKAMKNTO, Cal., Do" 11. Two of the most Important pieces of " mountain construction on tho atau highway are concerned In tho bids to J be opened December 14 by the state highway commission. One attacks a road barrier In northern California and the other covers tho most diffi cult section In the state highway's entrance to southern California from the great valloy. Tho former Is tho Siskiyou section of 1C0 miles be tween Yrek.i nnd liornbrook, and the southern work Is the "ridge route'- section near Moure, mountain on tho road between Ilakcrsflcld and l.os Angeles, 14.5 miles long. The northern California mountain work near Yreka docs not contain nearly as much excavation as the oth er, tho highway engineer's estimate being for 53,7470 cubic yards, it will be one of tho most plctureaqno sec tions on tho inland main route of the state highway, as It follows the Klam ath and Shasta rivers. Instead of steep grades the new road will be al-i niosi lovei, iiuvuiH uui uuu tuiuri pitch of seven per cent as a maximum and, In conjunction with the adjoin ing section to the north, cutting out what Division Engineer fledford has tcrmod tho "barrier of highway en trance to California from the north." The Anderson grade nnd Ualley's IIIII as well as numerous very bad grade crossings, will no longer terrorize motorists from the north when the state highway Is completed in Siski you county. Since the main routes are In gen eral well under way and 2000 miles of urveys and other preliminary work have been completed on them, tho highway clmmisslon Intends to prosecute the next big problem, that of the laterals, with great vigor dur-lng'1915. rxjgs- r"3rs -.,TTTsr sjtp ny r - t m i A imHEMr kp t.rrt .
