trouble TO visit the western portion of the
county, OF west of the sixth principle meridi-
an, as he had done, ne would not write as he

save some one the trouble OF giving further
particulars. Let them just take trip down

important Facts.

Mr.. f. p. +. TEMPLE and Engineer
CRAWFORD were called to San Fran
cisco last week by a telegram from
Senator JONES on business connected
with the Los Angeles and Independ-
ence Railroad. Mr.. TEMPLE returned
on Sunday morning, and from him we
obtain the following information:
Senator JONES and other capitalists
agree to take three hundred thousand
dollars of stock in the road provided
the people of Los Angeles and San
Bernardino counties will subscribe an
equal amount. The road is to be built
on the ordinary gauge and will con-
meet with no other road between the
point of leaving the water and Inde-
pendence. The road will probably
leave the water at Santa Monica.
These are the terms and conditions on
which we may build railroad that
will make Los Angeles the second city
in the State and Los Angeles valley
the richest and most desirable spot on
the Pacific Coast. 1t behooves the
people of this city and valley to think
earnestly and act promptly on the
proposition above set forth. There are
already about one hundred thousand
dollars of the stock subscribed by resi-
dents of this city and county, and to
meet the terms of the San Francisco
capitalists we must find subscribers
fortwo hundred thousand more. These
must be found in this and San Ber-
nardino county. Los Angeles city
will be greatly benefited by this road,
and she must aid in its construction.
The company will require the right OF
way through the city, and will prob
ably ask the corporation to take stock
in the road. Both requests should be
che erfully and promptly complied
with. The stock in this road will be-
come good property, and the day work
on the road is fairly inaugurated the
general advance in property will eX-
ceed thirty-three per cent. The route
of the road is not fixed nor even agreed
upon. 1t is the purpose of the COM
pany to build a railroad from the
water to independence. To the COM
pany it is not all important that their
road shall pass through the city of
Los Angeles. Unless we make it an
object it may be to their interest to
leave us few miles to one side. This
is another consideration to which our
people should give careful attention
The distance from this city to Inde-
pendence is set down by Mr.. CRAw-
FORD at 220 miles and he estimates
that six hundred thousand dollars will
grade the road bed and furnish the
ties. This done and the iron may be
easily raised by bonding the road.
Road or no road now rests with the
people of Los Angeles and San Ber-
nardino counties.
