The prospects of an alliance between
Tom Scott and Senator Jones and his |
friends in Washington this Winter are
very promising. The Needles will |
probably be selected as the converging |
point of a line from the Union Pacific, |
Thirty. fifth Parallel and Texas * Pacific |
RAILWAYS, all to be merged. at that point,
into the Los Angeles and Independence
Railway. which will strike out across the
Mohaye 10 meet these roads. San Diego
and Santa Monica would then be the ter
mini of remarkable system of trans
continental railways, and Los Angeles
would be the center of the grandest
scheme Of railway development on the
continent.
The above is from tho Los Angeles
Express, journal that pays considerable
attention to this matter, and usually
speaks advisedly upon the subject. The
Thirty. fifth Parallel Railroad, as orig-
nally designed, has for its route North
ern Texas and Central New Mexico and
Arizona. with it's western terminus at
the present at the Colorado. The Texas
and Pacific Railway is TO run through
Southern Texas and skirt;ng the extreme
southern verge Of New Mexico, running
through Southern Arizona. and crossing
the Colorado at Fort Yuma continue its
course to San Diego. The Los Angeles
and Independence road has its route des-
iRnated by its name. All those roads,
their intention, importance, etc., have
been noticed at length at various times
in these columns, and now with refer.
ence to local influence. In reference to
the Express statement We must confess
the item is new to us, but is probably
authentic. II SO il must result favora-
bly,. Consolidation of purpose means
advancement of interest, and should
Jones and Scott unite forces they will
make pretty strong team. The
Needless" the alleged convergent point
for those roads, is tract OF country 10

about two hundred and twenty-five miles
