what h Owners Of the Central and
Southern Pacific have I'm View.
For some years past, says the San Fran.
cisco Post, the railroad builders Of Cali.
fornia, impressed with its importance, have
devoted their time and means to opening
up a through line by the Southern Pacific
Railroad to Galveston and New Orleans,
which will bring European countries and
the Southern States nearer to California.
The great work Of closing up the unfin-
ished gap on this line will be completed
within the next 10 or IL months or sooner
Then the construction forces there en-
gagged will be brought to California and
employed on the standard gauge roads as
TO THE MAIN LINE
or the Central Pacific Railroad. The
routes for these side lines have been 10.
Gated with reference to the amount of
profitable business likely to be contributed
and to the necessities of the ~neighboring
settlers for an outlet for their products of
farms. forests and mines.
The California & Oregon extension will
be!pushed forward from Redding to q con-
nection with the Willard system Of roads
in Oregon, as rapidly as possible.
The Northern Railway, from Willows
north to Tehama, or Red Bluff, through Q
rich agricultural section, will be extended
during the coming Spring.
THE MODESTO, TuoLUMNE AND MONO
Railroad, just organized, running from
Modesto, on the line Of the Central Pacific,
IN the San Joaquin Valley, over surveys
made by the Central Pacific Railroad more |
than five years ago, will be constructed as
rapidly as men and materials can be OBJ
tanned. This much-needed road will open
up a rich agricultural and mining region
greatly in want Of an outlet. On this line
there are also vast q~uarries Of finest mar |
Die, valuable for ornamental and building
purposes, together with large and un- /
touched forests Of superior sugar pine and |
other splendid timber.
II ROAD FROM MoJAyE IN A NoRTHERLY
DIRECTION,
Affording a rail communication with the
mining regions of Independence, Pana-
mint, Darwin, Old Coso and other mining |
camps in the vicinity of Borax Lake, is
greatly required, and engineers are to be
put in the field with a view to commencing |
the construction Of the road early the
coming year.
Another road, from the vicinity of
MERGED up through the agricultural Sec
lions OF the foothills, thence through the |
timber lands by the most practicable |
route to Fresno and Mariposa groves of
big trees and
THE YOSEMITE VALLEY,
Will shortly be commenced and pushed
with vigor in order to complete ii across
the San joaquin Valley to the foothills in
time for the tourist travel Of the approach
ing season.
The extension Of the Vaca Valley 4 Clear
Lake Railroad from Madison through Ber-
ryessa Valley into the Clear Lake country,
is also to be prosecuted as soon as men can
be spared from other sections and got into
the field. The extension OF the San Pablo
d Tulare Railroad, from Tracy up the
west side Of the San Joaquin, Is also pro.
jected, aud will be commenced upon al an
early day and there are several other
roads and extensions contemplated, which,
when completed, will make the standard
guage system Of California q marvel Of
railway perfection.
