 An Albuquerque Journal reporter, who has been interviewing General F. w. Smith, superintendent of the Atlantic & Pacific, elicited many in- tercsting facts in regard to this great transcontinental line, which will soon be completed to the Pacific seaboard. The line from Daggett to San Diego will be completed in October, when 1t IS expected that line of steamers will run Tn connection to Sln Fran cisco. General Smith says the con- pany has no idea of abandoning its line from Vinta to Albuquerque, but predicts that if the money stringency Tn the east eases up, work will be commenced on this road, probably yet this year. The Atlantic & Pacific is paying expenses, and when connec- tions are completed it will not only be the shortest, but the bes! transcon. tinental railway.
