Change in Railroad Plans.
SAN BUENAvENTuRA, April 1Sth.-It is
understood that the railroad situation has
changed. The Newhall heirs refused a
right of way from Newhall across their
ranch, sixteen miles. T. X. Bard. Jos. P.
Scott, of Philadelphia, and Others, offer a
right of way from San Fernando through
! the Simi ranch of 5000 acres. the Las
Posas ranch of a, 4,009 and the La Colonio
ranch of $4,000 acres, being about fifty-four
miles and reaching to Hueneme. The
offer was accepted, and all the laborers.
carts, etc, have been ordered from New
hall to San Fernando. A survey on the
new route has already been made. A
short tunnel is to be cut in the Santa Su-
sanna pass. Hood, the chief engineer, saws
/ the road will be built to this town in eighty
days, and the same rate of speed up the
coast. The impression is general that the
Newhall heirs made big mistake The
distance hence to San Fernando is sixty
miles. 1t will be easy work, except the
tunnel. Real estate is going up flying.
