SAN LUIS OBIsPo, September 29th.-The
| coming of the Southern Pacific Railroad is
working great changes in this county. The
slow-going old settlers are opening their
eyes to the benefits which will follow the
advent of the road. The construction train
reaches San Miguel next Saturday, and viii
pass Paso Robles and reach Croker during
the month of October. Crocker being in
the center of these ranches. is now rapidly
settling up in small subdivisions, and will
get a big boom from the start, as it will also
be the terminus for at least six months.
The next point will be through Moro Pass.
The Paso Robes ranch is selling rapidly
at very low prices, but satisfactory to the
owners. Ground was broken to-day in
Croker for a hotel, livery stable, postoffice,
express office, butcher shop and drug store.
The maps of the town are not yet out, bat
ten lots were sold yesterday. Corner lots
are readily bringing $3.50 each. The sur
veyors are setting the grade stakes across
the Paso Robes ranch. The county will
BE- asked to build a bridge across the Sa-
linas at Croker, and probably at Paso
Robes. No further resistance is offered in
the right of way, and the way is clear for
the next twenty miles.
