trains.
The Atlantic express will leave as
heretofore at 7 A. M, arriving at Cotton
at 9 A. NJ. and connecting at Barstow
with the train on the A. 4 T. R'y for
all Eastern points. The Pacific express
from Barstow at 2:55 P. M, meeting the
train from the East on the A. & p.
R'y, arrives at Cotton at 7 and reaches
Los Angeles OF 9 P. NJ. Close connec-
tions are made by through trains for
Riverside and Arlington.
The above change will be OF great i'm
porlance to both this city and San Diego.
as the retail dealers at the latter point
can hereafter come to Los Angeles any
night, sleeping on the cars, have all the
day to do their business, take the train
for home in the evening and arrive in
time for breakfast next morning, having
practically been absent from business
but one day. That many Of them will
avail themselves Of this advantage and
do most of their jobbing trade with the
wholesale houses Of Los Angeles is hard
ly to be doubted.
If to the above schedule there be adj.
ded the trains of the s. p. Co., the Col.
ton local going ont in the afternoon, and
returning In the morning, and the Pa
cific express from the East via Cotton,
arriving In this city at 1920 P. NJ, while
the Atlantic express from San Francisco
leaves here at P. NJ, it will be seen
that there are five trains daily between
this city and Cotton.
Within q few months past straight
passenger trains have been put on the
roads to Santa Monica, San Pedro and
Wilmington, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Or
ange and Downey City, all on the s. p.
Cos lines. The San Gabriel Valley
road is now running frequent trains
daily to Santa Anita, and in a few
weeks these will run to the Duarte, and
before the beginning OF next year pro-
badly to Cotton, at which time there
would be six passenger trains daily be-
tween Cotton and Los Angeles. This
winter the Los Angeles and Santa Mon
lea road will be built. In short time
the construction of the coast line will be
begun at either San Fernando or New
hall, and in another year there will be
two through lines to San Francisco. A
road from Riverside via the Santa Ana
Valley to Los Angeles will probably be
begun in a short time. There is no
doubt that just as soon as the Boston
syndicate get through the rush in south
western Kansas in the building of rail
roads, it is altogether probable that a
big strike will be made on this coast. As
railway center Los Angeles is to-day
very important Her future in this line
is of so vast prominence that it would
be hard to overestimate her probabili-
