This time these Southern Pacific
people came on a business" trip
they did not come just to look around
to see what improvements they might
some day recommend; they came to
order the construction OF an extern
sion to the wharf at San Pedro, and
to see exactly what supplies and ma
terials were needed at this point

Leaving Mr.. Brown the newspaper
man wended his way to the special
car, where he found Col. Strobridge,
Mr.. Hood and Mr.. Sisson.
COL. sTRoBRIDGE TALKS ;.
Col. Strobridge said: "We don't
like to give our plans away to the
public before we know they are ex-
actly settled upon, for we do not like
to mislead people,"
"Have you any particular scheme
on foot just now?'
Nothing except to see how the
work at Long Beach and Whittier anu
San Pedro is progressing. We came
down to see about building a wharf
at that place" And Mr.. Strobridge
gave the same information in regard
to the wharf as did Mr.. Brown.
"When doyou leave here and where
are you going?"
"We leave in the morning and go
to Cienega to see what is being done
there"
"What has been done there?"
"Well, we have one thousand men
at work and they have graded about
three miles of the new line, which
will be upon the bluffs, as 1 informed
you at our last interview some time
ago."
"How long will it be before that
road is completed?"
II cannot say, though we hope to
get it all right before great while"
"The new line will be entirely out
of danger of the floods, will it ?"
eyes, sir, we never expect any
more trouble from that source up
there"
MIR. HOODS BUSINESS.
Turning to Mr.. Hood, the HERALD's IS
representative asked if he had any
thing which would be of interest to
the railway world.
ooh, yes, | suppose might say
something which would prove of con-
siderable interest, but, unfortunately
for you, l cannot yet divulge what
know"
"What about that Los Angeles,
Whittier and Long Beach railroad?"
"You know it is being built?"
eyes, sir, 1 do" said the inter
viewer. 81 know the road is being
built to Whittier from a point neai
Norwalk, on the Anaheim branch
but what want to know is whether
YOU will run the trains to that place
over the present line from Long
Beach and Los Angeles, or whether
the line will be entirely new.'
"Well, the line, every inch of it
will be entirely new, and will rur
from Long Beach to Whittier June
tion, as I will term it, thence tt
Whittier and from there to Ramona
and from Ramona to Los Angeles ane
then to San Dimas."
"What is the object Of having two
lines from Ramona to Los Angeles 2
"Oh, that is another thing. Maybe
the new line will open up a fin'
stretch of country" :,
"What portion of the country viii
the road pass through to get to thes'
points?" :,
"That cannot say, though it vii
be by the most practicable route"
$50 you won't tell me anything else
will your" said the HERALD's repre-
sentative, laughing.
"Not now, anyhow: later on W
may be able to do more for you."
