RAILROAD GOSSIP.
Plans of the San Joaquin Valley
Line.

SAN Francisco, January 30.-In
discussing the subject OF the mission
of T. r. Wilbur, OF the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley railroad to
the East, a railroad man who is in a
position to know the facts in the mat
ter said to-day that the "trip was made
for the purpose of placing the bonds
OF the company. For this transaction
negotiations had previously been
made. and there is no doubt but that
the bonds will all be placed. There
is no longer any question of the
Atchison's connection with this
line, and it is generally recognized
by officials OF the Southern Pa ific
Company and others. 1t is learned
that the San Francisco and San
joaquin Valley road will not build its
main line to Fresno, simply running
a branch easterly into that town and
continuing the main road on down
the valley. 1t all Ii s with the
Southern Pacific company whether
the San Francisco aud San Joaquin
Valley line shall be built on the east
or west side OF the valley in going
south from Whites Bridge, to which
pla e the grazing h IS been completed.
If the Southern Pacific continues to
bull down the west side OF the valley
it will compel the other roads to 9
over to the east side and enter the
territory OF the present Southern Pa
cific main line.

Three Persons DrO Wned ON 1he
Lower Columbia River.
PORTLAND, January 3O.-News of Z
serious disaster at Tongue Point, on
the lower Columbia river has lust
been received. The little steamer
Cleaner, under the command of Cap
tain Peter Jordan, left Astoria bound
for Deep river yesterday morning.
She had on board seventeen passen-
gers, including the crew and small
quantity of freight. At the time .
strong wind was blowing from the
southwest and the water was very
rough. After passing Tongue Point
some distance heavy swells were met-
the Cleaner beached, the freight
listed and the vessel went over on her
beam ends. She could not be righted
and soon began settling rapidly. Most
of those on board managed to escape
by getting into large fishing smack.
which the Cleaner had in tow. How
ever, three passengers, Jacob Rennets.
Miss Mary Holt and Miss Hilde
Wilma were in the cabin at the time
the boat capsized and could not
make their escape. Nothing could
possibly be done and so they perished
in less than three minutes after. The
Cleaner went down in thirty feet Of
water. Rennets was Russian, aged
40 years. He leaves a wife and six
small children. Miss Holt was the
daughter of w. w. Holt of Astoria.
aged 26 years. Miss Wilma was
aged 16 years. 1t is believed that the
wreck and bodies all drifted out of the
Columbia bar, and if this is the case,
nothing will probably ever be recov-
cred. The Cleaner was about
eight tons burden and valued at
$4,000.
