Favorable Business Reports from
the offices.
The passenger business of the past
week for both the main roads coming
into this city was as big as any on
record. The many excursions run to
Monrovia, Pasadena, Santa Monica,
Santa Ana, etc., took large crowd of
people out of the city, and the incoming
trains conveyed a host OF residents of
the local towns anxious to participate in
the Odd Fellows festivities. The travel
northward during the last day or two has
been abnormal, and only those who
made their reservations day or two
ahead were able to obtain accommoda-
tions yesterday. A good many tickets
to the Yosemite Valley have been sold
and it is evident that the excursionists
intend to see the sights of the State be-
fore they return to their homes.
The freight traffic is also picking up
rapidly and the indications are that the
next month will be very busy one. OF
course the enormous rush of little over
a year age is scarcely to be expected as
these merchants were then stocking
themselves with goods preparatory to the
putting into effect of the Interstate Com.
mercial Act.
