The following letter was received by
nslv Gal
Fillmore, the General Superintendent OF
rumored removal of the Wolfskill depot
to San Fernando street. II appears to
effectually put the question to rest.
DEAR SIR-In respect to articles re-
Gently published in Los Angeles papers,
notably in the Los Angeles Times of the
18th and 14th inst, and in the Los An
geles HERALD of about the same date,
you can safely say that it is not the in
to move the Arcade passenger depot at
Los Angeles (known as the Wolfskill
station), adjoining Alameda street, be-
tween Fourth and Sixth streets
to the San Fernando-street grounds
or to abandon Wolfskill station as our
FsSSS4Scl
Angeles.
Mr.. Towne, our Third Vice-P President
and General Manager, is absent in New
York. l am we'll satisfied that he will
indorse and approve these statements
should he be communicated with on this
subject. Yours truly,
J. A. FILLMORE,
General Superintendent.

same period 175 people were killed and
838 were injured. Since January 1st,
twenty new railroad companies have
been organized in the State.
The San Francisco Chronicle remarks
as follows on the extension of the Dem
yer and Rio Grande Western coming to
Los Angeles:
Some years ago, when G. P. Hunting
ton and Jay Gould had a little differ
ence, the latter threatened to build
through to this Coast, and the United
States Central Company was formed.
The difficulties were settled, however,
and the Missouri Pacific system found
an outlet on this Coast over Southern
Pacific lines. The recent decision in
New York in favor of Huntington
against Gould, and the breaking up of
the contract, has caused the latter to re-
new his old threat, and from the latest
news it seems not unlikely that he will
carry it out. Gould will build from Salt
Lake to San Francisco and Los Angeles,
