There has been q rumor in railroad circles for
several days that certain We'll known resi-
estate agent, who has been agitating to have
the Scott Marble franchise revoked on the
ground that the holders were not going to com
ply with the requirements of the grant, has
been working In the interests of the Southern
Pacific road. which, it is said, is anxious to
crowd out the Union Pacific people. The
Southern Pacific side of the story is that IL the
agitation is made in favor OF any road in par
ticular 1t is for the Cross Pasaoens
ard Altadens line, which has now been
built up to the point where the Scott
Marble franchise begins. It is generally
believed that this Cross line is in some way
connected with the Union Pacific scheme
Cross plans TO extend the road from Pasadena
to Pomona and through the Chino ranch, and
perhaps on to Elsnore. This would take in tue
sugar beet factory which will soon be built ON
the Chino ranch and some of the barley
country of the San Jacinto valley. The future
mining interests of Elsipore might make this q
favorable point for terminal. AS it is per-
poses ultimately to put in independent lioes
both to Los Angeles and Redundo and to San
Diego it is quite ossible that the Cross scheme
has some connection with this.
