TIE EIGHT VIEW OF III.

Some time ago Gen. G.. NJ. Dodge, the
well known railway manager, was heard
to say to a New York gentleman that il
the Union Pacific management would
spend as much in trying to sccure business
west of the Missouri as it docs in getting
one car of freight cast of there, the road
would be 100 per cent better of at the
end of the year.
This is a very clover criticism OF the
weakest point in the general management
of the Union Pacific road. Through
snortsighted policy the managers have
always regarded the road from its trans
continental standpoint. Its main line
they simply regard as one vast CONNER
cial artery which has its origin at Omaha
and its termination on the Pacific coast.
The little'commercial feeders in!the shape
OF towns along the line of the road were
scarcely taken into consideration except
in so far as they contributed their mite to
the general,revenue. Such industries as
sprunGlup in.thcse towns wcrel industries
that would thrive in the face of every dis
enlargement. The railroad company
never gave them couutcnAuce.
A few!years ago W yoming presented q
most promising field for Uulon Pacific en-
tcrprIse. = he.compEny had. theI-- entire
territory within its .undisputcd grasp, but
until the Cheyenne 4 Northern vas con
structed it never built a branch line of any
consequence. So long as it WAS possible
it forced everything to come to the main
line.
The conditions are now somewhat
changed but Wyoming still furnishes a
vast and profitable field to the overland
route. 1t is claimed that the Cheyenne
Il Northern does not pay, and We do not
for a moment doubt the statement, but
by what system of logical. reason it-icould
be expected to pay we cannot conceive.
1t ends in the bowels of a canyon; it has
no outlet but must rely for revenue on
cattle shipments and almost purely local
traffic. But suppose the line was extend
cd to Douglas. or better. still suppose it
was not only extended to Douglas but
away and beyond Buffalo, how vastly
would the traffic be increased and the
growth of the country stimulated.
After all has been said the fact remains
that Wyoming is still the richest virgin
soil for Union Pacific enterprise. When

AROUND THE CITY.
Fell From the Second Story
and Badly Injured.
HIS SKULL is FRACTURED.
The Condition of First Street-NOtss
Fathered in the Criminal
Circles.

A carpenter by the name of John
Wright fell out of the second storm win
dow of the New England Lodging house,
last night, at the corner of Second and
San Pedro streets. and received serious
injuries. About $3.50 O'Clock he came
into the house, very drunk, and under
took to go to his own room. At the re-
quest of the landlady, Mrs. Bradshaw, a
man by the name of d. Sharples opened
the door to the mans apartments, and
managed to persuade him to go in and
lie down on the bed. Then he went
down stairs for moment to speak to the
landlady. When Sharpless returned he
found that Wright had left the room.
He had come out in the hall and had
passed through doorway out upon a
balcony which projected over the street.
Sharples hurried thither, but was too
late. Wright had already fallen over the
rail down upon the sidewalk. 1t is sup
pused that he tried to sit down upon the
rail, but was too much intoxicated to
maintain his balance. When he was
picked up he was at first supposed to be
dead, as he was insensible and his face
stained with blood. Evidentlo he had
fallen upon his head on the gravel side
walk. He was taken to the Police Sta
tionon a stretcher, in the patrol wagon,
and the police surgean summoned. 1t
was found that his skull had been frac-
tured and that his face and skull had
sustained q number of wounds.

Yesterday.

Yesterday.
@. B. Carter, of Pomona, was brought
to the County Jail yesterday to stay
thirty days. He was guilty of petit
larceny.
Frank Barone was arrested, yesterday,
for the violation OF the ordinance respect
ling sidewalks. He had a number of
beer barrels piled up in front of his place
on New High street.
j. K. Bigelow, who is charged with
malicious mischief, was taken before
Justice King in Justice Stanten's court
yesterday. He was released on his own
recognizance to appear next Tuesday for
trial.
Yesterday morning tramp called at
the residence of Mrs. Beardsley, in East
Los Angeles, and asked for something to
eat. When this was refused him, he
seized stone and flung it through the
window. He appeared to be under the
influence of liquor.
J. p. Goytino, held to anewer for for
gerry, is now in the county Jail. There
was no arrangement made yesterday
about his bond, and, az Justice Savage
was out of town, it was necessary that he
should remain in eafe-keeping until the
matter could be fixed.
The charge of assault with q deadly
weapon against NJ. Mitchell was dis
missed, yesterday, by Justice King. The
complaint was sworn to by Fred Dohs,
whose son Willie was said to have been
assaulted with the handle of whip. In
the place of the original charge one of
battery was substituted, and this was
dismissed upon the defendants paying
the costs.
A driver for the City Brick Company,
named Ben Osborn, was arrested yester-
day afternoon by Humane Officer Wr light
on the charge of cruelty to animals.
Fred L. Baker, of the Baker Iron Works,

A Ladies, Seminary.

Hon, E. F. Spence is agitating the
matter OF securing ladies' seminary for
Monrovia. The idea is to purchase the
fine Monroe homestead, which is offered
for sale at low figure, and convert it
into school of very high order. Mr..
Spence has headed the list with dona-
tion OF $4,000, and another gentleman
has added another 81 900. This is prob
ably one-fourth of the amount that
would be required to secure the prop
erty and convert it into a school. One
OF the leading educators of Southern
California can be secured to take coz troll
of the institution if sufficient sum shall
be secured to warrant the establishment
of the school. A strenuous effort will be
made to materialize the project.
The adaptability of Monrovia es To-
cation for such school is unsurpassed,
The proposed site lies close up to the
mountains, and yet but half mile from
the business part of the town. The short
distance, fo1ty-five minutes ride from
Los Angeles, the perfect healthfulness
of our town and the moral tone of its
citizens, are especially favoring circum-
stances. The site is a most delightful
one. The buildings lie in the midst of
lovely grove of every variety of eemi-
tropic trees, and the grounds are brilliant
with flowers. Further out from the
buildings are orange and apricot trees,
and here and there the native live-oaks
add charm to the scene.
The advantages to Monrovia would be
marked. A school of the class proposed
would attract the attention of many
people and would be powerful induce
ment to secure very desirable class OF
citizens. 1t would bring considerable
amount of money to be circulated here,
and in other ways would aid in upbuild-
ing the town. We do not know how
much encouragement will be given the
project, but all who are able to do 80
should be generous in the matter. One
gentleman remarked to us that within
sixty days after the establishment of
such school, property would have en-
hanced so per cent. in value Monrovia
