The Southern Pacific in Riverside.
The information in regard to the de-
cision of G. P. Huntington not to visit
this cection before his trip east is not
official, and may not be correct. That
gentleman himself has not informed the
local officers of the Southern Pacific as
to his change of intention.
The Ontario and Pomona papers for
some time past have been uttering
prophesies in regard to the building OF
the surveyed line from Pomona through
the Rincon, South Riverside and Airing
ton to Riverside. The prospects for this
road are the most promising of any line
proposed in Southern California. 1t
would give the Southern Pacific an easy
road into Riverside and allow them to
get larger share of the fruit shipments
of that region. A high official of the
operating department of the Southern
Pacific said yesterday: Il have no doubt
that the road will be soon built. Dick
Gird, through whose ranch the line
runs, is very anxious that it should be
constructed, and is ready to assist il
materially. 1 cannot say that the
Southern Pacific will build the line, but
the prospects for its construction are
very bright"

freight agent of the Southern Pacific,
