raising early vegetables for the Chicago
market. MIR. Henderson, of General
Mansger Wade's office, said yesterday
to a HERALD reporter, that in a season
or two vegetable trains would be sent
from Los Angeles to Chicago en- the
same time as passenger trains. Chicago
can consume and distribute at least one
hundred cars of vegetables day, and
of these it is expected Southern Califor-
MIA will supply very large proportion.
All that is needed to make the business
highly profitable is to pack the vegeta-
bles in the right kind of packages and
get it to market in good condition. There
should be many times the profit that is
obtained now in orange or fruit culture
for farmers who understandingly raise
vegetables. Mr.. Henderson assured the
reporter that freight rates would be put
at satisfactory figure and every encour-
agement given to the farmers.
THE PENINSULA ROAD.
Contractor r. A. Graham and Chief
Engineer Earle of the Peninsula railroad
returned this morning from San Quin-
tin, says the San Diego Sun. Replying
to request for information Mr.. Gra-
ham stated that work on the Peninsula
railroad had not abated; that the full
force OF men and teams was busy; that
all the difficulties with the Mexican
government relative to the surveys had
been adjusted, and that as soon as the
plans and specifications now being
= Al
in this city were ready to be approved
the two surveying parties would begin
work and push it forward as rapidly as
possible. THE drawings and plans of
the survey will probably be fin
Graham, "and | think both the survey
ing parties Will be at work by the lst
of November We have experienced
considerable difficulty in making the big
fill just this side of San Quintin. This
fill, which you have described before, is
the worst one we will have on the entire
line. 1t is 1900 feet long and
forty feet deep. We are now engaged in
building temporary bridge over the
chasm and expect to haul dirt out there
and grade up the fill, using train to
haul the dirt instead OF teams. We can
then transfer at least one-half the force
to the north end of the grade and pro-
ceed more rapidly. You may say, and
it will be correct too, that there will be
twenty miles OF track complete and
equipped, with trains running over it
every day, by December 1st. The force
now at work consists of l36 men, sixty
teams, twenty-four dirt trucks, harness,
etc. We have plenty of provisions.
Two hundred sacks of -four arrived by
the last steamer and another big con-
signment will go down November 5th."
Messrs. Graham and Earle will re-
main in the city until after November
1st, when they expect to return to their
headquarters at San Quintin.

STEAMERS AND SAN DIEGO.
The Encinitas Journal, OF San Diego
county, in discussing transportation
matters, says, apropos of the Pacific
Mail steamers stopping at San Diego:
"There seems, however, to be some OBJ
lection by the steamship company itself
to the proposition. Why could not the
chamber Of commerce and board of
trade in the different cities and towns
in Southern California, and also in the
northern part of the state, work together
and bring sufficient influence to bear
directly on che steamship company to
overcome their objection, and show
them that many of their patrons request
them to do so? Stockton. Sac
ramento, Fresno, Los Angeles, San Di-
ego, Santa Barbara, Ventura, ETC.,
should all make an effort, and why
should not the Santa Fe railway also
make an effort in this direction. il they
have not already done so? They would
certainly be the gamers, by securing
business not only for local points in
California, but long eastern hauls on
freight and passengers which they do
not get now On eastern business two
TO four davs' time would be saved. The
