ELSEWHERE in the columns of the
HERALD we present an interesting
resume of pleasant things that are
ahead for Santa Monica and Los An
geles. Mr.. G. P. Huntington is about
to buy out the landed interests of SEN
ator John P. Jones and Colonel R. S.
Baker in Santa Monica. His plan is to
extend the present Santa Monica branch
of the Southern Pacific railway to the
old cafion, where, under the shelter of
old Point Dune, magnificent wharf
will be thrown out, as the nucleus of a
great commerce. This will be the bid
for the business of this side OF the con-
tlnent south of San Francisco. The
most auspicious sign for Los Angeles
is the war which is now on
between the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe railways. 1t means competition,
lowered rates of freights and fares and
prosperity. The Southern Pacific is in
vading Redlands and Riverside, and
Huntington himself is credited with the
purpose of personally experimenting
the fight in the immediate neighbor-
hood OF Los Angeles. The purchase, by
Mr.. Huntington, of the magnificent San
Vicente y Santa Monica ranch, means
the opening of that royal spread of ter
ritory to sale and settlement, and the
buttressing of Los Angeles by tide OF
immigration which will expedite her in
her sure career which, from having been
the second, will, within decade, land
her as the first city of the Pacific coast

and that they came up, vessel and crew,
to the immemoriably high standard of
American Jack Tars.

SUCH mockeries of roads as exist in
Los Angeles county have probably never
been heard of before in civilized coun-
try. Take, for instance, the so-called
boulevard to Santa Monica! 1t is un-
speakably vile. That portion of it be-
tween the Halfway house and Mondon-
vile would disgrace darkest Africa. No
road at all would be a great blessing
compared to this horrible travesty of
thoroughfare. Anyone who, for his
sins, is obliged to go over it, cannot fail
to cherish feelings OF the greatest indig-
nation against the board of supervisors.
What becomes of all the money that is
supposed to be spent on roads? In the
old days we had good natural roads, be-
fore the hard pan was broken up. Now
the roadmaster waits till the winter
rains, which might pack the dirt, are
over, and he then proceeds to plough
up our thoroughfares, with the result
that they are converted into mass of
dust and muck of an incredibly discour-
aging description. If anyone wants to
realize how our local affairs are miscon-
Quoted let him GO out and attempt to
drive over the Santa Monica boulevard.

By "A reasonable estimate, fully fifteen
thousand people went down to Redondo
yesterday to see the Charleston. Up
till noon the Santa Fe railway alone
took down twenty-five hundred passen-
gers, and most of those who went down
preferred the afternoon trains. The
carrying capacity of both the Santa Fe
and Redondo Beach railways was taxed
to their fullest capacity. The expert
ences of the excursionists were not alto
gether pleasing. The Charleston was
anchored out about mile, and the two
tugs which were on hand TO convey visi.
tors to the crack cruiser were altogether
inadequate to the Office. 1t seems that
scarcely one out of ten of the visitors
were able to board the vessel. Perhaps
such thing is unavoidable under the
circumstances, but it was somewhat
vexatious. The great points, however,
afe.that the Charleston, and it's splen-
did array Of rank and file of prospective
American naval heroes, were on hand,

far as the handling of Asiatic freight an d
mails is concerned.
In brief, the plans OF the company are
as follows: The present road will, by
means OF a tunnel, be extended through
the cliff to the beach, and built along
the beach to the cailon. Here an inn
mense wharf will be constructed at
once.
The advantages offered by this local.
ity as harbor are obvious. 1t is nearer
to Los Angeles from San Francisco by
several miles than any other possible
point. 1t is already we'll protected by
Point Dune. 1t has abundance of deep
water close to the shore. 1t can at a
very small expense comparatively be
made a model artificial harbor, and un-
doubtedly the Southern Pacific company
will give it all necessary protection.
The Importance of this move to all
Southern California can hardly be over
estimated. 1t means the expenditure
of large sums Of money in this neigh
borhood, it means the fostering of this
city and county's commercial interests
by great corporation, and also means
an intention to get away with the Santa
Fe company's business, which must
lead that load to make great efforts to
keep what it has, besides increasing its
facilities.
The extent of the land comprised in
Mr.. Huntington's purchase in a mea-
sure, indicates the extent OF his plans
He does not buy things for fun, and if
he purchases upwards of 10000 acres at
Santa Monica, it is because he wants
that much land, and knows just what he
intends to do with it, and that
is to make it pay, and to do that, he in
tends, in the language of the day, to
"whoop things up'' in that vicinity.
Some time ago Mr.. Huntington made
quite visit to Santa Monica, thoroughly
inspected the ranches in question, and
made a close study of the situation.
The result is what the HERALD has
above stated, and which is the best
news as regards the interests of all its
readers in Southern California which
has been published FOR many day.
The subdividing of the two immense
properties spoken of, the creation on
their broad acres of thousands of homes.
is in itself great factor in the progress
of this county, not to mention the mat
ter OF new port, which will be created
and developed by one of the strongest
corporations in the world.
This move will probably compel the
Santa Fe to utilize its Ballona road, so
as to get an entrance into Santa Monica,
though it is not likely that those who
have been managing the affair for the
Southern Pacific have left many oppor-
tunities open for rival.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-07-24
An Aggressive Policy Against the
Santa Fe Indicated.
Most Important Project of the
Southern Pacific Company.
Mr.. Huntington Purchases Upwards of
Thirty Thousand Acres of Land at
Santa MOnica-The Railroad
to Be Extended to the
CanyOn-A Wharf
to Be Built.

1t may have appeared to the casual
observer that in the battle for trade and
territory in Southern California between
the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
railroad companies the latter was pur-
suing campaign of inactivity.
This may have been the case in the
past, but under the aggressive policy of
President Huntington change has been
ordered, change which will result in
works of magnitude in Southern Cali
fornia and of great Importance to Los
Angeles.
The HERALD yesterday learned on ex-
cellent authority, in fact the most un-
questionable authority, that Mr.. Hunt
ington was about to buy Santa Monica,
which means the rancho San Vicente y
Santa Monica. That is to say, he is ne
gotiating to that end, and the bargain
has been about consummated for the
San Vicente y Santa Monica ranchos,
the great holdings of Senator ]. P. Jones
and Colonel r. S. Baker. These ranchos
originally consisted of $4,000 acres.
Some of the land has been sold off, it is
true, but the properties now comprise
upwards Of $4,000 acres. The land is
mostly fine arabic soil, though the
boundary lines include some hill coun-
try.
The price to be paid may be safely es-
timated at upwards of $3,OO0,OOO, at
about 500 per acre.
rs More than that. For some time past
Hon. T. E. Rowan, H. D. LaMotte and
Mr.. Robinson, who for many years was
Mr.. Huntington's confidential man of
business, have for some weeks past been
buying and bonding all the land in the
vicinity of Santa Monica cafion that they
could get hold of, and they have sue
ceeded in getting very large amount.
10, What does this all signify?
A number Of important things.
= First, the Inauguration OF most ag-
gressive policy towards the Santa Fe
company.
;7 Second, the construction of great
port at Santa Monica, and the making
that place the virtual Pacific coast ter
minal ofthe Southern Pacific company as

THERE are few suicides who are as de-
liberate and methodical as Miles Dodd,
Senior. Having adjusted his business
affairs to nicely, and having turned
over everything to his wife, he walked
into the undertaking establishment OF
Orr & Sutch, where Coroner Weldon
holds his Office. Finding a number OF
persons in the parlor of the firm, he
walked out into the HALFWAY adjoining

be handy when it came to dealing out
crowner's quest law. There was decided
