H. S. Cobb and party, from Mime
apolis, arrived yesterday in special
car for the winter.
Five carloads of tourists and immi-
grants arrived yesterday, making about
100 newcomers.
The United States geological survey
party arrived at Flagstaff yesterday, on
their way to the Grand canon.
Colonel E. E. Hewitt, of the Southern
Pacific railroad, is in Santa Ana today,
says the Blade, of that city. There is
no doubt that the object of his visit is
to make the arrangements for the NOV
ing Of the old Southern Pacific depot or
building a new one on Fourth street.
1t is the rumor that a new passenger
station will be built. Since the street
cars fail to connect with the old depot it
is to be hoped that Fourth street will
soon be graced with a nice bran new
depot. What's the matter with an ar
cade union depot, combining the Santa
Fe, Southern Pacific, Newport and Santa
Ana, and the Terminal roads?
The state board of railroad commits
sioners held meeting yesterday, says
Tuesdays Chronicle. The most inter-
esting point in the proceedings was that
in relation to the complaint of r. G.
Sheath, of the Consumers Ice company,
relative to the high rates on ice. The
railroad people denied, in long answer
to Mr.. Sneath's complaint, that its rates
OF transportation were prohibitory of an
enormous demand on the local COM
panies for ice for use in the warm val
leys OF the state or elsewhere, or that
such demand exists or would exist, were
it not for the transportation company's
present rates on the cold commodity.
1t denies that its schedule rates are ten
times the rates of roads leading from the
great lakes in the east to various interior
points, or at all in excess of such rates,
after making proper allowance for the
additional cost of service to the defend
ant over the cost of similar service in
the east. 1t AYERS that its rates are
reasonable and just.
With regard to the report that the
taking offof brakeman from the South
ern Pacific train caused the recent acci-
dent at Tehachapi, General Superinten-
dent j. A. Fillmore has said had there
been fifty brakemen on the train they
could not have prevented the disaster, it
being the fault of the engineer and of
the men who should have seen to it that
proper signals were placed along the
track in the rear.
A new overland freight tariff, pre-
pared by the Transcontinental associa-
tion, went into effect on Monday.
Changes are made in the east-bound
rates as follows: On dried fruits in car
load lots the rates to all points is re-
duced from $1.55 to $1.50 per hundred
pounds. On tea and tea dust the less
than carload rate to the Missouri river
has been reduced from So to 81. On bull
lion, released at $3.50 valuation a ton,
the rate to New York has been fixed at
$1.20. On dried peas the rate has been
made $1.10 to all points, and on tank
material new rate of 55 cents to the
Missouri river has been put upon the
schedule.
Up to yesterday the green fruit ship
ments of the Southern Pacific company
to the east for the season were 2430 car
loads, as against 2050 up to the same
date last year.
A great rush of raisin shipments to
the east is now expected by the railroad
people, as the result of the reduction oi
$40 carload in rates, which went into
effect yesterday. Raisins have been
held back awaiting the reduction.
The Shaw surveying party, of the
Peninsular railroad force, is going ahead
more rapidly than at first, says the San
Diego Sun. The two most formidable
cafions have been passed, and the sur
vey line is now headed directly south
east. This morning the advance camp
was pitched seventy-two kilometers, or
about forty-six miles southeast of Tia
Juana. The track layers and teamsters
sent down last Friday to San Quintin
arrived safely and all are at work.
A Southern Pacific official yesterday
told HERALD reporter that ex-Chief
Auditor A. D. w. Mccullough, of the
Southern Pacific, who is supposed to
have suicided on Monday in San Fran
cisco, was far from i'll treated by Con-
troller Lansing. On the contrary, for
