The Chino Railroad and Anaheim
Landing An Exoneration News
Notes.
The Terminal railway has again COM
menced the building Of its track inside
of the levee and will push the construc-
ton of the track to Rattlesnake island
as fast as possible, and will then begin
the building OF the branch to Hueneme,
The road has imported 4 number of
experienced conductors from the east,
who will henceforward have charge of
the trains. The passenger traffic has
increased so much of late that the COM
pany feel it necessary to employ only
the best grade of men,
Mr.. Kerrens is expected now any day,
and on his arrival will decide many
things OF great Importance not only to
the road but to the city and county.
THE CHINO RoAp.
The Anaheim Gazette says: During
the past week the soundings at Anaheim
Landing, Bolsa Chica and DEVILS Gate,
q mile north of the mouth Of New river,
have demonstrated that splendid wharf
sites exist for the terminus of the Ana
helm and Chino railroad. That at Dew
IFS Gate, where twenty-five feet OF water
may be had at low tide 1900 feet out,
will probably be selected as the termi-
nus. The soundings were all made UNI
der the supervision OF R. g. Shaw, rep
resenting Richard Gird, and are exceed
ingly favorable.
THE preliminary survey through the
hills to the north OF town begins tomor-
row by Capt. Wood and large force of
assistants"
TO SALT LAKE.
From the following clipping from the
last number Of tina Railway Age, it ap-
pears as if the Santa Fe road wanted to
gobble up the prospective coal trade
from the mines of Utah:
Mr.. A. A. Grant is quoted as follows
in regard to the California, Nevada and
Santa Fe railroad project in dispatch
from San Francisco: '"We have bought
a narrow gauge line which runs 20 miles
from Emeryville. That line is our west
ern terminus. We will have the gauge
broadened at once and daily trains run
ming when the last rail is spiked. The
route to Phoebe, New, is already sur
veyed. We will run through the Sier-
ras by pass which will be south of the
snow belt and north of the rain belt
We will thus escape snow blockades and
washouts. From the Sierras to Phoebe
we will have easy grading, and as we
will connect with the Union Pacific at
Phoebe we will then have an eastern
connection established. The distance
from San Francisco to Pioche is about
500 miles. A road 500 miles in length
will give US through connections. From
Pioche to Milford the road is graded.
From Milford to Grand Junction the
road has been projected for some time
by the Denver & Rio Grande and> from
there to Colorado Springs is the Colo
RADIO Midland and the Santa Fe system.
AL along the line / have indicated are
immense tracts Of undeveloped mineral
lands. There will be business for the
road there for many year. Will we ex-
tend TO Galyeston? Yes; 2 little east
Cortez and then on to Albuoueroue.
We will join the Santa Fe at Weather
ford. That will take tls right into Gal
weston and give Gan Francisco direct
line to that southern port, from which
she can empty her products into South
America. We have good backing,
plenty of Scotch capital, good Chicago
parties interested and some officials of
the Santa .Fe system at our back"
AN ExoNERATIoN.
During the last visit here of President
MARVEL, OF the Santa Fe, he and
party of friends visited Redondo Beach
and had banquet. The papers pub
lished an account of how some of the
party, exhilarated by the viands, at
about O'Clock in the morning started
on fishing expedition, and how, on re-
turning to the hotel they foundit locked,
and had to force an entrance through
dining room window, when they were
caught by the watchmsn, and had to es-
tablish their identity to avoid arrest.
The Chicago Herald copied the story,
and commented on the matter, as an ext
ample of the strange effect of Southern
California climate on staid sober men,
and this has caused some inquiries
among General Manager Wade's
eastern friends as to what man
ner Of man he had become in this
woolly untamed portion of the west.
Mr.. Wade is all right. He did not go
fishing at two O'Clock in the morning,
he never does anything he ought not to
do, and always.does everything he ought
to do; he did not eat too much at the
banquet mentioned, nor did he do any
thing but what an accomplished gentle
man ought to do. He can get certifi-
cate of character at any time, from any
reporter in Los Angeles, and it may be
said right here, that no one is a better
Judge OF character than reporters. The
only thing to complain about Mr.. Wade
is that there are not many more OF him.
