Notes.

The HERALD again this morning is
able to give some good news for all
Southern California. and for Santa Mon
lea in particular.
The public are aware, through this
paper, of the intentions of the Southern
Pacific company to make Santa Monica
shipping point and to build wharf at
or near the canon and the large quaint
ties of land that company has negotiated
for. The HERALD has been accused of
giving sensational news in this respect
without foundation. The HERALD, it is
true, does give large amount of sensa.
tional news, but always reliable news all
the time. that is what it is here for, but
it never gives any news which is not
based on reliable information, as have
been all its statements about this Santa
Monica business. 1t knows just what it
is doing and its assertions can be relied
upon. M
An explanation of this move of the
Southern Pacific is found in statement
current yesterday in the city in official
circles that the board of United States
engineers, which was out here last
winter to recommend location to the
government for the construction of q
harbor, have decided to report favora-
bly, on Santa Monica, in the neighbor-
hood of the cafion.
In view of this fact the necessary land
has been secured for the harbor works
and the construction of breakwater
will be commenced at point about two
and one-haf miles north of the cafion.
Another most significant fact in this
matter was the arrival last evening from
the east of corps of twenty-one civil
engineers, all belonging to the construc-
tion department of the Southern Pacific
company and all en- route to Santa
Monica, where, it was gathered from
them, they expect to remain for some
time. M
ANOTHER SANTA MONICA ROAD.
A deed was filed yesterday from M.
G. Hutchison to Arthur Gaylord, trans
ferring to the latter 24O acres of land in
South Santa Monica. Mr.. Gaylord is
the secretary of the Santa Monica Wharf
and Terminal railway company, and the
deal is understood to be in favor of that
company, of which Mr.. James Campbell
is president. This certainly looks like
business on the part of this corporation,
as the property is evidentlysintended for
terminal grounds.
NOTES.

Southern California railroad, arrived at
San Bernardino yesterday from the east,
