THE RAILROADS.
EXTENSIVE wASHOUTS REPORTED
YESTERDAY IN ARIZONA.
Down-A Ruling on Round-trip
Tickats-Notes.


Atlantic and Pacific, of the Santa Fe
system, and the Southern Pacific. have,
during the past few days, suffered
greatly from washouts. At the Santa
Fe Offices yesterday no definite informa-
tion about the line could be had, as the
wires were all down. The chances are
that the Atlantic and Pacific is badly
damaged in consequence of the very
heavy fall Of snow reported in yester-
days HERALD along the line in New
Mexico and Arizona. This snow is
probably now melting, and will cause
tremendous amount Of water.
The Southern Pacific at O'Clock yes
terday announced that all washouts on
it's line in Arizona had been repaired,
but it was found that more might be
caused by rapid rising OF the streams in
southern Arizona led by the melting
snow in the north.
ROUND TRIP TICKETS.
The following, taken from the San
Francisco Chronicle of Thursday, applies
in the main to this city:
"A very important circular, affecting
the -talked-of limited tickets, has
been received from E. p. Vining, chair
man of the eTranscontinental association.
Robbed of all its technical language, the
circular means that the present unlim-
tied tickets-or, rather, tickets at the
same rates-will from March 1st be sold
with thirty-day limit on them, dating
from the day OF issue. Unlimited tick
cts are also to be sold. and the cost OF
these first-class one-way tickets will be
the total of the local rates charged from
the starting point to destination. This
is, of course, an increase in cost. To
Missouri river points the unlimited tick
cts have hitherto been $50 by any route.
Fromthe 1st prox. the cost by some of
the routes will be at least $40 more, and
by others $15 to 500 more. The rate on
unlimited tickets to Kansas City over
the Central Pacific will be the three fares
from this city to Ogden, from there to
Denver, and from Denver to Kansas
City, all added together. Via the At
lantic and Pacific it will be the cost to
Mojave and the cost thence to Albu-
querque, both added to the cost from
Albuquerque to Kansas City"
THE PICo STREET ROAD.
Mr.. Charles Wrenn, OF Pico Heights,
writes to the HERALD asking for news
about Pico street electric railroad.
The road in question is to some extent
involved in litigation. The Belt Elec-
trio road company has been negotiating
for it for some time, and it can be stated
almost officially, that if the title can be
cleared up, the Belt company will abb
sorb the line and operate it in connec-
tion with its other roads. These are the
facts in the case, as near as they can be
! got at. It is reasonable to suppose that
the Belt people will get the line, as it ia
worth more to them than it would be to
any other company.
NOTES.
On the Yuma division of the Southern
Pacific trains are on time and no washes 3
have occurred.
Local branches of the Santa Fe are re-
ported not to have suffered from the
rain.
The Terminal company is pushing
work on the East side levee. Grant
Brothers are doing the track grading.
The levee will be completed in about
sixty days, when track building to San
Pedro will begin.
The Southern Pacific company is en-
larging its depot facilities at Ontario, the
junction OF the new Chino branch.
1t is reported on good authority that
grading through the Cerritos tract will
begin very soon by the Terminal rail-
road company.
