Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL.

Editor Morning Call /: All during the
summer and fall months the small boy and
girl have been filled with wonder to see the
names of far-away places marked on the
freight-cars at the depot. There have been
cars from Oregon, Tucson, Kansas, Gal
weston and Dennison, Texas, Santa Fe, Des
Moines, Chicago, New Orleans, New York,
etc.. to be filled with green and dried fruit,
wine. hops. ETC. This Is the first season
they have come direct to Healdsburg, and
children who are just becoming interested
In the study of geography find a sort of
practical lesson spread out before them. and
they enjoy tracing on the map the route
this and that car will have to take to reach
its destination.
The freight-car connection between the
San francisco and North Pacific Railroad
and the Southern Pacific Railroad is made
at ShellviIle, little village few miles
from the town of Sunoma. But passengers
who wish to go from here or from the upper
part OF this valley to the counties of Yolo,
Colusa, Sacramento. etc., or oyerla nd to any
place east of this part of the country, make
the connection at Santa Rosa, if they do not
wish to go via San francisco This connec-
ton at Santa Rosa is very unsatisfactory.
For instance, person wishes to 60 Sacra-
mento. He leaves Healdsburg at 1921 In
the morning; arriving at Santa Rosa thirty
five minutes later. he finds that the Sacra-
mento traln-or. to be more accurate, the
tram that meets the Sacramento train at
Napa Junctiou-has feen gone for nearly
halt an hour, and that he has to remain in
Santa Rosa until ? in the afternoon, thereby
losing six hours of valuable time. And this
is not all AT Napa Junction there is
tedious wait OF flOm 10 to 80 minutes, at
Suisun another wait, and the tired traveller
reaches Sacramento at $3.50 in the evening:
whereas, had ne reached Santa Rosa in time
10 catch the first or morning train on the
Carquinez Railroad he would have arrived
In Sacramento before IL o'clock noon. 1t
Is the wish OF our people that the Southern
Paclhc Railroad Company would run their
lines to Healdsburg or would at least
allow us to make closer connections at
Santa Rosa. All of this upper valley would
appreciate the advantages thus gained. and
havel would increase in a corresponding
ratio.
