SANTA MONICA.

There seems to be no let up to the
many improvements shortly to be inau-
gurated in that productive section of
sunland which lies between the city and
the sea on the line OF the Cahuenga
foothills-the frostless belt, which will
be the future home of many we'll to do
and cultivated citizens. The move
ments of the Southern Pacific at Santa
Monica the readers of the HERALD
have had full particulars of as the outlines
of the scheme have progressed. The
engineers are on the ground with COM
plete grading outfit and work in that
section will be commenced Immediately.
Besides the railroad and wharf building,
which means untold wealth for that
section as it also means great CONNER
sial precedence for this city, the South
ern Pacific, in the parlance of the day,
mean to force the fighting and to push
Southern California to the front as she
has never been in the past.
Besides the railroad improvements
enumerated above, the large ranches
will all be subdivided in the immediate
neighborhood, and this immense tract
will in the near future be studded with
homes.
A large stock company is in course of
formation to develop: water in Coldwa-
ter caf1on, where it is asserted by ex-
perts that between three and four
thousand feet of water can be secured
for the use of the denizens. The old
timers will bear us out that Henry Han
cock demonstrated beyond the shadow
of doubt that there was an under
ground river of great magnitude rum
ming from the CaEuenga foothills to the
sea, and Ballona slough was filled by
seepage from the same. The site select
ed for the reservoir is 600 feet above
Los Angeles, and it will have ample
storage capacity to supply Los Angeles
as well as the immense territory ada
cent, if necessity requires.
