No Extension on the Clear Lake
Division This Summer.

Surveys for an extension on the Clear
Lake division of the Southern Pacific, from
Runsey to the Clear Lake country, were
made three or four years ago. and every
summer the air in that vicinity is full of
construction talk. A gentle granger brought
the rumor down this year, and soon after
his visit the wheat men of Lake County
saw by the papers" that the Southern Pa
cifc had decided to extend the line to Lake
port. Mr.. Croker denies that such extern
sion is contemplated. Construction mat
tiers. said he, will be extremely quiet with
this company in all parts OF the State until
such time as an increase of population in the
agricultural districts shall make branch
lines necessary and profitable.
a careful investigation OF the rumors
concerning combination between the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad and the British Column
hia Steamship Company for handling ORR
entail traffic proves them to have been with
out foundation. The last mentioned COM
pany is merely a local line, backed by the
Vancouver Board of Trade. aud renting it's
equipment from the East India Royal Mail
Company. The Vancouver people are sat
isfpd with the business now being done be-
tween that city and the port of San Fran
cisco. They have not sought any combina-
ton with the Canadian Pacific, and no over
lures from the railroad company TO this end
have been made.
