Los Angeles herald., 1891-10-12

The Herald, says the Banning Jour
nal, firmly believes that inside of six
months work will be commenced on
line of railroad from Rattlesnake island
to Salt Lake City, by way of Banning.
Elk Mayor Workman, OF Los Angeles,
now president of the Terminal road,
left Tuesday for the east, to consult the
hackers of the road. The editor OF this
paper had a talk with Mr.. Workman
before his departure, and the whole
trend OF his conversation was that his
company wanted to get to Salt Lake
as soon as possible. His visit east re-
lates to that matter. We have the as
surance from the chief engineer of the
road that when the line is constructed
it will certainly be through Banning.
cARLsoN's LATEST.
Passengers coming in from Old Town,
says the San Diegan, had occasion to
rub their eyes hard and look again this
morning, for something had occurred
last night as if by magic-or by Carlson.
A railroad had been built in a single
night-a railroad from a mile and half
to a mile and three-quarters long, ex-
tending the entire distance across the
flats from near the California Southern
track to within a short distance from
Roseville. No one saw it built, but
there it was, with new ties laid in regu-
lar and substantial order and with rails
in place. The only conclusion that could
be reached was that Carlson was PRO
gressin'" with new scheme and had
in some way caused the road to be built
last night.
An effort was made to hunt up Carl
son today, but he could not be found.
He was as successfully hid as though he
was in bed after hard nights work.
The only substantial clew to the stub
born and evident fact of the railroads
existence is that some barges were seen
moving that way late yesterday after
noon.
What will be done tonight is not
known, but it is rather expected that
the San Diego and Eastern Terminal
will be finished from Old Town to D
street, and no one will now be surprised
ii it is extended right on and put into
operation to Yuma by the end OF this
week. As the irrepressible Carlson is
wont to say, Things are progressin'."
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC AT REDLANDs.
In conversation with gentleman con-
nected with the Southern Pacific road
this week we learned some points of in
terest to the public.
The supervisors have granted the
right of way for the line from the main
line OF the Southern Pacific road to Mr..
Curtis's corner in Old San Bernardino.
The only alteration that will be made
in the main line below town is to make
longer curve at the point of entrance
to the Barton tract.
The company has secured most of the
right OF way. There are yet two or
three property holders with whom the
company have not been able to make
terms.
The track will have three rails from
the Curtis corner to Redlands, so that
both motor and broad gauge cars can be
accommodated. 1t has not yet been de
termined whether the company will ex
tend the third rail for the motor tc
Grafton.
The representatives of the company
realise the Importance of the Yucaipa
country, and declare that before leaving
they will make thorough investiga-
ton and report to the company what
they believe should be done for that sec
ton.
The road will be completed within
thirty days after completion of right oil
way.-TRedlands Facts.
