The Southern Pacific at Work on Its
Coast Line


Coast Line.
According to programme, the working
corps OF the Southern Pacific engineers
arrived at Santa Margarita last evening.
says the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
There were, we learn, fifteen OF the
party, and it took special car to carry
their paraphernalia. This morning,
then, we can make the definite an
nouncement that work has commenced
on the railroad. Hitherto we have fre-
quently had parties of Southern Pacific
surveyors and engineers sent down to
make preliminary surveys, reconnois-
sances, and to run experimental lines !;
but this outfit is here for a different
purpose. Their work is an integral part
of the construction OF the road, and they
merely precede the army OF laborers
who are to lay down the road and bore
the tunnels. 1t is the actual beginning
of the end.
We learn, also, that the contracts
called for by the Southern Pacific COM
pany for the tunnel work were duly let
on Monday, so that now as fast as men
can be put to work adyantageously, the
construction will proceed, Everything
now tends to indicate that work will be
pushed with the utmost rapidity, and
the recent intimation that the road
would be absolutely completed to this
city by the 1st of July next is probably
entirely correct and within bounds.
Ii the present population of San Luis
Obispo survives until the 1st of July
next, it will be in order to have cele-
bration that will cause some disturb
ance throughout the state.
