Pa lilo Observation-Disclosures.

The Santa Fe officials seem to be we'll
disposed towards the proposition made
by the Pomona people to build road
from North Pomona, through Pomona,
to Chino, but it is not probable that any
thing will be done in the matter until
President Marvel reaches here. 1t Is
doubtful if he will authorize the con-
struction, however, as he is not so much
OF a constructor Of new roads as operator
of old ones, and as a matterof fact, the
company has little money to spend just
now ) 1t has number of branches
which 1t has to operate and which do
not pay interest on the cost of the axle
grease used ON the wheels OF the care.
That the Chino branch would pay and
would pay well cannot be questioned by
those familiar with the situation, but
the board Of directors will not be apt to
see it that way. They want dividends
before they build any more roads.
A San Diego Plant.
The San Diego papers keep up pretty
constant kick against the management
of the Santa Fe, which they accuse of
trying to aid Los Angeles at the expense
of the city of Baynclimate. The Union
of that place Monday says "Ifthe Santa
Fe company could arrange to run over
land trains into and from this city
without going via Los Angeles it would
be greatly appreciated. The out
going train does not pass through that
city but proceeds via Orange and River
side. The incoming train goes straight
to Los Angeles, and in consequence
hundreds of persons intending to visit
San Diego get off there and do not come
at all. Now it is OF little, if any, advan-
tage to have the east-bound train evade
Los Angeles. What is needed though ,is
direct overland train to this city, one
that will not take San Diego passengers
to the larger city first and there drop
them, as is the case too frequently. San
Diego has interests to be protected, and
| if the company could accommodate our
/! people by the suggested change, it would
be greatly appreciated. The improve
ment ought to be made whether the
company see fit to do it or not"
whether the company see fit to do it
or not" is good, very good.
Union Pacific Economics.
The Union Pacific is cutting down ex-
penses all along its line, and in conse-
quence the princely-salaried young men
in the Office in this city are in more
or less uneasy condition.
The. order has been issued to abolish
the general Offices of that road in Port
land, and the freight agent will hence
forth have to take care of the business,
which throws number of talented
young railroad men on the cold world.
Notes.
A Raymond excursion arrived last
evening.
President Manvel is due here some
time this week.
Twolarge railroad schemes are nearing
ripeness; both center in this city.
1t is about settled that the Chino mar
row gauge road will be extended to Ana
helm, Santa Ana and Newport Landing.
The Southern Pacific has all the freight
business it can take care of. The west
bound passenger traffic is also taxing its
capacity.
The westbound Southern Pacific over
land express was five hours late last
evening, owing to a delay at FL Paso
waiting for the New Orleans train. A
special was made up and sent north on
time.
The men interested in the Belt Elec-
trio road of this city are anxiously
awaiting the result OF the legislators
action on the legality OF their franchises.
The work of construction is meanwhile
in a abeyance
