GROWING STRONG.

One Hundred and Fifty Names Added to
the Traffic Association Roll.
The Executive Committee OF the Traffic
Association is meeting with much success
in securing the signatures of large mercan-
tile firms to the membership roll of the asso-
clation. President Stetson made canvass
of the city yesterday and procured $50 new
signatures. Not one refusal to sign has
YET been met with" said he yesterday.
I'VE are going ahead steadily, pushing this
matter, and we have employed E. W.
Keeler to assist in making the canvass of
business houses for membership. Some
lines have not yet been asked to cooperate,
but the canvass will be made thoroughly
and all will have the opportunity to join
the association. Nothing will be made pub
lie concerning the appointment of the traf-
tic manager by the committee until tile
appointment has been made and accepted.
Then the fact will be given out" The
work in the interior of the State has been
begun, and a canvass was being made in
Fresno yesterday.
l. r. Wilbur, whose name has been nti-
mately connected with tranScontinental rail-
way projects, has returned from an eX-
tended trip East. He has many friends
among railroad and banking men East, and
his general impression is that each time he
| visits them they show more earnest interest
in all that pertains to California. For some
| years Mr. Wilbur In connection with
| Timothy Paige and others, has been pushing
| the San Francisco and San joaquin Valley
Railway project, which the shrewdiy wise
! have predicted would become the western
terminus of the great Santa Fe system. As
to the results of his trip in this regard Mr..
| Wilbur declined to talk, simply saying the
| project is far from being dead, but will some
day be heard from.
The Oregon Express, due here yesterday
at S:15 o'clock in the forenoon. was three
hours behind time. 1t WAS delayed by a
landslide that covered the track in the Cow
Greek Canyon in the Siskyou Mountains.
Reports tell of heavy rains recently in tina I
part of the country. 1t was in this canyon
that the track was covered and washed
away two years ago. Some of the track
| then buried was never disturbed, but new
| route was constructed where it was con-
| sidered there was reason to fear slide or
wsshout. The special car of Henry Willard
| of the Northern Pacific was attached to the
