up in the near future. His honor, ex-
Mayor Workman, on Friday evening
will tell the chamber of commerce all
about the line projected by Salt Lake
people, and the advantage it would be
to Los Angeles.
Besides, there is known to be another
scheme in which that able manipulation,
Lester F. Scott, is interested. Exactly
what his plan is is not known, but 1T is
fairly certain that Mr.. Scott and his
hackers are hard at work and will be
ready to talk soon.
THE PENINSULA ROAD.
r. A. Graham returned from San
Quintin this morning, says the San
Diego Sun, on the steamer South Coast.
Mr.. Graham has nothing new to say in
regard to railroad building upon the
peninsula. In the Office of the company
here in the city there are three engi-
neers at work drawing plans for the new
sections, etc. Chief Engineer Earle
himself is engaged on the plan of
bridge across Tia Juana river. Several
other bridge plans are nearly finished.
The drawings and perspectives for the
depot and warehouses at San Quintin
are completed and work on these build
ings will begin next week. They will
cost about $3000 and the depot especi-
ally will be good, substantial building.
A part of the lumber is already on the
ground and more will arrive in few
DAYS. In the paymaster's department
hof ha roll
for October will be ready by November
18th, and will probably be in the neigh
borhood of $2S 900, or trifie larger than
that for September.
THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
The cause of the Traffic association,
says the Chronicle, is being steadily adj
vanced by the local merchants who are
taking the lead in the movement. E. w.
Keller, the solicitor for the merchants,
reports that he is meeting with success
in his endeavors to get signatures to the
roll, but that it will take some time to
make thorough canvass. President
Stetson was too ill yesterday to make
any further effort, but he will go to work
again toward the end of the week, it is
believed, and will attend to many mat
tiers OF detail now in his hands.
A gentleman from Fresno says that
she merchants there are watching with
much interest the movement inaugur-
ated here, and they have already
begun the work Of organizing
their cooperative association. 1t has
been proposed to the upper San
Joaquin shippers that they can force the
Santa Fe to build local line into their
territory by refusing to ship any freight
over the Santa Fe road until they have
given promise to construct the road
from Mojave north to Stockton and San
Francisco. The shippers have been
given to understand that as long as the
Santa Fe lives up to its traffic contract
with the Southern Pacific company, it
will not extend its line from Mojave. 1t
is known fact that since the organiza-
ton OF the Traffic association here, the
feeling has been strong among the mer-
chants to so work affairs as to bring
about the completion of the Santa Fe
line to this city. Some of the leaders of
the movement have given orders to
have all their freight shipped by the
Sunset, in the hope OF making the Santa
F6 find it necessary to build to this
city. They say that while they feel that
this is rough on the Santa Fe agents, it
is the only way in which they can in
huence the extension.
