Good News for Orange shippers-Pol-
lasky's Latest Purchase - The
Southern Pacific Coast
Line.

General Traffic and Passenger Agent
Hynes, of the Southern California road,
as will be seen in the editorial columns,
has, through his decision, secured for
orange shippers an indefinite extension
of the 80 cent per hundred weight
freight rate on oranges to Chicago COM
mon points. This is piece of news
that orange shippers will appreciate,
and which will secure for MIR. Hynes'
road large amount OF business.
THE L. A. AND p. SOLD.
The Los Angeles and Pacific railroad,
or what is left of it, has been sold to
Marcus Pollasky, the Fresno railroad
builder. The Exposition of Fresno says
of the matter:
Mr.. Pollasky has been offered a choice
bargain in the unfortunate Los Angeles
and Pacific rail DAD, which runs from
Los Angeles to Santa Monica eighteen
miles), and has an eight mile branch up
the San Fernando to Burbank, the de-
funct boom camp. He has accepted the
offer, and will straighten out the road
and revive the business thereof. The
road has been idle and in the hands of
receiver for over two years. 1t never
did pay, because its Los Angeles termi-
nus is away up the hill, near the Sisters
hospital. Ii it is extended down on the
earth with the other roads it will work
all right.
MIR. Pollasky's health is greatly i'm
paired by reason of too close application
to business, and in all probability he
will soon leave for the south and devote
a few weeks to regaining strength.
SAN DIEGO CUFF.
The last number OF the San Diego
Sun contains number of items advo-
eating the voting of bonds today for con-
structing county road east from San
Diego TO junction with the Southern
Pacific, the roadbed to be given to the
Southern Pacific company eventually if
they will lay rails on it. and operate it
as steam railroad. Among other i'm.
beetle statements in thegpaper are the
following:
''Whv should Los Angeles ruin labor
in San Diego county to defeat the bonds
if not to save trade for Los Angeles?"
LOS Angeles money is being spent in
San Jacinto to defeat the bonds, so as to
cripple San Diego"
If any Los Angeles money is being
used in the election, it is to carry the
bonds; nothing would suit Los Angeles
better than to have the project carried
through for them. All of San Diego's
business would be thrown into this city
where the Southern Pacific has its
largest interests, not to mention the
$l36. 700 wharf at Santa Monica.
THE COAST LINE.
The San Luis Obispo Tribune says
Mr.. HI. q. Phillips appeared in his ac-
customed haunts yesterday. He con-
firms the statement telegraphed to the
Tribune Yesterday that no contract had
yet been let by the Southern Pacific on
our railroad. He was, go informed by
the authorities in San Francisco. He
received, however, every encouragement
that work was to be promptly pushed.
From the examination of the COM
pany's attorneys, report of which has
been received by our committee, it ap-
pears that the right of way in this
county, as C nveyed to the company,
is practically free from objection. In
Santa Barbara county there are num-
Der Of flaws in the title which will have
to be corrected. This, however, will
not interfere with the prosecution Of the
work.
