Talk About the Santa Fe's Pro-
posed New Depot.

pectedly Break Down.
General Manager Wade Hopeful About
the Depot-Baseless Attacks on
the Electric Company.
Low Rates.

General Manager K. H. Wade, of the
Southern California company, is hope
full that shortly he will receive word
from the head Offices in Chicago, that
the new depot, long talked of to replace
the present inadequate one at First
street, has been decided upon.
1t took Mr.. Wade only forty days to
rebuild the company's station at Bar
stow, recently destroyed by fire, and it
is large and handsome edifice. If he
takes hold of the work Of building q
commodious and suitable depot at First
street, it will be put up very promptly.

Low RATES POSTPONED.
1t is not likely that the contemplated
rate war between the Canadian Pacific
and the Southern Pacific will be carried
out. The two roads commenced to
equabble in the meeting of the Trans
continental association, and the former
threatened to commence cutting rates on
the 10th instant.
1t was learned yesterday, however,
from official sources that the Canadian
road had just given notice to the other
transcontinental lines that the freight
rates proposed for the 10th would be
deferred. As stated, this virtually with
draws all immediate prospect of reduced
rates, as a ninety day notice is required.
THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
The way the electric road has been
treated since it commenced operations
in this city is not at all creditable to
this city. General Sherman organized
the company, spent upward of 1000, 900
here, at time when every dollar put
into circulation was worth So to the
business interests of the city, and i'm
mediately guerrilla warfare was COM
menced, and his enterprise attacked in
| every conceivable way. The general
maintained his position, however, and
has overcome all the attempts made to
injure him and his company, and the
result is that the city has superb
street-car service.
On Wednesday night the pumps in
the power house unexpectedly gave out,
owing to the plungers having become
worn, and the defect not being observed.
Traffic in consequence was suspended.
yesterday, but, it is hoped, will be re-
sumed this morning.
This little contretemps was made the
basis of another malicious attack on
the company's credit yesterday, the ru-
NOR being started from some ignoble,
malevolent source that the company's
funds were exhausted, and that it could
not pay for it's fuel. The story is, oi
course, completely baseless, and was
made out of whole cloth. The company
/ is doing an excellent business, owes nc
money, has the interest on its bondt
paid in advance for over two years, and
is in all ways solid. 1t is shame that
rascals are allowed to attempt to injurt
great institutions of this city. If the
origin of the false stories that have beer
circulated about the company could bt
traced to their source, there would bt
ample excuse for the offender being
driven out Of the city at once.
