SANTA MONICA, May s.--Two tugs and
several scows put in an appearance at
Santa Monica bright and early yesterday
morning. After completing the arrange
ments for obtaining fresh water for the
tug, they steamed, up to the wharf site,
ready to commence sounding or for
wharf building, and from now on work
will be pushed on its construction.
TRAINS TO THE CANON,
All the trains went to the cafion to.
day, stopping in the hollow where the
freight depot is situated. and causing a
general howl from all our citizens who
asked the question II they had granted
the valuable franchises to the Southern
Pacific to have travellers simply whirled
through the town. All Santa Monicans
want to see the caflon built up, as
they do every other part of the territory
adjacent. They also believe that at
least half the trains, or half of each
train, should be run up to the old depot
ON the hill.
THAT INJUNCTION SUIT.
Your correspondent had an interview
today with Messrs. ChaffeY & Stanwood,
the two gentlemen who are attached in
the matter of the transfer of the
franchise, etc., of the Santa Monica
Terminal and Wharf company. They
state that everything was done in q
perfectly legal and fair manner to all
concerned, that they have not been
served with any papers in the case, and
that they do not believe work will be
stopped an hour in consequence. They
look upon it as case of bluff which will
not pan out when they are compelled to
show their hands.
