stone depot at the foot of First street. )
said man closely connected with the
Santa Fe railroad, yesterday, to HER
AID representative. when Mr.. Man.
vel was here few weeks ago, he gave
the necessary orders, and that is what
these big piles of stones mean about the
yard. 1t will be located close to the
First-street viaduct, and will cost, it is
estimated. $4,000, so you can Judge il
will be fine edifce."
General Manager K. HI. Wade, it was
known to the reporter, has persistently
urged the construction of such a struc-
ture, and he was asked about the truth
of the above story. 81 wish it was cor.
rect" Mr.. Wade said, "but nothing has
been decided about the matter as vet.
though it will be settled inside of the
next thirty days. have long
urged the necessity on the company
of proper depot in this city, and when
Mr.. Marvel was here it was pressed
upon his attention. He has had a
number of plans sent to him, and as
said, will give his decision in short
time. That is the way the matter
stands at present, but what the out
come will be no one can tell"
NOT GOING NORTH.
''Those dispatches from Washington
published in the San Francisco Call,
stating that the Santa Fe would soon
commence extending their road to that
city, is all in your eye. know posi-
lively that such thing will not be done
ok
residing in this city who is we'll posted
ing, he said: "That they will Ultimate
ly extend the road to San Francisco
there is no doubt, but it will not be in
side OF two years; they are not in
financial condition at present to un-
dertake the building of such an extern
sion, besides they have contract with
the Southern Pacific which precludes
their building into San Francisco with
out two years. notice being given the
contract also gives the Santa Fe the
right, at any time, to run their trains
over the Southern Pacific track to Oak
land. OF course, if they desired to get up
north, they could get an outside corpor.
alton to build the road, and then ab-
sorb it; but as / said before, such
thing will not be done for the present.
Ii instead of building to Chicago they
had taken the money and extended the
line to San Francisco, they would be
great deal better off; it could have been
built for about one-half what the Chi
cago road cost, and know that the Off
cials of the road regret now that they
did not do 30.
1t will not do Los Angeles any good to
have the Santa Fe in San francisco, for
the reason that the headquarters would
be removed from here to that city, and
in various others ways it would affect
US.
SANTA FE EXHIBIT RATES.
General Freight Agent s. B. Hynes OF
the Southern California railroad has is-
sued circular relative to rates on ex-
hibits for state, county, district or local
fairs. in which the following assertion is
made :sfs
Shipments, except racehorses, will be
returned free to the original point of
shipment on this line, under the follow
ing rules:
Original paid expense bill accompanied
with certificate from the secretary of
the fair association, stating that the
property was on exhibition and has not
changed ownership. The agent will
note on his forwarding way bill refer
ence to the incoming way-bill on which
freight was assessed, holding the ex-
pense bill and certificate as his author
ity for making freight free on the re-
turning shipment.
Those who have paid freight charges
to the fair on perishable freight which
is worthless for re-shipment may have
the same refunded by the receiving
agent, provided they surrender the orig
inal paid expense bill accompanied bya
certificate from the fair association to
the effect that the property was on ex-
hibition but is now worthless for re-
shipment, owing to its perishable ma
ture.
A GOOD SHOWING.
Mr.. Jeffery, general manager of the
Denver & Rio Grande R. R. Co., in the
course of recent address, said:
'The first shipment of raisins from
California was made in 1873 and con-
sisted of 780 pounds, while for the year
1891 the total shipment of California
raisins over the Southern Pacific COM
pany reached 18, ,801 tons. Prior to 1880
no citrus fruite were transported thence
by rail. while in 1891 that railroad
transported 1892 tons. OF green and
deciduous fruits but 800 car loads were
carried in 1881, while in 1891 there were
forwarded 1899 car loads. In 1880 the
gardens Of California sent $40 car loads
of vegetables to consumers east of the
Sierra Nevadas, while in 1891 there were
3740 car loads carried to the same mar
kets."

It cheaper to get their lumber through
the medium of the Newport Wharf and

over 400O sacks of barley are stored in
