SOUTHERN PACIFIC NoTABLEs.
The Southern Pacific nabobs, headed
by Mr.. Huntington, assistant to the
president, came to the city yesterday.
having, under the chaperonage OF SUPER
intendent j.. A. Muir, inspected the
Southern Pacific system in Southern
California. The party drove through
the city, called on the larger freight
shippers and enjoyed themselves inn
mensely.
1t was said that Mr.. Huntington was
charmed with the city, and it is barely
possible that the visit may result in a
more progressive policy in Southern
California. III the company could only
see the great necessity that exists for a
representative here who could have con-
siderable jurisdiction in traffic and
operating matters, it would be greatly
to its advantage. For example, if, as
was talked OF some weeks ago, Mr.. j. A.
Muir was to be made assistant general
superintendent, with headquarters here,
| the company would in six months make
more progress than it has in two years
| past. It'needs some one here who can
| decide most questions without referring
| them to officials in San Francisco who
are too far away, and too little ac-
ouainted with the situation here to take
| the proper point of view.
The party will leave today for the
north.
THE COAST LINE.
The Arroyo Grande Herald says:
While in San Luis on Wednesday we
interviewed Mr.. Sandercock and found
out some additional particulars of the
work of closing the gap" that have not
been published. He has finished his
contracts, but expects others later on.
! About 25 per cent of the roads built by
him are on the established grade, and
therefore one-fourth of the roadway
down the mountain is finished. Work
on the stone culverts on the east side OF
the mountain ia progressing rapidly, and
we are assured everything will be fin
ished over there in about month; and
then if the company sees fit they can
make short work of laying the rails to
tunnel No. /. The preparations are
about completed for rapid work on the
tunnels, and the public need not be sur.
prised to hear the blasting going on at
any time now.
