Emigrant Rates-Raiiroad News.

YUMA, Arlz., FeD. Z4.-The work of
relocating and rebuilding the Southern
Pacific track west of here on the section
that suffered so severely from last years
floods, has been practically completed.
The first section of seventeen miles was
opened six weeks ago, and the second
section of nine miles will be open in
day or two. This portion of the road
has been subject to annual washouts,
causing much expense and delay. The
bed has now been raised some twenty
feet, and many trestles constructed to
allow the free passage of flood water.
1t was recently decided to build eight
more miles OF new track to the west of
that already completed, and work on
this will begin at once. The work has
taken six months and cost 81, ,OOO, 900.
1t is thought there will be no more
trouble from floods.
EMuGRANT PASSENGER RATES.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-Information
has been received from W. A. Bissell,
general passenger agent of the Atlantic
and Pacific road, from Chicago, that
Traffic Manager White of his system
has appealed from the decision of the
Transcontinental association against his
request for authority to make rate OF
$14.S0 from the Missouri river to San
Francisco on second-class emigrant
traffic. An appeal is made to the board
of commissioners of the Western Traffic
association. White is of the opinion
that the commissioners will agree with
him and order the reduction in rate as
requested.
THE FRESNO RAILROAD BUILDER.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-Marcus Pol
lasky, the Fresno railroad builder, is in
this city on his way to Eureka, where
he expects to find backing in developing
that region. He says: "What the peo-
pie up there want and most need is
road from Eureka to Red Bluff in Te-
hama county. The local road, che Eel
River and Eureka road, now extends in
that direction twenty-three miles, leav-
ing 120 miles to be completed. The in
ducements for building this line, which
for several months have been held out
to me, are ample terminal grounds and
valuable lands upon the harbor, rights
of way from Eureka to Red Bluff
through the counties of Humboldt,
Trinity and Tehama, and cash
subsidy of 100000. OF this
subsidy Humboldt county will sive
$4,000 and Red Bluff will give $780,
000 These inducements would seem to
be sufficiently inviting to justify taking
! hold of the enterprise with strong
hand, but l am not unmindful of the
| fact that railroad construction in. Cali
! fornia is very expensive. / shall make
careful examination of the situation as
represented to me during my brief stay
in that region of the country, shall weigh
\ with caution all the inducements that
fnow seem to be 30 inviting, and if the
1 facts are as they have been represented
to me and the conditions are as favor
4 able as have been led to believe, then
! | shall at tonce proceed to take the neces-
sary steps to build the desired railroad"
