Your correspondents "kick" in the |
HERALD about our miserable mail SER
vice and asking "why not have the |
Terminal carry our mails" is bearing |
fruit. Postmaster Charles of this place |
is my authority for saying that in the
course of few weeks (about a month)
the Terminal will be bringing us at |
least one of the mails per day.
A special train on the Terminal came
down Wednesday evening in charge of
Conductor Charlie Judge, bringing the |
following party of distinguished railroad
magnates Col. Geo. e. Leighton, j. G.
Van Blarcom, S. A. Bemis, s. M. Dodd
and George Leighton, jr., of st. Louis;
General Manager T. B. Burnett, Direct
ors w. H. Workman and Dan McFar-
land. They were accompanied by the
following well-known citizens of Los
Angeles: Maj. II. G. Lee and A. L.
Grant. The gentlemen were mum as re-
CARDS their intentions.
The Santa Fe, with its traffic arrange
ment with the Terminal, giving them
the use of their track, and their own
line pushing into Long Beach from Santa
Ana, seeking stopping point, will give
Redlands, Riverside, Orange. Tustin,
Santa Ana, Anaheim and the score OF
other little towns on it's route direct |
communication with Long Beach, and
the Terminal, with the acquisition of |
the Rapid Transit and Altadena rail-
roads, gives Pasadena and all that |
thickly populated country within ra-
dius of twenty miles of it easy access to
this place, something which they never
had before.
