pressing their pleasure at meeting the
representative of such an enterprise,
has wished me success, and some OF

aid.
By publishing the foregoing in your
enterprieing paper you will much oblige
one VINO believes that he offers to Los
Angeles the participation in an enter

to her citizens.
THE COAST LINE.
The long-expected order to complete
the railroad gap between Santa Mar
garita and San Luis Obispo has been
issued by Coils p Huntington, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Work will be
commenced as soon as possible. The
road has had small force of laborers
down there for several months past, but
the number will be largely increased
and earnest work will be commenced.
1t will be long time, however, before
the gap is completed, as there are con-
siderable engineering difficulties to be
overcome. In the 16 miles of road there
will he no less than 10 tunnels, one of
which will be over mile in length.
The railroad officials say that it will be
many years before the line pays, but it
will be built in Difference to the wishes
OF the people of the Santa Clara valley,
who have long desired an outlet by that
route, and also in accordance with the
desires of San Luis Obispo and the sur
rounding country. This road viii give
San Luis Obispo direct railroad "om-
munication with the outside world,
something it does not now possess, as
the steamer route to San Francisco and
San Pedro ia about the only means of
communication.
PERsoNAGES AT REDONDo.
The Southern California road has
made arrangements to handle very
large passenger business between this
city and Redondo today.
Two famous bands are to be there
the National Mexican military band,
and United States First Cavalry band,
from Fort Grant.
Gov. Luis Torres, of Lower California,
and his staff, will also be at the big ho-
tel. besides Gen. Med. McCook, of the
department of Arizona, and his staff.
NOTES.
The Southern California showed great
enterprise in putting on four special
trains to Santa Ana on Friday, the day
of the great McKinney-Silkwood race.
The result was that they carried 5000
passengers. They advertised the event
literally, and in consequence captured
the business.
The green fruit shipments for the
state for the month up to and including
Tuesday were 787 carloads, as compared
with 736 in the same month of 1891.
For the season thus far last year the
shipments amounted to 2645 carloads,
and for the current season the ship
ments have reached total of 3206.
Two months ago this years shipments
were behind last, owing to the lateness
of the season, but now, as these figures
show, the difference has been more than
made up.
The twelfth annual convention of the
Young Mems Christian associations of
this state will be held in Pasadena, from
October 18th to 10th. A special excur-
sion will be ran from San Francisco,
leaving by the Los Angeles limited ex-
press Tuesday evening, October 11th, at
5 80 o'clock, foot of Market street.
Rather curious incident was brought
to the attention of HERALD reporter
yesterday. F. w. Whitcomb was an
employe of the San Gabriel Valley Rail-
way company when its line was leased
by the Terminal. Whitcomb sued the
San Gabriel Valley road for wages he
claimed to be due, and the latter, as q
result, requested the Terminal company
to discharge him, which was done. Now
Whitcomb proposes to sue the San Ga
briel company for damages in having
him deprived OF his employment, alleg-
ing conspiracy.
