THE RAILROADS.
Only a Question of Time to
Redlands,
But 1t Disturbs the Santa Fe
Officials.
Mr.. Marcus POllasky Visits Santa
Monica.
An Optimistic Report of His Stay at the
Beach-The Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe Fighting at Red
lands-News Notes.

Tie Southern Pacific company yester-
day issued its new time table, which in
cludes its branch to Redlands, and what
it indicates in the way of time was found
not at all pleasing by the officials of the
Southern California road.
The Southern Pacific trains, the table
shows, will make the trip in about 40
minutes less time than those of the
Southern California road, fact which
is likely to seriously impair the latter's
passenger business.
General Freight Agent Hynes, of the
Southern California, yesterday said, in
reply to a HERALD reporters query, that
no decision had been reached by his
company as to a remedy, but from the
conversation the reporter gathered the
idea that a special cannon ball' train
would be put on to bring che time down
to the Southern Pacific standard.
This little coup of the Southern Pacific
has not contributed in any way to the
lessening of the tense relations between
the roads, and is the first retaliatory ac-
tion of the Southern Pacific since the re-
cent moves have been made by the
Southern California, which have had
the air of being aggressive to degree.
MARCUS PoLLAsKY AT SANTA MONICA.
The HERALD's Santa Monica corre-
spondent sends the following:
Mr.. Marcus Pollasky, who will un-
doubtedly rejuvenate the Los Angeles
and Pacific road, spent Friday at Santa
Monica, accompanied by Mr.. A. G..
Booth of San Francisco. During their
short stay the gentlemen studied public
opinion on the deal very thoroughly,
and Mr.. Pollasky went away convinced
that the citizens of the city by the sea
will do everything they can to aid him
in his undertaking.
1t would do the most obdurate pessim-
ist good 70 talk with Mr.. Pollasky for
few moments, he being full OF inform
alton in respect to future railroad de-
velopments. and more than sanguine
over Santa Monica's future prospects.
AS he put it, SIN time Santa Monica
will excel any other port on the coast
in commercial Importance outside of
San Francisco, and as the southern
country develops it will given the city
of the Golden Gate astussle for the first
place."
1t seems to your correspondent that
Mr.. Pollasky is working in the interest
of another transcontinental line. One
thing is sure: Santa Monica will have
three railroads bringing passengers and
trade to the town before the end of
June 1 and two wharves with the ocean
commerce coming to our warehouses,
and being distributed from this point
all over Southern California and ada
cent territory.
SANTA FE VS.. SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
REDLANDs, Cal, Jan. 30.-Still an
other phase of the Santa FeSouthern
Pacific fight over the right-of-way from
Redlands to Grafton station, has been
developed The Santa Fe recently
stopped the Southern Pacific on the
claim that the latter's road was on the
Santa Fe's right-of-way. The Southern
Pacific bought around the contested
spot, and Yesterday went ahead with
building, having obtained from the
owners OF the land the right to proceed.
The Santa F6 people, not knowing this,
cific company's line, and last night
work, ran a spur across the Southern
Pacific line on to this lot, again block
ing the way of the Southern Pacific, and
at the same time getting from the su-
perior court an injunction which will
probably be dismissed when the true
state Of affairs is presented.
