As the result of such earnest inquiry men
OF means nave sign flied their intention of
purchasing large quantity of the capital
stock.
The first thing to be considered in the
construction of a railroad is whether the
territory through which it will pass Is suf-
fciently productive to supply profitable
traffic. No one can doubt for a moment
that the San Joaquin Valley has sufficient
business. not only for its present railroads,
but for another one.
There is probably no like area Of terri
tory on this coast which will yield so large
and profitable traffic for a railroad Its
capacity for sustaining a large population
and an Increased transportation business
Is unsurpassed in any other portion OF this
continent.
In the valley through which the new
road will pass there are thousand of acres
of land not now under cultivation, large
portion of which is susceptible Of irriga-
ton and will be quickly populated upon
the completion of a competing railroad.
While horticulture has proved great
success 1t Is yet in its infancy.
On the mountain sides of the valley there
are at least two million acres of mill tim Der
of the choicest character only awaiting the
granting of reasonable rates to forward it
to market.
By the proper encouragement Of the
present industries and the introduction of
immigration it can be readily seen how
largely the traffic for the railroads may be
increased. The local traffic Of the valley
even under the present adverse circum-
stances Is enormous, and the proportion
for the new road will be ample TO pay rum
ming expenses and fair interest on its
capital stock.
The annual report of the Southern Pa
cifc for 1891 show that its gross earnings
in the San Joaquin Valley run at least
$4,000 mile. The reports from the State
of Iowa show that the roads earn less than
$4,000 mile, while in Kansas they earn
less than $1,000 mile.
After being convinced that tn ere Is suffi-
cieDt business for another railroad the

tional amount required for its construc-
tlon will find ready market
A conservative estimate places the
amount Of annual revenue derived by the
Southern Pacific from the San Joaquin
Valley ut $4,000. 900. and one-eiRhth of that
sum given to tire new road will meet all
operating expenses. fixed charges and pay
dividend OF per cent on the paid-up
capital.
The road which is destined to give re-
lief to the producers of the San Joaquin
Valley, recover to San Francisco mer-
chants tho vast trade which they have lost,
increase the value of real estate along its
line and regulate transportation charges in
all parts Of the State, can be built for the
small sum of $4,000 per mile and make
money for its stockholders.
some Of the doubling ones say that when
the new road is completed the Southern
Pacific will so reduce the rates that it
will be impossible to make operating ex-
penses. C. p. Huntington has done all
the rate-cutting that he can afford to do,
and to-day he is using every means at his
command to main tain rates and keep out
competition.
Millions of dollars of Southern Pacific
bonds still remain unsold and are drug
on the market. Other interests have been
sacrificed to meet the interest on bonds
that are outstanding, and consequently the
Southern Pacific Is in no condition to enter
upon war on rates.
The people of the valley have not hest
tated to express themselves. They stand
ready to pledge themselves to give the new
road not an eighth Of their business-all
that is required to make the enterprise a
success-but every dollar Of their bust
ness.
They fully understand that they are
being taxed to pay the interest on millions

pie and operated by them for their own in

Its construction means. as it has been
stated by THE CALL before the opening
wedge for relieving the State from the grip
of the most rrasping monopoly that ever
fastened itself upon the people OF any
country.
That the Southern Pacific realizes that
the people have at last prepared TO renei
against its tyranny is plainly seen IN all
the actions of its officials. NO longer able
to buy up every competing line. 1t resorts
to attempting in advance to prevent the sale
OF the new company's bonds. 1t will not
succeed. however, for the roac mas so many
advantages in its favor as money-maklng
enterprise that the bond-buyers of the
country will not hesitate to purchase its

The road is such favorable proposition
that 1t is confidently believed that full con-

next question that will present itself to
the investor Is what will the cost be?
A railroad can be constructed from
Stockton to Bakersfield at very small
EXPENSE. and its operation will be as eco
nomical as in any portion OF the United
States. 1t will pass through almost en-
tirely level country. the grade at o point
exceeding sixteen feet to the mile.
With the view of learning just what
Grade must be encountered in the con-
struction of the new road, and what 1t
will cost for each mile. CALL represen-
tatiye has interviewed a number OF COM
petent civil engineers and practical rail-
road builders. In presenting their figures
the highest estimate will be used, and
even under such conditions the enterprise
invites the cooperation OF every shrewd
and careful investor.
The line as shown by the alignment
me- D is practically level between Stockton
and Bakersfield. Stockton Is at an eleva-
ton of tW enty-three feet above low tide at
Suisun Bay. Lathrop, the next station up
the line, is nine miles distant and has an
elevation of twenty-six feet-.033 of l per
cent grade.
From Lathrop to Modesto, distance of
twenty-one miles, there is per cent of
.O57, the highest on the entire line. From
Modesto to MERGED. n distance of thirty
eight miles, the per cent is .04. From
MERGED to Fresno. forty-five miles. the per
cent is .055 From Fresno to Hanford,
thirty miles, .02 per cent; from Hanford
to Bakersfield, seventy-seven miles, .043
per cent
From Stockton to Bakersfield. as shown
by the alignment map, the distance is 900

miles and the grade is .O23 OF l per cent
considered by railroad builders to mean
almost level. This is considered the
maximum grade for the entire line It ia
true that there are few hills to climb, but
in no instance will they exceed sixteen feet
to the mile.
One of the greatest expenses that will
attach to the road will be the necessity for
bridges and trestle-work. At least seven
bridges will be needed, and numerous
pieces OF trestle-work over sloughs and IT.
rigation bitches will be required. To off
set such expense there will be no costly
tunnels required. and no expensive grading.
While the mileage for the entire line has
been placed at 900 miles. tho cost per mile
has been placed upon basis of 255 miles,
allowing the excess for yard and switch
tracks.
Those who are conversant with the cost
Of railroad construction will perceive that

to construct the Southern Pacific but to
enrich private individuals, as we'll as the
losses sustained by the company upon un-
productive mileage.
There Is no diminution In the interest
manifested by the public in the new road,
and there is no doubt that it will be con-
structed. Yesterday the committees ap-
pointed to solicit subscript ions held a
meeting. and all of its members expressed
the greatest satisfaction at the manner In
which they had been received by the
public.
In large number of cases they did not
urge immediate subscriptions. but were
satisfied to obtain promises Of aid. To-day
they will start out for the purpose of Sc
curing the signatures of those who have
agreed to take stock. and 1t is expected that
within few days the amount subscribed
can be made public.

According to the estimate presented the
entire cost OF the road will not exceed

mileage OF tho Southern Pacific through
the same territory is bonded and capital
ICED for fully $12.OO0.0O0. and must collect
freight enough to pay interest upon that
amount and fixed charges.
One million dollars in cash contributed
by the people of San Francisco and the
