Or. +. L. Prowell returned yesterday
morning from three weeks visit to
the coast, the greater part of his time
having been spent at San Diego. As
his visit was solely one of pleasure and
recreation he had plenty of time and
opportunity to take observations in the
Bsy City, which just now is of greater
interest to Ph9nicians than any other
city this side OF the New Jerusalem,
not excepting Chicago.
The first question propounded to the
PDpncan is, "Well, how are you
coming on with your end OF the road ?"
and ii the answer is less enthusiastic
thsn the interrogatory, the San Diegan
takes on look OF surprise. Well he
NAV, for at that end the road is a thing
fully agreed upon. There is just now
stronger evidence of the success OF
the project than the most powerful
faith. The right OF way has been OBJ.
aned, there have been numerous
voluntary contributions of work on the
usde which has been already COM
menced, there is definite assurance
that the bonds will be sold within
few days and ten miles of track and
ties are on the ground ready to be laid.
All this is certainly sufficient to create
enthusiasm. Another impetus to the
project is soon expected. Claus
SpreCkels' friend mess to it has been
uIconcealed and it has been learned
that he IS even more directly
interested in it than by reason OF
bis extensive possessions at San Diego

boxing forward earnestly to the COM
pellOn OF the road to Yuma. HIS
hmily has recently arrived at the
Coronado hotel and he is expected there
within a week. He is the owner of a
large amount OF railroad material which
% his arrival will be turned over to the
San Diego ( Phoenix.
The commerce OF San Diego is con-
SANITY increasing. The Pacific mail
:eamers anchor there regularly as do
the coast steamers and the chartered
tonnage is more than double that OF
year ago. Notwithstanding the pre-
uiIns dizziness throughout Southern
California San Diego Is suffering less
than any other town and tau building
Movement in the direction of boih re-
;Ience and business structures almost
approaches boom. There are as at
most Of the coast towns great many
empty houses but not nearly so many
