Tie policy of the Sout hern Pacific seems
TO be fully well understood in San Diego.
The Union of that city recently had au in
terview with a prominent resident of
Arizona IN which he described the course
Of the Southern Pacific in respect to the
Santa Fe, Prescott and Ph9nix Railway
Company, which was organized 10 build
route from the Atlantic and Pacific to
Pf9nix. As soon as the Santa Fe, Prescott
and PrGnix began to take tangible shape
the Southern Pacific announced its in
tention to connect with the Santa Fe
system. The Arizona man continues:
Did It ever build a foot Of the road ? Not
much. The whole game was biuff 10 keep
rivals out Of the field. . q. The same bluff
game j. being attempted against the San Diego
aud PhenlX road. The Southern Pacific Will
hold Oh 10 its field In Southern Arizona TO the
last gasp. II 1t cannot bluff out the San Diego
ana Phguix 1t Will try 10 buy it out or block It's
rght-oi-way. The only sure way of getting
road through 20 Phoenix is to steer clear of the
Southern Pacific, ignore It's operations, dis
credit all It's assumed friendliness and stick to
the Independent San Diego and Phoenix Com
pauy.
The line of action the resident Of Arizona
recommends to San Diego should be fol
