Elliptic Road-Ths Plan Outlined.
San BERNARDIEo, May 20.-The South
ern Pacific has decided to extend its line
to this city, and the people are rejoicing
over the fact. They see in the future a
railroad war and cut rates on freight
and passengers. II has been learned
from q relisble eourcs that the road will
either be built direct TO this city, or in
a roundabout way, taking in Chino and
several other points. Two plans OF ex-
tension are being discussed at headquar-
tere. The irst is by way OF the San Ga
briel Valley Rapid Transit railway,
which runs from Los Angeles to Mon
rovia, and which has either already been
purchased by the Southern Pacific or it
ie negotiating for 10. From Monrovis a
line will be built TO Pomona. thence to
Chino, South Riverside, Riverside, Col
ton, San Bernardino and Grafton, cross
ing the main line twice and connecting
with 1t at the la1t named place.
The other plan IL to extend a line
from Monrovia along the foothills to
this city, parslleline the Southern Cali
station on the latter road, then contiu-
ing TO Grafton, whsfe IL would connect
with the main line. From this city
line would be built TO Riverside, thence
to South Riverside, and from there to
cennestion with the Tuatin branch AS
an Offset to the Southern CALIFORNIA;
kite-shnpe track the Southern Pacific
would have an elliptic, with the Angel
city at one extremity and this city at
the other, the main line being the major
axis. The informant said that the last
named plan would likely be the one pre-.
ferred. A new line will have to be built
between this city and Riverside, or the
present rails taken up and heavier ones
laid, rs the present ones are entirely too
light for freight purposes. The neoee-
sary rights OF ways have beeh secured
and in eome cases surveys have been
made. This settles beyond doubt that
this city will be one Of greatest railroad
centers in Southern California.
