PASADENA, Nov. 8-The fight over
! the proposed coming of the Southern
I Pacific company up Broadway grows
I warmer every day. Ths Star says:
'Another proposition is this: II a
franchise is granted for steam railroad
up the center OF Broadway the company
to whom it is proposed to grant 1t should
first make its peace with the property
owners whose interests would be affect
ed. There is no denying the fact that
the construction of such road would
almost con6scate the street for railroad
purposes, to the exclusion Of private
business. Numerous citizens have vested
rights on the street which no fair minded
man has any disposition to see de-
etroyed, even il the remainder OF the
community be benefited thereby. We
join with citizens who are ready to wei
come another railroad into the city. The
only question is as to the terms upon
which they shall come in. The demand
to cross Colorado street at grade is an
unreasonable one; the proposition to
appropriate Broadway to railroad uses
without an understanding as to the com.
psnsation to be rendered ie unfair and
unjust. 1t is not too much to expect
thar the amount Of this compensation
shall be known in advance OF the grant.

SOME INTERESTING PHOTOGRAPHS.
Mr.. w. d. McGilvary has recently re.
ceived from the northern part OF the
VI state q fine collection OF Photographic
illustrating the numbering business in
Humboldt county, near Eureka, in this
state.
One view is especially curious, being q
photograph of an immense stump OF q
iree, the roots OF which mad com pletely
Dvergrown tree probably seven feet in
diameter, which had fallen at its base,
probably hundreds of years before it
was cut down. The tree, when it fell.
must have been 700 years old, yet alter
lying partially covered with earth for
over half a century, it was found to be
perfectly soInd when cut into.
Mr.. McGilvary 10 an old lum herman,
and made the first estimate OF the land
from which the views were taken, now
being operated by the Pacific Lumber
- company. The total output from the
coast forests is estimated at $40, 600 .000,-
000 feet annually, and at this rapid rate
of consum pton the immense forests ol
the state will aoon be OF the past.
AFTER THE BATTLE.
Every man in this section OF the
globe seems extremely thankful thai

Several interesting facts may be noted
on the local vote.
The total gain, which amounted tc
about 800, shows the wonderful growth
which the city has made in the pasi
two years.
As regards the political aspect OF the
vote, there is little If any change. The
Republican majority is the same az ever
