their line into a broader field. One
move embraces an extension to San
Pedro or Santa Monica and the other
out to Chino. In order to place them
selves in position to do this work they
made trust deed short while ago to
the Union Trust company OF San Fran
cisco to all their property, with the pur.
pose in view of issuing bonds to the ex-
tent of $780, 900. or $4,000 mile for
esch mile of roadbed they own. AL
though the bonds have not been sold or
even executed, they are in such shape
that they can be used at very ehort
notice. 1t requires four to five months
time to prepare the preliminary work
for issuing bonds, but this has now been
gone through with, and the company
can now act as aoon as they see the
proper opening.
Capt. George Ainsworth's interests
demanded his attention in Portland to
settle an estate left by his father, valued
at $5,00O,000, and be was compelled to
resign as president OF the Redondo COM
pany. r. ii. Thompson, the ce-presi-
dent, likewise had business up north,
and also resigned. An election was &c
cordingly held on the 10th OF July and
Dan Mcfarland was elected president
and J. N. Sutton vice. president and
superintendent. On the 1st of the pres
emit month general offices were estab-
lished in the Bradbury building and the
company appears 20 be getting right in
line with their big neighbors.
AS outlined by sn official OF the COM
pany, they would be in good shape, so
lar aH distances go, to build to broader
field. Their road now runs almost in q
straight line to Gardena, and thence
bears off to Redondo. From Gardene to
San Pedro it is but eight ami half
miles. on an easy grade. 1t depends
upon the harbor question ii they build
to San Pedro. If the hsrbor goes to
Santa Monica they will build up the
coast distance of IL miles. They are
certain of building one way or the other.
On the extension to Pomona and Chino
they claim to have equal advantage
The distance is but % miles from Lea
Angeles by their route and very easiy
built.
1t is very likely that Gird's Chino
valley narrow guage road will connect
with the Redondo road and afford con-
nection with Ontario.
CATTLE BY RAIL TO KANSAS.
During the past few weeks a great
many carloads OF cattle have been
shipped to various places by rail in order
to obtain feed. The lack of rain in the
early part of the season, particularly on
the Islands along the coAst where great
many cattle are quartered, has made
ranges very dry. Boil & Gates. who
have ranges on the island of Sar
Clemente. have shipped three full
train loads OF cattle to Kansas. Up I'M
til the rains commenced in Arizona the
cattle in that section have likewise suf-
Tered, bnt the grass 10 now ntarting in
the territory very fast. Taking it all in
all, the railroads have been doing big
business in the cattle trade.
