etion for "The Herald's" Work.
EDITOR HERALD:-I am glad to see
such an improvement in your paper, and
hope this will 60 on until THE HERALD
will lead all other dailiee of the state!
You are certainly on the right track in
advocating the building of q railroad to
Fresno. The advantages to both cities
and the intervening country would be
inealculable. The road could be built,
too. without any injury to the now ex.
isting lines.
We hope to see this project soon take
some tangible shape and be-
come substantial reality. There
is no factor unless it is man.
ufactures go potent in building up
large city as railroads, go let us extend
welcome to all pointing toward the

THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.

Editorial Comments on Manager Leeds

10 is not surprising, says the San
Diego Union, that the people OF Fresno
are getting tired of waiting for the Traf-
fio association Of San Francisco to act in
the matter OF building . competing
railroad down through the San Josqui
valley. The silurian disposition OF the
northern metropolis is OF such long
standing and 80 radical in its influence
that even the Traffic association has
been able to do little to overcome il.
Fresno is doing better to look to the
south for relief than to longer wait the

Leeds and his broken promises, the

JUSTICE N. G. AUSTIN.

We Would Be Greatly Benefited by
Closer Relations With Fresno.
"My experience Of more than 25 years
in Los Angeles" said Justice Austin.
"hss taught me that we cannot have too
many railroads. Our city, geographic
ally and commercially, must necessarily
be benefited by any new means Of COM
munication with surrounding territory.
az has been clearly demonstrated by the
growth of the city during the past 15
years. To open up new lines with the
San Joaquin valley, with the mineral
regions of Utah. or with any district
fairly tributary to this city, is but to
materially enhance our property by
properly developing our own resources

afforded the people both to adopt 1t by
