RAILROAD BUSINESS BOOMING,
Heavy Freight and Passenger
Traffic Reported.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Again
at Loggerheads.
A Msgaihosnt Train Due Hero Tonight
at the Arcade Dspot-Gard's
, appointment.

freight is now coming into Southern
California from the east than has
been at any other time in six years. A
very large percentage OF this freight
consists OF household goods. AT one OF
the freight offices applications are made
daily by people who beg that their goods
may be permitted to remain in the de-
pot for few days till the owners can
find houses to live in.
These facts speak we'll for Los Angeles
and indicate that the present winter ie
likely to be one of great business activ-
ity and large accessions to our popula-
ton.
THE POMONA AND ELsINoRE.
Riverside Enterprise: A small item
in yesterdays issue concerning the ef'
forts OF the Southern Pacific in the line
OF securing a right OF way over the old
Pomona and Elsinore boom day rail-
road route, caused considerable com.
ment on the streets yesterday. 1t also
caused the Enterprise to investigate just
what movements the company was
making in the city in the right OF way
matter, and it WAS learned that in add-
tion to the property recently secured by
the company on the East Side. nsgotia-
tions were still pending with property
owners In that section for more lots.
On December 14th Col. T. J. Wilson,
route agent for the company, placed
seven deeds on file in the recorders Of
fee for the same number OF pieces OF
property lying along the alleyways par
allel to and east of Pachappa avenue.
Tho seven deeds in question were given
by L. w. Collins, ]. W. Merrill, @. I.
White, A. Duncan. l. Robpins, Hester
Castleman and Mrs. F. A. Cairns.
Several other parties owning land in
the same vicinity who were questioned
about the matter acknowledged that
they had had overtures from the COM
puny. or, to be exact, from what 10
known a. the Pacific Improvement COM
pany, which 10 the same as the railroad
company itself. for their property, and
from the way some of those were spoken
to it is likely that moro deeds will be re.
corded by Mr.. Wilson before long; all of
which goes to chow that the Southern
Pacific company intends coming into
Riverside in the very near future. The
location OF the property purchased BY
the company as noted above indicates
further that the company will come
into the city practically on the came line
included in the franchise asked for by
the Motor company, or rather by Mr.. o.
T. Dyer, somo two years ago.
At one time 1t was thought the CONS
pany would come in parallel with the
Santa Fe road, but on the west side Of
the latter, but this plan 10 certainly out
of the question in view OF the purchases
recorded above.
1t 10 not likely that any move towards
coming in win be made until eli the
necessary right Of way has been secured,
when the Southern Pacific iron horse
will no doubt soon make its appearance
in the city.
THE TRANsCONTINENTAL LINES.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-Now that the
Canadian Pacific and its Affairs have for
the time being been removed from the
consideration OF the western lines they
have taken up matter which promises
to give them almost as much trouble he.
fore they are through with 1t as did the
Canadian Pacific. This 10 the old
trouble between the Atohison and
Southern Pacific regarding the rates via
San Diego.
When the meeting convened this
morning Passenger Traffic Manager
White of the Atchison announced that
before the meeting to perfect Q trans-
continental association had been called
the Atchison road had been promised by
the Southern Pacific that if 1t would
become o party to the agreement the
old troubles at San Diego would be
settled. The meeting had gone on
for three weeks and o. yet the Atch-
ison had been able to have nothing
done toward the adjustment of its af-
fairs. This could not go on longer, and
Mr.. White made q demand for the adj
justment OF the matter. The roads at
once took up the matter and were en-
gagged with it for the entire day. No
definite action was taken and the same
thing will be under discussion tomorrow
afternoon.
Earnings Of the entire system Of the
Atohison road for the second week in
December were $3.50, 1893, q decrease
compared with the same week of last
year of s64,515. The earnings of the
month to date are 1856, 762, .
decrease of 500. 725.
The increase over last year for the
month to date in the earnings of the
Colorado Midland is Sc, 1928.

NOT WORRIED.
The announcement of tho incorpora.
tion OF the San Francisco and Los Ange-
les railroad in the former city leaves the
railway men here very calm and unex-
oited. Tho incorporation 10 due to the
expiration OF the franchise Of the San
Francisco and Atlantic Railroad CON-
pany. which had NO property and no
capital and the present step 10 consid~
ered merely = precaution to prevent the
ola franchise from lapsing.
