REFUTES THE CHARGE.
The Traffic Association Sanguine
the Valley Road viii Be Built.


The utferances OF few persons down In
Fresno about giving up the valley-road propo-
siton and entering into compact with Los
Angeles looking to the construction OF line 10
that city, do not carry much weight in the
minds OF members of the Traffic Association.
Isaac Upham, president OF the body named,
says that he believes that when the discon-
tented spirits In Fresno come TO look into the
matter In the proper light they Will at once see
that II Is in closer commercial relations with
San Francisco. rather than with Los Angeles.
that their interests lie.
AS to the charge made that the Traffic Asso-
citation is not in earnest in The work of securing
the construction of the valley road. Mr.. UDham
says that the re-engagement of Manager Leeds
for another year. so that the benefit of his ad-
vice might be secured in this enterprise, Is
sufficient refutal of the assertion that the aSso-
citation has lost hope of completing its work.
Mr.. Upham further says that IL Is the aim OF
the association 10 raise the necessary $3.50, 600,
and he has no hesitation IN saying that they
are going 10 do ii. SIX months more are given

MANY ROBBERIES.
New Montgomery Street Mecca for
BURGLARS.

The saloon on the corner of Minnie and New
Montgomery streets, owned by II. and Nj. Levy,
was entered by burglars on Christmas night
and relieved S75 worth of cigars and liquors.
This is the fourth time within the past year
that the same place has been broken into, while
other saloons along the street have had similar
experiences.
From all appearances the burglaries have
been committed by the same person or persons
and judging from their modus operandi they
are evidently skilled in The art of purIoIn1Dn
liquid luxuries. They take only the best and
leave no trace behind which might lead TO their
capture.
The few dim lights along New Montgomery
street and the many small alleys and byways
leading off on each side afford excellent onpor.
tunity for such work, and the sticky fingei
gentry are not backward in taking advantage
