Worry Little Construction work-Heavy
Fruit shipments.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 15.-The South.
ern Pacific company is doing very little
construction work this fall. A email
force of men is at work ON the extension
of the coast line in San Luis Obispo
county. Freight Agent Smurr OF the
Southern Pacific says that the east.
bound movement OF freight is very
heavy. This traffic consists largely OF con.
signments of fruit to eastern markets.
Prices for fruit are not SO good as might
be desired in Chicago and New York
said Smurr, but there must be some
profit in the shipments and the extent OF
the traffic is go grert that it will result
in bringing q great amount OF money in.
to the state.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-It was reported
here today that the Southern Pacific
has surprise for the next transconti.
mental conference Monday. Its officials
are tired of the alleged ''unreasonable-
ness" of the northern lines in their de-
mands for differentials, and il they
can not settle their differences among
themselves shortly, the Southern Pacific
will simply tell them they will have to
stay out of the California business. 1t
will refuse to honor tickets from Port
land by the Shasta route, and there is
no other ell rail route into California
from the north.
