WHAT MANAGER LEEDS SAYS.

The Traffic Manager Has Not Been
Officially Mortified.
By THE HERALD Leased Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dsc. 28.-Manage.
Leeds of the Traffic association has not
heard officially about the Fresno scheme
to build competing road to Los Ange-
les, instead of San Francisco. but he
has read the dispatches about it.
II do not think there is any danger"
he said today. "The people OF the San
Joaquin valley want more reasonable
transportation rates. and they are cast-
ing about for them either by way
of Los Angeles or San Francisco.
OF course we at this end of the propoei-
ton insist that this is the best outlet
because the approaches offer the least
natural resistance for the removal ol
the products OF the valley. The regula-
lation OF transportation rates is just az
imperative for the benefit OF San Fran
cisco as for the San Joaquin valley.
Their interests are identical. 1t is my
opinion that when q road is built in
the valley it will take its natural course
to the bay of San Francieco. Subscrip.
tions to the road are coming in slowly,
For all that we are determined to build
the road and I believe that we shall
build It,"
The herald., 1894-12-29

inserted in the constitution making it
impossible for the people ever to aaE
themselves to build roads that would
release them from the dominion OF q
railroad monopoly.
One proposition is that representatives
in the Legislature be urged to work for
proposed amendment TO permit counties
and cities to Issue bonds to help a COM
petiDg road. Fresno county could afford
to pay greatly increased taxes il the
farmers and vineyardists could be guar
anteed freight rates according 30 tho
cost of service rather than according to
the practice OF charging all the traffic
will bear. Fresno county could afford
to bond itself for million dollars to
secure this natural right, which can
never be expected until railroad compe-
tition is secured. A prominent citizen
said: Nothing should stand in the
way of our allying ourselves with South
ern California, whose interests are iden-
tical with ours. 1 would rather have it
said that Fresno is part Of that section
Of the state, go that we can be OF them

trial relations, than to have any other
thing happen that we could obtain
either from the state or national govern.

Fresno Aroused as to tho Needs Of the
Railroad.
By THE HERALD's Leased Wire.
FRESNO. CAL, Dec. 2S.-The letters
sent out by certain representative citi-
zens. among whom Fulton G. Berry is
prominent mover. invited the leading
men OF Mercsd, MADEIRA. Tulare. Kings
and Kern counties to discuss the matter
OF q competing railroad in all its phases
and to join in sending delegation to
San Francisco. This delegation is to
ascertain if there is enough evidence to
warrant the belief that the Traffic as
sociation road will be constructed to
make it worth while longer to consider
San Francisco as the outlet for ths pro.
ducts OF this county in the future. or
whether they must look to Los Angeles
and its eastern railroad connections to
save them. The letters sent were not
identical, but the points made are as
follows:
What Fresno wants 10 an equal oppor.
tunity with Los Angeles to get its pro-
ducts to the market. The citizens want
utilization with the enterprising people
of Southern California who have made
that part OF the state known through
out the world. The fruit productions OF
Fresno county are tho same az those OF
Southern California, and in addition it
has great wheat and other fruit crops.
Fresno county's citrus fruits come
into market q month earlier than those
of Los Angeles county. This fact 10
demonstrated every month at Porter.
vile. In Tulare county. The same belt
of land and climate extends through
this county. It would be big thing
if it were established that Fresno and
Tulare and Kings counties were part
and parcel Of Southern California. and
that orange groves can be grown on
acre. Such an advertisement would
bring in q rush OF people from eastern
states.
Fresno county, in order to. get the
benefit of all this, must have the same
access to markets that Southern Califor-
MIA now has. 1t needs competing rail-
road connection with the outside world.
Only those sections Of the country ever
get competing railroad rates that are in
position to demand them, rather than
to supplicate for them. The constitu-
tuition prohibits the people OF the val
ley from doing anything for them-
selves. After the people had been led
by voting to bond counties ard cities
to aid the Central Pacific road and
the railroad people had received all
the aid they could get from the peo-
pie and the people were tired of pay

Sam Joaquin Valley Farmers Tired of
hilly-shallying.
Special to the HERALD.
FRESNO. Dec. 28.-It appears that a
mistaken idea has gone abroad % to the
progress made in the matter OF opening
up competing railroad out of the San
Joaquin valley, to connect with the
Santa Fe system. The matter was first
broached last Saturday, and those who
set the idea going have preferred to
sound the feeling of the people OF South
ern California before taking steps to get
the leading citizens of the upper San
Joaquin together in convention to form
ulate q plan OF action. They are in
earnest. but co far have feared that the
idea might not be taken up by those OF
the southern country whose aid is
necessary to make the movement a sue
cess. Discouraged by so many failures
before, they are cautious about commit.
ting themselves to new schemes unless
sure Of success.
Thus far no mass meeting has been
The herald., 1894-12-29

held there, but there is great unanimity
and everybody who has interests here
promises to do his utmost to promote
the move. The Bulletins attack on the
measure last night has been much COM
mented ON today.
The member OF the traffic association
here. Fulton g. Borry, when told that
the Bulletin said he had not informed
the association OF any such move as
opening the road to Los Angeles, said
that he would as soon send report to
Calvery cemetery as to the association,
and expect to get as much satisfaction.
The people here feel encouraged at
the expression OF opinion of Los An
geles business men, published in The
HERALD OF the 9th. and will call q
meeting for some day next week or
week after, to which they will get
representative men OF all the counties
in the upper San Joaquin. 1t ia expected
that the meeting will be largely at.
tended. The purpose, as 6rst stated,
was to appoint o committee to interview
the Traffic association and San Francis
CO commercial bodies to learn whether
they will do something or nothing.
The fact thar the Traffic association
has extended the time for subscription
six months seems equivalent to sus-
pending indefinitely. and Fresno men
ore thoroughly tired Of shilly-shallying,
but will stand Leeds up for final an
swer. The sentiment here ia that rights
of way, and city bonus, can be OBJ
tanned without trouble for the proposed
road, and could be for Traffic associa-
tion's road. Those who are unable to
contribute money would grade sections
of the roadway to help the project along.
Freano's leading men are desirous of
being identified with Southern Califor-
mia, and will demand division of the
state, il necessary, to get better com.
merciai facilities than they are getting
with San Francisco at present.

WE REACH ALL MARKETS
JUDGE WIDNEY'S ABLE PAPER
ON THE GREAT ISSUE.
The Wsll-known Attorney Points Out
Why Los Angeles Should Be
the Distrib uting Point.

Los Angeles is 30 geographically stu.
ated with reference to railroad grades
and ocean shipments that it will become
the commercial metropolis of this coast,
not excepting San Francisco.
Already two competing lines OF rail-
way are here, and third is approach
ing from Salt Lake. Others will also
reach here along intermediate westward
lines. The low passes in the mountain
ranges opening to Los Angeles make
railroad access possible and profitable,
both by low grades and openness during
winter months. The impossible Sierra
Nevada gives the Central Pacific mo-
nopoly, and will continue to do so for
long time to come, while the great cost
OF operating and Of repairs forever pro-
hibit low rates.
1t is apparent, therefore. that the
ever be to the south and to Los Angeles.
This will make ua the convsrging point
for competing lines from all parts of the
eastern states, from New Orleans to
Chicago and all between. Such con-
dtion will give us the cheapest compet-
ing transportation rates. and will also
give us access to all the markets OF the
United States and Mexico. thus giving
us the advantage OF selling in the high
est and most competing markets.
That we are thus situated as a COM
mercial center is apparent. To US
there will come the products of the
central counties, for the simple reason
that from here they can be distributed
to any market where there is demand.
The inland market is thus secured.
Looking ocsanward we have two
shipping points. San Pedro and Port
Los Angeles. Both OF these are destined
to be improved with massive break
waters, and both will be needed for the
convenience of this section. They will
be competing shipping points with Los
Angeles, as the central receiving and
distributing point.
The Southern Pacific railroad, with all
its power, will draw to Port Los Angeles
all the land and ocean freight it can
command. The Santa Fs. Salt Lake +,
Terminal and others, will draw from
their entire radisting syatema to San
Pedro, and will call into that poet the
vessels from over the seas. The two
ports developed will give us CONNER
cial footing and prestige that will de-
velop a commerce, and business rels-
tons that will make connection with US
sought from all parts of the coast and
interior.
From tie general facts it ID very evil
dent that the true business interests of
the San Joaquin valley are southwark
and not northward. All additional lines
north simply run the freight into the
dspots OF the Central Pacific. which will
add to transcpnti mental rates enough to
