PASADENA, Dec. 20. In the interview
published In this mornings HERALD
with Mayor L. P. Lukens, that gentle.
man points out an objection to the
Southern Pacific coming In, which has
not yet been touched upon to any OK.
tent, namely. its avowed intention OF
crossing Colorado street at Broadway. 1t
will be remembered that the original
application Of the company was for q
line up Broadway across Colorado street
and north on Little avenue - far 90
Locust street. Such storm Of protests
were received against the company
being allowed to cross Colorado street,
that the Southern Pacific decided 10
give up this portion OF their scheme for
the present until they had got into
town. 1t however appears that the
company has BY no means abandoned
its intention Of laying third railway
track across the most important bHsi-
ness thoroughfare OF the city, but are
awaiting more favorable opportunity
to carry out their plane. More than
this. 1t 10 the avowed object OF the COM
pany to extend its line through the
northeast section of the city, cutting
way out up the valley. To accomplish
this would mean to ruin for residence
purposes good portion OF what IL now
one of the most desirable sections for
homes in the city.
1t ia indeed a fortunate thing that
Pasadena has on her board OF trustees two
such benchmen, as Mayor Lukens and
Mr.. II. M. Hsmilton who have taken
stand in this matter. which has received
the approval OF 95 per cent OF the popu-
lntion OF this city. So long as these
men stand whore they do the interest OF
our property holders and tax paye's are
safe.
THE NEW YEARS TOURNAMENT.
The tournament OF roses this year
bears promise OF proving an event OF
which the people of this city may we'll
be proud. 1t will be In every respect q
distinctive California festival in which
our wealth OF flowers will play an i'm
portant part. II is only necessary that
the management be given the hearty
support OF the community to make il
complete success.
THE FRUIT CROP.
The recent rains have been very bene.
fetal to the citrus fruit in this section,
and have much improved the chances
for fine crop of oranges. The fruit 10
OF unusually good sizs and promises to
run fairly we'll as to quality, The bulk
of the orange crop viii be handled this
season by the Orange Growers' assncia-
tion, although considerable fruit will 90
through the commission men. Protiting
by last years experience, the association
has DECIDED to handle only the fruit OF
its members. No attempt will be made
to touch the crops Of growers who have
failed to come into the association and
sign an agreement to allow it to handle
their productions. Most OF the orange
men, however. have joined the associa-
tion and will market their fruit in this
way. II 10 hoped that, profting by last
years experiences, much better show
ing will be made this season than last.
COUNCIL MEETING POINTERS.
The regular meeting Of the city coun.
Gil will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock. ef
A considerable amount OF routine
business 10 to come up, and there may
be some interesting passes on the South
ern Pacific franchise fight If any more
petitions are brought up. No definite
action, however, will be taken in the
matter until the meeting OF December
31st, when the time for advertising will
have expired and bids will be opened.
Among the things which will come up
for action tomorrow will bs the receiving
oil bids for the city printing. Up to the
present time the Star has had mouop-
oily on this work, being the only local
daily. The News being now in the field
opens competition, and there will be
lively contest for the business. The
rate now being paid tho Star is 40 cents,
but il 10 probable that the bids opened
tomorrow will be considerably below that
figure.

Grand Army hall was we'll filled this
afternoon at the preaching Of Rev. r.
N. Webstsr. who took a. his subject, Is

which he drew from the line OF thought
