HANFORD MEN TALK.
Residents of O Thriving Valley City De
ciare for Los Angeles.

Residents of O Thriving Valley City De-
clare for Los Angeles.
]. K. Green, O well-known merchant
of Hanford, is Waiting thiscity. He is
deeply interested in the plan to connect
the central counties with Los Angeles
by competing railroad.
"It 10 thing that must come, sooner
or later" he said yesterday. sit is the
one thing neediul for the future of the
central counties. Our people are thor
oughly imbued with this idea, and Los
Angeles can depend upon our section OF
the country standing by her in this agi-
tation from first to last. We are willing
and ready to put up the money just as
soon as a definite plan has been agreed
upon.
1--WE favor either o railroad by private
capital or one constructed by the state,
as proposed by Senator Mathews.
Either plan would give us the desired
relief from the Southern Pacific monop>
oily, and that ia all we need to become
as prosperous section of the country
as there is or will be in the state.
LAS it 10 now we can do but little to-
ward development, for the railroad
charges take away the profit from
every enterprise that depends in any
way upon receiving or shipping freight.
Hanford and the surrounding country ia
very hopeful of Los Angeeg. We have
lost faith in the Traffic association and
are now building our future on south
ern connection"
LEIGH ovERMAN.
"Hanford is looking toward Los Angs.
les with the keenest anticipation" said
Leigh Overman, the nurseryman from
that city, who is visiting Los Angeles
ON a business GRAND. "a competing
lins is our salvation. Everybody in the
county understands THE and is working
with might and main TO that end,
"Of course. We have nothing further
to hope for from San Francisco and the
Traffic association. Our people under
stand that thoroughly also, and now Los
Angeles is our hope. We can nsver
make much progress, the way things
are now, until this competing line has
been built.
"Hanford is city of $500 population,
and as lively and enterprising a com.
munity, considering the dishesrtening
factors we have had to deal with, as
there is in the state. We have an opera
house that cost $4,000 and two hotels
the aggregate cost OF which was $50 000.
Leaving Stockton out of the count Hans
ford is the second town ia the valley.
Surrounding us ia country rich in
natural resources, but it lacka develop
ment for the single reason that freight
rates to San Francisco are nearly 81 a
hundred.
with such rate it is impossible for
us to make much Roadway. Our cit
invest their money as soon as there ia
the slightest encouragement offered in
the vsy OF railroad facilities. One m sn
in our country. E. Jacobs, of Visalia,
has volunteered to build ten miles of
railroad himself az soon ss there shall
he new main line through the valley.
There aEs several monaysd men up
there who will do "a much for the coun-
try"
