th.t road was subsdizod by the gov

Angeles. When tho Los Angeles Ter.
ninal road was comm snced ut this end,
the understanding was with Charles
Nrnncis Adams, the president of the
Union Pacific thu O road would be
huit from Milford this way to connect
with it.
Work was commenced on the Milford
end under this arrangemsnt and about
100 miles south OF thai place was graded
and bridyed, ths rails and ties being
even placsd on the ground preparatory
to laying tho track. The rails for dis

actually laid.
"N hen Jag Gould got possession of
[ae Uniea Pacific the work was stopped
and the rails taken up and moved away.
Numbers OF tics are now lying along the
grsded road.
