NEW LINE TO SALT LAKE,
Plans for the Los Angeles Ter
minal Extension Nearing
Completion.
Grading and Tracklaying on the
Western End of the Road Will
Soon Be Under Way.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 1S.-While
interest in railroad circles is being directed
toward the Valley road and the new ex-
tension of the Southern Pacific the Los An
geles Terminals plans for getting through
to Salt Lake are being rapidly completed.
The proposed route of this road COM
mences where the present Altadena branch
of the Terminal turns away from the edge
of the Arroyo Seeo. From that point it
goes north along the Arroyo Seco to its
head where, by means of a tunnel about
500 feet long through the range, it enters
the San Fernando Valley. Crossing the
Santa Clara River it traverses the San
Trancisquito Canyon and comes out on
the Mojave Desert at Elizabeth Lake, and
then extends straight away to the vicinity
OF Barstow-
From all indications construction work
will very soon be commenced along this
part OF the line. Last Monday the third
corps of engineers was sent into the field,
and the breaking OF ground will soon
follow. Track-laying will shortly be begun
on the new extension.
President Kerns and ice-Presldent Lay
ton and the other high officials of the
Terminal are here with their heads to-
gether in deep consultation. The public
ere long will doubtless hear that track
laying has commenced between this city
and the desert. This will soon be reached,
as the average grade is reported not to ex-
coed IL per cent to the mile.

MERRY WAR ON RATES.
0ne-DoHar Fares From Portland to San
Francisco Appear to Be in
Siohf

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 18.-The rate
war between the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company and the Southern
Pacific is progressing merrily. Tomorrow
is the steamer and Shasta special day, and
both companies are knitting schedules for
business. The bookings at both the rail-
road and steamship offices indicate that
the public is enjoying the situation, and a
great many are availing themselves of a
chance to travel, and just now it is as cheap
to travel as to stay at home.
Flaming yellow posters are all over
town, announcing that for $40 man could
get frst-class passage to California by
rail, and for just half that sum he could go
1irst class by steamer, including, OF course,
his meals and berth, and by steerage could
leave town for 81 80. The train rate in
cludes sleeping accommodations only.
The NAVIGATION Company is ready to take
up any bluff made by the railroad, and,
Judging from the looks of things to-day
the war is on until some one cries for quar-
ter. 1t is not altogether improbable that
the rates may be cut until it is possible to
get steerage berth to San Francisco for 81.

MANY CONTESTS WILL RESULT
Contention Over Mineral Tracts
and Townsites Likely to
Follow.

KENDRICK, IDAHO, Nov. 1S.-The large
:ract of land known as the Nez Perez Reser-
walton, which by the proclamation of Presi-
dent Cleveland was opened to settlement
to-day at noon, didn't produce the grand
rush anticipated, though probably not less
than 5000 prospective settlers have gone
upon the land. They were not held back by
soldiers, being permitted to go when they
pleased, and the opening seems to have
had no other effect than that at noon en-
tries could have been filed at the land Of
flee.
THE Calls special correspondent has
travelled over portion of the reservation.
and while there is some excelle mt land 1t
is not of a character to cause q great
stampede. On this side of the reservation
everything has been quiet to-day, and
there is nothing to indicate rush. 1t is
said that two rival town-site companies
are liable to clash in what is known as the
Big Hole country, but at the Indian
agency at Lapwai no trouble is antici-
pated.
The wild rumor that soldiers are chasing
"sooners" off the reservation or arresting
and holding them at the agency is abso-
lutely without foundation. There are
many reckless characters who have gone
on the reservation looking for trouble for
their own advantage, and they are the
ones who have started the runners.

given by Heney to his wife. 1t was dated
Los Angeles. 1t was to show that Heney
began disposing of his property through
his wife as soon as he knew he was wanted.
Frank Langevin, a teamster, testified
that Heney asked him to lease him a pair
of horses and blackboard to take him to
Reno, but that he finally leased the team
to his brother Joe. The witness would
tell nothing more. Deputy Marshal Hol-
brook testified that he had attempted to
subpoena Langevin, but could not find him
1t was freely asserted in the city after
adjournment that the witness had skipped

caption, "Loaves and Fishes" the Mail
announces a good thing in store
for Democratic workers when the
Governor appoints Democratic
successor to w. w. Montague, the
present director of the Agnews Asylum.
Frank H. Gould, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, who was
recently appointed director by the Gov

disposition of spells, and in an interview
to-day said:
II understand from the Governor and
from the press that he will appoint Dem
ocrat to succeed Mr.. Montague. In
that case there will be three DEM
ocrats and two Republicans on
the board. OF course. if the other
Democrats do not work with me can do
nothing; but if they do intend to redeem
some of the pledges made by me during
the campaign. A number of men worked
very hard in connection with the
labor of the State Central Committee
during the last campaign, through their
friendship for me. Thus far I have not
been in position to help them, but now I
propose to put those who worked with the
State Central Committee in every place I
can.

me that the Agnews board in the past has

The Flames Now Approaching

RAGING IN OTHER QUARTERS.
Forests Near Santa Cruz Are Again
Blazing-Great Damage in All
Directions.

ANGELS CAMP, CAL, Oct. 1S.-The fire
in the timber-belt is still raging. About
seventy-fve men went up to-day to aid
the Utica Mining Company, whose flume
is burning. -Four dollars day is being Of
fered for help. 1t is impossible to ascer-
tain the extent of the loss at this time, but
it will be immense. AS the forest is as dry
as finder it will be difficult to control the
fire.
The last telephone message, received at
o'clock this afternoon, said several sec
tions of the company's monster fiume had
already fallen. The Utica company had
only sufficient water to run its mine to the
18th inst, but if the fume is destroyed to
any great extent the mine will be i'm
mediately closed down.
McKay's sawmill is now in immediate
danger of destruction, but Manuel's lunl-
ber-plant, which it was thought would go
yesterday, was saved. Superintendent T.
J. Lane of the Utica mine is personally
directing the forces against the fire, as the
work is dangerous. Physicians are at
hand and loads of provisions and other ne
cessities have been sent up.
The fire is said to be rapidly approaching
the famous Calaveras big trees. This
whole section of country is enveloped in
dense clouds of smoke and the sun has
been practically obscured all day, while
the stars cannot be seen tonight.

MRS. FOLLIS DEAD.
The Wel1-Known PhiIanthropist Passes
Away After Short Ill

Mrs. Annie Follis, the wife of Richard
H. Follis and sister of the late millionaire
James G. Flood, died yesterday at her
home at 2230 Washington street. The
lady had been i'll since last Thursday,
with what appeared to be apoplexy, and
consequently her death was not uncx-
pected.,
The attack was sudden, paralyzing her
right side, and at the same time she lost
her power of speech. DR.. p. de Vecchi was
called at once and on Friday he expressed
the belief that Mrs. Follis would recover,
unless relapse should occur. The efforts
OF the physician were of no avail and the
lady passed quietly away.
Mrs. Follis had an extensive circle Of
friends and acquaintance. During the past
few years she devoted her entire time and
attention to charity land she is well known
in the homes of many poor people, who
will grieve when they hear she has passed
away.
Deceased is the mother OF Fred, James,
Richard, Lillian and Clarence Follis and
Mrs. Paolo de Vecchi. She was born in
New York and was 81 years of age. The
lnterment will be private.
