LOCAL RAILROAD WORLD
Officers Huntington and hcod Went
North Yesterday
UngodIy Ones Hint at Developments that r1ay
Be Expected Soon-Terminal to
Force the Fighting

The private car of H. L. Huntington,
the assistant to the president of the
Southern Pacific railroad, was attached to
the northbound tram yesterday after
noon, and that gentleman, toget Their with
Chief Engineer Hood, star ted for San
Francisco after two-days' inspection of
the lines in Southern California, and
more particularly che new branches. The
roads recently constructed to Oovina and
Pasadena were critically examined, as
also was the new bicycle track at Santa
Monica. Both officers were satisfied with
the improvements and pleased with their
brief stay in the neiphborhood.
THE UNGODLY ONES HINTS
A large number of general agents for
the Pacific const of eastern railroads are
i'll the city at the present time, and spec
ulation is rife as to what it all means.
Ostensibly they are here in the interest
of their respective roads and to make a
personal bid for business. Perhaps that
is SO, but there are thoss wicked enough
to hint that something is developing and
that the denouement may be expected
shortly. These same ungodly ones speak
mysteriously of ''long hauls and short
rates." and darkly hint that troubles
brewing.
RAILROAD PUGInISM
The Los Angeles Terminal railway has
determined TO act aggressvely. Scientific
lodging is wearisome, and hereafter it
will force the fighting. The late action
of the road demonstrates this beyond
peradventure. Commencing on Sunday
next, the Terminal will transport psssen-
gers from Los Angeles to Pasadena for
the small sum of 10 cents each-only q
dime A return to Altadenh will be As
cents. Ihe round trip from Pasadena to
Long Beach and San Pedro will be 80
cents, and on Sundays, returning on
Mondays, il will be 70 CENTS. Whether
the Pasadena and Pacific electric Will
spar for wind or not, remains to be seen.
CAHUENGA .ROA D SOLD.
A report reached this office at an early
hour this morning to the effect that the
Traction Railway company of Los An.
geles had purchased the Cahuenga Val
ley railroad. The Consolidated Railway
company some time ago had a option up.
on the latter property but nothing came
of it. The report, owing to the hour,
cannot be verified.
