SAN BERNARD|NO'S GAIN,
To Be Connected With Grafton
by a New Southern Pa
CifiC Line.
mental Road by Over a Hun
dred Miles.

SAN BERNARDINO, GAL, June "a
When the Southern Pacific road was built
through Yuma to Los Angeles, San Ber-
nardino was asked to contribute toward
building through here, but the citizens
would not give anything. 1t was built
three miles south, and the town of Cotton
established, and the only way the Southern
Pacific comes here is over a motor road
The same is true of Riverside.
A meeting was called to-day by business
men to assist the road in getting a right of
way out of this city toward Grafton, above
Redlands. If successful, the Southern
Pacific will come from Cotton, probably
over motor track, and go through to
Grafton. A committee was appointed to
aid the project, and business men are en-
thuslastic over it. 1t is expected this line
will build through from Grafton to Ban
ming, putting this city on the main line.
To connect with this there will soon be
built line from San Dimas, Just west of
Pomona, along the foothills direct to this
city, it being demonstrated that the best
orange belt is close to the foothills. This
line will open up an excellent fruit country.
Another plan of shortening the trans
continental line over hundred miles will
soon be commenced. This will be cut off
from the Southern Pacific line at Mojave,
almost an air line through Swarthout
Canyon, near here, to this city and over
the Grafton line to Banning. In sending
through freight and passengers over the
cutoff shorter time for many hours will be
made from San Francisco to the East.
Leading officials of the Southern Pacific
state this move will certainly be made.

Commenced Within a
Week.
NO CONCESSIONS ARE ASKED
When Right of Way Through the
City Is Granted the Work
Will Be Started.

STOCKTON, CAL. June 24.-The Corral
Hollow Railway is coming to Stockton.
This fact is assured now, and tonight
Attorney Arthur Levinsky asked the City
Council to hold a special meeting next
Thursday night to consider an application
for franchise to run through the streets
of Stockton. He stated that the owners OF
the coal mines had decided to build to this
point instead of Mohrs Landing, and would
not ask any subsidy or assistance from the
people of Stockton, other than the fran
chise to run THROUGH such streets as it is
necessary to use in getting to their coal
bunkers. He informed the Council that the
projectors of the road had purchased several
valuable pieces of property in this city,
and would begin the work of constructing
the road just as soon as they were granted
the franchise. They will secure them
selves the right of way to the San Joaquin
River, but in this the Stockton CONNER
cial Association pledged itself to aid them
several weeks ago.
Stockton will now have an unlimited
supply of cheap fuel, for it has been
guaranteed that the retail price of coal
here from the Corral Hollow mines will

people here hope to increase the factories
and make this the chief manufacturing
city of the State.
The route proposed will run from the
mines to a point near Banta, where it
crosses the Southern Pacific Company
tracks, and thence on to Johnsons Ferry
on the San Joaquin River. There draw
bridge will be constructed. From the
river the road will run over an unused
county road, so that there will be no
difficulty in securing rights of way, as the
Supervisors will grant an easement over
this, and the road will cross very few farms.
1t will come into Stockton near the French
Camp road, and thence down Hunter
street. Just what course it will take after
striking Mormon Channel in this city has
not yet been determined, but the line pro-
posed originally by Messrs. E. B. Pond
John Treadwell and ]. w. Coleman when
here, was down Harrison street to Weber
| avenue, and thence to the water front OF
| Stockton Channel, or near the point where
| this body of water and Norman Channe
unite.
There will be great rejoicing in Stockton
tomorrow when the people learn that tn,
oad is now an assured thing, as the pub
| lie feel that Stockton will be benefited by
this almost as much as by the Valley Rail
road.
III. Barber, the representative of the Goa
people here, stated tonight that the worl
of running the preliminary surveys would
! be commenced within one week, and pos
sibly this week, as the surveying party i.
being arranged for now. The mine-owner.

Loss ON EASTERN SHIPMENTS.
Fruit GrOsCers Advised Not to Send
Peaches to Oltside Mnrkefs.

Fruit GrOaCers ADVISED Not to Send
Peaches to Outside Markets.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, June A.-Fruit-
shippers in this section are advising grow
ers to dry their peaches or sell to Gamers,
and unless people are thoroughly respon-
sible transportation men refuse to handle
peaches for shipment unless freight and
commission are advanced. The loss to
growers of peaches this year will I'M
doubleday be very large and the result in
the orchards will be a tendency to sup.
plant peach trees with other kinds of fruit.
A leading shipper here says:
"The refusal to handle peaches for the
Eastern market is owing to the enormous
crop in Georgia, Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey. Georgia peaches are now
coming in in immense quantities, and
reach New York and Chicago in better
condition than California peaches Again,
the freight from Georgia to Chicago is 81
cents hundred, while from California it
is 81 25. These things make it almost
impossible to ship peaches East at profit
when there is a good crop in the Atlantic
States, as there is this year."
Shippers'here all advise growers not to
make any shipments of peaches East this
year, but instead to dry them or sell to the
best advantage to Gamers

GAME Law UNcoNsrITUTIoNAL.
Decision of Superior Court Judges IN
Bank at San Dte0o.

Bank at San Diego.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, June A.-The man.
damus case brought by G. H. Ingelow to
compel the Auditor to issue his warrant
for his salary as game warden was decided
to-day by the Superior Court Judges in
bank that the act creating game wardens
is unconstitutional. This is because it
delegates to the Supervisors a:.discretion to
appoint or not, which is a power the con-
stitution confers only upon the Legisla-
ture, and on the further ground that if
such an Office is created it must be for all
classes of counties.
This game law did not specifically name
counties of class 81, which is San Diego s
class, and so left the matter of appointing
game warden optional with the Board
Ingelow will appeal to the Supreme Court,
and expects other game wardens to join
him, as this decision will have the effect of
preventing their drawing salaries.
