to build the competing line. and when
it was buls got control of it. II would
run through richly productive coun.,
try that would afford paying traffic
from the atart. Tie San Joaquin valley
had practically supported the Southern
Pacific system for yearo. Many TALES OF
its lines ran through desert country
and had to be operated at loss. The
productive San Joaquin valley made up
for thiu by furnishing traffic that turned
moro money into this colfera OF the com-
pany than ell the rest OF the system

line would not compete if the Southern
Pacific could get control of it, but could
be made es good paying property GA the
linee the Southern Pacific already had
in the valley.
AN IMPOSSIBLE STEAL.
The HERALD's informant considera
this hint from Southern Pacific official
"a evidence that thsre was room for the
proposed road. AS for the Southern Pa
cifc gobbling it up when it WAS built,
that was Q matter to be looked after.
Precautions could DO taken that would
prevent the contamination of suoh an

Pacific getting control Of tho new lins
should not deter people from encourag-

thoroughly aroused against Huntington

dangerous for them to sttemps so bold y

the people should tako this matter up

wheat would have been not exceeding
