EXTENDING ITS FEEDERS
Improvements Being Made by
the Southern Pacific
Company.
All of Them Are Being Confined to
the Lower Portion of the
State.

While no great projects are now under
way or contemplated by the Southern Pa
cific Company at the present time, there
are Improvements in progress in various
parts of the State which will mean not
only improved facilities for the shippers
| in these particular localities, but also in
creased revenue for the Southern Pacific
Company.
II. E. Huntington returned yesterday
| from trip to the southern portion of the
State and in the course of an interview
outlined briefly what his company is do
ing there.
One of the most important improve
ments is the loop of eighteen miles, spring
ing from the main line of the Southern
Pacific Railroad at Bassett, passing
through Covena, San Diemas. Lordsburg
and back to the main line at Pomona.
This taps one of the finest orange and
citrus sections in the State.
This loop is complete except for the lay
ing of about 1900 feet of track along one
of the streets OF Pomona. Right of way
over this street was obtained from the city
authorities, but one of the property
owners along this street began injunction
proceedings, and, pending a decision in
the case, work has been suspended. The
entire line is graded and the road can be
put in operation within twenty-four hours
after the work of laying the rails on the
gap is begun.
Despite the fact that Riverside is the
hup of very rich and populous section
the Southern Pacific has never had regu-
lar train service into that thriving and
progressive city. But all this is to be
changed and work has been commenced
to convert the motor road now running
from Cotton to Riverside into a regular
spur of the Southern Pacific Railroad and
which will permit of regular passenger and
freight service into and out of Riverside.
No change, however, will be made for the
present in the motor road between Cotton
and San Bernardino.
Mr.. Huntington also reported further
extension of the coast line from Tangair to
the Santa Ynez River, four and two-tenths
miles to the south.
This leaves but gap of fifty-six miles to
make this a through line between San
Francisco and Los Angeles. Progress will
be stopped at the river until the big and
expensive bridge across it has been com
pleted. Work has begun on it, but it will
be months before it is completed. Beyond
the river progress will be slow owing to
the many small streams that have to be
crossed between the Santa Ynez and FL
wood. This will necessitate great amount
of filling or trestlework
The first train to the Santa Ynez River
left here yesterday al S:15 A. NJ. 1t will
make close connection at the river with
the stage for Lompoc, nine miles distant
The stage ride will be along the river the
entire way, and on driveway that is un-
excelled in the State for hardness and
smoothness.
At Lompoc, which will be reached at
8:15 P. NJ, the passengers will lay over for
the night, and resume the stage ride at z
A. NJ, arriving at Santa Barbara at P. NJ.

BOXING AND WRESTLING.

Sport at the Manhattan and Phoenix
Athletic CIubs-Muller's Challenge.
The Phoenix Athletic Club will hold its
monthly entertainment this evening at
the rooms, corner of Eighth and Folsom
streets. An excellent programme con-
slstlng of boxing, gymnastics and club
swinging has been arranged and hrst-
class evenings sport is assured.

Government. is at the Occidental.
Mr.. Jones has been many years resi-
dent OF Hawaii and has large interests
there.
He has come here on very important
mission. 1t is to place certain bonds of
the Government. With him is connected
R. P. Rlthet of this City.
1t should not be inferred from this that
the Hawaiian republic is hard up. On the
contrary, as shown by an interview with
Minister of Finance Damon in THE CALL
Yesterday, its finances are in admirable
shape.
1t is simply that Mr.. Jones, so he
says, has pointed out way that
the Government can do better than pay
the interest it is now paying.
President Dole has extended the session
OF the Legislature ten days to consider it.
There is apparently no doubt at all but
that Mr.. Jones' proposition will be ac-
cepted. He has come on here as though
it was already done, put for that matter
he was coming anyway.
Mr.. Jones said yesterday, in referring to
the matter:

cept our proposition, there is no question
but we can get the money. The amount
of the bonds issued, tina: Is the total issue
at the present time, is in exact figures

pose, with my friends, to furnish the Gov
ernment with money to take up the present
bonds and replace them with the PEI cent
bonds.
"The Government has the right to call
in the per cents, or at least 81 100000 of
them held in London. and the others can
soon be taken up also.
''This difference of per cent would
mean saving to the Govern ment of $780,
600 a year. l have Eastern friends who
will be willing to invest in the bonds at 4
per cent.
'Besides this our own people who have
this year been successful and made money
out of sugar will have money to invest,
and will aid the Government"
Mr.. Jones left for New York last night.
He will be back on July 10, and in day
or two afterward will sail on the Australia
for Honolulu. Mr.. Jones expects in a few
days to be formally notified by his Gov
ernment to go ahead.

ALL REPUBLICAN WOMEN
Advice From J. Ellen Foster and
a Message From Nc
Kinley.
Membership of Their State Central
Club Increased to 2o2-To Attend
Ratification Meeting.

The Woman's Republican State Central
Club met last night at the California
Hotel, talked over plans for raising cam
paign funds by entertainments, listened
to the reading of several encouraging let
ters from the East, applauded brief greet
ings from the great Mckinley, and ad-
journed in body to attend a meeting of
the Young Mems Republican League at
the City Hall.
AS to the proposed entertainment the
club has narrowed it's choice of halls down
to the Odd Fellows and the Union
square, final decision to be made at the
next regular meeting.
Two new mem bers were enrolled, making
the club membership 202. 1t was unani-
mously decided to be present at and to
take part in the Republican ratification
meeting to be held the night after nomina-
tions are made in st. Louis.
One OF the more lengthy letters from
sympathizers in the East was from ]. Ellen
Foster OF Washington. president of the
Womans Republican Associa ton of the
United States. She said that she had
watched with interest and satisfaction the
progress OF the woman 8 suffrage campaign
In California. The letter continued:
Women are likely to fall into the error of be-
neVlng they can accomplish most for political
righteousness by acting independently of party
politics; In the consciousness of political recti-
tude and in the first flush of political con-
seriousness they say: eve will not pledge al
leglance to anybody; we will think and act for
ourselves; we will vote for the best men
Wherever we find them" The independent
votes OF men or women is more likely to be an
irresponsible vote than to be tonic or a
stlmulant to either political party.
This is all William Mckinley wrote, but
1t was enough to arouse enthusiastic ap-
plause:
