HARLEM RIVER YARD.
The Immense Amount of Business the

Inc immense Amount of Business the
Consolidated Handles There.
An interesting history of the devel-
opment of the Harlem river yard,
through which all east and west bound
freight of the Consolidated now passes.
mas recently been written by w. E.
Chamberlain, assistant superintendent
OF the New York division, who is in
charge of the yard. Among other
things Mr., Chamberlain tells how, pri-
or to 1878, all the Consolidated freight
was drawn up Fourth avenue from
Center street to Forty-seeond street
by horses. Then came the Harlem Riv-
er and Portchester parallel scheme,
which was bought up by the New
Haven road and completed in 1898,
From this time freight was taken by
transfer boats from along East river
TO Harlem river yard, and this system
resulted in large increase in traffic.
Pier so was opened in 1875 President
Clark wa then general manager of the
New England, and the same year or
ganized the New England Transfer
company, for the purpose of transfer
ing freight cars on floats from the
Pennsylvania station in Jersey City to
Harlem river. to be hauled by the New
Haven road to Hartford, and there de-
livered to the New England The plan
proved a very profitable one.
When Mr.. Clark became president of
the New Haven road he succeeded in
obtaining for his road the property of
the transfer company. Since Vice Pres
ident Mallen has been general traffic
manager the freight traffic has great
ly increased, until now the Harlem
yard has a record for hauling 1895
loaded freight cars in one day.

The Republican contest for munich
pal offices Is so beautifully complicated
that it is utterly useless for anyone to
predict the outcome as regards any
Office.
At the caucuses Friday evening the
most shameful methods were used IN
many of the precincts. Suffers and
nonresident heelers We're on hand at
more than dozen places working for
the Slauson-Good Governmental epub-
lican-push candidacy for mayor.
Somebody turned loose a sack and it
was used by the push in some places to
advantage.
The push saw that in order to control
the other offices and the council they
would have to give up the mayoralty
So the combination was made to bring
Slauson out for mayor and to hold up
the Good Government Endorsement of
him to strengthen his cause with the
Republicans.
Slauson was satisfactory to all cor
porate interests, and help could be OBJ
tanned from them.
The water company entered into the
deal, it being guaranteed protection in
the council at the hands of Republican
councilmen if they were elected.
BY cloaking it's purpose under the
supposed responsibility of Slauson's
candidacy for mayor. the Republican
push expects to be able to get in and
dictate the nominations for the other
offices and for the council. With these
nominees secured to themselves, and
with the help of the water company in
electing the council, the push expects
to have snap.
But the primaries are yet to be held.
Mr.. Slauson, if he Is nominated, will,
it is expected, open up literally, and the
Republican campaign fund would be
fat.
The water company would be tapped,
not it's mains, but it's treasury, and there
would be another source from which the
sinews of war could be obtained.
This was a beautiful scheme. The

The City Had the Property Once, But
the Sale Was Blocked by Some
of the Usual Underhanded
Methods

The Democratic party of Los Angeles
city has announced and declared
through it's general committee that it's
nominees will stand for municipal ow-
nership of the water system, but step
further in advance has been taken.
The Democratic party has advanced
the proposition that failing to acquire
the present plant of the city water conf
pany at reasonable figure, the city will
proceed to the construction, main
tenance and operation of an entirely new
distributing plant.
This is the position which the general
committee of the party has assumed
as the proper declaration for the party
to make, and now comes the next step,
which must be taken by the Democratic
city convention, which will be convened
next Saturday at Temperance temple.
There is no question about it. The Los
Angeles Water company will make a
desperate effort to control the Demo-
cratic primaries, which are to be held
next Wednesday evening, between the
hours of and p. IN.
The primaries will be held in the old
precincts of the city, and not under the
new precincts, save in the recently an
neXed districts.
1t behooves every Democrat who has
the good Of the city, the good of the peo-
pie and the good of his party at heart
to turn out and vote at those primaries.
He should be on hand to prevent fraud,
to prevent suffers and repeaters from
getting in their work.
The Los Angeles Water company feels
confident of it's ability to control the Re-
publican city convention. All that it
needs, therefore, to secure the election Of
men to office who will be subservient to
it's wishes is to capture the Democratic
primaries and thereby control the Dem
ocratic convention and it's nominees.
The water companys interests are in
the hands of trained manipulators, who

1t took the colone. ceveral days to get
onto the fact that in indorsing the cam
didacy of Mr.. Slauson he had been
tricked. But he finally did, and since
then he has been silent as to Mr. Slau

he would give the city as mayor.

enough to charge Walter F. Parker with

agrees with Col. Otis. He thinks the
push has been downed SO does the
colonel. If this be true the Slauson
business candidacy has gone down
with it. for without the push Mr.. Slau-
son will cut no figure in the Republican
convention.
If you want to know how Julius Mar
tin is running for mayor "See Day about
it." Day is the man who has that mat
ter in charge. Somebody said Day was
a candidate for council in the Second
ward. Day says no. and Day ought to
know. Day is very busy nowadays. He
thinks Martin is going to be nominated
for mayor, and he permits no grass to
grow under his feet. Day is an active
energetic man. He was not born yes

The friends of Mayor RAIDER are slip

field and one of them may win, but the

success will not arise until the conven-
ton meets. Then it is possible that

DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK
The Candidacy of M. p. Snyder and T..
f. Rowan For Mayor

The contest for the Democratic NOM
ination for mayor is confined to M. p.
Snyder and T. E. Rowan.
Mr.. Snyder's friends feel confident that
he will be the nominee. 1t cannot be
disputed that if the sentiment of the
party is fairly polled at the primaries
Mr.. Snyder will be overwhelmingly the
popular choice. He is being bitterly an
tagonized by the water company and by
every man who in the past has operated
in public office in connection with the
water company.
OF course Mr.. Rowan has a number of
personal friends, who are making an ac-
tive canvass for him, and there are
others who are under personal obliga-
tions to Mr.. Rowan. AS long as he is a
candidate they will favor him. 1t would
be extraordinary if they did not do 50.
The feeling among Democrats gener-
ally, however, is that in nominatine
candidates for office this year the men
who are named must fit the issues which
will be outlined in the platform. Honest.
