4 RAILWAY INTO THE YOSEMITE.
Many Indications that the Old Project Is
About to BE Executed.

The often proposed and much opposed project
of a railroad into the Yosemite Valley Is about
to be carried out. The Yosemite Valley and
MERGED Railway Company was Incorporated in
San Francisco last week with a capital Of
81. 500. 600 of which 500, 900 was subscribed, and
the incorporators promise to begin work on the
railroad at once and push it to completion as
quickly as the contractors can do the work.
There have been many propositions to build
such a road. but every suggestion has been re-
ceived with a storm of protests. The usual
ground OF protest has been that a railroad
would destroy the beauty of the region and be
an agent for vandalism. The later schemes
have been for an electric railroad. the arGu-
ment being that such q road would possess
none of the Objectionable features of q steam
railroad. None OF the former schemes took
practical shape. There seems no doubt that the
present project will go through. and the road
will be a regular standRrd-gauge steam rail-
road. Surveys were made a year or more since
trio road, and these surveys have been pur-
chased by the new company.
The Yosemite Valley road will begin at Nor
ced. which is on the line OF the Southern Pacific
Railroad, and is now the starting place for the
stages running into the Yosemite. and will run
directly TO the MERGED River at Smelling, a dis
lance OF about ten miles. From Smelling the
road will run through the Gallon or the MERGED
River for the remainder OF its length. some
seventy miles, terminating at a point one and a
half miles from the entrance to the Yosemite
National Park. The scenery through the CANON
Is especially fine. and In some parts is as grand
as any in California. The railroad will run
through some rich mining districts, and will de-
pend for 1T g. pT1its as I m nIii on u It's sire freight as IL Its
Quarries of marble. lime, and granite, and for
ests of sugar pine and other tim Der, all OF which,
1t is expected, will produce business.
The incorporators are well-known San Fran
cisco capitalists. The President. of the road
SAYS a final location survey will be made soon,
and the work OF grading the roadbed will be
begun early In the coming summer. II IL ex-
pected that the road Will increase very greatly
the number of sightseers in the Yosemite. The
present means of reaching the valley make tho
trip slow and expensive, while the railroad will
make II quick and comparatively cheap. Every
consideration will be given, in laying out the
route. to the scenic surroundings.

A bicycle Track in Park Extension.

Editor Morning News: One has but to
spend one of these pleasant afternoons
at the city park to realize how great the
bicycle craze is in Savannah, and one
can but commend such outdoor exercise
If performed discretionately, in place of
the continuous solitude of the office, store
or studio, and the bright rosy looking
faces clearly testify to the value of such
outdoor exercise in building up good
healthy constitutions among the classes
not able to own and care for horses and
carriages for their daily drives and recre-
atoms.
Therefore, the idea suggests itself that
since the bicycle rider has taken the city
by storm, and crowded its streets and
thoroughfares, If the street committee
put some shell or cinder on a track around
the outer edge of park extension, so as
TO make a light roadbed for bicycles, it
would meet the hearty approval of all
citizens, for even those who do not ride
a wheel would be glad to have the pleas
ure riders concentrated at the park and
not continue to cumber the public thor
oughfares.
This track could be built at little ex-
pense to the city, as the park is now
level enough to require no grading and
some of the new bicycle. tax money could
be used to make the Improvement. Be-
sides the above advantage of this track
it would be pretty sight for anybody to
witness the merry riders as they go flying
around the arena like the jolly skaters
of the north. "A. Wheeler"
