SAN DIEGO TO SALT LAKE
The Deal for the Connecting
Railroad Has Been
Completed.
Southern Californians Believe the
Southern Pacific Is Backing
the Project

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 17.-Interest in
Mayor Carlson's mysterious moves in a
railroad project was suddenly revived to-
day when it was learned that deed had
been filed at San Bernardino conveying to
William II. Carlson, as trustee, the entire
Nevada Southern Railway Company's sys-
tenn, including road, rolling-stock, fran
chises, rights of way, surveys, maps and
all other property. The consideration
given is $5. The road is forty miles in
length, running from Blake station, just
west of the Needles on the Atlantic and
Pacific, northward to Marvel on direct
line toward Salt Lake.
The deed was signed by Isaac E. Blake,
president of the Nevada Southern Com
pany, at New York on the 9th inst, and
was received by Mayor Carlson Thursday.
He Immediately forwarded it to San Ber-
nardino County, to be placed on record.
Mr. Carlson was seen as soon as the news
was learned, but he was very uncommu uni
cative. Since his visit to New Orleans,
where he went with C. P. Huntington in
the latter's private car, the Mayor has
taken new tack and refuses to talk when
queried by reporters.
''Is it true that you have secured deed
to the Nevada southern?" was asked of
Mayor Carlson
eyes,
"What does it mean?"
"Well, / cannot say at this time"
"Whom do you represent as trustee?"
s'That 1 cannot make public. The fact
is that 1 cannot talk at this juncture and
you must excuse me-"
President Blake of the Nevada Southern
was formerly president of the Continental
Oil Company, and is intimate with the
magnates of the Standard Oil Company.
The gap between Marvel, the terminus
of the Nevada Southern, and Milford.
Utah, the terminus of the Union Pacifc's
Utah system, is $50 miles in length, and
100 miles of this has already been graded
southwest of Milford, leaving only 100
miles of grading to close the gap and con-
meet Salt Lake and San Diego by rail-

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 1.-THE
storm to-day on land was the heaviest of
the week, but the sea is as smooth as could
be expected in cloudy weather. After last
midnight the wind renewed its apparent
effort to produce a small hurricane and
succeeded in troublesome Interruptions of
electric lights. A portion of the time the
town was buried in darkness, with heavy,
beating rain to add to the severity of the
storm.
There was slight cessation of the rain
fall this morning. but in the early evening
the rain fell with tremendous force, 6riv-
ing everybody off the streets for two hours
The rainfall for twenty-four hours, ending
at o'clock this morning, was 80 ana it is
increasing so that the present twenty-four
hours Will nearly double that. The total
since Monday morning was at this morn
ing 200 inches. Tonight the falling
barometer indicates that the end is not
near.
San Lorenzo River is rising slowly, with
prospect that the dam built for the car
nival last summer will be washed out to-
night, in which case the outgoing broad
gauge train will be delayed in the morn
ing. The county road above the cut at old
tunnel No. : is cracking badly and is in
imminent danger of breaking, in which
case the narrow-gauge morning train can
not 60 out, as such disaster would block
that road completely.
The after-midnight storm last night was
so severe on the sea that the st. Paul could
not make its landing and was obliged to
pass by Santa Cruz, carrying freight and
passengers beyond. The rain extends
esst to Aptos, eight miles, and northwest
up the coast to Davenports, fourteen
miles. Watsonville, Boulder Creek and
the entire Paiaro Valley are sharing the
welcome deluge. The temperature here is
mild and equable, there being a difference
of only , degrees between last midnight
and last midday.
