Railroad Rumor

! Several local railroad men were inter-
viewed yesterday relative to the report
which has been circulated that Lucky
Baldwin has commenced work in the
Santa Anita canyon on what Is to prove
an electric line through the pass made
by the north fork Of the San Gabriel
canyon to connect with the Valley road
at some point the other side Of the Sierra
Madre range. It was stated that there
Is an easy grade through this pase and
that the electric line which is to be con-
structed Is simply for the purpose OF
holding the pass until the Valley road
sets ready to extend its line to Los An
gelee
w. q. Nevin, general manager Of the
Southern California railroad, was the
first person seen In regard to the matter.
He said that he had not given the mat
ter any thought and did not believe that
there was anything in It, II do not
think that the pass is practicable for
railroad line to be built even If such
an enterprise were contemplated" he
said, because II it were the Southern
Pacific would never have gone as far
out Of It's way to get through, and, be-
sides, have never heard that the VAL
ley road contempiates coming to Los
Angeles. Altogether. fail to see upon
what ground the story Of this extension
IL built.
r. B. Henderson, chief clerk in the
Southern California railway office, was
not ready to believe the story until it
was founded upon more than a mere re-
port. ITO begin with" he eaid. 1.-The
grade Of one foot in sixteen Is entirely
impracticable for a steam railroad and
certainly see no inducement for an
electric road to be built in such place."
J. A. Muir, division superintendent Of
the Southern Pacific. said: had never
heard Of the story before and I do not
take any stock in 1t. There Is no reason
to suppose that the Valley road contem-
plates any immediate extension to this

and then for the first time Lambert
realized, what his regimental comrades
had marked for months, that he pre-
ferred the panionship of the bat
terry men to that of the men who wore
the bugle, the badge of the infantry in
those benighted days. Old Brax con
cluded he had had enough of garrison
life, and sought long leave. Maj.
Minor took command of the regiment
and post, and the adjutant and quarter
master took command of Maj. Minor.
1t had neither been forgiven nor forgot
ten by these staff officials that Lam
bert had been equally outspoken in de
tense of Close and denunciation of his
accusers, and the further fact that he
preferred to spend his leisure hours
with his fellow-graduates of the artil-
lery rather than his uncongenial breth-
ren of the -teenth gave the offended
ones abundant material to work on.
Minor was a wealiling-a bureau officer
during the war days, man who could
muster and disburse, without q flaw,
but never set a squadron in the field
without ''fuke." Lambert was a cap
ital drill-master ard tactician, and 81"
company, under his instruction, was
rapidly overhauling every other in the
regiment, even. those of Kinsey and
Lively, the two real soldiers among the
captains. Minor hated the sight of "A

dress parade. Lambert had clear,
ringing voice. and Minor couldn't make
himself heard. One morning the or
derly came to Lambert at company drill
with 1.-The majors compliments, and

the adjutant's doing, as things turned
out afterwards, but it angered Lambert
against his commander. Then, when
Nav came round and he asked for hree
davs' leave, Minor hummed and hawed
and looked at his staff officer and final

Lambert would be expected hereafter
