Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 1l.-That the
long anticipated but long deferred Salt
Llke-Los Angeles railroad is at last to
be constructed is assured. From au-
IIen.!c sources in this city it has been
learned that the route has been definite
ly located. and the map has beer dis
played 10 a select few. The road ia to
be extended in a southwesterly direc-
ton from Milford, Utah, through the
southern portion OF the state OF Nevada.
passing through Las Vegas valley: then
across the Mojave desert, crossing the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad a few miles
from Ludlow station; thence to run in a
direct line to the San Lorenzo. through
which the engineers have found a line
that does no exceed a 2 per cent grade
at the steepest point. Thence it heads
for the San Muran pass. running north
Of the town Of Banning but passing
through the town OF Beaumont. Then
it runs through the Yacaipa valley to
Redlands. thence to Riverside canon:
crossing the San Timo.eo n and the
Southern Pacific railroad on a high tres
tie: thence directly west to Chino; thence
through the Paente hills north to Ana
helm, making A connection with the Los
angeles Terminal near the county farm,
rom which point the terminal Gao will
be used to reach Los Angeles city in one
direction OF San Pedro bay and harbor
in the other.
Bonds for the building OF the road
have been practically sold. and before
he close OF 1897 active construction will
have commenced. The public can esti-
mate about how long it will require to
complete the line in these days OF mod
ern railroad building. when the enter
prise is backed by unlimited money and
energy.
Those who are in a position to know
are thoroughly convinced that the work
on the San Pedro breakwater has been
delayed in the interest OF this new trans
continental line, and that as soon a the
railroad builders are ready. bids will
he advertised for and the work Of active
construction will at once commence.
There are certain contingencies which
may delay active construction for a short
time, but it is not thought probable
that there will be any serious delay. II
is a wellknown fact that the Wander
bilts own the Union Pacific railroad,
subject to the claim OF the United States
that n foreclosure suit is now in the
courts to secure the payment OF shat
claim. and the court has ordered the
sale Of the properly. to take place in Oc-
tcber. the Vanderbilts having agreed
to make a bid for the property that
would guarantee the government receiv-
ing s45. O0O. 900 for its claim. and that
there is a movement on foot to ecure
a postponement Of the sale until after
congress meets in December. 1t Is be-
lieved that active work will begin soon
after the settlement OF the government
claim against the Union Pacific, which
is only a matter OF a little time.

Mr.. Woodman OF Horse creek arrived

In the city. that some person or per-
sons fired three OF their hay stacks about
7oclock las evening. and that they were
totally DESTROYED. The three stacks con-
tanned about % tons OF hay each.
At the time the fire was first discover
ed the hired men were engaged in doing
the milking. They heard a noise in the
brush near one OF the stacks. but feared
to go after the miscreants in the APP

Cooks first victim was an old colored

Bright visions of my vanished youth,
Why do we rise TO haunt me here?
Phantoms Of early love and truth,
Shed with me tear for tear.
Ye wild, majestic mountain heights,
ROBBED In your mystic wells of blue,
Eternal hillsl enchanting skies
Time brings no changes unto you.
The Blue-Ridge sunsets are as grand,
AS glorious as in by-gone years;
But home, sweet home. thy tender light
The dream of love alone endears.
The whispering south winds gentle song
SO sweet to other ears than mine,
Seems like the plant which memory
breaks
= Around Hopes ruined shrine.
o, loving hearts! O., silver tones!
O, faces fair and pure and youngi
/ seem to hear in empty halls
The tales you told, the songs you sung.
Friends come to me with kindly speech;
They press me TO be glad and gay,
And 1 repress the starting tear,
And seem as idly blest as they.
They know not how these quiet paths.
Which they each passing year have trod
To me are avenues through which
Beloved ones have passed 70 God.
| reach my hands out all in vain;
The loving hands that answered mine
"HaVe passed into the voiceless land,
Beyond the hill divine"

EUROPEAN CROP SHORTAGE.

The American Agriculturist has been
making careful investigation of the
crop shortage abroad. Its returns indi-
cate that Europe's wheat crops for 1898,
1894 and 1895 averaged about 800 100000
bushels. In the famine year of 1891
Europe's wheat product was only 1,2OO,-
600. coo bushels. The impression, says the
Agriculturist, is gaining ground that
Europes wheat crop this year is even
less than in 1891. If so, she must not
only import her usual supply of wheat,
but 30OOO0,000 bushels more on top of
that. But this is not the worst of the
situation across the water, and the best
of it for us. Europe usually produces
as much rye-the bread grain of the
masses-as she does wheat. Her rye
crop is short and so also is her potato
crop. The rye crop of the principal
European countries-Russia, Germany,
France, Austria, Bulgaria, Roumania,
Italy, the Low Countries, and Sweden
has averaged about 1900 100000 bushels
annually for the last four years. This
season, according to the Agriculturlsts
reports and inquiries through cores
pondents in the countries of principal
production, the rye crop of these coun-
tries cannot much exceed $4,000 900
bushels--a condition that will make the
European deficit in the matter of the
two grains something like 6O0,0O0C0D
bushels. The average potato crop in the
countries above named is 2,S5O,OOo,Oo)
bushels. After due allowance for the
fears and exaggerations even of it's we'll
informed European representatives, the
], $50 600 bushels of potatoes will be
harvested in these countries this year.
The Agriculturist then goes on to state
that while the United States has no pota-
toes for export, if prices go high enough
the United States can spare 2i0,0OOO00
bushels of wheat, 800 100000 bushels of
corn. 100000 bushels of oats, and
10000, 900 bushels of rye, total of, say
$50, 100000 bushels, which will be the big
gest export ever made Of American
grain. and just about enough to offset
| Europe's need of wheat and rye. In
deed, the Agriculturist is convinced
that, in view of the European scarcity
of potatoes. together with the wheat
and rye deficit, Europe must take every
bushel OF food America can spare" At
the same time it warns its readers-and
its warning is something to be carefully
| considered by the farmers-that in re-
fusing a good, fair price, they assume
! spectators risks.
