RAILROAD BUILDING.
In 1894 the Santa Fe railroad struck
Southern California and Immediately
began to grdiron this country with its
branches. This is one of the principal
| reasons for the celebrated business boom
here during the years 1SS6-87-years that
| made and lost fortunes for so many peo-
pie, but which left in it's wake many
valuable improvements that would never
have been made under less invigorating
conditions.
The Santa Fe company secured pos
session of the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
| road. then built a line from Barstow
through the Cajon pass to San Bernar-
dino. to Cotton, leaving Riverside, a little
to one side, going through Box
Springs canyon, through the west end
of the San Jacinto valley to Elsinors
lake, then down through the Temecula
canyon and along the coast to San
Diego.
A little later line was built from
San Bernardino westward along the
| foothill section to Pasadena and Los
Angeles. Another line was built from
| Los Angeles to connect at Oceanside
| with the original line, and still another
line was built from what was afterward
called East Riverside down the valley
| through Riverside, and South Riverside
(now Corona) to Rincon. then down
| through Bedrock canyon to Orange.
where it connected with the surf line
| from Los Angeles to San Diego.
Still later the loop line was built from
San Bernardino to Redlands, through
! the Highland country, crossing the Santa
| Ana river to Mentone, thence to Graf
| ton and Redlands back to San Bernar-
dino again.
THE CHAFFEY BROTHERS.
In 1881 the Chaffey brothers made
move to develop the foothill country in
the western part of San Bernardino
county. They first bought tract OF
country and founded Etiwanda, having
secured about two hundred inches OF
water for irrigating 1900 acres of land on
a basis of one inch to eight acres. Hav-
ing successfully launched this enterprise
and sold most of the land they purchas-
ed the large tract of land where Ontario
now stands, reaching from the Southern
Pacific railroad to the mountains. They
then procured a half interest in San
Antonio creek and formed the San An
tonic Water company on basis
of an inch of water to ten
acres of land. They laid ous
that magnificent double drive, Euclid
avenue-extending seven miles from
the railroad to the mountains. They
founded the Chaffey College Of Agricul-
ture and endowed it with half the town
site of Ontario, which covered a section
of land. This college is today magnin-
cent monument to their business sn-
gacity and liberality. A couple OF yearu
later, not being able to sell land fass
enough to meet their liabilities, they re-
tired from the enterprise with heavy lose
and went to Australia. Chaffey brotheD

in the spring of 1885, which sent passen-
ger fares from Chicago to Los Angeles
down to IS and kept them there for sew
eral weeks, all these things stimulated
the speculation fever and sent it up to a
point never before reached in this coun-
try.
1t was during the summer of 1886 that
the speculative fever broke forth. Rail-
road building always calls for the laying
out of new towns. The speculative tend
ency of the times induced men to lay out
many towns which were not needed, and
which have never materialized, while in
legitimate towns and cities additions

The late Sir Richard Burton's transla-
ton of the Arabian Nights" was sold
out in ten days and brought $4,000,
upon which he and wife lived royalty
for five years. At his death but two dol

Burton deposited it in the poor box
of her church.
1t is a singular fact that while the
primate of all England stands next to
the royal family in rank, his wife re-

In recent letter to the Harvard
club, of San Francisco, President Eliot
wrote of the late Profs. Whitney and
Child: whenever we lose men of such
eminence it always seems as if it were
impossible to fill the vacant places, and
indeed just the same places are never
filled. The work which these two men
did is not to be done again, and their
opportunities will not occur again"

Holland boat can remain under the
water ten or twelve hours at a time
and can discharge torpedoes at the en-
emies' vessels while submerged and out
of sight. If she proves success our
navy will be almost doubled in eff
cheney and We can defy the world if
necessary.

Mr.. Richard Cornelius, cashier Of
the National Farmers and Planters
Bank, of which the late Enoch Pratt
was for many years president, COM
mitted suicide byjumping into a pond
in Druid Hill Park yesterday, says the
Sun. Officers of the bank say that the
cashier was short in his accounts.
No man in Baltimore was more
highly respected than Mr.. Cornelius.
The news of his death aud defalcation
came, therefore, with startling sur
prise.
The directors of the bank took
prompt action for thorough investi-
CATION. AT their request Mr.. Adam
A. Ross, Jr., an expert accountant of
Philadelphia, came to Baltimore last
night and at once began AN examina-
ton. Bank Examiner Marshall Win
working with him at the bank all
night.
At midnight it was stated that the
shortage in sight amounted to about
$4,000, and Vice-President Whitridge
said it was not likely to exceed that
amount. The hank is protected to the
extent of $4,000 through the bond of
Mr.. Cornelius, in the Employers Liza
bility Corporation of London. Mr..
E. Stanley Gary, one of the directors
of the hank. said that the bond was
placed through Lawford & McKim
and $751; of The amount through re-
insurance with the Fidelity and De-
posit Company of Maryland.
The bank has surplus of $780,
10000, according to the last public
statement made. This is the institu-
ton that the late Enoch Pratt was the
honored president for so many years.
1t is said in connection with Mr.. Cor
nelius's crime, that he did not spec
ulate in the stock markets to any great
extent, that he was an active church
worker, man Of domestic traits and
the last one on whom any suspicion
would have fallen, in eases of uncer-
tainty. The shock of the suicide aud
deialcation falls with severest force
upon his wife and daughter, the for
mer being under the care of the family
physician.

be produced here, bat enough has been
said to set unbiased minds a-lhinking.
Now may we ask again, what are they
doing to help the course of prosperity
and realize on the promises they made
to delude the voter into their meshes
last fall? Practically nothing; inn
practically talking tariff. Yes, they are
talking tariff, and if the people of this
broad, smiling land of liberty (?) do
not lonk carefully, they cannot
act now, that was done last
fall, they will see foisted upon
them another Republican mon
strosity in the shape of protec-
tive measure, if not more partizan and
proscriptive than heretofore, at least as
dangerous to our commercial welfare
and national honor. At election times
they had a fan fare on golden trum-
pets with heavy martial music and no
one noticed the shrill tone of the most
discordant instrument in the ensemble.
Now that they have the world
in Il sling, they are talk
ing tariff, while dim firesides rebuke
their arrogance and hungry mouths
cry aloud in misery. We had this be-
fore under the reign of protection and
now it is again threatend. All the
newspapers that helped Mckinley to
make the great fight he did are clam
oring for some light in the dark places,
but none is forthcoming. The New
York Herald, one of the most bitter
anti-Bryan journals during the cam
paign, says:
"There have been sixteen bank fail
ures in the West and South since No
vember; some of them in Chicago it
self and in st. Paul. Does Mr. McI<in-
ley think Il new tariff would have pre-
vented them? They are due in part to
overtrading and overlending on an UNI
sound basis. They are due primarily
to the condition of the currency which
produces glut of money in New York
and a scarcity elsewhere. Would the
tariff help that?"
This brings us back to one of the
most important platforms of the Demo-
cratic party in the late election, which
declares for the issuance of money only
by the government and a curtailment
of the control of national currency by
private institutions. The Republican
party made no specific remedy for eX-
isting evils apparent, but put up the
evasive catch-phrase of "Bimetallism
with international agreement" Not
to fight the war over again, we have to
say that the trouble does not lie mainly
or in great part in the tariff. We have
good tariff now, and uuder conditions
that were not forced and unatural,
things would be in better shape Upon
the shoulders of the incoming admin
istration rests the resp lsibility ofmak-
ing an equitable settlement of the
matter, but it cannot be done with glib
promises and high protective tariff
hearings behind closed doors.
