THE LINE OPENED
The First Cars Run Over the Cutoff
Branch to Santa Monica

Although the line is not yet fully COM
pleted and open for regular traffic sew
eral cars were yesterday run over the
new cutoff branch of the Santa Monica
electric line which runs from Fourth
and Broadway out Hill to Sixteenth
street and thence on to the junction
with the main line near the station Of
Sherman. 1t was necessary to comply
with the terms of the franchise that a
car should be run over the line and by
dint of working night and day the rails
were finally connected so that the trip
could be made.
The curve at Fourth and Hill streets
could not be connected so that the cars
could pass, but a car was started from

Railroad men are proverbially on time.
Trains are late, sometimes, but that is
not the fault of the railroad men. So
when the Terminal depot was reached
and the newspaper bundles had been
piled on the waiting truck, the train was
ready and so were the trainmen. Con-

been carefully planned so that there
shall be no delay nor mishap of any
kind.
The pressman gives the word, and the
papers come thick and fast to the deft
hands of the waiting mailing clerks. In
less time than it takes to tell it the
damp sheets, cut pasted aud folded, are
counted wrapped. tied and labeled and
done into bundles-one for Long Beach,
another for San Pedro and still another

bundle still, and it goes with the rest,
but there is a special story connected
with this bundle, as you shall hear. Now,
it goes into the wagon with the rest.
The expressman loses no time, for he
understands the particular Importance
of this early morning service. He knows
that hundreds of The Herald readers,
scattered all the way from the city to
the magic isle, will be sorely disap-
pointed If connections are missed. So
the wagon rattles away over the pave
ment at a swift rate, even the horses
seeming to partake of the spirit of the
occasion.
A GRAY MORNING
1t was gray morning. A thick fog, the
first "low MIST for nearly a month,
hung over the city which was just rub

the railroad was concerned, that was
certain.
'All aboard" Promptly at 6 o'clock
the start was made. Slowly at first, as
one treads softly so as not to awaken
the sleeping, the train crept away from
the city, gaining speed with every foot
of advance, until we are fairly off and
away. Then we flew. The bucolic popu-
lation of the agricultural sections stared
in surprise at the unwonted train, and
more than one tousled head appeared at

amazement at the already disappearing

A heavy fog cloud hung over the magic

o'clock a thin column of smoke could be

lay hold of existing conditions and
adapt them to the demands Of the pres
ent business situation.
The great factor in enabling the peo-
pie of this city to do so large part of
the business of the country has been
the State canals. A few years ago
through the efforts of the chamber of
commerce, the scheme to enlarge the
canal was put through the Legislature,
and subsequently it received the ap-
proval of the people. The appropria-
ton authorized was nine millions of
collars, and this is now being expend-
ed on the waterways of the State. 1t
Is Ielt here that this appropriation was
not sufficient. and that a broader and
more comprehensive plan should have
been adopted, and that II should have
had in view the ultimate transportation
OF the products of the praries to the
seaboard without breaking bulk at any
point. AS this city will pay fully fifty
tive per cent. of the cost of the i'm
proyement of the canals the people
here think that the plans should be
MADE for the future, and that they
should be so developed as to enable the
city &c retain the trade which has been
built up with so much labor and effort.
The continual loss of trade to the city
means much. not only TO the people
living in it, but to the people of the en-
tire State.
