PASADENA


of whom affect to see in these stories the
beginning of a great network of lines ex-
tending to all the towns along the base OF
the foothills east of Pasadena, while others
think it is simply an attempt to bluff the
Terminal The Pasadena and Los Angeles
company Is said to have captured the pass
back of Sierra Madre which leads over into
Antelope valley, with the ostensible pur-
pose of extending their line from Pasadena
over this route. To the average citizen it
looks little doubtful, to say the least,
whether such a line would pay a very
handsome dividend and it is far from prob
able that the company has any such object
in view. T. E. Gibbon, vice-president of
the Terminal road is now in Salt Lake pre-
sumably with the intention of pushing the
Salt Lake road to Los Angeles, and it is
not entirely outside the range of possibility
that the electric company has endeavored
to secure the pass mentioned, in order to
forestall the Terminal. In the meantime,
the citizens of Pasadena would like very
much to know when work Is to begin on
the extensions that are so freely promised,
and for which they have been waiting so
long and patiently. Not a rail has been
laid as yet, and meantime the same old
Anticipated mule lines are running about
once every hour, or less, with no service
after night, which makes is decidedly in
convenient for people who live anywhere
except in the center of town.
