NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS
PROGRESS OF THE SEVERAL PRO-
JECTS OF THE TERMINAL
The Steamship Company Discontinues
Its Sale Of Canadian Pacific
Tickets-Personal Mention

The little Terminal is becoming am
bilious, and evidently intends to let Its
loathsome contemporaries in the railroad
world know that it Is here. On the au-
thority of President Leighton it has been
announced that the company intends to
build to Pomona, and then to no one knows
where Yesterday Vice President r. Il
Gibbon stated that the company would
also very soon make another attempt to
make an electric line of it's road to Pasa-
dena, something that 1t was prevented
from doing last year, by the combined OPP
position of the First National bank of that
city and the Pasadena Electric Railway
company. 1t will also electricize the
Glendale branch of it's system. meeting
was held on Friday night by the people of
Glendale, at which the subject of the sub
sidy of $500 desired by the company was
discussed, and 1t was thought that there
would be no difficulty In coming to an
agreeable agreement
The people of Glendale are represented
by committee composed Of Messrs. Dr. C.
V. Bogue, f. II. Byran and r. G. Doyle;
of TropicO, c. G. Chandler and A. s. Stim-
son; OF Los Angeles. Oscar Lawlor. The
subsidy Is to be made up of three INSTALL
ments. the first to be paid to the company
when the poles are put up the second when
the service begins, and the third ninety
days after the cars are successfully Op-
Grated. The company binds itself to make
seven round trips q day to Rossmoyne,
with transfers to the street cars of this
city at round trip fare of twenty cents to
Glendale.
The road has had a hard time of 1t since
the fight commenced on San San Pedro,
but ever since Vice President Gibbon took
hold of the executive end of it's affairs it
has had roster prospect before it.
The fact of Mr.. Richard Kerens' ap-
preaching visit to this city is in line with
the various progressive steps to be taken
with the property. He will come evidently
to pass finally upon the projects as he rep
resents very large holding in the prop
erty, and virtually controls it. He knows
all about Southern California, as he drove
a stage in San Diego county when he was
out here a young man seeking his fortune
many years ago.
VICTORIA RATE WITHDRAWN
The Pacific Coast Steamship company
yesterday announced that it would with
draw it's through rates to Boston and New
York via San Francisco and the Canadian
Pacific road at Victoria. This, however.
will not prevent travellers from making the
journey to the far east by that route at a
considerable saving, as long as the forty
dollar rate from San Francisco to New
York is maintained, for the regular steam
ship fare from here to San Francisco Is
twelve dollars and a half which. added to
the forty-dollar rate of the Canadian road,
makes only fifty dollars and half, as
against seventy-nine dollars by the regular
overland routes.
NOTES OF TRACK AND TIE
1t Is thought that the railway companies
may yet subscribe to the La Fiesta fund
when they see how much the people take
their refusal to heart
Railway nabobs are thick hereabouts of
late. Vice President Brooks of the Penn
sylvania Central has just gone. D. B.
Robinson. president of the st. Louis and
San Francisco, will arrive here on tomor-

Island arrived last night and went to

In San Francisco is here for short stay on
business.

eral superintendent of the Santa Fe, has
