LOCAL RAILWAY NEWS
MORE GOSSIP ABOUT THE SANTA
FE BUILDING NORTH
Chief Engineer Dunn's Interest in the
Valley Railroad and Its Plans.
Notes and Personals

There appears to be some foundation for
the reports that have been current for
some days, to the effect that the Santa Fe
! intends to build from the terminus of the
Randsburg road to Bakersfield to a con-
nectiS. with the Valley line at that place.
| President Ripley and General Manager
Nevin of the Santa Fe-Pacific have just
returned from a visit to San Francisco and
the northern part of the state, made in
company with Chief Engineer Dunn of the
Santa Fe. Mr.. Ripley and Mr.. Nevin have
returned from the journey, and the former
has gone east but Mr.. Dunn remained there
longer than the others, and showed consid-
cradle interest in the Valley road and its
plans. For a week past he has been study
ing the lines, both projected and built, Of
the Valley road in company with Chief
Engineer Story of that road, making per-
sonal inspection of the work done, going
over the road several times. Another
straw is the fact that before going north
the whole party made an inspection of the
Randsburg road, and made thorough
study of the region between the terminus
of that line and Bakersfield During all
of these trips, from the time Mr.. Dunn en-
tered the state, he was accompanied by
Mr.. Story of the Valley road, who placed
at his disposal all of the company's draw
ings and estimates.
President Ripley, in an interview given
just before he left for the east denied that
there was anything in the facts narrated.
to indicate that the company intended to
extend it's line to a union with the Valley
road He said that when the latter had
entered San Francisco it would be time
enough to contemplate such a thing, which
is not good sense or good railroading.
1t is given out on what should be good
authority that the proposed route by
which the Santa Fe intends to reach Ba-
kersfield would be by Walkers pass and
down the canon of the Kern river, as this
would be much shorter and easier to con-
struct route than by way of Moiave.
Though these are not supposed to be good
times for raising money, the Santa Fe
seems to have had no difficulty in getting
large amount with which to place its
main line in good order, so it may be pos
sible for it to get enough to build to the
north if it so elects.
Notes and Personals
Superintendent A. G.. Wells of the Santa
Te-Paciic has returned from a trip over
the line.
General Passenger Agent ]. ]. Byrne of
the Santa Fe-Pacific is expected from San
Francisco on Saturday.
The committee in Bakersfield on the
celebration of the completion of the Valley
road to that city have decided to take no
action for week, in view of the feeling
that the fund raised for the pur-
pose should be used for relieving the desti-
tute farmers or for equipment of the Ma
tional guard.

The Canvass Of the Returns Was Com
pleted in Marshall Yesterday.


AND THE COMMISSIONERS ADJ
JOURNED UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY.
TO TAKE UP THE DEMAND FOR
A RECOUNT FILED BY COUNSEL
FOR Mr.. DAVIS, WHO WAS DE-
FEATED BY MR.. DUNLEVY, BUT
MR.. B. F. MEIGHEN OBJECTED,
AND ON HIS DEMAND, BACKED
BY NOTHING SPECIFIC, THE COM
MISSIONERS ADJOURNED UNTIL
TODAY.
Just what political developments
will take place in Marshall county was
uncertain, last evening-but some
thing may be looked for
The Republican bosses down there
have some devilment on foot, from all
indications, and they will bear watch
ing until the pending canvass and re-
count is finally and definitely con-
Guided.
That this surmise is warranted, is
proven by what follows:
Yesterday the Commissioners met
again, and completed the work of
canvassing the returns, with the
results announced in yesterdays
Register, when r-r. wing, on
behalf of the Democrats, made
motion to reject all precincts
eight in number, in which there were
irregularities, and recited a number Of
causes for his motion, applying to
] ~
Mr.. Mcclure, Republican, acting for
Mr.. Davis, the candidate for County
Commissioner who was defeated by
Dunlevy, Democrat, filed motion for
a recount of the entire county for the
Office of Commissioner, and this matter
was set for next Tuesday, and the
Commissioners adjourned until that
time.
Just about the time this action was
concluded Hon. B. F. Meighen appear
ed on the scene and objected to the
Board adjourning to any other time
than to-day, the only reason assigned
by him being that he expected some in
formation from out the road and he
did not want the Commissioners to adj
journ over several days. This wink
was as good as nod to the Commits
sioners, and they rescinded their for
mer action to adjourn until Tuesday,
and adjourned until to-day.
Just what Mr.. Meighen expects
from "out the road" is past guessing;
but it is very apparent that the de-
claration of the result in Marshall
county is to be held back for an indie
finite period, for some purpose known
only to the inside Republican leaders.
Some political point is to be accom-
plished or attempted to be accomplish
ed by them and therefore matters are
to be delayed 1t is a strange thing
that four days does not constitute suf-
ficient time to ascertain and declare
the result in a county like Marshall.
The thing ought to be done in half the
time, even if there had been a recount;
and yet the apparent disposition is to
string things out Indefinitely, on one
pretext or another, for a purpose not
apparent Let the Marshall county
Republican leaders be watched closely
along with the managers in some of
the other counties in the State. 1t can
do no harm under existing circum-
stances.

IN PORTO RICO.
A Newspaper Which Falls into
 American Ways.

A ,py of La Bandera Americana" published at Msyaguez, Porto Rico, has been received. It has four col. umns to the page, aud consists of eight pages printed on two separate sheets. The qualty of paper used i- ve-y poor and coarse, hut doubtless it is as valuable in Porto Rico as much finer paper is here. The paper essays to print part of Its editorial rn alter in English, which is evidently carved out of the rough with a vsry dull hstchet. The editor, however. is ex- ercisins his prerogs,iye of free speech to give the new American mayor. Santiago R. Palmer, a rosst for hi- delinquencies, and concludes an article nearly a column and half long with the iutimstion that We have not finished." It would seem that Mayor Palmer is not running the adminIs- tratiop properly. One of the things charged uu against him is the fact that he has armed the policemen with "strong sticks" which are a subj ect of censure, because "it is against our culture and contary to our civiizs tion." The mayor also gave $500 to the former Spanish mayor for hi services. This the paper objects tom quaint English.
