18th. The Santa Fe was notified Yesterday
morning bv telegram from General Pas
senger Agent Byrne in San Francisco to
refuse to sell tickets for any other route re-
turning than by Eel Paso. but in a short
time came another message from Mr..
Byrne saying to instruct agents to sell the
tickets for anv route returning that the
purchaser wished.
At the Southern Pacific ticket and gen.
eral offices absolutely nothing was known
about the tickets being good for any but
the Ell Paso route returning, and in fact
little or no information could be had. 1t
was apparent that Mr.. Byrne of the Santa
Fe and Mr.. Goodman of the Southern Pa
cific had had a conference on the subject,
and that they had reached a conclusion
which the Southern Pacific official had
failed to communicate to his agents in this
part of the state. A carload of the ex-
cursionists will leave this morning over
the Santa Fe. which continued yesterday
afternoon to sell the tickets good for any
route coming back. AT the Southern Pa
cific upstairs offices 1t was said that they

traction EXTENSION
That model street railway company, the
Traction, is about to extend its lines to
Boyle Heights via Fourth street and
thence by way of Fresno street to Ever
1t was learned yesterday from reliable
source that the contract for a massive
viaduct over the river at Fourth street had
been let and that the work would be done
inside of ninety days. Grading has already
been commenced by the company at Boyle
avenue, extending to the river bottom, and
rail laying, it is thought, will commence in
a very short time. This extension will give
the company an excellent cross-town sys-

taHey's MISSION
Don Juan T. Gaffey has gone to Wash
ington to work on the San Pedro harbor
matter The chamber of commerce of San
Pedro has raised a purse Of $125 (the peo-
pie who know Gaffey will smile at that, for
1t means just about one days expenses for
him in Washington, to pay the cost of his
maintenance at the capital as the agent
for the harbor's interests. 1t Is true that
some of the philosophical citizens OF that
place raised $500 more, SO he will be able to
live there at least forty-eight hours with
out digging into his own purse. Mr.. CAT
fey is a close friend of Senator White and
will be able to do good service for the pro-
ject, especially with the newspapers, for
he has all of the correspondents as his
warm friends as soon as he tells them a
story or two.
