The ] rails in question were ordered several 1 weeks ago to replace the temporary 1 side track which was put in after the | .f Manager Waterman of the CUyamaca 1 said this afternoon in talking of rail- l road building T only wish there was 1 some foundation for the runners that | have been circulated but unfortunately | there is none.
