NUMBER OF VISITORS

. According to the statement Of G. F.
Richardson, master of transportation of
the Southern Pacific, that company alone
brought in to this city 145 900 people to
witness the festivities of last week. OF
this number 900 arrived over the broad
gauge, 40 900 over the narrow-gauge and
the coast division brought no less that H.
900. This count is based on the actual
number of tickets sold and does not in
cude the thousands who arrived before
the commencement of the week and those
brought here by other lines, which should
swell the total to something like $50 600
Every one Of these joined the entire pop
ulation on the streets to witness the night
parade.
Traffic Manager Mccormick of the
Southern Pacific Company denies the re-
Gently published report that his company
has refused to recognize the tickets of
the Rio Grande Western and the Colorado
Midland over its lines. Mr.. Mccormick
says that this city is the only place where
tickets over those two lines are not issued
and that is because of an agreement en-
tered into with the traffic men of those
roads, which have not yet completed their
end Of it here. Tickets are issued at Los
Angeles and are honored wherever they
are presented. Mr.. Mccormick says the
Los Angeles statement is completely un-
authorized and that he cannot understand
whence it emanated.
