SAN DIEGO HARBOH.
Los Angeles Herald Calls IL a salt
Lake Nightmare.

The Lost Angeles Herald has the fol
lowing to say regarding the rumor that
the Oregon Short Line Is heading for
San Diego and not for Los Angeles
Now we have a novel solution OF
the mystery relative TO the race Of the
Oregon Short Line toward southern
California. 4 salt Lake newspaper
kindly explains the matter, although
the nature OF the disclosure Is sug-
gestiye OF San Diegos inspiration. We
are told that the oregon short Line
has not the slightest idea Of going 20
san Pedro. on the contrary, the SUI
Ney runs down 10 San Diego along TIT
fogtieth parallel

ed Ia the news by way Of salt Lake,
tina, The city OF san Diego Is ready
ana willing 10 extend every Induce
ment TO the Oregon Short Line or any
other road 20 enter that city, But II
Is feafed that san Diego viii be
obliged TO pin its hope OF another roa1
TO the old and reliable project for a
Southern Pacific connection at Yuma.
Why a road seeking a coast outlet
should neodlessly traverse "a hundred
miles OF desert Is somthing that the
news from Salt Lake fails to disclose
sThe oregon Short Line Is part of
the same general system 10 which tho
southern Pacific railway belongs. II
would not be surprising, therefore II
the ultimate purpose should turn out
no be a short cut 10 Mojaye and a
function there with the Southern Pa
ciAc. That would be In accordance.
we believe. with the plan Of the lat,
Coils 2. Huntington. But the idea of
trailing a railway line from salt Lake
through trackless desert away dowi'
10 San Diego is either a san Diego
midsummer dream or a salt Lake
nightmare"
