gain an idea of what is in the wind
when they are informed that under the
new order of things the rate to Pasa-
dena, for instance, from Los Angeles
is to be less than s cents each way
The present rate by trolley, 25 cents for
the round trip, with the family commu
tation tariff in the neighbOrhood of 10
cents each way. The existing tariff by
steam is $3.50 for 80 rides. a reduction
under the new rate of not quite so per
cent
1t developed today that the new rates
are also to affect all of the beach rates
contiguous to this city, and the uniform
tariff to and from Redondo, Long
Beach, Santa Monica. Terminal island
and San Pedro will, it is expected, be
$3.50 for the 80 ride single trips, to be
used during any one calendar month.
This figure cuts existing rates from
S5 to so per cent. The cheapest rate
now in existence is 81. so for 10 rides to
or from any of these places, or 50 for
what had been cut to $3.50, the propos-
ed new figure referred to.
The new tariffs were finally agreed
upon at a conference held in San Fran
cisco last week between E. A. McCor-
mick, passenger traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific and General Passen-
ger Agent John J. Byrne, representing
the Santa F'e.

Steel Strike Delays Work on
Horton Shops.
Unable to Get Boilers and Other
Steel Material.
$50 FOOT SMOKESTACK.
Sheet Steel Work on Stack at
Standstill.
$50 FOOT SMOKESTACK.
$4,000 Worth Of Improve
ments Are Being Delayed.

The steel strike in the east is re-
sponsible for delays in the completion
OF about $50, 900 worth of improvements
in additions to the Rock Island shops
at Horton.
Plans for this work were approved
early this year and ground was broken
for the foundations for the buildings
about three months ago. The stone and
brick work of the walls and the girders
for the roof have been erected, and
the remainder Of the work has been de-
layed for upwards of six weeks. This
is because the CON pany has SO far been
unable to get some new boilers and
other steel for inside work which must
on one end Of the building. as there
is considerable machinery to be placed
under cover that is too large to be
taken through the ordinary doors.
The Horton shops are more cen
trally located than any of the other
shops of this road, and consequently
are being enlarged to a size adequate to
meet the demands made upon them
Although this company has always
experienced great difficulty in securing
a plentiful water supply at Horton, the
expenditure of large sums of money In
improvements at this point indicates
that the shops win always be main
tained there. despite the fact that con-
siderable property has been acquired
by the Rock Island east of Potwin in
this city for the express purpose OF
shop and terminal improvements
A new steel smokestack 6x15O feet. is
among the i'm provements scheduled for
Horton, as soon as material can be Sc
cured to complete the work.
