Santa F,e proposes to locate at one of
the towns, and the city trustees of
Kern have extended an official invita-
ton to Manager Wells of the company
to choose their town for the site of the
shops. An offer of land and all pos
sible assistance accompanied the invi-
tation to the Santa Fe's manager. The
company has no shops of any size be-
tween San Bernardino and Point Rich
mond, and the trustees of Kern think
that their town is the best in the val
ley for such purpose. The Southern
Pacific has large shops at Kern, and
should the invitation be accepted by
the Santa Fe the place would become
a prominent railroad center. Manager
Wells states that plans for the estab-
lishment of new shops in the valley
are very indefinite
