A MILE OF LAND.
Santa Fe Has Acquired Large Hold
ings in San Bernardino.

The Santa F'e now owns a strip of land
commencing at I street and running
west along Third street a mile in
length, says the San Bernardino Times
Index. This is the result of the move
made quietly some time ago to secure
for the company additional acres for
yard and other purposes. The last par
eel of land was bought yesterday and
now every foot of land which F. T. Per
ris, acting for the company, set out to
buy has been bought and paid for.
1t is understood to be the purpose of
the company to extend the yards on the
new land, to store lumber and ties
there, and to make other changes of
another nature when the time comes.
AS has been reported it is the inten-
ton of the company to increase the size
of the shops but just when this improve
Elent will commence is not known, and
though rumor still persists in the story
that the Santa Fe will do the repair
work for the Salt Lake for the next ten
years. nothing authentic can be OBJ
tanned.
1t is certain that the railroad intends
to expend many thousands of dollars in
the Improvement of its property just
bought, and that these improvements
will be of substantial nature, and add
to the business of the town The prop
erty newly acquired fronts on Third
street and has a depth of 300 feet ex-
tending half way to Fourth.

HAS CHENEY SOLD OUT
Santa Fe Magnate Reported to Have
Sold San Diego Property.

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 27.-It is reported
here that immense holdings of Benjamin
P. Cheney, the prominent Santa Fe off
cial. located in the vicinity of this city,
have been sold to Homer H. Peters, the
former wealthy Chicagoan, who now
sides here, and has become a prominent
figure in the local railroad enterprises.
The consideration is said to have been
100000.
The property, which was originally
owned by the San Diego Land and Town
company. includes the National City and
OtaI railroad, which extends fifteen miles
to Tia Juana, on the Mexican border, to-
gether with a branch of several miles to
the Sweetwater dam, several thousand
acres of land about Sweetwater valley,
National City and Chula Vista, including
500 acres in orchards, the Sweetwater
water system, with an enormous dam and
distributing system, a citrus acid factory
at National City, and considerable real
property, both in San Diego and National
City.
Mr.. Peters is believed to be associated
with others in the purchase.
Realty dealers have received orders
from the managers of the companies in
structing them to strike all the land and
the town companies properties from their
lists.
Mr.. Peters will not state that the deal
is closed, but acknowledges that there is
truth in the report that he has under
taken the financing of the project
Mr.. Peters is president of the Chamber
of Commerce here, vice president of the
First National bank president of the San
Diego Imperial Construction company and
otherwise allied with prominent business
interests, besides having already started
the construction of a $500. 900 hotel here.

GOT SOME INFORMATION.
superintendent Hubbard Heard Him
self Freely Discussed.

They tell this one on Mr. Hibbard
until recently superintendent of the
division, now SUI
Perintendent o the Southern California
division. Two engineers, Jones and
Smith, were busy taking in the yards
at Winslow Smith knew Mr.. Hubbard
well. but Jones didn't Mr.. Hubbard
was stroIling through the yards and ap-
preached the two men, attracted by the
loud talking of Jones. The latter was
sore on the road and the superintendent
and on the management of things in
general, and was telling in a very ex-
pressive way what he thought of the
blankety blank superintendent and his
way of doing things. Smith vainly en-
deavored to give Jones bunch, wink
ed at him violently, and did other
things. but Jones couldn't catch on.
Hubbard meanwhile looked on with a
twinkle in his eye After the big super
intendent had turned his back and
started away Smith said. Good Lord
man, that was Mr.. Hibbard standing
behind you" Jones turned pale around
the gills and his jaw dropped as he
looked at the retreating back of the SUI
perintendent. He would have sold his
job for thirty cents and expected to get
the can" at once. But he never heard
anything more about the incident

ROCK ISLANDS MOVE.
It Gets Credit for the New Line to
San Diego, Cal.

Los Angeles. Cal, jan 27--San Diego
citizens are just as certain that the
new railroad planned for that city is
backed by the Rock Island as they are
that the line will be built. In railroad
circles the proposed line has attracted
a great deal of attention and many
ruInors as to the ownership of the San
Diego Eastern are in circulation. The
most generally accepted theory is that
the Rock Island is the real promoting
force. The men in San Diego who are
supposed to be wise regarding the pro-
ject keep remarkably silent, as does H.
T. Richards of this city. who holds the
position of chief engineer of the COM
pany. They all refuse to talk, but
their silence adds strength to the be-
lief of the San Diego populace.
Everywhere but in Rock Islandi cir
cles it is stated as a fact that the sys-
tenn has acquired the FL Paso and
Southwestern. In the region touched
by the Southwestern road the line is
known as the Rock Island, and it is
seldom called the Ell Paso and South
western. This, in connection with the
announcement made in the Los An
geles Herald" that the Rock. Island
will form an alliance with the Mexican
Central, strengthens the belief that the
San Diego road is to become a part of
the great system now planning a coast
outlet.
The boom at San Diego resulting
from the belief that the road will be
built is steadily growing. Values are
increasing rapidly and the citizens of
the town already picture themselves
residents of the metropolis of the coast

WANT $50 RATE.
West Anxious for Low Price Tickets

where he will attend the passenger
meeting of the TranscontinentaI Pas

ness to come before the meeting this
year is said to be the matter of rates
to the St. Louis exposition.
Railroad men in the west are making
a strong demand that a round trip rate
of at least $50 be made, but such action
is considered doubtful Fifty-dollar
round trip rates are frequently made
from the east to the coast, but seldom
is such a cut made on this side. The
consensus is that the rate will be S57

Il agreed with Mr.. Mckinley" contin-
ued Mr.. Bryan.
That is why did what I could to re-
organize the Democratic party. 1 never
regretted what I did, and, if necessary,
will do it again.
Later Mr.. Bryan said: Labor organi-
cations allow each man to have a con-
science. Capital is combination of
money, and money has not a conscience
l am told that labor organizations are in
danger. I am willing to stand this danger
for little while until we rid the country
of dangers you don't complain Of. There
are very many differences between organ
izatiOns of labor and organization of cap
ital. Remember, that the laboring man is
your brother and as such you must treat
him as your brother. He has his rights
as much as we have our rights.
Il want you to know that the laboring
man has done great good to this country.
Where has the trust in any way done
good? We must settle the labor question
by d moral ISSUE.
Mr. Bryan closed with an invocation of
divine aid for the laboring men and the
equalization of all.

LEFT IN THE MUD.
Fifty Belgian Locomotives Abandoned
by French at Panama Canal

A correspondent of the Houston Post
writing from Panama. tells of the ras-
cality of the French company which
tried to dig canal through the 18TH
mus. He saws:
In crossing the railroad fill, from
Colon to the mainland. one comes
quickly to one of the most glaring OF
all the available proofs of French raS-
cality- Lying in the mud, soft silt and
swamps, are fifty Belgian locomotives,
built especially to the order of the
Panama Canal company, and in their
day as perfect pieces of machinery as
Europe had ever produced From some
of these locomotives the partial Grating

cred after they were delivered here
that "a mistake had been made in or
dering them They were all ordered for
a different gauge railroad from that
on the isthmus and were therefore en-
tirely useless. But instead of being
sent back to Europe to be sold where
they might be used. they were dumped
in the mud and there they lie today.
The crime of those locomotives is
rivaled for downright rascality by an
other which protrudes it's proof all over

to pay off his men The highwaymen
called on him to halt. but instead of
complying O'Mera opened fire, killing
one and Wounding a second. The third

men were Mexicans-
