tober
AY RIVAL ELECTRIC LINE

Beginning about October the South
ern Pacific railroad will place in opera
ton between Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena one of the new gasoline motor
cars and will enter into active compe-
tition with the Pacific Electric rail-
way.
In district where the electric rail-
way has been carried to the highest
perfection attained in the United States
the new car, characterized by r. H.
Hartman as an invention destined to
become revolutionizing factor in
steam railroading, is at once to be put
to the severest test.
Word was received here yesterday
by Superintendent Ingram of the
Southern Pacific that one of the four
cars now under construction In the
Union Pacific shops at Omaha had been
assigned to the road under his juris-
diction.
At the present time the Southern
Pacific has six daily trains in service
each way, between Los Angeles and
Pasadena. Whether any or all of them
are to be discontinued has not yet
been determined, but IL the motor car
comes UP to the expectation of Of
ficials it will make six daily trips to
and from Los Angeles and Pasadena
city.
Would Save Expenses
Officials Of the Southern Pacific say
one of the chief objects in giving the
gasoline motor trial on the local
lines is to experiment and If possible
reduce the present expense of running
the interurban trains now in use.
Following the trial Of the motor car
between here and Pasadena as an ex-
pertinent, it will be placed on the Red
lands and Riverside branch.
Our interurban trains between here
and Pasadena have not filed Southearn
Pacific Golfers to any great extent"
said an official of the company yester-
day, land we are hoping the expert
ment may bring reduction in running
expenses. We shall try to run the gas
motor car and one or two extra
coaches, but until the car arrives from
Omaha we will not know what its ca
pabilities are.
II am afraid we cannot compete
with the Pacific Electric. Huntington
runs cars every ten or fifteen minutes
and lands passengers in the heart of
both cities. This we are of course un-
able to do, which as detriment to us
is of vital importance"
