IMPORTANT CONNECTION WITH
GOLD COUNTRY
Road VIII Increase the commerce Of
Los Angeles at Least a Million
Tons Year and Add to Pros
perity Of This Great City

A million tons of freight year, fig
uratively speaking, added to the all
ready large commerce enjoyed by Los
Angeles and vicinity, with the enor-
nous ocean traffic that will come when
the harbor at San Pedro is completed:
the opening Of vast area of country,
immensely rich in mineral deposits
and agricultural and foreign products.
to the new gateway of the Pacific
Southern California--an empire in her
self
This is the plan now under consid-
Grafton by the Salt Lake road, the
scope of the project being to build
branch railroad from Las Vegas, Ne
vada, to Bullfrog, Goldfelds, Tonopah,
and to effect communication with all
that portion of the country.
1t is said the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe have been planning to build
into Southern Nevada, via Mojave and
Keller. the latter place being the ter
minus of a narrow gauge road running
through Owens valley. This line COM
mences at Monthouse, where a broad
gauge road from Reno terminates. The
narrow gauge is controlled by the
Southern Pacific, but the broad gauge
is owned by d. o. Mills and other east
ern capitalists.
Cost Of Road Small
| According to high railroad official.
| it will not cost more than $4,000 a
mile to construct the proposed new
line. If the Salt Lake decides to build
from Las Vegas to Bullfrog, q dis
taDce of little over a hundred miles.
the outlay will be comparatively small.
considering the enormous traffic that
will follow its completion.
BY the building of this line Los
Angeles will -be assured of practically
all the rich commerce that is now going
to San Francisco, as there will be
saving of several hundred miles in
handling freight into and out of south
ern Nevada.
Vice-President ]. Ross Clark of the
Salt Lake railroad stated to The Herald
Yesterday that his company is inves-
tIgating conditions in southern Nevada.
especially in the mining districts. with
a view of building in there in the near
future.
1--WE have been collecting information
regarding that section of the country
for some time" said Mr.. Clark, "and
it is probable that our company will
take definite action when the details
concerning the opening Of the new
Salt Lake line are completed"

Some time ago the chamber of COM
merce realized the Importance OF in
teresting the railroads in this propo-
sition and appointed a COMMITTEES to
further the movement The question was
taken up with the Salt Lake people and
at the time they seemed favorable to 1t.
Since then, however, they have been
closely watching developments in
southern Nevada and have about de-

: Councilman Harmon OF the Sec
+ ond ward.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-13


That some surprises will be sprung
in regard to gas legislation at this
mornings session of the council is in
dicated by the fact that the cause of
the people against the gas monopoly,
aid some months ago, is gaining re-
cruits every day among the lawmakers
of the city. Another councilman has
been added to the list of those who
declare it is the plain duty of that
body to abide by the will of the peo-
pie.
Councilman Harmon of the. Second
ward stated several times that he Is
ready to act on the subject when it is
brought up, and has now determined to
take the initiative if necessary. He
said yesterday:
For some time have been carefully
probing this subject of regulating the
gas monopoly. hoping to find the cor
rect solution. 1t is a subject of grave
Los Angeles.
During the past. few months, and
especially in the last three or four
weeks, l have thoroughly canvassed the
ward which 1 represent, and have also
had great deal of correspondence OH
the subject. am now firmly convinced
that nine-tenths of the citizens of my
ward desire that the ordinance as pre-
pared by the city attorneybe passed by
the council.
People Have a Voice
THE people are the ones for whom
we are legislating and they have a
right to have such laws as they desire
passed. We are here to do the will of
the people of Los Angeles, and I in
tend to do all / can to secure the pas
sage of the measure. OF course, if the
other members of the council desire
to defer action on the ordinance until
special meeting of the committee of
the whole can be held some time dur
ing the week 1 am willing to give them
such time as they desire, as 1 am in
no way trying to dictate. However,
intend to bring the ordinance before the
council with the help of the two other
members who are already favoring it
openly"
This declaration on the part of Coun-
Gilman Harmon, coming as it did i'm
mediately after Councilman Killers
action in issuing an equally strong
rto a l., a
marked effect on the council as a
whole.
Three Votes Assured
According to one member interested
In the measure, there are three votes
already assured for 1t should 1t come
to vote Immediately, and 1t is almost
certain that a fourth will be added
today. This legislator is firmly con-
vinced that at least one councilman
who has heretofore kept out of the
question will vote for its passage when
II comes before the council
II this theory is correct, it will di-
vide the council evenly on the vote,
and President Summerland will be
called on to cast the deciding vote. But,
according to a prominent city father,
If the measure is voted on and the vote
promises TO be close there will be a
bolt and the gas ordinance will become
law. This councilman says the ques-
tion that confronts the city fathers
when considering this subject is Sc
rious one. for great pressure has been
brought TO bear on each representative
of the people in the council chamber.
and 1t is believed that they will be
afraid 10 oppose the measure in open
session.

Narrowly Escapes Death

A pedestrian on South Main street,
lust below the Belasco theater, had 4
narrow escape from death AT this
point a large tree stood back from the
sidewalk, and when the man, whose
name could not be learned, was pass
ing, the tree was swaying in the wind
and suddenly it fell with crash, full
upon the careless passerby, who was
all unconscious of his danger.
Caught in the thick branches, the
helpless man was first crushed and
then twisted to one side as the tree re-
bounded and settled again on the
ground. Men who happened to be near
rushed to the assistance of the man
imprisoned among the damp boughs
and he was finally extricated, scratched
and torn, but safe and not seriously
hurt. witnesses declare that his e5-
cape was nothing short of miracle,
and say that had he not been caugat
first by the thick branches and brushed
to one side he would have been killed
by the weight of the trees trunk.

Big Rise in River

A great volume of water flowed
down the Los Angeles river Sunday
the stream being about forty feet wide
and of considerable depth. Usually
the river does not make much of an
impression upon the casual observer
but yesterday and last night the roar
of the water as it passed down under
the First street bridge attracted at
tention and was heard above the rum
BILE OF the passing street cars.
A report reached The Herald at a
late hour last night that there had
been cloudburst at Burbank and il
was expected that the river would
show considerable rise.
The wires We're down, and up to 2:3(
o'clock this morning communication
with Burbank could not be had.
Rain fell during part of Saturday
but the real storm did not come unit
early yesterday morning, when rair
fell steadily nearly all day. with occa'
sional heavy downpours by way of va.
riety. Streets in the lower portion o.
the city resembled rivers and in the
hill sections the water rushed dowr
the cutters with such force that rocks
of all sizes and in some cases bricks
were carried for blocks. to be finally
deposited in piles against the street
car tracks on residence streets, or scat
tered on the pavement of business
thoroughfares.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-13

Southern California, and particularly
the district surrounding Lbs Angeles,
was treated yesterday to what an old
timer called a real storm, like we used
to have in the eighties"
A neavy rain fell during the day,
accompanied by wind which broke
the records of recent years, reaching
velocity of thirty-six miles an hour.
The damage all over the city is con-
siderable, especially to the streets.
Four hours cars were blocked and all
day the residence and business thor
oughfares were turned into veritable
rivers of water, in most cases covered
with the scum of oil.
Along the coast the storm was Sc
we're, the wind blowing fifty miles an
hour at San Pedro and tearing the
wireless telegraph mast from its fas-
Jennings. The heaviest damage is re-
ported from Ocean Park, where the
wind hurled the mountainous seas
against the pier with such force that
it at last gave way, resulting in about
100 feet of the structure being COM
pletely wrecked.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-13
MANY Trees Blown Down

Trees were blown down all over town
an especially handsome one being torn
up in Central park. Several of the old
monarchs in the old Childs' place on
South Main street, were also twisted
off about ten feet from the ground.
The damage to the streets promises
to be heavy, as many of the residence
thoroughfares We're turned into rush
ing rivers and the surfacing entirely
washed away, while in others the
water cut deep gullies.
Reports from outlying towns and up
and down the coast are that the storm
is of a general character the wind
blowing hurricane at various points
on the coast. reaching velocity OF
fifty miles an hour at San Pedro and
blowing down the wireless telegraph
mast, so that Catalina is completely
cut off from communication with this
side OF the channel. The telephone
wires between Los Angeles Redondo
and many other points were blown
down

Washout Near Santa Monica

The Los Angeles Pacific company's
line to Hollywood and Santa Monica
was tied up by small washout at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The con-
slant washing of the water caused the
bridge across Lake Shore avenue to
sink almost a foot. This also stopped
traffic on the Glendale line.
