NEW ROUTE TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
Through Trains from Chicago.

With the opening Of the line across
southern Utah and southwest Nevada,
known as the San Pedro Route, new
country has been opened, which in area
is large enough for good sized empire,
the natural resources of which are prac.
now been without railway facilities, and
the laws of trade and transportation
are such that rapid development is now
assured. The Tonopah and Goldfeld
mining camps are to be reached by
branch lines, and there is a strong posi-
bility that other mineral districts will be
discovered and developed as u result of
this new enterprise.
The facilities with which Southern
California and this newly opened portion
of Nevada can be reached in future are
indicated by the announcement from the
passenger department of the Chicago 4
North Western R'y that a daily service
Of through Pullman tourist sleeping carr
via this route is to be inaugurated be
tween Chicago and Los Angeles in few
days, which will doubtless lead to a
large influx of people looking for oppor'
tunities to establish themselves in this
new country, where homes are cheap
work is plentiful, and mep of vim and
grit are in demand-something> unknown
in the densely populated cities of the east
There is some beautiful scenery along

known as Rainbow Canon; and the cit
rus fruit region of Southern California il
reached near San Bernariino, the road
leading from that point through River
eide and Pomona, and other towns in
one of the greatest orange growing dis
tr;cts in the world.
II is expected that with the opening Of
the Southern California tourist season this
fall, large amount of travel will be
handled via this route, for the manage
ment of the new road, fully alive ia
modern travel requirements, have put in
effect a very handsome service of modern
vestibule trains. with high class dining
car service and other travel comforts,
which connect at Salt lake and Ogden
with through service from the East, and
which first class tourist travel can reach
the sunshine and flowers of this New
World Riviera.

Listening to the Fishes.

For listening to the noise made by
fishes in the depths of the seas. a Nor
wegian inventor has devised telephone
to be lowered overheard from fishing
boats. With this he claims a fisherman
can detect the presence of fish, their
numbers and even their kind. Herrings,
or smaller fish, when they come in large
numbers, make piping. whistling
sound, while cod make a roaring noise.
When they come close to the submarine
telephone the movements Of the indi-
vidual fish can be distinguished. The
instrument consists of microphone

 The Western Union has no wires along the Alabama Great Southern to Chatta nooga and north along their routes, neither has it connection with Memphis except through the railroad wires.
 The Postal company had no wire with the east at all yesterday until late in the afternoon, when it succeeded in com municating with Atlanta and Washing ton and through them with eastern cities. It was unable to work with Chattanooga or Nashville but had two or three wires with Memphis all day, and all of the business north and east was handled over these wires.
