WESTERN PACIFIC ROUTE

In the application today the Western
Pacific starts at the west line of
Broadway, fifty feet south of First
street. parallel to the Southern Pacific
tracks. This point is the east end OF
the route laid out in the former West
ern Pacific application along the south
harbor front Thence the line runs
eastward to a point between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth avenues, where it di
vides. The main branch turns to the
right and runs southeasterly. tapping
the big lumber yards of J. s. Kfmball
and John R. Hodge. The line strikes
south of the Pacific Steel and Wire
Company's main building. and also the
California Cotton Mills at Twenty third
avenue Then it proceeds across Val
dez and Kennedy streets, Park avenue
and Twenty fifth avenue, crossing the
sixth avenue. Here the route strikes
the western Pacific main line as it en-
tiers the city at Twenty-sixth avenue.
The other branch at Sixteenth ave-
nue. crosses the Southern Pacific main
line at Eighteenth avenue and stops
on the Western Pacific fill on its. main
line route into Oakland. These
branches appear TO be intended as di-
rect connections with the Western Pa
cifc's main line into a line of tracks
that can he used for freighting aux
Hilary to the main route for general
business with the city. TIE franchise
application provides for a railroad. and
makes no suggestion of spurs, or I'm
dustriaT' tracks. It has strategic
value so far as surface indications go,
but requires the condemnation or pur-
chase or grant without suit of right
of way over the entire route. Already
the Western Pacific has brought suit
for a right of way through the section
west of Broadway to it's own terminal
at West Oakland.

SIGNIFICANT FEATURE

A significant feature of the Gould
move is the fact that the granting of
the franchises. which seems TO be man
datory on the part of the City Coun-
ell, would put the Western Pacific in
a paralleling position on both sides of
the Southern Pacific through the main
entrance across the city on the south.
The Western Pacihc's main line
through Third street is north of the
Southern Pacifics main line, and the
new franchise route is south of the
Southern Pacific.
Following last nights action of the
City Council in amending the Union
Belt Line Railways application on the
lines suggested by Attorney R. NJ.
Fitzgerald and the recommendation of
passage of that franchise and the
Southern Pacifc's. a fresh fight is
threatened in the City Council. 1t APP

PARALLELS RIVAL
ON HARBOR FRONT
Western Pacific Executes
Coup That Will Give It
a Strong Hold in City

OAKLAND, Dec. Interest In the
stimulated today by a new move on
the part of the Western Pacific Rail-
way, which filed an application for a
franchise for line from the foot of
Broadway to the eastern boundary of
the city. This route parallels the
Southern Pacific along the entire
southern harbor front.
II connects with the lines west of
Broadway. for which the Western Pa
cihc has already filed applications for
franchises south of the Southern Pa
cIlc tracks and along Wood street on
the west. Altogether the Western Pa
ciAc's three applications now before
the City Council form n complete belt
around the city from Twenty-second
and Wood streets south and along thc
harbOr front TO the city limits on the
east at Twenty-sfxth avenue.
Railroad men are busy with specula-
lions upon this move of the Western
Pacific. The Gould system appears to
be executing coup in its fight to gain
stronger foothold in Oakland in view
of the fact that these new franchise
applications cover the zone in which
any railroad must be granted a fran
chise under a provision of the nunic-
ipal charter. That the entire plan of
the Gould engineers is aimed at secur-
ing stand along the harbor front as
good as that of the Hartman line
seems to be the chief purpose

SENATOR HAYWARD
What the Davenport Paper Says in An
nouncine His Candidacy for sccre-
tary of state--tIas Been Pledged
Liberal Support.
Special to Irmes-Repuplican

Special to Times Republican
Davenport, Jan. 1.-THE Times, in
announcing Senator W. c. Haywards
candidacy for the nomination for sec
rotary of state, says edstorially:
Senator w. c. Hayward of Daven-
port is a candidate for secretary OF
state. For some time his friends
here and elsewhere in Iowa, have
been suggesting his name for the nom
nation, but Mr.. Hayward was not sure
that he ought to become Il candidate
for the position. However, there was
general interest in the suggestion, and
many men from all parts of the state
have written, urging Senator Hay
ward to make an announcement Sc
that they would be in position to
give him their support. Therefore the
Times is authorized, unequivocaly to
will present Senator Haywards name
to the state convention on behalf OF
the Second district republicans, but
that he has given his consent to be-
come an active candidate for the nom
nation
Even before this announcement was
authorized, Mr.. Hayward was pledged
liberal support in other parts OF the
state. Several weeks ago his friends
here were assured that he would be
supported in Hancock and other coun-
ties of northern Iowa. He formerly
resided here, where he has a large
circle Of acquaintances and warm
personal friends who have urged him
to allow the formal declaration of his
candidacy to be made. These assur-
ances from northern Iowa and other
parts of the state, together with the
solicitations of enthusiastic supporters
in Scott county, have induced Senator
Hayward to allow his name to be pre-
scented in this formal announcement
While usually classed as a supporter
Of the state administration, he is not
now presented because of that fact
but solely on his merits as an enthusi-
astic. Industrious republican of sound
judgment and splendid executive abil-
ity. He will be acceptable to all re-
publicans of the state. If he becomes
a member Of the executive council he
will be a source of strength to it be-
cause of his ability to judge matters
without prejudice or bias. Mr.. Hay
ward has always been the advocate OF
the square deaf in everything with
which he has had to do. The Times
on behalf of the republicans of Scott
county, and of the Second district
asks the support of all the republic
ans of iowa for Senator Hayward as
candidate for the nomination for
secretary of state"
