STEAMSHIP LINE
Senator Clark Discusses Pos
sibility

los Angeles Times says: While lee
brushes tltc matter of trans Pacific
steamship line aside lightly, the Senator
does not deny that he IS considering the
matter sgld admits that it is possibil-
itX. The magnitude of such move on
the part of this giant Of finance can
hardly be estimated in its Importance
to Southern California. No great sur
prise would It be should the Clark and
Goud interests unite on Il line of trans
,lorts;ion from New York te the Orient
''Snch u line i simply u possibility OF
the Sature, said senator Clark 20 Il
Times reporter recently. "While the
matter has been thought OF and even
Diseased. | have nothing definite to
say on the subject"
1t is a well-known fact that Senator
Clark does not take the time to think OF,
or discuss problems that he does not
intend To work out and II only Il pos
sibiiity OF the future, it may be safely
said that senator Clark not only intends
to establish transportation connection
with the Orient, But is also scheming
to gain transcoptinental connection with
New York.
Speaking further on this subject, the
Senator said: I'VE have handled some
shipments from the Orient, bound for
New York More and more of this bus
mess will undoubtedly be turned into
san Pedro and We are in the market to
handle IL overland, but cannot say
that we are going over there after it

with vagrancy, which. in this instance.

interest in his behalf, but the jury

the officials, high board fences were

TWO JUDGES
Las Vegas Township Enjoys
Peculiar Distinction

After the trials this week District At
snr,ey IIorsey was asked the following
question by The Age
. In view OF the fact that under your
advice H. NJ. Lillis was appointed JUS.
tice nj the Peace by the Commissioners,
aud hi bond duly filed and approved,
why J. 1t that the cnses in which YOU
were prosecuting attorney were taken
before ExJudge Ralph?'
Mr.. Horsey replied that at the time
he advised the appointment ~ Mr.
Liilis the records did not show that Mr.
Ralph had ever filed bond that had
.becn approved, but since his arrival in
Las Vegas Mr.. Ralph has shown ilim Il
certificate acknowledging the approval
OF >aich bond; and that. therefore. NJ
Vacancy existed when Mr. I.illi, was
appointed
Tha fact remains, however. that Mr..
Lille was appointed and his bond ap-
proved. and he mas received certificate
to that effect
The situation j. Il peculiar one and
the new Justice has not decided upon
his cout-e of action.
In pse meantime Las Vegas is
blessed with two justices OF the
peace, and no knowledge of uhat else
may havt happened that does not APP
pear on tlr records.

RAILROADS ON SOLID BASIS.
Speculative Days Have Gone BY Tor
All Time.

The railroad business, as It was
developed In its earlier stages. vas
largely speculative. declares the Re.
view of Reviews. \ great part of the
railroad mileage OF the country was
built In advance OF actual needs, and
the population and wealth Of regions
traveiscd by the new lines had to
grow up to give solid value to the
transportation properties Thus, the
railroad traillckcd in lands promoted
manufacturing by special rate con.
cessions, made bargains with grain
companies and elevator lines, and an.
tangled themselves with all sorts OF
side enterprises for the exploitation
OF the country, 1t was customary To
look upon railroads not merely as pri.
waite enterprises, but as of highly
speculative and hazardous nature.
Nest of the railroads at one time or
another went into bankruptcy, and
several Of them went through more
than one period Of receiycrship and
