GOULDS MERGE
ALL BRANCHES
MISSOURI PACIFIC TO FORM
CENTRAL GROUP
Consolidated Mortgage OF 100000, 900
Proposed to Refund All Wabash
and Other Issues In
Unification

1t is understood from trustworthy
railroad men that the Goulds are now
planning to merge all of their lines into
one system with the Missouri Pacific
at the head.
The retirement of the Wabash de-
benture "B" bonds which is proposed
is considered to be the first step toward
working out the merger.
For several years the management of
the Gould roads has had in view a
unfication of the various systems and
has &nly awaited :, favorable oppor-
tunity.
The present plan provides for the
authorization of a large general con-
solidated mortgage, probably amount
ing to $20O,0OO.000. which will be suf-
ficient to refund not only the debentude
issues of the Wabash, but also to re-
fund various other issues at their ma
turity as well as leaving a large issue
in excess available for other purposes.
At the present time the system is
more or less disjointed and there is
a desire on the part of the Wabash
management to bring the eastern con-
nections directly under control of the
Wabash Railroad company The last
step to be taken would be the lodg-
ment of control CT the Wabash Rail-
road company with the Missouri Pacific
Railroad company.

LONDON, June 16.--The days when
John Burns was - labor a1itator in
stead of a cabinet minister are con-
stantly returning to plague him. For
instance the participants in the "West
End March of the Voorhees," 5000 in
number, displayed these banners:
''Work or riot-one or the other"
"Slaves are fed, free men starve."
THE workless poor die, the idle rich
feast"
Liberals and tories alike neglect the
workers"
"The freedom of the working classes
is slavery or starvation"
Work, starve, or steal-which is it
to be?"
"Has John Burns no answer?"
(Which? Work. bread, or dsorder?"
Passing through Regent street, the
assorted bands played. and the demon
strators sang The Starving Poor Of Old
England" which is known as the "Na-
tional Anthem" of John Burns, because
the president of the local government
board made 1t popular during the dock
strike riots. The stirring refrain Is:
The poor, the poor, the taxes have to pay,
The poor are starving every day.
They staIve and die on the kings high
way,
The starving poor Of old England.

site of the camp. They made the first
wagon road in the arroyo and the first
trail over the mountains from what is
known as Long canyon" into Switzer's,
five miles distant. This trail is so we'll
laid and SO thoroughly made that in
all the years 1t has had comparatively
little work done on 1t to keep ii in re-
pair.
In 1883 Mr.. Switzer had the camp ar
ranged so that he could take parties
with his burros to see the camp, and it
was so thoroughly admired that in 1884
he decided TO make 1t a resort. The
camp was yet unnamed and the first
guest to come to it was Mrs. Jennie
Carr OF Pasadena, who named the place
"Switzers Camp"
For twelve years the camp was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Switzer and Mr.. Walker
and during that time It grew until 1t
was the largest camp as well as being
the first resort ever built in the Sierra
Madres.

Twice every week the men would
come down from the camp. passing the
old trail where the desperado Vasquez
came into the arroyo, near what is
now called Dark canyon" past the
place where the two Blldeback boys

the long slope into the city of Pasa-
dena. Here the guests were met by
the men, and the next day the return
trip was made, the people gnerally rid
ing on the backs of burros up the
trails and finally to the camp, where
the tent houses and two log cabins had
been constructed.
For twelve years the camp was OPP
Grated successfully, and during that
time Mr.. Switzer filed on the land, but
was told repeatedly by the government
authorities that he could secure no title
to the property until the government
sectionized the land. In 1894 the camp
was leased to an eastern -Yoman and
for several years 1t was managed by
Hob Waterman and his wife, but in
1906 the mountain fires threatened the
buildings and all the household goods
were buried, and the guests hurried
for their lives up the canyon and finally
reached Pasadena by way of the west
fork i'm the San Gabriel and the old
Wilson peak trail.
Camp Is Deserted
From this time on the camp has been
deserted and Mr.. Switzer has tried to
re-establish his claim to the property,
but on account Of the fact that he has
not been living ON the property for
some years he could secure no title to
the camp.

A S the lazy days come on and the
~ blue of the mountain tops seem
near, we look at their rugged
SUBMITS and seem to see over and into
the tangled winding canyons where the
trout glitter In the water, and where
there is shade and the singing of birds;
where there is a fragrance of wild
flowers and pine needles. There imag-
ination or memory leads us, and it is
hard not to follow and go into the heart
Of the mountains
Up there, north of Pasadena, far up
the winding canyons of the Arroyo
Seco, two pioneers in 1880, filed with
this same longing for the wild that now
grows Strong in mems hearts, Wended
their way through the brush of Alta
dena, through the dense underground of
the arroyo and finally up the side of
they looked back toward the ocean and
saw Catalina, and then below them,
sheltered by giant trees they saw a
sheltered nook and heard the roar of
great waterfall.
Pick Way Slowly
For twelve hours these two men
slowly came down preeipltious height,
foot by foot digging steps with picks
so that they could get back again and
finally they, C. p. Swtzer and Harvey
Walker, set foot on the site of what is
now Swltzer's camp, but then a natural
favored spot in the arroyo.
This was i'm June 1890 and as the
two men looked at the natural beauty
of the place. as they saw fresh bear
tracks on the rocks and heard the snort
of deer up the canyon, and saw tree
squirrels come down to the lower
branches and bark at the first men they
had ever seen, they realized they had
found place where man had not yet
set foot.
For many days these two men
camped and finally resolved TO build a
cabin, where either might come and be
alone in the wild with only the deer
hound Jack to keep him company.
After the first cabin was built the
two men commenced work on the fif-
teen-mile trail from Pasadena TO the

Colby springs" and the mines which
have been opened-rin the Tejunga are
the direct outgrowth of this mans
faithful labor, He is now living at
1917 Georgia street Los Angeles, and
tells some interesting stories of the
days at the camp, and the time in 1858
when he crossed the plains with Col
Hollister and w. II. Perry.
In speaking of the early days the
old gentleman, who Il now so years of
age, says:
Crossed Plains in 1853
Il came to California in 1853 with
Col, Hollister and w. H. Perry, and
have lived in this city or near it ever
since. We were one year on the trip,
and brought with us a band of sheep,
one of the first that was brought
across the plains. we had some very
peculiar experiences on the trip, the
first one that | remember of being the
night we crossed the Missouri river,
when our sheep were stampeded by the
Indians. The sheep ran in a circle,
1000 of them, and one of the men
thought he could stop the circle by
jumping on the back of one of them.
This the fellow did, and was carried
around on top of the circle ten times
before / could get hold of the mans
limbs and pull him to the ground.
After leaving the river we came
through the Platte river country and
finally into Utah, where we saw the
Mormons for the first time. After leav-
ing Salt Lake City we crossed the des-
ert and there we lost many sheep. 1t
was pitiful to see the little animals drop
by the trail exhausted, dying from the
lack of water. When we arrived in San
Bernardino we had only 5000 of the 1000
sheep with which we started. At San
Bernardino we found another Mormon
settlement, and there we camped' for
several days and then came on toward
Los Angeles.

I'm the Eagle Rock valley we left the
sheep and l came into Los Angeles the
of New Years day, 1854. The
same day l saw a man hanged to post
