RAILROADS GET
NEEDED TIMBER
SHIPS ARE BREAKING FREIGHT
EMBARGO
Delayed Construction Work VIII Now
Be Resumed on an Extensive
Scale-General Rail-
road News

Railroad and trolley companies are
beginning to get their long delayed sup
plies of ties and other construction ma
terial.
The extraordinary efforts of the rail-
road and steamship companies to break
the congestion of freight has brought
about relief at last.
AS a result construction work will
now be pushed forward with vigor by
the Southern Pacific, Santa F'e and Salt
Lake roads, and by the trolley compa-
MES which are building extensions.
Much of the heavy timber and steel
comes by steamer, and from this source
most of the recent shipments have come.
That railroad work of an extensive
character is about to be begun is evil
denced by the nature of the cargoes
now being unloaded at Port Los An
geles. Two steamers are now there
from the north, and both are dis
charging great quantities of>railway
ties, which are for the Southern Pa
cific and it's allied steam and electric
lines

MAY SECURE NORMAL
SCHOOL SITE FOR $500,000

Last week at the conference meeting
of Southern California legislators and
Los Angeles citizens William M. Mines
of the real estate firm of Mines & Far
ish said that a syndicate had been
formed with the intention of Offering
100000 for the normal school site. This
offer was with the expectation that
possession would be secured next July,
but that if the syndicate could not Sc
cure possession for two years 1t would
be necessary to make some provision to
cover at least a portion of the interest
on the money to be invested. He said
If the purchase was made the syndi-
cate would have Fifth street cut
through and thus have property on
both sides of the street.
A number of legislators took part
in the discussion and it was evident
that the plan of selling the site for
the sum stated and the purchase of
five or ten acres in one of the suburbs
would be heartily favored

WHY MEXICO ABSORBED LINES
Prevents United States Roads from
Gobbling Them

BY Associated Press.
- CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 15.-Details
have been made public of the great
railroad merger just consummated here
whereby the government obtains abso-
lutte control Of the Mexican Central, the
National, the International, and the
Inter-Oceanic and the Hidalgo e
Northeastern railroads, which are to be
operated as one great system.
By the terms of the contract the gov
eminent also assumes control of the
Texas<Mexican lines at Laredo, Texas,
owned by the National.
Negotiations which have resulted in
the merger were started in February by
Pablo Martinez del Rio with plan Of
bringing the Mexican Central in touch
with the Mexican government. This is
sue was reached within the last few
days after a conference between Eben
Richards, president of the Mexican Cen
trail, and Minister Limantour with other
representatives of the interests in
VolVed.
Minister of Finance Limantour in a
speech before congress gave as the rea-
son for the railroad merger just con-
summated by the republic that the step
was taken to prevent the great railroad
lines of the United States from absorb
ing the properties. Further he ex.
planned that the merger would prevent
friction between the Mexican Central
and the National lines and would result
in the realization of economies.

AGED MAN IS
IN HARD LUCK
TELLS A PlTIFUL STORY TO
THE POLICE
Knocked OFF of Porch by Landlord
Because He Could Not Pay
Rent-Wife and Chill.
dren Dead

Following an alteration with his
landlord because he could not pay for
his room, j. Mcguire, an aged brick
mason, rooming at 62S San Julian
street, who lately moved to Los Angeles
from Riverside, was knocked off the
front porch of the house last night and
his left elbow was broken by the fall.
MCGUIRE told a pitiful story to the
police surgeons at the receiving hospi-
tai. According to his tale he has recent
ly been bereaved by the death of his
wife and three children at Riverside,
all dying of scarlet fever During their
illness he was quarantined and their
sickness and death was of great eX-
pense to him. A poor man anyway, he
was left absolutely penniless and with
many debts after the funerals of his
loved ones.
A few days ago he came to Los An
geles, going to the address at which
he was injured by the landlord last
night. He tried desperately to obtain
employment to pay off his heavy in
debtedness, but he was always told
that there was no work for him. When
the landlord asked for his room rent
last night Mcclure told him he had
no money to pay him.
This angered the landlord and the
two men became engaged in a hand-to-
hand combat. Mcclure, being an old
man, and feeble, was given a shove,
and he fell backward off the veranda.
The landlord will probably be arrested
today on a warrant charging him with
assault and battery.

ANXIOUS FOR ANNEXATION
Eagle Rock Suburb Residents Active
In Development Work for Greater
Los Angeles
residential

The newly developed residential
suburb, Eagle Rock, is affording a
good example of the value of first
class public improvements. Although
the property in that district is held by
many different owners the Eagle Rock
Improvement association has prevailed
upon all to unite in a uniform plan
of street improvement.
The valleys main thoroughfares are
Central avenue and Colorado street.
Both of these are traversed by the
Los Angeles Railway company s
lines and have been widened to
100 feet each. They are to be oiled
and tamped under the new ''petro-
lithio" system. Hill avenue is the
valleys mountain drive; 1t is graded
out seventy feet wide and curves in
and out along the foothills, affording a
never-ceasing change of view All of
the foothill tracts of Eagle Rock are
being improved with streets ranging
from seventy to ninety feet wide and
bounded by beautiful wide parkways,
planted to live oaks, jacaranda, acacias,
etc.
In another six months it is doubtful
whether any other district in the
city will show the uniform high class
public improvements of Eagle Rock.
If the approaching annexation move
ment carries the city will have no
complaint to make in gathering up
the beautiful little Eagle Rock valley,
which in addition to her fine street
improvements possesses a complete
and satisfactory water system.

PUBLIC DEMANDS FAST TRAINS
Trunk Line Presidents Explain Reason
for Speed

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Notwithstand-
ing the adoption by the Southern and
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road systems of policy looking to re-
ducing the speed of through passenger
trains, high passenger officials of the
trunk lines running out Of New York
city intimated that they were disposed
to increase rather t IN lessen the speed
of their trains.
They explained .ha the public de-
manded this owing to the exigencies of
business and the :oirit of the times,
and they were obliged as public service
corporations to meet the demand.
AS for themselves, however, faster
trains were not to their liking on &C
count of the corresponding cost of
operation.
Officers Of the New York Central, the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, the
Erie and the Philadelphia & Reading
lines said that no reimbursement of
their respective passenger schedules to
lower speed was contemplated. On the
contrary, an effort was being made, he
said, in several instances to run addi-
tional fast trains in cases where the
present speed limit had been reached.

Southern Pacific Must Again Move
Salton Sink Tracks
Special to The Herald.
IMPERIAL, Cal, Dec. 15.-Removal
of the Southern Pacific tracks to high
er ground has been decided on by the
officials who came here to inspect the
Colorado river floods.
Imperial valley people subscribed
about $1,000,000 to the repair" fund
and asked the Southern Pacific to con-
tribute the additional $1,500000 needed
to build new dam below the old one
and to construct levee along the
river banks a distance of twenty miles,
but the railroad company has not de-
cided to pool its interests with the
people as yet.
1t has, however, decided at once to
remove its flooded tracks to ground 100
feet higher up the slopes, for a dis
tance of twenty or thirty miles.
This work will require ninety days
and it is estimated that the flood can
not reach the new roadbed inside of
three years.
| During that period the company will
be able to survey a route for per-
manent and dry right of way and to
build a new road through that sec
ton. To date the Southern Pacific
has expended about $3,000,000 in con-
structing the dam and in rescuing its
| tracks from the waters In Salton sink.
