San Francisco. Nov. 1.-The Southern
Pacific railroad wants 5000 laborers. This
is the statement of one OF the local Off
cials. orders have just come from Harrl-
man to hasten the development OF the
Pacific slope lines. Within the next two
years over s25.0O0,000 will be spent i'm con
struction OF lines on the Pacific coast by
the Hartman system. IL is the prepara-
tion for the great struggle i'm railroad
competition that is coming.
With Hill on the north and the Gould
lines creeping across the continent, Har-
riman realizes that II will mean a great
fight and that the life OF the big systems
will depend on the completeness with
which they are equipped with feeders.
Hence. at every available point small
roads are being absorbed Others are be-
ing built and the Southern Pacific is de
veloping all territory possible to get ready
for what Hartman calls the age OF rail-
road competition"
