SAN RAFAEL. Feb. 1S.-Deeds for a
1o0-foot right of way through the prop
critics of Mackay and Flood and ]. w.
Ferris to the Bay Counties Railway
Company were placed on record today.
With the exception of a few small
pieces. this gives the company a 100
foot right of way from Belvedere
TO Napa, where its line will connect
with the Napa and Lakeport Railroad.

Bay Counties and the Napa and Lake
port Railroad companies are nothing
but links of the Western Pacific, which
has its eyes on the excellent deep
water facilities near Belvedere Island.
