WILL BUILD ROAD
FROM MONTEREY
Flint Says Line by Way of
Fresno to Tonopah Is
Now Virtually Assured
TO TAP RICH REGION

Former State Senator Thomas Flint
of San Juan, who is at the St. Francis
Hotel said last night that all doubt
as to the early construction Of a rails
road from Monterey via Fresno tC
Tonopah, had vanished. 1t Is highly
probable that the line will be extend
ed to Salt Lake. Recent activity on the
part of engineers, surveyors and right
OF way agents has caused no little
comment Intelligence now comes that
the organizers OF the railway enter
prise have been successful in negotiat-
Ing bonds to an extent and at a figure
that will justify the immediate work
Of construction.
The region OF California between
Monterey Bay and the San Joaquin
Valley is picturesque and productive
Dwellers in the cultivated valleys are
convinced that the chief obstacle in
the path Of progress is the lack OF IA
otlity for transporting the products Of
the soil to market. For example. in
San Benito County there is prOdigious
quantity Of hay, approximately esti-
mated at 10000 tons. There are in
dications of another crop Of equal
magnitude. The commodity is worth
$50 ton in the San Francisco market
but the farmers cannot get it here
About the best the Southern Pacific
can do is to take out three or four car
loads day. The producers realize
now that they must have another rail-
road.
