The operation of the railroad sold to Hartman
was profitable, Spreckes said but the properties
as whole involved a loss as the steamers we're
not proftably operated.

amlned Spreckels bringing out the fact that the
southern Pacific had never competed either for
freight or passengers, with the Spreckels roads

statement that no railroad except the Southern
