VALLEY LINE
Minerals, Borax and Construction Of

from the Start--RaiI-
road News

Former City Attorney w. r. Math-
ews, who has returned from his east
ern trip, where he studied the pros
poets and market for material in con-
nection with the proposed railroad in
the owens river country through which
Los Angeles will build its aqueduct
project, reports that he heard all kinds
of encouraging reports.
He learned. for instance, that the
freights which the mines--mineral and
borax-along the route would offer the
new road would go far toward keeping
UP the maintenance expenses. He con-
suited the mine owners in Chicago, New
York and elsewhere.
From Indications gained in advance
the road will pay for itself and more
as fast as the city builds it, The bo-
rax mines products must be freighted
eighty miles now by team, which is an
expensive item.

improvements near Fifty-second street
and Hooper avenue. as follows:
AT meeting of the board of educa-

looking the main tracks.
What appears to be the preliminary
steps in the building Of the repair
shops that II is believed are to be
esta hlished here was brought to notice
by the tearing down of the grand
stand in Southern Pacific park, the
reason being given that the site is to
be used for freight shed.
AS the park is about fifteen acres in
extent and unimproved this explana-
ton has failed to carry any weight
with those who assert that the entire
property is to be utilized for car shop
purposes.

WOMAN DRIVES HEP
AUTO INTO A CANAL
AS Machine Totters on Edge of Wall
the Five Passengers Leap to
Safety-All Hide Their
Identity

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 23-Two women,
two men and boy, admitting they were
Philadelphians, but hiding their identity,
were the victims of an accident in which
they narrowly escaped drowning. near here
yesterday afternoon. Their automobile
crashed through the guard rails of a
bridge and tumbled into the canal. All of
them jumped out just in time to save
themselves.
One of the women was driving the car
at the time, and in taking a sharp curve
at the bridge she lost control of the ma
chine. Then the heavy vehicle crashed
through the guard rails, tottered on the
edge of the bridge just long enough for
the five to leap to safety, and then tum-
bled overheard.
Rescue of the machine was effected by
calling into service a steam roller at work
on a nearby stone road The car was badly
damaged and had to be towed to this city
for repairs. The owner concealed his iden-
tity by removing all of his license num-
bers and by dashing out of town after re-
pairs to the car had been made. 1t is said,
however. that the party was composed of
summer residents at Mount Pocono, Pa.
