BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 1S.-The traffic
situation on both the Santa F'e and
Southern Pacific lines tonight is gloomy
and trains are running far behind
schedule time owing to the big storm
until this morning, because of fear lest
night. The Southern Pacific passenger
trains which were held at Los Angeles
until this morning g, because of fear last
the tracks would be washed away,
passed over the Tehachapi mountain
this evening.
On the Santa Fe all trains have been
running late for the past week, due to
the shaky condition of the track around
the region of Tulare lake, which was
badly flooded last year
The trains from the coast road. which
is blocked are expected to pass through
here during the night.

Santa Clara a Terminal
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN JOSE, Jan. 1S-Santa Clara is
to be terminal point of the Southern
Pacific railroad at the expiration of the
legal time for so declaring, which is
twenty-five days. Santa Clara will be
on par, so far as railroad rates are
concerned, with San Francisco, San
Jose, Redwood City and other impor-
tant shipping points. The largely in
creased shipping from this point has
merited the change, there having been
a large increase in railroad traffic.

ourteen-mile route rather than twenty

mile route. But these are problems
for the future and have no present
connection with the scenic line. Just
now we are paying attention TO one
thing which will be made a reality.
Cars will be running over the route
by July 4 of the present year.
The Whittier News issued a special
edition to spread the good tidings.

The function strengthening and tissue

sued by DR.. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan of restoring health.
He uses natural remedies. that is
extracts from native medicinal roots,
prepared by processes wrought out by
the expenditure of much time and
money, without the use of alcohol. and
by skillful combination in Just the right
proportions.
Used as ingredients Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry
bark, Queens root. Golden Seal root.
Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert
their influence in cases of lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this "DIsCOv-
ERY" is, therefore, a sovereign remedy
for bronchitis, laryngtis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the
leading medical writers, Of all the several
schools of practice, for the cure not only
OF the diseases named above but a so for
Indigestion, torpOr Of liver, or bilious
ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and
bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take DR.. Pierce's
say-so alone as TO this, what he claims
for his discovery is backed up by the
writings or the most eminent men In the
medical profession. A request by postal

BUILD ROAD ON
CREST OF PUENTES
USE CHICAGO-LOS ANGELES
CAPITAL
Whittier Will Have New Scenic Gable
Line, and Eventually Los Angeles
and Long Beach May
Be Joined

Los Angeles and Chicago capital will
build a scenic railway in Whittier along
the crest of the Puente hills and spread
out eventually in different directions
A cable traction railway is planned
with improvements in successful use
on similar roads in other cities.
Officially yesterday for the first time
George w. Bowman, president of the
Bowman Gable Traction Railway COM
pany of Chicago, gave out a state
ment in Whittier as follows
"A cable traction railway will be
built along the crest of the horseshoe
of the Puentes back of Whittier. The
formed and all but details have been
arranged
Il have been interested in railway
building for fifty-four years and in all
my experience | never have seen a
better opportunity than is here pre-
sentcd, not only for the making of a
city which will attract wealthy home
seekers, but for profit accruing from
scenic railway
Plan Hotel, Too
"The syndicate has been formed,
with myself as chairman, while the
other members are George II. Clark
and j. Howard Johnson. S. w. Bar
ton, j. r. Kirkwood and Alva Star
buck of Whittier.
1--WE have contracted for the pur-
chase of the forty-acre Bailey tract
lying Just west of Mt. Lookout, and
plans for fifty-room hotel to be erect
ed on this site are already perfected.
The course of the line?. Well the
shortest route planned is about ten
miles in length"
Asked as to the difficulty of road
building on the steep incines which
would be encountered, Mr., Bowman
exhibited the diagram of "a car being
operated by an improved cable trac-
tion system. IIe said the system Is
working successfully i'm Chicago, Kan
sas city and other cities, and is being
installed in certain hill sections of Los
Angeles
1--WE have it in operation on 60 per
cent grades; no difficulty viii attend
the local project in this respect where
the grade AVERAGES perhaps less than
10 per cent" he added.
Further Possibilities
"Other enterprises for future cOnsid-
Grafton are numerous. For instance,
a line connecting MonroVia with Long
Beach via Whittier would allow the
people of the broad valley across the
Puentes to reach the ocean by cover
ing a distance eighteen to twenty miles
nearer than that via Los Angeles.
