their family physicians, suffering, as they

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their eaSy-going or over

his pills and potions. In reality, they are

SERVICE TO SAN
DIEGO PLANNED
HUNTINGTON WORKING WITH
E. H. HARTMAN
Acquisition of cuyamaca Railway
Gives Magnates Excellent Ter
minus at Southern
Port

Henry e. Huntington's plans for the
extension of electric railway service in
Southern California comprehend, in
conjunction with E. H. Hartman, in
terurban service between Los Angeles
and San Diego by way of Elsinore lake
and Escondido, tapping as well rich
series of valleys.
Since Harimans title has been per-
fected to the Cuyamaca railway, which
runs out of San Diego through Ell
Cajon valley to Lakeside and Fosters,
that road has been available as part of
the plan for connecting the two cities.
1t offers an excellent terminus in San
Diego, and the Lakeside Inn and nu-
merous other points make it favorite
tourists route. This would fit in very
well with the Huntington plans for a
successful interurban line.
This side of the present terminus of
the Cuyamaca line the proposed route
will tap the rich Escondido territory
and run through that town. From
Escondido the road will bend westward
so as to take in the large holdings
which Mr. Huntington controls in the
San Luis Rey section, which his rail-
road will develop on a large scale.
Thence it will probably run toward
Elsinore, and then, following east of
the Temescal mountains, the line will
join the network which is planned for
Orange county by the Huntington sys-
tenn. Cars probably will run into Los
Angeles by the Whittier line.
1t is not unlikely that the huge Lat
tleship" gasoline cars invented in the
Hartman shops at Omaha and now
used on the Cuyamaca and La Jolla
roads at San Diego, as well as on Har-
riman branch roads east of the
! Rockies, will be a feature of the Los
Angeles-San Diego line. They are fast
running and avoid electric power and
| equipment.
This, however is not settled, and is
somewhat improved by the fact that
! William Peel, a general engineer of
| the Huntington projects, has been
spending considerable time investigat-
ing San Diego bay and taking sound
| ings. He is said to be looking up data
for an electric power plant similar to
that at RedondO. to be used in connec-
ton with the proposed system.
| The Cuyamaca line has been con-
trolled by the Hartman interests for
some time, but direct title was not ac-
quired until this summer, when the
road was sold at sheriff's sale and bid
| in for Hartman at $101 900.

CAMPS AT PARK
FOUR TROOPS ARRIVE BY
SPECIAL TRAIN
EN- ROUTE FROM ARIZONA POST
TO MANEUVERs
VIII Leave Tomorrow, Marching to
Santa Barbara, and Thence by
Easy Stages to Ataseadero
Destination

The four troops of the Fifth cavalry
now camped at Agricultural park are
regarding the stay in Los Angeles as
the most enjoyable feature of the jour
ney from Fort Huachuca to Camp At
asoadero. Many of the men have been
stationed at the Arizona fort Tor a
long enough time to regard taste OF
city life as a novelty, and they are
making the most of it, in a good-na-
tured way.
The troops reached the University
station in Los Angeles at $50 yester-
day morning, in a special train made
up of nine sleepers and twenty-three
stock cars. The work of unloading and
pitching camp in Agricultural park was
begun at once. In the afternoon large
number of the men went down TO the
business. section.
Col w. S. Schuyler is the officer in
command. Other officers with the regi-
ment are Maj. Fred H. Foster, Capt.

Capt. C. r. Day, Capt. r. S. Porter,
Lieut., P. H. Sheridan, Lieut.. B. p.
Quinlan, Lieut.. A. Barnard, Lieut..
Alex. James and Lieut., Dorsey.
This is the first time the Fifth cav
airy has taken part in maneuvers on
the Pacific coast. They will leave to-
morrow morning and march to Santa
Barbara, continuing by easy stages to
the field of the maneuVerS, winch they
will reach September 2S.
The maneuvers will be held October
/ to 81 at Atascadero, on J. H. Henry s
famous rancho at Santa Marguerite.
Both regulars and militia will camp
there, and the encampment has been
so arranged as to give the state troops
the full benefit of the regular army's
experience They will be massed to-
gether, regiments of regulars and
militia alternating Combined maneu-
vers of all the troops will be held Oc-
tober IL.
The encampment will be composed of
the following troops:
Regular army-Headquarter and
eight companies of the Twentieth in
fantry; headquarters and ten companies
Eighth infantry, headquarters and
four troops Fifth cavalry, three bat
teries of field artillery, one company
each of signal corps, engineers and hos
pital corps
California national guard-Brigade
headquarters and staff, all companies
of the Second, Fifth and Seventh in
fantry, three troops of cavalry, two
companies of signal corps.
Arizona national guard-One bat
talon of infantry.
Col. Schuyler thinks that the exiled
army officer, Col. William F. Stewart,
has been somewhat misrepresented in
regard to his feeling over his assign
ment to lonely Fort Grant.
81 do not think that Col. Stewart
takes altogether the attitude attribut-
ed to him." says Col. Schuyler. while
he has no command there, he has a
good residence and excellent surround
ings, and is not altogether alone"
