Considering Train Schedule for
Onaga Cut Off.
q. p. Nos. 100 and 10 May Be
Sent Over New Line
WHEN IT'S COMPLETED
Freight Traffic to Run Over
TX. C.-Denver Tracks?
Te Prevent Blockading of Kan.
sas Avenue Crossing.

The train schedule for the Union
Pacific Onaga- Marysville cutoff is said
to be under official consideration al
though the line NAV not be completed
until the first of December and regu-
lar train service will probably not be
established until some time after that.
Plans are being discussed to run
passenger trains Nos. 100 and 10 over
the cutoff when completed. No. 1O9
is due here at 7:35 p. M, and runs
between Kansas City and the coast via
Cheyenne, practically solid No. ITO,
it's mate, runs from the coast to Kan
sas City and is due here at 500 a. m.
1t is believed that the westbound
trains time will be the same but the
other may arrive few hours earlier
as the distance will be shortened 92
miles by the new cutoff between the
coast and Kansas City. 1t is thought
that the time of the other Union Pa
cific trains will not be changed much
when the new service is installed.
However, it is very probable that adj
ditional passenger service will event
ually follow.
Naturally the bed of the new road
will have to settle before any of the
heavy through trains can be run over
it. In the meantime. it is not improb-
able that plug service, connecting with
the present Kansas City and coast
trains may be established between
here and Frankfort.
1t is currently rumored that all of
the freight service will be run over
the Kansas City-Denver tracks. In
this connection it is said some means
may be adopted to alleviate the condi-
ton which often blockades the Kansas
avenue crossing at present.
The Women's Missionary society of
the North Side Presbyterian church
will meet at the home of Mrs. A. ].
Arnold at 927 Jackson street, Friday
afternoon at 2:3O o'clock. A full at
Je- nj fIe.i
meeting of the Union w. NJ. S. will be
discussed.

Lspeclal to The Herald.l

VENICE, July 3.--The decorations for
the Elks' convention are being put in
position and are attracting much atten-
tion by their elaborate beauty. Wind
ward avenue will be a perfect bower of
purple and white bunting by day and
of purple and white light by night.
The plaza is being changed into a
monster tent for the accommodation of
the multitudes who attend the band
concerts. At the head of the street
there is a monster elk head in natural
colors, the work of e. Foucher, artist
for the Abbot Kinney company. The
pier is already gay with many beauti-
full designs
Among those to attract special atten-
tion is the elaborate decorative scheme
of the ship hotel. Large elk heads are
placed over the doors and at intervals
on the bulkheads. Hello Bill" in
large gilt letters runs the entire length
of the structure, while the rigging is
protusely hung with buntings. The in
terror of the place is gotten up with the
road race in view. The pennents of the
various cars i'm the races are inter-
with Elk colors. These pen
nants are all in the official colors of
the cars contesting. and one and all are
very beautiful in design and color.

ALEXANDRIA TO PASADENA
LINE REQUEST REFUSED
n. {. Huntington of Pacific Electric
Declares Grading Alone Would
Cost 100000

PASADENA, July 3.-Unless future
Investigation develops the fact that
enough transportation can be secured
to make the line pay. there is small
probability that the petition of the
Pasadena board of trade, working in
connection with the city of Alhambfa,
for a short line between the two cities
viii be approved by II. e. Huntington.
The members of the two committees.
one headed by President II. T. OFF OF
the board of trade and the other by
Mayor Weeks of Alhambra, conferred
with Mr.. Huntington today, explaining
that the desired line would entail only
the building of short track from
the oak Knoll line already in existence
to the center OF Alhambra. To this
the trolley magnate replied that the
grading alone over the proposed route
would cost close to 100000, even II
the right of way was donated.
He showed on a chart the present
Alhambra traffic which he said was
hardly heavy enough to warrant the
expenditure of such sum unless there
was a prospect of immediate increase.
The conference closed with express
sions of good feeling. in which Mr..
Huntington promised further consld-
Grafton of the subject. as he wished TO
give to the people of Southern Cali
fornia tho best service possible. This
past year he declared, was the first
in which the railroads had shown
profit.

ANNEXATION RUMORS

CONSOLIDATION OF THREE
TOWNS IMPROBABLE
Citizens of Pasadena, South Pasadena
and Alhambra Are Content to AL
low the Situation to Re-
main as 1t Is
Especial to The nsrald.l

PASADENA, July 3.--Stories ema-
mating from Los Angeles to the eileet
that there is motion on foot to Sc
cure the consolidation of this city, Al
hambra and South Pasadena can be
said to be without authority of a ma
ture definite enough to make theln
worthy of serious consideration. There
has been in times past some talk Oh
this kind. A few Pasadenans would
favor consolidation with South Pasa-
dena. Most would be quiescent.
The latest consolidation project TO
be broached was made nearly two
months ago at a meeting of the board
of trustees of South Pasadena, at the
time the question of changing the
name of the city was brought up and
then, half jestingly 1T was suggested
that South Pasadena annex Alham-
bra in order to secure its name.
As to annexation with this city, the
big majority of the South Pasadenans
are strongly against it. They have a
great pride In the rapid growth of their
city and are determined to keep 1t IN
tact as a residential city between the
borders of Los Angeles and the city
to the north. A few disgruntled citl-
zens on the border line have started
petitions about twice a year for an
nexation with Pasadena, but nothing
has ever come of 1t.

PASADENA, July 3.-Charles Madi-
son, aged %, will be confined to his
home in Kenyon street for a week or

a vicious COW at the corner of Noun
tain street and Sunset avenue. His
rg..t hip, leg and arm are severely
skinned and bruised and numerous
patches of skin are missing from his
fingers and the other parts of his body.
The trouble started when the animal
while being led by Madison. turned
contrary and tried to hook him. In
evading the cows thrust his feet be-

he was thrown. The COW plunged off
