OF Southern California-Rcd-
lands OH Main Line.

The Salt Lake Route is to build an
expensive loop line running from san
Bernardlno to Redlands. thence 10
Highlands and Cajon Pass. via Arrow
head station to Daggett. according TO
information CLEANED from southern Cali
forna sorces The recent bond Issue
for $50. 100000. recently authorized by
the Clark road. is for the purpose, it is
said. OF reducing by sSoOOO.0oo bonds al
ready outstanding against the road,
while the remaining S200o0,00o is
to be used for constructing the new
line between Daggett and Riverside, be-
tween which points tho Salt Lake
Route has since it frat started, used
the tracks belonging to the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fc At Daggctt the
road takes up its own line again
through the southern deserts of Nc
vada and the Meadow Valley wash. and
on 10 Salt Lake.
The matter of using the track and
roadbed of another road it Is said has
become irksome to the managers of the
Salt Lake Route, and as soon as possi-
bic. the new loop road is to be con-
structcd, giving the line its own road
bed clear through. Information is not
specific as TO the exact route TO be fol-
lowed by the loop, further than that
the end of the freight division is likely
TO be at Cotton on account of the loca
tIon OF the big cspee proceeding plant
there. which viii also be used by the
Salt Lake line.
LOOP AROUND VALLEY.
part OF the plan is believed to he
loop around the valley. touching both
Redlands and Highland. where the
orange crop would materially swell the
freight tonnage. and heading into Ca
jon Pass along the east side after coast
ing along the mountain side. bending TO
the west in the neighborhood of the
Arrowhead settlement There is an
other survey still higher on the noun
tain side. that crosses in front OF the
Arrowhead hotel, coming up from High
land.
However, the certain part of the pres
ent announcement Is that the time for
the financing of this important bit or
construction has arrived. that the work
is to be ordered forthwith, and that
millions of dollars are to be spent in
the valley and in the mountains trlbu-
tary to san Bernardino. with the con-
scquent effects on business Immediately
as we'll as the ultimate benefits from
the Inauguration of the Salt Lakes
own line and completed system.
SURVEYORS BUSY.
Surveyors OF the Salt Lake Route
have been busy lately in the neigh
borhood OF Highland. and the route
taken BY them would indicate that not
only does the Salt Lake Route have in
mind the orange business of Highland
and Redlands. but 1t is also aft<r trade

Whether or not the loop line of the
Salt Lake win be man line remains
to be seen. although in the minds OF
many 1t is thought that it will be such.
OF the three continental railroads OF
southern California none have a main
line running into the city OF Redlands,
and as Redlands IS one of the best tour
ist towns in the state. 1t is thought
that much will be gained by having the
overland as we'll as the limited trains
pass through that city. The route no
doubt will be from Cotton to Redlands.
thence to Highland and the Cajon pass.
with a branch line running into San
Bernardino as the Southern Pacific Is
now doing from Cotton.
