Now comes a special dispatch from
San Francisco announcing that The
Southern Pacific Company has appro-
priatcd three and a half million dollars
for further work on the construction
of the. san Diego and Arizona railroad.
which sum. with that already available,
Is expected to carry construction well
through the mountains.
The same dispatch confirms the re
port previously published, that con-
struction will be resumed on this end
of the road in September, for which
rails and ties We're ordered several
months since.
The allotment Of money now made Is
expected to cover the construction Of
total of thirty-tive miles, which IS
expected to be completed within year
1t is expected that a similar allol-
ment of money next year will complete
the road. which i expected to be fin
ished within less than two years, giving
to San Diego at last that direct short

valley another outlet to the sea on
route but half as long as the present
one.
! 1t IS particularly desired by San
Diego that this road shall be completed
IN time for the exposition in 1913,
and there is every reason to believe
the wish will be granted.
The completion of the work thus
outlined for the coming year IS eX-
pected to bring the two ends of the
road 50 near together that it will be
practicable to establish stage connec-
tons between the two ends, trains be-
ing operated out of San Diego and out
Of Ell Centro to the frontiers.
During the last few weeks, as The
people Of San Diego have come to
realize that the day is near for uniting
the two communities by rail, deeper
interest than ever has been awakened
in this valley, and scores of San Di-
egans have been coming over here to
study the situation.
With the completion Of the road 1t
will be found that the relationship be-

tween the valley and the city is READ!
formed, and the people will Join forces
| on all large public enterprises.
The San Diego Union thus tells OF
the work in hand:
For dispatch in completing the San
Diego and Arizona railroad construction
| work will begin soon at the eastern enc
of the line and work will he rusheC
from both ends, according to Chiel
Engineer E. J. Kallright.
Materials for tracks and bridges nave
been ordered for September deliver!
at the eastern end Of the track, and
bids are being called for grading con-
structiOn. Grading will begin as near
ly as possible after August 1.
In i91f-12 ten miles of the roao
was completed westward from Seeley
where connection is made with tne
trO and Holtville, and the interurDaf
company is now operating trains over
the San Diego and Arizona track 70
DiXieland under lease.
The second ten miles for which con-
tract is about to be awarded will eXtend
the San Diego and Arizona westward
to Coyote wells, a distance of six miles
from the present end of track, ana
four miles beyond. On this extension
several short openings will have to be
bridged. The longest of the bridges
will be $50 feet in length, the others
from t6 to 100 feet in length
While the grading contracts for the
road are given to other companies, the
san Diego and Arizona operates its own
bridge and track construction crews,
and these will follow closely on the
graders.
At the western end Of the track from
san Diego, which is now about mile
from Dupee, Robert Sherer & Co,
grading contractors who have had the
work all the way from San Diego, have
practically completed their work into
Dupee and the laying of track to this
point is expected to be resumed July 4.
The steel gang, following mp the
graders, is now busy curving rails and
making other preparations to get on to
the road bed.
Sherer & Co. are now working on
a stretch of several miles which will
take the road from Dupee to the lower
end of the Tecate valley.
Dupee is "a miles from san Diego:
When the present contract is finished
and the rails laid the track will be
within fifteen miles of Campo.
With this work on the western end
and the additional ten miles on the
and Arizona will have 50 miles of
track, or approximately half Of its sur
Ney. completed.
The contractors at the western end
are now working about 100 head of
stock, three steam shovels and three
engines and dirt trains. The force of
men varies from so to 800, according
to the work at hand. Where heavy
blasting, for instance, requires great
er force Of men in the hauling Of rock.
the force is larger.
The steel gang following consists of
from 80 to 60 men. varying with the
work. Construction is all first class.
In the valley section, completed, 15
pound rails were used, while in the
mountain section, beginning at Garcia,
21 miles in the rear Of present work,
90-pound rails have been laid and will
be carried through to the desert sec

Wilson Final Arbiter

WASHINGTON, June 21.-An
amendment to the Underwood tariff
bill adopted by the majority members
Of the senate finance committee would
give the president authority to sus-
pend certain rates in the proposed law
and to proclaim special rates against
nations which discriminate against
products Of the United States.
The amendment is appended to the
clause giving the president authority
to negotiate reciprocity agreements
with other nations and in some re-,
spects resembles the maximum and
minimum clause Of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law eliminated in the house bill.
In substance. the amendment would
provide that when any nation discrlm-
mates against the product Of the
United States or imposes restrictions
upon United States exports, or IN the
opinion Of the president does not re-
ciprocate in trade relations, the presl-
dent by proclamation may suspend Ger
tain rates and put in effect other rates

FIRST BIG GRAIN FIRE
EVER seen IN THE VALLEY

The first big grain fire in the his
tory Of the valley occurred at Key
stone last night. when about $4,000
bushels Of barley were burned in the
fields Of Lyal Brothers.
The origin Of the fire is not known.
though it is thought possibly to have
been incendiary.
The flames were spectacular, the
glow Of the sky being seen from all
parts Of the valley.
A great many persons turned out
and Imperial sent an engine to the
scene, but it was not possible to get
close enough to the fire to be Of as
sistance. Backflring was attempted,
but not successfully, and the fire
burned itself out.
