KRUTTSCHN|TT HAS
PRAISE FOR VALLEY

"Los Angeles and her commercial
end industrial interests cannot suffer
in any degree, as l see it, by the de-
cision of the Southern Pacific Com
rany to cooperate with John ID.
Spreckels in the construction of the
San Diego & Arizona railroad" said
Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
executive committee of the Southern
Pacific, last night at the Hotel Alex
andria, says the Examiner.
"The position of Los Angeles is too
secure for that" continued Mr.. Krutt-
schitt. "The completion of the new
road, as transcontinental link, is
too remote for us to have worked out
a schedule of passenger and freight
arrangements, but l am sure that
Los Angeles will not be affected ad
versely in any event in transcontin-
tai business.
GAS to Imperial Valley trade, l am
confident the merchants of Los An
geles have the enterprise and advan-
tage of larger interests to maintain
their pre-eminence in the wonderful
valley
A little less than forty miles of
the road remains to be built, but
that is of heavy work on the east
side of the San Diego mountains, and
construction will be slow, Mr.. Krutt-
emit said. Details of that are to be
handled by Mr.. Spreckels. Forty-three
miles of the road west of the noun
tains are in Mexican territory, and
that introduces complications that will
preserve for Los Angeles it's military
advantage of a transcontinental ter
minus of routes entirely within Amer
ican territory. For that reason it is
rot believed the announcement OF the
Southern Pacific regarding the Spreck-
els road will give San Diego any new
advantage in the competition for the
site of the naval and submarine base
and aviation station.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt and President Will
liam Sproule of the Southern Pacific
railroad arrived from San Diego last
evening and are at the Hotel Alex
andria. They will be here for foul
or five days, inspecting the proper
ties of the company, and will ther
proceed to San Francisco. They crossed
the mountains from the Imperial Val
ley to San Diego, following the, sur
veyed route of the Spreckels road.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt is most enthusias
tic over the development of the I'M
perial Valley since his last visit a yeal
