RAILWAY HEAD
PREDICTS EARLY
COMPLETION
~~N S.

Completion of the tunnels through
the mountains on the new San Diego
a Arizona railway between HI Cen
tro and San Diego is predicted about
the end of this year in letter re-
Gently received here from ID. W. Pom
thus, general manager Of the railway,
Mr.. Pontius stated in the letter that
II should not take a great while aft
or the tunnels are finished to put the
road in operation.
This news means that FL Centro
people probably by next spring will
be travelling TO San Diego by rail.
and that much their outgoing
freight will find a new outlet at San
Diego markets and in the markets
supplied through the San Diego har-
Dor.
The new road has been declared
by tourists who have made a trip ovt!'
it 20 be the most scenic in the West.
Its course runs through scenery va
rying from the most rugged noun
tain country TO the most fertile val
lev in the world. Some of the noun
tain scenes. with trees and cliffs to-
gether leaning over the roadbed, fur
. nish most pleasant sights.
Reaching a point near the crest Of
the Coast Range, coming this way.
, the road pushes its way through n
tunnel area about Il miles long, upon
which some of the best engineering
talent in the West has been engaged.
At the western edge of the tunnel
section. where the road starts its
descent of several thousand feet un-
Ill It's reaches the below-sea-level of
Imperial Valley, there is most in
spring view, with the entire Valley
spread out in an expansive vista. On
a clear day it is possible from sew
eral points along the road to make
out nearly all the towns of the Val
ley. At night the lights of all the
towns are plainly visible.
The road going west from FL Cen
tro climbs to an altitude equal &c
that of Jacumha before it enters tn.
tunnel area. From this altitude the
, whole valley presents an inspiring ap
! rearance with its green-coated fields
dotting everywhere and showing tho
result Of only few years of man;
work in what once was barren AN,
desolate eXpanse of sand.

call attention to Robert G. Hill. Let's
hear from you, Judge.
Colonel Roosevelt refuses to be a
candidate for governor of New York
on the Republican ticket. Who can
tell but what he may be waiting tor
1920 to come around and make All
other try for the big plum?
Did you register?
County Clerk Cook reports large
additional list of new voters.
The gubernatorial candidates are
plentiful. There are eight in the
field-Rolph, Hayes, Bordwell, Heney,
McGee, Fickert, Woolwine and Stelh-
ems This is going to be some bat
tie!
Alan T. Baum, formerly feature
writer on the San Francisco Exam
iner, and afterward president of the
Pacific Coast Baseball League, is the
big publicity chief for Rolph. The
San Francisco mayor is picking out
the best available material to help
him in the struggle. Several Other
prominent newspaper men on the
Coast are on the job for Rolph.
1t looked like convention IN Los
Angeles Thursday, when Hayes, Flick
ert, McGee and Stephens were all IN
town at the same time. There were
no hot words exchanged by the can
didates and they were all glad to greet
each other. Wonderful harmony!
