Tri-W Weekly Train
Now Very Popular

Ch|rlcs T, Matlin, local agent for
the San Diego and Arizona Railway, re,
ports the new tri-wccklY train between
San Diego and Imperial Valley, is prov
ing immensely popular with patrons of
the road. BY means of the new ser
vice, which was installed on November
-, it is possible for passengers board
ing the train at San Diego, and to con
meet with the crack "Sunsct Limited y
of the Southern Pacific at Niland for
Chicago and other eastern points.
The new train reduces the running
time between San Diego and FL Ccntro
by 80 minutes, leaving the former city
at Il. m. and arriving here at LEO.
Connections are made here with the
"stub train of the Southern Pacific
Company, operating between CalcAico
and INLAND.
1t is the intention of the San Diego
and Arizona to make the service daily
just as soon as the patronage warrants,
aud according to Mr. Matlln, the pres
ant popularity Of the train makes it APP
parent that the change will have to be
made much sooner than the officials
anticipated.
