FEDERAL BOARD
APPROVES SALE
OF H0LTON line
Southern Pacific Given
Authority to Complete
Deal, Says Dispatch.

Authority for the purchase Of the
Holton Interurban railway by the
Southern Pacific company, was
granted today by the Interstate com-
merce commission, according to a
United Press dispatch from Wash
ington, received today by the Imper-
ial Valley Press.
The price to be paid for the rail
road is set at $4,000, the South
ern Pacific taking over the entire
holdings of the smaller road from
the Southern Sierras Power com
pany, present owners of the line.
The tranfer will probably be com.
pleted at the end of this month it
was stated at the local office Of
the power company.
Was Built in 1904
The Holton Interurban operates
10.5 miles of railway between this
city and Holtville. T. was built in
1904 by w. F. Holt, valley pioneer,
and as originally constructed it ex-
tended from Imperial to Holtville,
FL Centre not having been built at
that time. After this city was
founded it was made made the ter
minus of the Holton Interurban.
In the earlier days the railroad
carried passengers as well as freight,
but for several years past it has been
operated solely as freight line. 1t
serves particularly rich agricultur.
al community and hundfeds of ears
Of lettuce and cantaloupe, rs we'll as
many other vegetables, are shipped
over it ccoh wear.
May Be New Link
No information regarding the
transfer could be obtained at the
local office of the Southern Pacific
company today. Since negotiations
for the purchase of the Holton In
terurban first started, it has been
reported that the Southern Pacific,
company plans to connect the line
with the new branch line between
Callpatria and Holtville, which was
opened up little more than a wear
ago. The latter line does not extend
directly into Holtville but there is
only a short distance to be con.
structed to achieve that end.
