It now seems sn assured fact that Salt Lake City and Los Angeles will be connected by rail In a short time, by the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Sait Lake line, the road which is backed by Senator Clark of Montana and associates. The Salt Lake Tribune of Sunday prints tbe following special telegram regarding the matter: New York, April 18. Senator W. A. states that he has purClark San the for Pedro, chased Los Angeles snd Salt Lake Railroad company all lines and equipment of Oregon Short Line company lying south of Salt Lake in Utah and Necut-ofvada, including Leamington and has obtained n ninety-ninyear lease on terminal facilities in Salt Lke City in conjunction with Oregon Short Line. The property will be transferred as soon as necessary directors meetings may be held and contracts approved. Grading and track laying will be commenced at Daggett, California, and tbe road will soon be extended from Callentes through Nevada. From Leamington to Callentes tbe roadbed will be improved nnd rails. Tbe with western terminus of the road la now being operated from San Pedro harbor to Ontario, and will soon be completed and in operation as far as Riverside. He hopes to have tbe road completed in about two years. A. UNDERWOOD, t (Private Secretary to William A. Clark.) This will indeed prove good news to the people of Utah, as the San Pedro system will enter a territory which has long looked forward to tbe time when they might have proper railway facilities. The San Pedro system will be nn independent line. It will be controlled absolutely and owned by its own officers, nnd all railroad lines will have access to Us facilities on equal terms. This Insures Salt Lake City against any combination which will preclude railroad rivalry or fixed arbitrary rates to the Pacific slope. The directors of the road ae: W. A. Clark, president; R. C. Kerens, J. Roes Clark, T, E. Gibbon, T. F. MlUer, F. K. Thomas Rule, W. S. McCornlck Kearns, Reed Smoot, E. W. Clark, Perry S. Heath, Ross W. Smith. The Tribune publishes an interview with Senator Kearns, in which I believe that be says, in part: tralna will be running between Salt Lake and Lob Angeles over the completed Une within eighteen months from today. The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad company has now available on call (25,000,000 in cash for the completion of the main line, branches and spurs. There Is no more financiering to be done, and there will be no more delay in pushing the completion of the work. As soon as Senator W. A. Clark arrives in Salt Lake City, which I expect will be within the next two or three weeks, the formal transfer of tbe 444 miles of tbe Oregon Short Line property south of Salt Lake City will be formally railroad made, and an experienced manager will take charge of the operations of the Une and all of Its inter esta at this end, although the transfer by completion of negotiation and signature to contracts has been made on paper already in New York. Too much credit cannot be given to Senator William A. Clark of Montana for tbe faithful manner in which be has carried out erery promise made to the citizens of Sait Lake City in the autumn of 1900, when he promised that this Une would be constructed and that it would be an open gateway between tbe capital of Utah and southern California. e re-lai- seventy-five-poun- d CALIFORNIA DESPERADO DEAD.
