Show IN RAILWAY CIRCLES Further News of the Salt Lake Los Angeles IT WILL SURELY BE BUILT I A Growl From Idaho Over the New Time TableA Chance Demanded De-manded General I Isaac Trumbo and wife and H R I Houghton of San Francisco and C H Roser of New York arrived in the city yesterday and are stopping at the Nadeau Messrs Trumbo and Houghton Hough-ton are directors of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake road and Mr Roser is an eminent civil engineer of New York City who is out here as the representative represent-ative of a syndicate of that city who are prepared to take the bonds of the road if his report is favorable The party spent the day in driving over the city and inspecting the proposed terminal ter-minal and depot grounds on the east bank of the Los Angeles River In the afternoon they were handsomely entertained enter-tained by Mayor Workman at his residence on Boyle Heights A Times reporter called on Mr Trumbo at his rooms at the Nadeau last evening to learn something about the plans of the new road We are not prepared to say much at present said Mr Trumbo as we only arrived I today We passed the afternoon very i pleasantly and inspected the proposed depot grounds on the east bank of the river We also drove about the city and were afterward entertained by Mayor Workman will say this much however I am delighted with Los Angeles It is a great place and has a fine future before it We will look over the plans of the proposed routes with Mr Roser and will then be able to come to some definite conclusion You have not yet decided then upon what pass you will use 1 asked the reported No Routes have been surveyed through the San Gabriel Canyon the Pacoima Pass and the Arroyo Seco but we have not yet settled upon which one I it will be Most of the work has been done and profile maps are now ready Mr Roser goes to Pasadena tomorrow to look over the Arroyo Seco route after which the others will be carefully gone over The cheapest and best route will be selected and then we will go ahead The road will certainly be built Oh yes that is settled All the surveys sur-veys at the other end of the lino have been completed and rights of way secured se-cured It is also settled that we will come to Los Angeles as we have just what is wanted here The road will run thrugh a fine mineral country and will open up an immense territory in Utah Nevada and Southern California and will largely extend the influence of Los ngeles as a mercantile centre What is the length of the road Mr Trumbo asked the reporter and what special features arc there connected connect-ed with it The total length is 664 miles and a paying business can developed along the entire line We have good coal within426 miles of Los Angeles and can lay it down here at 5 50 to 6 a ton You can see at once what an impetus im-petus this will give to manufacturing interests Cheap fuel is one of the greatest needs of the city and with this want supplied hundreds of thousands thou-sands of dollars will be annually added to the wealth of the community Then too we can furnish you marble as cheap as sandstone is now supplied and fireclays fire-clays of the first quality as well as the best brick and with the building boom now going on this is no small item There are other advantages too numerous numer-ous to mention but from the above you will see the advantages this city will derive de-rive from the road when completed What eastern connections have you at Salt Lake Any and all of the roads running to that point This is a free road and the one that carries its freight and passengers pas-sengers the cheapest will get its business busi-ness It is a road built for the benefit of the people of the territory through which it runs and will be operated for the development pf the resources of Utah Nevada and Southern California Califor-nia What is your official position in the organization of the road and what particular par-ticular interest do you represent if any I am a member of the board of directors that is all As to whom I represent that is of no consequence This thing of railroad building I Will say is a very expensive business We have already spent something over 200000 and only exist on paper as yet There is a great amount of preliminary work to be done at this end of the line yet in the way of securing right of way and other preliminaries and to this we will devote our attention for the present I am greatly pleased with our reception and find that there is as much interest and good will manifested as there is at Salt Lake while every one is in hearty sympathy with the project There is no question of our success It is only a matter of time Mr Roser was also questioned by the reporter but that gentleman declined to be interviewed He said he was here merely in his professional capacity as engineer and declined to express any opinion until he had examined the work that had already been done He would go to Pasadena today and commence his labors and when he had gone over the various routes would submit his report to his principals at New York Los Angeles Times THAT ABOMINABLE TIKE TABLEAU TABLE-AU the Wood River papers and the people too for that matterare now engaged in berating the Union Pacific company for the poor mail and passenger passen-ger service on this branch and are volunteering vol-unteering their advice as to how it might be improved None of the plans proposed however have received the endorsement of all the parties concerned concern-ed Perhaps it is a more difficult matter mat-ter than appears on the face of it to arrange satisfactory time tables especially when not only the Wood River towns have to be considered but everything between Omaha and Portland Port-land The InterIdaho says it does not give this as an apology for the Union Pacific It believes that the Wood River service can be improved and that Wood R ver pays enough in freights and travol to demand an improvemant But it also calls attention to the fact i that there arc two sides to this as to I I every other question I r At Shoshone the westbound train arrives at 1225 pm and the eastbound east-bound at 619 Comparing this with the Halley time table in another column col-umn it will be seen that only in corning corn-ing from the east can the traveler make close connections for Wood Kiver Ingoing In-going east and in coming or going west he must lay over in Shoshone from 15 to 20 hours In making a trip to and from Salt Lake this does not suit as well as the old time table although under that he was obliged to spend most of the night in Shoshone going either way he now has no delay incoming in-coming but in going he stays in Shoshone Sho-shone from 10 oclock at night to 6 oclock the next afternoon Among the changes proposed is this that the upbound traIn wait until the east and west mails are both in reach Hailey at 10 pm and return to Shoshone Sho-shone by night This would be worse than at present as Hailey mail would not be distributed until morning after the train had left thus requiring over thirty hours to answer a Shoshone letter Another proposal is to have the train lay over night at Ketchnm This does not remove the fact that either the mail from Boise will lay over a whole day in Shoshone or both the east and west mails that ought to reach Hailey in the evening can not be got till the next morning The only hope for a satisfactory adjustment ad-justment is to change the times on the main line There is some probability probabil-ity that this will be done as it is said Manager Potter intends to make still faster time by four or five hours to compete com-pete with the Burlington road If both east and west trains coud be got to S bo shona by say 1 pm all the mails could bo answered the same evening And ifS if-S freight was put on as there ought to be it cold make close connections for passengers leaving Wood River by going go-ing down in the forenoon With only one train a day a delay of fifteen hours is inevitable eitaer going or corning corn-ing both in Boise and Salt Lake travel As It takes only nine hours to come up from Shoshone and return the remaIning remain-ing fifteen hours of the twentyfour will be spent in lying there BUTTE UP IN ASMS The Butte papers reach us containing severe strictures against the railroads and say As if not content with their previous efforts to injure the shippers of this city the railroad companies have withdrawn the reduced freight rates which were recently announced by the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific between be-tween their respective eastern terminals and Butte Both companies stated that on and after November 16th the shippers of Butte and Anaconda should enjoy the same rates as were recently quoted by the Manitoba and Northern Pacific between their eastern terminals and Helena It is statd that on Saturday last the Union Pacific refused to reduce the rates to Anaconda and Butte claiming that under the terms and conditians of the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce bill it was neither necessary nor compulsory on their part to make any reduction in rates to Butte and Anaconda as neither of these cities are on the main line between Silver Bow Junction and Helena As a consequence conse-quence General Freight Agent Calder head of the Montana Union railroad has been notified that while Silver Bow Stuart Warm Springs Deer Lodge Garrison and all points east of Helena will be entitled to the same rates as quoted by the Union Pacific Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads to Helena that Butte and Anaconda ohippers will have to pay the old established rates SjThis decision will be very detrimental ito i-to the interests of Butte and will cutout cut-out our merchants from doing jobbing business with any of the neighboring towns in this vicinity |
