xo Aua.iUc u.uu IAic.lc r)rtd,
v.hich belongs to the Santa Fe sys
tem, will be built on west to tiie
Colorado river, on the boundary
line of California. 2Cow this sys
tem owns a little line called the
Southern California railway, hich
rns from Colton to San Diego on
lite coast, and Colton is on the
Southern Pacific. The line is op
erated independently because of
lis isolation at present, but when
the Atlantic and Pacific reaches the
Colorado, which will be in April.
thoy will find the California South
ern built oast from Colton to meet
them, and then the Atchison, To
pftka and Santa Fe will have a di
rect line of their own to San
Ditgo. a Pacific coast port in the
most proper sense or the word.
Gnarmas is a Gulf of California
port, ad away south of San Diego.
Now die Atchison, Topeka and
Sacta Fe company aie haiing
built some fine iron passenger and
frofcc steamers to run from San
Diego to San Francisco. Port Ian !
and other Oregon ports. This
will be in opposition to the Oicgon
Railway and Navigation, which
runs to San Francisco from Ore
gon ports. The latter is a part of
sorttiarn Pacific company, and
this not on the pait of the Santa
Fe will be a direct cut at the
Northern Pacific. So that you can
tee ihat the Southern Pacific
Steamship line, with its direct
blow at tho Pacific Mail and the
Central and Union Pacific rail
ways, aad the San Diego and Ore
gon Steamship line, with its cut at
the Northern Pacific road, w,ill
make a sCJiaation."
The scheme is all well enough,
but there's nothing in it. The
country is not there to make popu
lation Ilad that southern stretch
sucii a rain as did this northwest
coast yesterday, they would be
telograjnoing the news to the isles
of the southern sea.
