THE RAILROADS.
The Council Will Redeem
Themselves at Once.
The Franchise to be Granted
for the Terminal.
Local Notes From the Companies
Here and There.
Chicago Terminal Facilities and the Salt
Lake's Interest in the Los Angeles
and Salt Lake Road.
Some few days ago there was incor
porated at San Bernardino the San Ber
nardino and Eastern railway company.
This is the Belt Line, on which work
will begin in a few days, as reported in
the Hebald a few r days ago.
News reached the city yesterday that
on the previous night the dead body of
a man named Kuhl had passed Mojaye
to San Francisco. The deceased is said
to have been a fireman on the Atlantic
and Pacific, who was killed in an acci
dent. The Santa Fe officials here
know nothing of the matter.
Hon. W. H. Workman says
he is out of politics for the
purpose of taking care of the
railroad to boom Los Angeles. That is
all right, for the Terminal is "getting
there." Yesterday a conference was
held, to which Mr. Burnett and the coun
cilj were parties, to talk over the
matter and agree on a plan of action.
All the points have been
arranged, and as next Monday
and Tuesday are legal holidays
the council will hold a session today and
pass the ordinance granting the railroad
its franchise. Some people are afraid
all the roads will not be able to get into
this city. There is plenty of room.
Railroads build up cities, and no other
influence can. Study out the following
exhibit of how Chicago has been made
what she is. The Railway Age, pub
lished at Chicago, shows the situation
there:
"The mileage of tracks and the
amount of ground occupied for the ter
minals of the railways entering Chicago I
are much greater than is generally sup
posed, even hy railway men. A compil
ation from the census returns shows I
that 26 different railway companies ;
have within the city limits of Chicago
1,090 miles of tracks and 3,843 acres of
land for terminal purposes —a mileage
greater than the entire main line mile
age of either New Hamshire or Connec
ticut, and an area equivalent to
more than six square miles. The com
panies having the greatest terminal track
age within the city are as follows : Chicago
& Northwestern 10!) miles, Illinois Cent
ral 124, Milwaukee & St. Paul 112, Chi- I
cago & Western Indiana 88, Pittsburg
Fort Wayne it Chicago 7!l, Chicago Bur
lington & Quincy 77, Chicago Rock Is
land & Pacific 72, Lake Shore & Michi
gan Southern (it), Chicago St. Louis St
Pittsburg 56, Belt Railw ay 53, and so on
down. In respect to acreage the figures
are as follows : Illinois Central 591 acres,
Chicago & Northwestern 455, Chicago &
Western Indiana 352, Chicago Santa Fe
& California 340, Pittsburg Fort Wayne
& Chicago 281, Belt Railway 232, Chica
go Burlington & Quincy 225,' Chicago
Milwaukee <k St. Paul 214, etc. It must
be borne in mind that several of the com
panies have large freight yards just out
side the city limits which as really form
a part of the Chicago railway terminal j
system as do those within the city limits,
so that the above figures, large as they
are, do not indicate the whole of the
railway mileage and acreage devoted to
the vast terminal business of the rail
ways converging at the greatest railway
center in the world. The value of this
property, a considerable part of which
lies in and close to the business center,
is already enormous and is increasing
at a rapid rate. Although the railway
companies are thus in one point of view
profiting by the increase of real estate
values in Cnicago, as all the ground
which they own for terminals is becom
ing increasingly valuable, still as it is
chiefly held,for actual and necessary
use the increase in value does not help
the revenues of the companies, while
on the other hand the taxes are large
and yearly increasing."
Any one who wants to know what has
made Chicago the great city she is, has
the full answer in the above lines.
The Railway Age is one of the most
conservative papers in America, and
admits to its columns nothing that has
not the similitude of truth plainly im
pressed on it. Here is something that,
journal copies from a Salt Lake publi
cation of recent issre:
"There is no line that Salt Lake is
looking forward to with more pleasure
than the road to Los Angeles. The
Union Pacific railroad has had surveyors
out running lines in all directions to
discover the most feasible route to the
'City of the Angels.' This road has also
sent several mining experts through
the country to determine its resources.
The proposed route will take one of two
directions. Apparently the most feas
ible one is to leave the Utah Central at
Milford, thence southward to Pioche,
Nev., thence to Bristol Pass, thence to
White River Wash, over Frieburg Pass
to Pennoyer Valley, Kane Spring, the
headwaters of the Amargosa river,
down to Ash Meadows, Death Valley,
over into the Mojave desert, striking
the Atlantic and Pacific road at Bars
tow. The grade will not exceed 100 feet
per mile, nor six degrees of curve. The
cost will be from $12,000 to $20,000 per
mile. The other route which, on ac
count ot its great resources, is likely to
be selected, is to leave the Utah Central
at Juab, ascend the Sevier valley to
Bear valley, cross over the low Fremont
pass near" Parowan, thence near the
Iron Springs, and so out on the Esea
lante plains near Milford, following the
route already mentioned from Milford.
This will be very productive, for the
upper Sevier is very productive and is
lined with valuable mining camps,
which will ship thousands of tons of
ore. At Salina the large rock salt beds
will be tapped, supplying all possible
demand?. A spur at .this place, run
ning a few miles, will pass
the salt deposits and cross
over to theeoalbeds, which are the heav
iest in the territory. There is one vein 30
feet thick, which "the company already
owns. Near the coal and at Fremont
Pass there is any quantHy of fine tim
her for lumber and charcoal. At Iron
Springs the road will touch the great
iron deposits, bringing them the char
coal, coal and possibly the coke from
near at hand, and will give to Utah
such an impetus as it never had before.
. This will be just as near a route as the
other and will be infinitely more pro
ductive*. Another proposed road is the
extension of the Union Pacific from
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1890.
Garfield to Deep Creek, thence westward
to Wadsworth on the Central Pacific,
thence to the headwaters of the Feather
river in California; it will descend this
stream and go on to San Francisco.
This will give the Union Pacific its cov
eted outlet. It will go through a very
productive country."

Los Angeles on his tour.
REDONDO BEACH.
Jmprovements Planned All Along the
Line Thereabouts. '
The Redondo Beach company, and the
hotel and railroad companies, are con
tinually planning further improvements
at their popular seaside town, and they
not only plan, but execute. When Cap
tain Ainsworth, the head of the com
panies, or Mr. Root, the manager of the
hotel, says it has been decided to make
a certain improvement, the public may
be sure that the improvement w ill be
made, and made in about as short a
time as possible.
Among the improvements now in pro
gress is the construction|of the beautiful
pavilion, with its twenty-foot verandas
on every side, its completely equipped \
lunch counter, free tables for visitors
who provide their own lunches, and the
private rooms for parties or families on
the "upper deck" of tne establishment.
The pavilion will soon be completed and
ready for use. It will be a very attract
ive feature of the beach, especially for
transient visitors.
Additional waiks are being constructed
in front of the hotel for the better ac
commodation of guests who may be in
clined to pedestrian exercises while
viewing the grand old ocean and inhal
ing the pure cool air that comes iv from
off the "briny deep."
Workmen and a huge derrick are en
gaged on the pier to still further
strengthen the substantial structure.
The pier will also be enlarged to accom
modate the increasing shipping bus
iness.
Among the improvements soon to be
made is a substantial promenade, to ex
tend along the beach from the bath
house to the wide stairway that leads
up to the hotel grounds. It will be
made of lumber, and far enough above
the ground to escape being submerged
by the waves at high tide. At close in
tervals there will be small pavilions,
provided with seats, where spectators
can quietly rest themselves and view
the bathers disporting in the surf.
On Wednesday Captain Ainsworth and
others surveyed a portion of the route
between Redondo and San Pedro, as the
captain' contemplates the establishment
of a driveway from one point to the oth
er, on the bluff immediately overlooking
the beach.
Fishing, yachting and surf-bathing
continue to be enjoyed by hundreds of 1
people every day, while business on the
wharf is constantly increasing.
The schooners North Bend and
Halcyon unloaded their last piece of
lumber last evening. They will both
sail north today.
The steamer Eureka landed here
Tuesday evening from San Pedro, en route
for San Francisco. Loaded 7,000 sacks
of bailey, 200 cases of canned goods,
and a quantity of various other freight,
general merchandise and six passengers.
She had a full cargo aboard, all she
could carry.
The Alexander Duncan came in to port
on Wednesday morning bound for the
north, and is still here loading her cargo
of 6,500 sacks of grain, besides other
freight and miscellaneous merchandise.
She is expected to leave some time to
night.
The Los Angeles will be here from
San Francisco some time tonight, with
a full load of general merchandise.
A man fell overboard yesterday after
noon from off one of the lower side
beams of the pier, into over thirty feet
of water. The motion of the pile driver
caused him to lose his balance and he
pitched headforemost into the sea. A
sensation was caused. It was not more
than a minute before he came to the
surface and very calmly swam to the
nearest pile, and, hanging fast to it,
asked for a rope, which was at once
dropped to him. In a few seconds he
was on the wharf as if nothing had hap
pened more than a bath in the ocean of
thirty f c; depth.
The November election will exceed 150
voters as the register here looks now.
Mr. and Mrs. L. J.Perry have been
absent since last Wednesday, taking a
trip to Santa Barbara. They left'on the
Eureka and are looked for to return,
today. Mr. and Mrs. Pridham, of Los
Angeles, were seen visiting the salt
works, flower gardens and different
prominent and beautiful spots at Re
dondo yesterday.

in the East, and the only ones permanently successful.
Over 300 miles of this paving are now laid in the principal
cities of the United States. It is supplanting stone, wood,
and other pavements. Recommended by sanitary and
civil engineers of cities, because:
1. —It is cheaper to maintain.
2—lt saves wear and tear of vehicles and lessens cost
of drayage in increased loads hauled.
3. —It is clean, free from dust, mudandunhealthful ac
cumulations common to every other pavement and dang
erous to health.
4. —It is comparatively noiseless; in this respect
a boon appreciated by business men, invalids, dwellers in
hotels and homes.
