petition of Hill Interests
From San- Diego to San Francisco by
electric service de luxe and then some,
is the : plan of • the Southern • Pacific's
subsidiary electric system.
The unmerging, as told in The Call,
( >' the Pacific Electric company, the
Peninsular Electric and other lines that
have been part of the Southern Pacific
system, will go further. In about two
years a complete string of -electric
communication will have -been com
pleted between San, Francisco and San
Diego, and later this extension will in
clude Eureka,- and this, of course,
means Portland. • - T
Paul Shoup of the Pacific Electric
railway of Los Angeles was -in this
city a few. days ago in connection .with
the extension of,, the electric system
of the Harrlman lines. While : the Har
ri man system operates to ; all intents i
o and* _ ; purposes ; independently of its
electric. lines it ig known that that the j
plan is to have the roads connect up in I
one great .electric service that -will \
-over the entire coast from Portland to j
the. Mexican border. ■'■..- ■'.'./ . , -
Kl-ECTRIFr COAST LCVE
The Southern Pacific has, just com
pleted an extension of its lines from
Los Angeles to Pomona and is . ar
ranging for a service from Pomona to
San Bernardino via Rialto. A branch
road is being built; from PJverside +■>
'olton to* take the place* of the steam
, line between* those' cities and there is
a mile of track to be reconstructed
from Urbita Springs to Colton that will
complete the haul from San Bernardino
west. From Arlington the Pacific Elec
tric will build to San Jacinto,: or will
have to face competition with a com-
»any ; that has already made arrange
ments to get Into this field. From San
Jacinto, or southeast of there,, a line
", is projected to San Diego.
i The Pacific Electric/or/the Southern
Pacific company, owns the electric lines
of San Jose, Fresno, Stockton,'Santa i
Barbara, arid many other coast cities. |
The purpose of the ; company is to
electrify the entire coast line from San !
Francisco, , through to San Jose, Sa- i
I linas, and then on to Santa Barbara j
and Los' Angeles. The old steam rail
road will be entirely done away with.
: The connecting links will be improved
to the extent that heavy tracks will
° be put in arid a"n arrangement for a
L «0 hour, service between this city and j
lx)s Angeles, will not be a thing of |
o the very, distant \ future. '," '■•""
MERGER SIIT DELAYS PLANS I
During, recent conferences In San |
Francisco, arid other conferences in j
Los Angeles, between Harriman system
officials,' it was -. decided that an all j
.3 electric system would be necessary to !
I
offset the competition that the coast
route would ... sooner or later have to 1
face. .: /The question war whether it |
was advisable for the Harriman lines
to make* an announcement of their
°° plans.■','", It was decided that it might
take considerable time and expendi
ture of much money, before the system j
that has been the dream and ambition
of Mr. Shoup, who is general manager
of the Pacific Electric, and all its
0 kindred systems, could be realized.
At this particularly important period
the unmerging suit against/ the
Southern,; Union : and Central Pacific
0 railroads came. up. Plans were tempo
-0 rarily upset, "but Judge Lovett said
that the plans as outlined by General
0 Manager Shoup were good and that
when it became /.at possibility to sep
arate the electric and steam roads from
the management in New -York "and San
Francisco and place them under sep
arate control' It might be /possible to
bring about the desired end—the all
electric coast route.
. MILL TURNING TO ELECTRICITY
At the Los Angeles conference it was
decided that the time had come when
electric power would be -the motive
power for railroads that would best
serve the public interest: Everything
.0 south of Los "Angeles will within the
next year or mote be electrically oper
ated. Everything north of Los, An-
Kcles will have the same trend. From
Portland to Eugene, on the* line of the
Shasta route, the Hill interests have
installed the Oregon Electric and they
are working southward/ The Harriman
interests have acquired water power
rights on this same line and have made
extension into Klamath Falls that will
soon be ; 'electrified. / From Grants -Pass
.*4 Gold Beach, in Oregon, both Hill and
~ rriman ; have/ been - fighting ' ", for
rights "f&y, and from Crescent City
to Gold Beach has been surveyed a line
that is said to be part of the extension
..." of • the/Eureka; line, now building; from
Willetts to the city of tne redwoods.
