The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY... JANUARY 31, 1901 CONDENSED MILK FACTORY. Anaheim will have in the near future an opportunity of securing the establishment here of an enterprise which will mean much for the future development of this section. John Meyenberg, who was associated for a long time with the condensed milk factory at Buena Park (he being the originator of the Lily brand of condensed cream), contemplates coming here from Oregon for the purpose of establishing a condensed milk factory which will at the start give employment to thirty people, and will consume from 4000 to 5000 pounds of milk daily. Mr. Meyenberg is now associated with Mr. Yerxa, who was formerly in the grocery business in Los Angeles, and with Mr. Stewart of Craig, Stewart & Co., the wholesale Los Angeles grocers, in a condensed milk establishment in Kent, Washington. The establishment is known as the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk company, and has been the means of transforming the town of Kent from a sleepy village, filled with untenanted houses, to a bustling city of many thousands of inhabitants. His contract with the Kent establishment expires next month, and he contemplates moving to Orange county for the purpose of starting a company to handle two of his newly patented processes which he has lately procured for sterilizing and condensing milk. One of these patents consists in preparing the milk of the dairy herd into an artificial brand of mother's milk, whichure. Another story sent out represents Roosevelt as crying over the death of a hound. This was manufactured in Denver. The only authentic account so far is the fact that Roosevelt arrived at his destination and took the field. At his request nothing further has been said locally, and until he emerges from seclusion there is not much prospect of getting accurate information. His privacy is respected and when the truth is told it will appear that there are fewer wild animals in Colorado than correspondents would have it appear. NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING The School Trustees have called an election of the people of the district to vote upon the question of issuing bonds in the amount of $12,500 for the purpose of erecting a high school building. More room is necessary to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of school children. The election occurs on February 19th. Since the establishment of the high school the demands upon its accommodations have been such that an order has been issued that no more pupils can be admitted. Chairs have been placed in the aisles and at the sides of the rooms to provide seats for the constantly increasing number of pupils applying for admission, so that at this time there is absolutely no room for another one. The growth of the district has been so rapid that more school room is necessary. Not only is the high school crowded, but the lower branches are also filled to overflowing. Payment of the old bonds issued for the erection of the present school building will be completed in four years. This will save to the taxpayers the sum of $700 per year. JOINT WORK UP THE R Mr. Armor Points out What He Received as a Preposterous Statement from Mr. Sherwood. EDITOR GAZETTE:—As Sherwood indicated in his last article in paper that many others had himself were weary of this session, I will pass by his inconsistent confessions of judgment, selections and "pet jokes" and tell them new imputation against Fay. After using the quotation from Fay's annual report until threadbare, in spite of my protest that "for decency's sake should be left in peace," Mr. wood commenced to hint at thing else that the late president told him in confidence (aive session.) I tried to detach from dragging Mr. Fay's name from controversy any more, doing, however, any apprehension my own account. Finally last week's article, after some merited encomiums upon Mr. and an injust reflection upon put forth the most preposter son for Mr. Fay's recommendation purchase of the Durkee heartily endorse everything praise of Mr. Fay and his work for the A. U. W. Co.; but not preface with sycophantic statement of Mr. Fay's allegation son for the purchase of the which, if true, would convince ignorance or duplicity, as Mr. wood has done. The reason was that, the S. A. V. I. Co.'s practically out of debt and mined to enter upon the long development of water river, the A. U. W. Co. must and assist in any work under "OR BE FOREVER SHUT OUT." The son is a most preposterous one could not have been given earnest by Mr. Fay, although a sleepy village, filled with untenanted houses, to a bustling city of many thousands of inhabitants. His contract with the Kent establishment expires next month, and he contemplates moving to Orange county for the purpose of starting a company to handle two of his newly patented processes which he has lately procured for sterilizing and condensing milk. One of these patents consists in preparing the milk of the dairy herd into an artificial brand of mother's milk, which is known as the Sanitas brand, the other being what is known as the Cereal brand of sterilized milk. Both are new patents, and in Mr. Meyenberg's opinion combine the most approved means of preparing milk for the general trade. He has also a process for preserving potatoes, which he contemplates going into extensively here, and will ultimately take up the preparation of green chilis for the market. When Mr. Meyenberg started his factory in Kent, in September, 1898, he used 2000 pounds of milk daily. In January of the following year the business had grown to 6000 pounds, and in July last, so successful was he in his undertaking that his factory consumed 25,000 pounds of milk daily. Last week he shipped to China 2250 cases of these goods. Next month (Feb. 16) his contract calls for the shipment of 1600 additional cases, and April 15th he will ship 6000 cases of milk to Alaska. Mr. Meyenberg means business, and it is to be hoped the enterprising citizens of this community will meet him half way, and take an interest in establishing this industry here. The Dreyfus winery ought to furnish an ideal location for this business. Situated on a main line of railway, with adequate switching privileges, the building ought to provide a splendid location for the enterprise. While it is intended to start with a force of thirty hands, it is confidently expected fifty hands will be employed within a short time thereafter. Mr. Yerxa is expected to be in Orange county shortly, and while other localities may be active bidders for this enterprise, we believe that this section, possessing as it does peculiar advantages for the establishment of a business of this kind, will be favored with its location. Mr. Meyenberg asks a bonus of $6000 from the citizens of the community, and it behooves our people to get together, and, as we say, meet him half way in his enterprise. We have the milk here, and we doubt if a more favorable location applying for admission, so that at this time there is absolutely no room for another one. The growth of the district has been so rapid that more school room is necessary. Not only is the high school crowded, but the lower branches are also filled to overflowing. Payment of the old bonds issued for the erection of the present school building will be completed in four years. This will save to the taxpayers the sum of $700 per year. The question of issuing bonds for public improvements should engage the serious attention of the taxpayer, but in view of the fact that more school room is absolutely necessary, we think the matter will appeal to them in favorable light. Santa Ana has lately erected a magnificent high school building, and the needs of our school district demand that we do as well by our constantly increasing number of school children. The army reorganization bill, as passed by the house, adopts without change the senate provision providing for the appointment of volunteer officers to positions in the regular army. The conference committee quickly reached an agreement on this provision, leaving it as passed by the senate. The provision is as follows: "Persons not over 40 years of age, who shall have at any time served as volunteers subsequent to April 21, 1898, and commissioned officers who shall have at any time served as volunteers subsequent to April 21, 1898, may be ordered before boards of officers for such examination as may be prescribed by the secretary of war, and those who may establish their fitness before these examining boards may be appointed to the grades of captain or first or second lieutenant in the regular army, taking rank in the respective grades according to seniority as determined by length of prior commissioned service." The words "commissioned officers who shall have at any time served as volunteers subsequent to April 21, 1898," were placed in the section by Senator McComas of Maryland, who explained at the time that his object was to permit commissioned officers over 40 years of age to take the examination. "A Remarkable Man." The Columbia (Tenn.) Journal of date Jan. 22 contains the following reference to a gentleman whom Anahelmers well remember: "A REMARKABLE MAN." Next Wednesday Dr. Louis Schlesin- son for the purchase of the which, if true, would convince ignorance or duplicity, as Mr Wood has done. The reason was that, the S. A. V. I. Co., practically out of debt and mined to enter upon the long development of water river, the A. U. W. Co. must assist in any work under "OR BE FOREVER SHUT OUT." The son is a most preposterous one could not have been given earnest by Mr. Fay, although understand why it is put forward. The present purpose is evident find an excuse for the part t W. Co. took in a purchase some of the stockholders c and saddle all the blame; there be, upon the S. A. W. Without stopping to register approval of such an unmature pose, I will proceed at once why the reason assigned in posterous one.

Three ye when each company was prepared to develop water on its own and watching its neighbor w ous eyes, counsel was taken ownership of the water so de The attorneys advised th company had an equal right subterranean as well as to face flow of the stream, and two boards had better con understanding before they complications over the matter original stipulations could found, so a new agreement made, executed and recorded effect that the water of th Ana river, surface and su would be equally divided; expense of all joint dev would be borne equally by panies—provided that if e i pany undertook any device alone it should be allowed th proceeds of the work until time as the other company th expenses, when th must be equally divided; the two companies would j fend their rights against al From this synopsis of the ap which is a formal affair and binding force of law bet two companies, it is neither company could in sible manner "be forever s of any of its rights in th other. In fact th gives the conservative com advantage of waiting unt are ascertained; then if Orange county shortly, and while other localities may be active bidders for this enterprise, we believe that this section, possessing as it does peculiar advantages for the establishment of a business of this kind, will be favored with its location. Mr. Meyenberg asks a bonus of $6000 from the citizens of the community, and it behooves our people to get together, and, as we say, meet him half way in his enterprise. We have the milk here, and we doubt if a more favorable location in the State of California could be secured. It therefore remains for the business men of the community to say whether a sufficient bonus may be raised to ensure the location of the enterprise in this community. We have no doubt of the result: let us raise the bonus, and make this section famous as the place where the Sanitas and Cereal brands of condensed milk are prepared. The fertile-brained newspaper correspondent is working over time on account of Col. Roosevelt's hunting trip to Colorado. According to private advices from the hunters, not one of these hair-raising stories about Roosevelt's encounters with wild beasts are true. Two reporters tried to go with the party, but were told they could not get accommodations at the shooting grounds, and were not taken along. They remained at Meeker, where they industriously grind out all sorts of horrible adventures for the great American people. The Colorado papers are not publishing any of the stories, it would injure their reputation with the men who are trying to provide an enjoyable time for the hunters. The hand-to-hand struggle story, in which the brave hunter stabbed two lions to the heart, was made out of whole cloth at Colorado Springs. The narrative about him being treed by four wolves came from a Denver correspondent, who was ordered by a newspaper to furnish a daily report of terrific adventure. "A Remarkable Man." The Columbia (Tenn.) Journal of date Jan. 22 contains the following reference to a gentleman whom Anaheimers well remember: "A REMARKABLE MAN." Next Wednesday Dr. Louis Schlesinger, of San Francisco, will arrive in Columbia for a short visit. Among spiritualists he enjoys the distinction of being the greatest exponent of their creed. But his occult powers, whatever their source, are simply wonderful. But the venerable gentleman, for he is nearly eighty years old, is always glad to give an exhibition of his wonderful gift to all who are not mere curiosity seekers. While here, he will be the guest of Mr. D. Lazarus, between whom and the doctor there has existed a friendship for the last forty years." Schlesinger lived at Placentia in the 70's, and created quite a stir among the members of the Societas Fraternia. He was drummed out of the county as a fake. President Gratified. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—President McKinley is as pleased as a boy with a new top with that California ballot box that was presented to him Saturday. The presentation was made by Samuel Shortridge. He was accompanied to the White House by Col. George Stone, Senator Bard, Senator Perkins, Representatives Waters, Wood, Barham, Kahn, Metcalf, Loud and Needham. Mr. Shortridge in his choicest language told the President that the box was his; that California was proud to give it to him; that California was proud of the President. Mr. McKinley responded delightfully. He returned all of California's compliments and added more to them. He said very few words, then he went on to examine the box, and grew better pleased the longer he looked at it. He shook hands with everybody in the room, called in Senator Lodge and Senator Fairbanks and showed the box to them. He said it must be placed somewhere in the White House where visitors might see it, must be equally divided; the two companies would jointly fend their rights against all From this synopsis of the age which is a formal affair and binding force of law between two companies, it is safe neither company could in sible manner "be forever of any of its rights in the other. In fact the act gives the conservative advantage of waiting until are ascertained; then if these results worth the excured, it can demand its payment of its share of this Under such conditions, Mr. Fay and his associates ing in the purchase of this ranch, because they felt co to do so for fear of losing th in the river, is to charge th with ignorance of the under which they were open with duplicity in openly ad a measure of which they did prove at heart. Either ho delimma is an unmerited those men; therefore I say son put forward by Mr. Sha name of Mr. Fay is a pious one. The attempt to transferponsibility of the A.U.W.C share in the purchase of this ranch to the S.A.V.I.C on the assumption that chase was a bad investment such is not the case. They been a better investment water and water rights in California within the past Few purchases were ever made in the care and painstaking tion that was devoted to and so far as known every of both boards of directors oughly convinced that they was a wise one to make for panies. It is true some has developed among th holders; but that does not purchase to be worthless. AFTER using the quotation from Mr. Fay's annual report until it was spreadbare, in spite of my earnest protest that "for decency's sake he should be left in peace," Mr. Sherwood commenced to hint at something else that the late president had told him in confidence ("executive session.") I tried to deter him from dragging Mr. Fay's name into the controversy any more, disclaiming, however, any apprehensions on his own account. Finally in his last week's article, after some well-verified encomiums upon Mr. Fay, and an injust reflection upon me, he put forth the most preposterous reason for Mr. Fay's recommending the purchase of the Durkee ranch. I heartily endorse everything said in praise of Mr. Fay and his faithful work for the A. U. W. Co.; but I do not preface with sycophantic praise statement of Mr. Fay's alleged reason for the purchase of the ranch, which, if true, would convict him of ignorance or duplicity, as Mr. Sherwood has done. The reason given was that, the S. A. V. I. Co. being practically out of debt and determined to enter upon the long-talked development of water up the river, the A. U. W. Co. must join it and assist in any work undertaken. FOR BEFORE SHUT OUT." This reason is a most preposterous one, and should not have been given in sober earnest by Mr. Fay, although I unknowingly used it. "We had practical demonstration during the summer months of the value to the company in one respect of the Durkee ranch. Had there been as much water used on this ranch during these months as Mr. Durkee took from the river the pre-existing condition that was false and misleading. Up to the very last article, Sherwood kept chattering like a magpie: "The stockholders may go to the devil, (and Fuller has the water;)" "Fuller boasts that he has the water and is going to keep it." Nobody wants the stockholders to go to the devil—at least I am doing my duty by them in trying to prevent such a calamity; but, as before stated, they can destroy the usefulness of this purchase if they want to do so. The Fuller ditch was nearly completed before anybody connected with either company ever thought of buying the Durkee ranch. The two boards inspected the greater portion of the Fuller ditch six months before the Durkee purchase was considered, and the water was run though it onto the mesa within a month after the purchase was made. These facts prove conclusively that the Fuller diversion had no connection with the Durkee sale or the Durkee water; but is the outcroping of the disposition in all the landowners above us to disregard our rights and interest in the river. Realizing that Durkee had everything necessary to make his water rights valuable and reasonably secure, the companies bought him out, thereby acquiring title to and possession of the largest stream diverted between Riverside and our division gate, as well as extensive riparian holdings. Being advised that Fuller's diversion was contrary to law, the companies brought suit to restrain him, and the end is not yet; "He laughs best who laughs last." As to the possible effect of these two diversions operating against us at the same time, President Chapman in his annual report says: "We had practical demonstration during the summer months of the value to the company in one respect of the Durkee ranch. Had there been as much water used on this ranch during these months as Mr. Durkee took from the river the pre-existing condition that was false and misleading.

The reason given was that, the S. A. V. I. Co. being practically out of debt and determined to enter upon the long-talked development of water up the river, the A. U. W. Co. must join it and assist in any work undertaken. FOR BE FOREVER SHUT OUT." This reason is a most preposterous one, and should not have been given in sober arnest by Mr. Fay, although I unstand why it is put forward now. The present purpose is evidently to and an excuse for the part the A. U. 7. Co. took in a purchase, which some of the stockholders condemn, and saddle all the blame, if blame there be, upon the S. A. V. I. Co. Without stopping to register my approval of such an unmanly purpose, I will proceed at once to show why the reason assigned is a preposterous one. About twenty-five years ago on the advice of the Supreme Court the two companies entered into an agreement to divide the water of the Santa Ana river equally between them. Three years ago, when each company was preparing to develop water on its own hook and watching its neighbor with jealous eyes, counsel was taken to the ownership of the water so developed. The attorneys advised that each company had an equal right to the subterranean as well as to the surface flow of the stream, and that the two boards had better come to an understanding before they got into complications over the matter. The original stipulations could not be found, so a new agreement was made, executed and recorded, to the effect that the water of the Santa Ana river, surface and sub-surface, would be equally divided; that the expense of all joint development would be borne equally by the companies—provided that if either company undertook any development alone it should be allowed the entire proceeds of the work until such a time as the other company paid half the expenses, when the proceeds must be equally divided; and that the two companies would jointly defend their rights against all comers. From this synopsis of the agreement, which is a formal affair and has the binding force of law between the two companies, it is seen that neither company could in any possible manner "be forever shut out" of any of its rights in the river by the other. In fact the agreement gives the conservative company the advantage of waiting until results are ascertained; then if it deems "We had practical demonstration during the summer months of the value to the company in one respect of the Durkee ranch. Had there been as much water used on this ranch during these months as Mr. Durkee took from the river the previous summer, in addition to that which the Fullers diverted, there would have been little if any water left for the two companies. Being in possession of this property, abundance of water was used upon it in the spring and its use discontinued later, and the thousand inches turned into the river for use below. It has been truthfully said by Attorney Keech, 'the Durkee water saved the day for us the past summer.'" To further show the folly of this hue and cry against one of the most progressive steps ever taken in behalf of the irrigators of Orange county, I will again remind the readers of the Gazette that the Durkee ranch belongs to the two water companies, $40,000 having already been paid by them on its purchase price, and that some of the stockholders of these companies are simply trying to depreciate their own property. In all probability the Philippines will never be given up notwithstanding the great humaballooe of the antis; but if Sherwood can persuade his company to throw up the Durkee ranch, our company will bid it in and apply to the courts for judgment in equity. Then there will be no further difficulty in finding 1000 inches of water "which goes with the ranch" and which Judges Chapman and Hutton say can be used on our home places—provided we own both land to which the water belongs and that upon which it is used. Respectfully, S. Armor. More Clubs. District Attorney Williams has been making an investigation of reported violations of the new prohibition ordinance at Fullerton and ascertainting whether Mr. Lymburner's club is complying strictly with the State law. Intoxicating liquors are sold day and night, and it is believed Williams will file a charge or two at an early date. Jensen & Eubanks have decided to file articles of incorporation for clubs in the old Oil Exchange saloon, and also in the Fullerton Hotel building. The proprietor of the Hotel Reception has been advised by his attorney not to incorporate as a club, as the legality of the State club law will probably be passed upon by the Supreme Court soon. Members of the clubs can get anything to drink they desire at any time in the clubroom; and also, so the boys say, treat their motion was disposed of by granting the same in part and denying said motion as to other matters sought to be stricken out. The defendant's main contention upon the demurrier to the first cause of action was that plaintiffs, fearing that duke that he had been passed, and inquire if his host was anybody. "Yes," replied the ad must be equally divided; and that the two companies would jointly defend their rights against all comers. From this synopsis of the agreement, which is a formal affair and has the binding force of law between the two companies, it is seen that neither company could in any possible manner "be forever shut out" of any of its rights in the river by the other. In fact the agreement gives the conservative company the advantage of waiting until results are ascertained; then if it deems these results worth the expense incurred, it can demand its share on payment of its share of the expense. Under such conditions, to charge Mr. Fay and his associates with joining in the purchase of the Durkee ranch, because they felt constrained to do so for fear of losing their rights in the river, is to charge them either with ignorance of the agreement under which they were operating or with duplicity in openly advocating a measure of which they did hot approve at heart. Either horn of the delimma is an unmerited insult to those men; therefore I say the reason put forward by Mr. Sherwood in the name of Mr. Fay is a preposterous one. The attempt to transfer the responsibility of the A. U. W. Co. for its share in the purchase of the Durkee ranch to the S. A. V. I. Co. is made on the assumption that the purchase was a bad investment; but such is not the case. There has not been a better investment made in water and water rights in Southern California within the past two years. Few purchases were ever made with the care and painstaking investigation that was devoted to this one; and so far as known every member of both boards of directors was thoroughly convinced that the purchase was a wise one to make for the companies. It is true some opposition has developed among the stockholders; but that does not prove the purchase to be worthless. Much has Liberty Club. Articles of incorporation have been filed with the county clerk by the Liberty club of Fullerton. The names of the directors are as follows: George B. Croner, John F. Hiltcher, August Hiltcher, Herman Luedwig and L. E. Meyers. The purposes for which the corporation is formed are to encourage, cultivate and develop social, friendly and benevolent feelings among, and to furnish entertainment, amusement recreation and refreshment for the members of said corporation, and to provide appropriate and adequate accommodations and facilities for carrying out the said purposes for which the corporation is formed. The corporation is to exist for term of fifty years. It is said Fullerton will shortly have three or four other clubs of a similar character, in all of which liquid refreshments will be served. Berries at $1 a Quart. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—California strawberries, the first of the season from the coast, are here. A shipment arrived yesterday, totally eclipsing Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi berries, bringing $1 per quart. The berries arrived in such condition and sold for such a high price that marketers will gladly welcome all that come. A million and a half quarts was the total market here last year, and the quality was poor. This year the earliest arrivals from the south indicate the quality is not improved, but California's fruit is so choice that if shippers can get more for leaders in the market, the season will be promising and the prices be kept high. Amended complaint asked for a perpetual injunction restraining the collection of taxes upon two grounds: First—That the district had not been properly organized, and Second—That the officers had not followed the statute in levying the assessment. The motion was disposed of by granting the same in part and denying said motion as to other matter sought to be stricken out. The defendant's main contention upon the demurrer to the first cause of action was that plaintiffs, four taxpayers of the district, had no legal capacity to maintain said action; that the same could only be instituted by or with the authority of the attorney-general of the state. Authorities were cited sustaining this contention, and Judge Ballard expressed himself as satisfied upon that point. The contention of the defendants upon the same cause of action was that same did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, since no sale had occurred and no deed was about to be issued which would cast a cloud upon the plaintiffs title. Authorities were produced from our Supreme Court, sustaining this contention, and plaintiffs attorneys cited none in this state to the contrary. Defendants asked that the demurrer to both causes of action be sustained without leave to amend. Judge Ballard thought this must be done, but at the earnest solicitation of plaintiffs' attorneys the court allowed them ten days to produce any authorities bearing upon the point, with leave to defendants to reply to same within ten days, if they thought necessary to do so. This is virtually the end of the case. Sunset Limited Leaves Los Angeles for New Orleans and East every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7:45 a.m. until further notice.

JSI-St The Prince and the Captain. The admiral commanding the British Mediterranean squadron some 20 years ago, writes a correspondent, gave a dinner to the captains of the fleet at Malta. By 6:45 most of the captains had reached the flagship, been received on the deck by the admiral and ushered below. Next the Duke of Edinburgh arrived. The admiral received him, and, keeping him in conversation, continued to pice the deck. All subsequent arrivals were duly ushered below to the sailoon, but still the admiral kept the duke on deck. At last it occurred to the duke that the dinner hour had been passed, and he ventured to inquire if his host was waiting for anybody. "Yes," replied the admiral, "I am ANAHEIM BARBER SHOP Newly furnished and renovated throughout. Elegant new FORGELAIN BATH TUB. Hot and cold baths at all hours. SHAVING - 10 CENTS.

Many of the large red ants are slaveholders, and, oddly enough, their slaves are invariably black, much as is the case with the human race. When slaves are desired by a colony of ants, a regular army of invasion is formed, and skirmishers and scouts are sent on ahead to discover a nest of black ants. This having been found, the warrior ants—insects quite different from the ordinary workers, with powerful jaws—set out to invade their neighbor's territory and carry away the eggs and pupae to their own nests. A fierce battle ensues, but the invading ants are always victorious. On returning to their own colony the young of their defeated foe are taken into their nests and carefully treated until they arrive at maturity, when they become the willing bondsmen of the conquerors of their parents, doing all the hardest work of the community, even to the length of feeding their captors. The latter, however, is not entirely a needless humiliation to subject them to, as some species of slaveholding ants are incapable of feeding themselves and would die of starvation in the midst of plenty were it not for their slaves.—Kansas City Independent. Travel to California. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—With the advent of the cold weather that usually grips Chicago toward the end of January and hangs on for six weeks or more, fortunate folks of the fashionable world are departing for winter climes. The Florida coast claims some, but far the greater portion are heading for the "glorious climate of California." Passenger agents of the California lines report that travel on their finest trains is extraordinarily heavy, and the reservations of accommodations are daily more numerous. Traffic officials of the Rock Island and the Santa Fe roads say the rush of home seekers to the Southwest at reduced rates, inaugurated early in the year, has never been so great as it is now. Regular trains had to be cut into two and even three sections. Some of these had double-headers, and were composed of as many as fourteen coaches. This exceeds anything in home seekers' traffic since it was opened in 1893. The Rock Island has never handled traffic as it is now doing. SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
