A hop grower lost his fortune and his $75,000 factory was foreclosed for $2,000, while a sheep grower abandoned wool for preserves and lost all. Dozens of central fruit districts saw jam factories shut as owners became insolvent.

San Diego Mayor predicts link between Salt Lake and Los Angeles railroads
San Diego Mayor William Carlson, visiting San Francisco, says southern California and Salt Lake City will soon be connected by a railroad. He cites the Nevada Southern line from a Atlantic & Pacific northwest point to Manuel as a potential link, noting 100 miles graded and 250 miles from Frisco to Manuel. Carlson argues it would require about 3 million dollars to connect Frisco and Manuel and mentions an ongoing stockholder dispute with Nevada Southern. He welcomes a Supreme Court decision favorable to Donahue railroad president A W Foster as strengthening his leverage.
