pal topic Of interest to people In this
section at the present time Is the con-
tinued delay OF the Eastern mails, this
being the fifth day since any letters or
papers have been received from the
great East, owing to the snow block
ade on the Union Pacific Railroad.
Whether this difficulty will continue
more than q day or two longer remains
to be seen. The Salt Lake Herald Of
Wednesday says : "The condition Of
the Union Pacific IL now q matter OF
great public interest. The company
took every precaution In advance, to
prevent delays, that experience could
suggest, and the officers and men have
worked most energetically, but the
trains are still delayed. We received
n private dispatch last night, which
announced that the train due on Mon-
day night had not arrived at Ogden.
and that the train due last night had
not been heard from. The Union Pa
clfc Company had advised the Utah
Central Company not to receive any
freight for the present, destined for
points east Of Evanston. At q still
later hour we learned that 1t Is doubt
full il the Union Pacific will send out 4
train this morning from Ogden"
