ment of our esteemed evening con-
tenn. 10 the contrary notwithstsnd>
ing.
The Utah Central will adopt the
check system Of paying its employ
ees, and will probably inaugurate it
next pay day. This plan is quite
advantageous to the paymaster, but
will greatly inconvenience the men
down the road, who will have to do
some lively rustliug to get their
checks csshed.
The Utah Central will send 8
special train to Ogden after the
Mapleson operate performance
next Thursday evening, and the
Danver & Rio Grande will run q
special to Ogden after the Abbott
performances, provided they receive
guarantee that they will get fifty
passengers.
PERSONALS.
Mr.. Mark 8. Severance. general
agent of the Central Pacific, is on an
extended trip through Nevada.
Mr.. @. ID. Hobbs has been appoin-
ted purchasing agent of the Denver
& Rio CIR nde in place OF Dir. A. B.
Gamer, who resigns.
Mr.. F. &. McConnsll, general
agent of the freight department OF
the Union Pacific, left for the Wood
River district on Friday morning.
It is now officially announced that
Mr.. P. P. Shelby, general freight
agent OF the Union Pacific, succeeds
Mr.. Vining as freight traffic mana
ger, and Mr.. Munroe, assistant
freight agent, succeeds Mr.. Shelby.
Mr.. Munroe's successor lie not yet

UNION PACIFIC.
]. w. Morse. general passenger
agent Of this road, announces that, by
order OF the commissioner OF the
Transcontinental Association, the
circular issued August Sd, concern
ing free transportation between
Denver and Leadville, will cease to
be in effect February 10th. The
same authority orders discontinuanoe
on same date of free tickets from
Ogden to Salt Lake City and return
to holders OF overland tickets.
Through tickets to Ogden and west
thereof, reading via Omaha, will con-
tinue to be good via Denver Junction
and Denver, az heretofore, going west
via Cheyenne, but rot via Cheyenne
to Denver and back to Cheyenne.
THE POOL BUSINESS.
In this city and in Ogden the pool
| inspectors are settled down to work
and everything seems to be moving
along satisfactory. By careful OBJ
server it ia estimated that about 20
per cent. of the pooled freight is com.
ing over the Union Pacific, and so
per cent. over the Denver & Rio
Grande. Notwithstanding that the
west bound freight is to be equally
divided. yet both companies have
their soliciting and contracting agents
on the street pulling hard to induce
shippers to have their freight marked
and consigned via "our line." This
ia probably done to secure high per
cent.ln the pool when futuie arrapge>
ments are under consideration.
TROUBLES BREWING.
Il now seems that our serenity in
freight affairs is not yet assured, ow-
ing to much dissatisfaction having
arisen between the Union Pacific and
the Northwestern and Wabash lines,
the latter claiming that the Union
Pacific is discriminating against them
in favor of tho Rock Island and st.
Paul roads. The understanding OF
the parties to the tripartite agreement
was that the Union Pacific should d.
vice its business equally between the
four roads. Complaints are at once
to be fled with the commissioner and
il after fully inveatigati the matter
complained of is not remedied, the
NORTH western and Wabash will with
draw rom the alliance.
