UC3Q C00Cfdl, Will GO TO Denver
soon in compliance with a request
from Commissioner Daniels, of the
Colorado Pool Association. II is
supposed Mr.. Cope's visit Is relative
to Utah passenger affairs. He will
trobaby go to Omaha before re
turning.
Delays to the D. & r. g. have
been from snow, AM on Thursday
the west.bound train was eighteen
hours late, but they got through on
time Saturday, making the run from
! Provo to Salt Lake In one hour and
twenty minutes. Trains on the
Union Pacific have also been de-
lsyed by washouts.
These cars are q great improve
ment on the Pullman car i'm many
respects, the ventilation especially
being worked by the most perfect
system yet Known. So complete
are they in this respect that no
matter how or from which direction
air enters the cars, it is immedi-
ately forced tn the ceiling, and air
coming through ventilators becomes
filtered before entering. The bertbs
in these cas- are made cross Ways Of
the cars, and this makes riding
much easier, a one is not 40 easily
disturbed in rounding curves and
the head is not on a decline in as
cending grades.
This has perhaps been the mo st
severe season experienced by the
railroads. No sooner was the trouble
from snow over, when heavy thaws
and transforms flooded the tracks
on all the roads in the Territory
superintendent Sharp went south
on the Utah Central last Tuesday,
and the train on which he was re
turning Thursday morning ran into
a bsd washout about eighteen miles
south of Juah, ditching several cars
and otherwise doing damage. This
wreck was not cleared until Satur-
day evening, when trains resumed
running. The management Of the
Horn Silver mine, having anticipated
son ething of this natare, hal pre-.
pared for 1T and filled their switches
lat Frapcklyn with ore, and no
trouble was experienced by them.
Superintendent Sharp is expected
back this morning.
