a strong effort to have the rates be-
tween Australia and Europe re-
duced by the overland route in con.
nection with the Pacific Mail Ste4 M
ship line, to meet rates via the Suez
canal.
Superintendent Arnold of the Og-
den street railway expects to Guns
plete that line from the depot to the
bridge north of Main street and
have two cars running in two weeks,
and will immediately commence
pushing the track in this city from
THE HERALD block to tbs Utah s.
Nevada depot.

Nearly all OF the missionsri
called st the last conference have |
taken their departure, those for the
Eastern AID Northern States and |
Europe going via the Union Pacific.
snd those for the Southern States
taking the scenic route. The Union
Pacific has carried from fifty to

twenty.
According to the Railway Age
the Edgar Thomas S;eel Works, of
Plttsburg, turn out over 200 tons of
steel rails every day. at this rate,
allowing IS pounds per yard, this
one mill alone could produce enough
rails per year to lay ABOUT $500
miles Of track, and this is only one
OF the many mills in the country
mat can WORK the same capacity.
For some reason the Tribune
tailed to notice the Denver & r %
Grande In its locals for two Or three
Gays, owing probably to the formers
publishing an account OF the serious
accident which occurred near
Sallda, On the D. & r. @. last week,

nfteen passengers were more or less
injured; or is it not probable that
