AN EASTERN PAPERS VIEWS
Sufficient Funds Received to Push
the Salt Lake & Eastern to
Park City-General.

1t was stated on frst-class authority
to HERALD reporter yesterday that
the balance OF the money needed to
push the Salt Lake & Eastern to its
terminus at Park City, had
been secured, and that the
work will BE- pushed at once. Those
who were doubtful OF the outcome of
the enterprise may now content them
selves with the assurance. that the road
will go. 1t is also stated that some
little difficulty has been experienced in
getting engineers enough to do the
levelling necessary in finishing up the
grade. This has made it necessary for
number Of the men to lie idle in the
canyon, and Will be quite a hindrance
to the completion of the grade between
the mouth of the canyon and Hardy's
TRAVEL is very good.

THERE were rumors yesterday of an
injunction being brought to bear upon
the Salt Lake IL Eastern people. 1t ap-
pears they are following the old grade
made some years ago, and since used as
a county road. To this the county

ming solid trains, splendidly equipped,

JOHN W. You've, q son of the late
Brigham Young. Is busily engaged in
building railroad between Salt Lake
City and Park City, the most important
mining camp in the Territory. The
great Ontario mine is located there
Five hundred graders are now at work
on the road. The Union Pacific has
branch road to Park City and now hauls
all the ore from there. It is the pre-
vsiling impression among railroad men
that the Union Pacific will crowd
Young's road to the wall. Young may
haul ore to the Salt Lake smelters for
81 per ton and yet the Union Pacific
could charge only So to Denver and
beat him, because the Denver smelters
can pay higher price for ore on &C
count of the low price of coke in Col
orado. Young has plenty of capital
back of him and may bring the Union
Pacific to time.-Ra iIluay Register.
ALL ticket agents take pride in hav-
ing handsome case, with the tickets
so systematically arranged according
to cities and forms that they can put
their hands on the one called for at
moments notice. 1t is pardonable hy-
pocrisy to want the case to always ap-
pear full to the spectator, and that
there should be no vacant hooks. The
Delaware, Lsckawanna & Western
road has got out very neat form to
use as filler" It has the same gen.
ersl stamp as other tickets and only
differs in the printing. The destination
marked on it is ''Squedunk," and it is
reached by the STONY Hollow Rail-
road" via the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad. There
is town on the line of
the railroad called Stony Hollow,
in Ulster County, but the rails of the
Stony Hollow Railroad are yet to be
laid Stamped on the ticket are the
expressions Form N. G. l." and "Not
good for one frst-class passage" The
ticket is of an orange color, and makes
very presenta5le appearance on the
hooks, which would otherwise be empty.
They have never been Offer ed for sale,
but importunate friends OF the agents,
who ask for passes to some quiet sum-
mer resort. have been fitted out and
known to get as far as the depot in
Hoboken at an early hour in the Morn
ming. Such persons never ask for passes
