ISAAC TRUMBo ON THE SITUATION.
Isaac T1umbo came in from the west
yesterday morning. It was though
that the object of his visit at the pres
ent time might have something to dc
with the Salt Lake & Los Angeles
movement now being inaugurated
mention of which is made above. The
gentleman was seen last evening. He
said his visit was one of business
merely, and it was in connection
with railway interests. Mr.. Trumbo,
it will be remembered, was one of the
most active OF the movers il the matter
of building q road to the Coast, which
was agitated little over year ago.
| The scheme, however, has been dor
mant so long as to have almost passed
from the mind of the average reader.
Mr.. Trumbo, however, says the project
Is not dead by any means, and that the
company in which he is Interested will
build the road beyond doubt. Reply
ing to the monosyllabic query,
"WhenP ?" he said he could not state for
a certainty, but work would commence
just as soon as the gentlemen who
are now in Europe endeavoring
to raise the necessary ducats
returned 1--WE have ample and full
surveys" he said, land rights OF way
that have cost US many thousands Of
dollars. You may say for me, most
emphaticaily, that the company l am
interested in will build the Salt Lake &
Los Angeles"
1t was learned from another source
that Mr.. Houghton, another of those
int rested in the enterprise inaugurated
about year since, writes from London
that the depreciation in railway
securities during the year has had
somewhat Of dampening effect upon
their efforts to raise money, but that
everything looks bright and promising
now, and he hoped, ere long co be able
to cable the news that sufficient funds
had been raised to build the road.
THE TRINIDAD SALT LAKE.
The certificate of incorporation of

dad, IN Las Animas County, by the

Costllla, Suguache, Gunnison, Mont
| Mesa County on the line between the
State of Colorado and the Territory of
Utah. The term of said company's
charter is fifty years from date. Capt.
tel stock 500 900. The main Office of
the company shall be at Trinidad, with

THE SCHEME OF THE sCALPERs.
In the face of the agreement of the
railroad presidents ordering tariff rate
to be maintained. and right in the teeth
of al agreement among railroad agents
recently entered into at Wichita, the
news comes along the wire to the effect
that certain lines at that point are en-
gagged at this time in a scheme for sup
plying scalpers. 1t is stated that several
lines have placed with scalpers their is
sue of tourist excursion tickets to
southern points. These are issued con-
trary to the agreement, and in a manner
that scalpers at various places can re-
handle by filling i'll spaces purposely
left blank by the selling agent, thus en-
abling the Wichita scaipers to cut rates
to intermediate points by the use of
these tickets. 1t is sta ted that not one
in fifty of the issue OF tickets of this
description can be traced as sale to a
genuine tourist, but they are used for
rate cutting purposes, and they benefit
scslpers working in the interest of GER
tain lines via the Missouri River. TIL,
situation at Wichita is reported tn be
position just taken by the presidents
and the financial hackers of the roads
in New York, some trouble will shortly
fall upon the heads of several officials
in Kansas.
