An Omaha dlspatch says:
General Manager Kenble, Of the
Union Pacific, was asked by q cores
pondent if there was any truth in the
report that his road proposed build
ing from Frisco, Utah, to a junction
with the Southern Pacific at Mohave.
1--WE are thinking very strongly Of
extending our Utah Central line fur
ther south in order to tap the Phoebe
mining district" said he, "but we
will probably go south of the direct
line from Frisco to Mohave, and the
extension will be very gradual.
don't know exactly how soon work
will commence. President Adams,
who has been making detailed in
spection Of the road, will be back
in about ten days, and wo will then
form definite plans. Our chief ener-
gies, however, will be concentrated in
Oregon and Washington Territory,
and we will make great many miles
of new road there in the next few
years."
General Passenger Agent Lomax
was also seen. He stated that the pol
icy of the road at present was to ex-
tend the lines in Oregon and Wash
ington. "That is grand country"
said he, land, besides, there is no
money for us in trying to oppose the
Southern Pacific Company in Cali

How He Got The Name.

Many years ago when Gov. Samuel
Medary was proprietor of the Ohio
Statesman, S. s. Cox was employed
in an editorial capacity on the pa
per. One evening Cox rushed into
the Office exclaiming:
Governor, have leader to write
for the paper tonight, what shall I
write about?"
"There's a beautiful sunset out
there" replied Medary, laconically.
The next day the Statesman ap-
peared with an ordir2 cry column of
leading matter. A mere ordinary
sunset story was written in way
in which any schoolboy would have
been ashamed, and all Ohio laughed
at this ebullution in the columns of the
Statesman.
Cox was universally known as the
writer, and he was laughed at by
every subscriber. It was then and
there that Sunset" Cox became
household words.
