Don't be impatient. Draughtsmsn are
working Gay aud night on the plans and
ali other arrangements for the commence
ment of construction work ara being
ushed with all possible speed. You may
rest assured that there will be no unnec-
essary delay"
The foregoing is the reply Of Union
Pacific Chief Engineer Bogue to a query
as to how soon active work on the shops
would be inaugurated. Mr.. Bogue was
in the city a few minutes last evening en-
route to Omaha, having been perempto-
rily summoned to headquarters for a con.
sultation on matters connected with the
Cheyenne shops. He will return to this
city in three or four days and remain a
considerable time.
CHEYENNE MEN N MATERIAL.
Assistant General Manager Cumming
and Ex-Governor Warren were in Mr..
BOgue's car during the halt of the east
bound train here. The president OF the
board of trade talked shop a little and
presented the chief engineer with some
specimens OF Horse creek building stone.
Mr.. Bogue said that it was fine looking
stone and inquired if there were any good
contractors in Cheyenne. Mr.. Warren
replied that Magic City architects and
builders were fully competent to construct
any building or w~orksneeded by the COM
pany. MIR. Boguc intimated hat they
would not be overlooked.
CONTRACTING.
1t is not generally known that notwith-
standing the connection OF the Union Pa
ciic with the government the corporation
has the authority to make contracts with
whom it chooses and in such manner as
best pleases its officials. There was no
advertising for bids for work to be per-
formed on the magnificent Cheyenne
depot.
As THE LEADER stated yesterday actual
work on the extensive shops and general
supply depot will be commenced prior to
March l..
ELL N DICKINSON.
An Omaha paper remarks that the fact
that Mr.. c. s. Mellen will be general
traffic manager of the Union Pacific in a
few days is not yet confirmed by the off
Gals, but is generally understood. Mr..
Dickinson's appointment to the Office of
assistant general manager is also believed
to be but matter of a few days.
NEW FREIGHT RATES.
A revised freight rate schedule has
taken effect west of the Missouri. The
rates are advanced about Is per cent on
all products and commodities. Glass l is
advanced from 2.05 per hundred to 81. so;
class 2 from 81. so to 81. Is; class 3 from
$I.55 to 81. IS; class 4 from 81. 80 to
$l.45; class 5 from S1.l5 to 81. 25, and
class A from $I.O6 to S1.1O. No change
is made in the rates on class G, B. ID and
l. freights. The old rate was inaugurated
last September, when the Manitoba and
Northern Pacific were making a fight for
transcontinental traffic. All the north
ern lines will be effected by the new
rates.
NOTES.
Assistant Manager Cumming is en-
route to Salt Lake to-day.
The Union Pacific is constantly re-
ceiving new engines at Omaha.
Superintendent Barr will reach the
city in a day or two.
The time table rumors in circulation out
number the stations on the line.
Every road In Nebraska is disguised
with that state on account of the anti
railway tendency of legislation.
THE LEADER learns that Vice Presi
dent Holcomb is heartily in favor of ex-
tending the Cheyenne & Northern.
