Why the Union Pacific VII, Not
Change the Time.

The latest subject of gossip in railroad cir
Giles is the refusal of the Union Pacific off,
Gals to make connections at Ogden with the
Southern Pacific second class passenger
train, which, by the new schedule, leaves
this city at 1880 o'clock in the morning and
arrives at Ogden at Z O'Clock in the evening
Pacific time, or o'clock mountain time.
The Union Pacific people still persist in
leaving Ogden one hour and half before
the train referred to arrives and passengers
are thus compelled to stop over in Ogden I'M
til the next morning. Mr.. Hurburt, General
Agent OF the Union Pacific in this city, says
that this break in connections applies only
to the second-class train spoken of above,
and that prompt connection is made by his
line with all other trains arriving over the
Southern Pacific at Ogden. He al so denies
the rumOr that a telegram was received at
his Office announcing that hereafter the
Union Pacific time would be changed out
OF Ogden, by which their second-class train
would leave one hour and half later, thus
connecting promptly with the Z 80 train
from this city.
1t would seem from this that, however
much the travelling public might desire such
change and the immediate connection re-
sultiDg therefrom, the Union Pacific officials
will still adhere 10 their resolve 10 reject the
L
cifc and arrange time-card to suit them
selves. The Union Paciic's refusal to take
Southern Pacific second class passengers
| west Of Ogden on time, or rather to take
them East on the time understood by
the purchasers Of tickets In this city,
comes from an unfortunate quarrel, which
arose at a recent meeting of the Off
GERS of both lines, held recently at Ogden
for the purpose of making up winter
schedule.
The Union Pacific representatives at this
meeting wanted Mr.. Fillmore to increase
the speed OF Southern Pacific trains between
Truckee and Ogden. Mr.. Fillmore promptly
refused to do SO, for the reason that his
passenger trains between these two points
make faster time than the Union Pacific
trains between Ogden and Cheyenne, the
character of the road between the points
mentioned being the same. Very well,
said the Union Pacific to the Southern
Pacific, bring your passengers into Ogien
at such time as may suit your convenience,
but we Shall use our own discretion in
taking them out. Ii you cannot make better
time between Truckee and Ogden and get
your passengers there for our 6 80 train, we
shall 90 off and leave them" This they
have been doing since the new timetable
went into effect, and, while passengers COM
plain. they put to the Southern Pacific the
