THINGS QuETER THAN EVER,
Plenty OF Applications for
Work Received.
New Circular Issued by the Santa
Fe Freight Department.
The Ogden Routs Nes ".
strikers Taking Things Easy.
No New Developments
Rsportsd.

Business about the railroad oesc.,
80 far as freight is concerned il piokipv
up. although passenger travel Is light.
There are still quite mum Der Of person,
here who have been detained by the tie
up and will get out during the course Of
the week. Shipment Of provisions into
the territories 10 still good, and some
potatoes are being sent east.
The railroad men are agreed ON one
thing, and that 10 that business will be
dull for some time to come. II had been
presumed that this summer would have
been dull enough, and this has become
an assured fact on account OF the strike.
Applications for work are still being
rc,ived by the different companies.
Mr.. Bsamsr of the Santa Fe said that
last Sunday he had discontinued rsceiv-
ing applications. SO, for the last two
daye, had not been so overrun. There
are plenty of men to run the trains, al
though OF course, under the new sched-
ule, as many crews are not needed "a
formerly. The majority of the men now
working do not belong to the strikers,
and Mr.. Bsamer said that 90 long az
these men gave satisfaction they would
be kept at work.
Among the former employees the
greatest good humor prevails. They sp.
pear to be taking life easy, and have
left all their troubles behind. A police
man can talk with the greatest impunity
to any of them, as there is not the
slightest danger of them trying TO toss
their troubles off on him.
Many applications arc received by
Master Mechanic Sheedy and by the
general Offices st the Arcade depot.
The situation ae regards the opening
OF the various roads is unchanged from
yesterday. The Union Pacific has not
been cleared this side OF Ogden, but the
Santa Fe and Sunset routes are running
east all right.
Regarding the circular OF yesterday to
agents in which they were told not to
receive freight for points ON the Pacific
'ystem OF the Southern Pacific, the fol.
owing has been issued by the Southern
California railway:
