10 Further Gu, IN Utah.
so SAY TIE RAILWAY OFFICIALS.
Tie Rate 10 Salt Lake Common Points
Lower than 10 small Towns
Excursion North.

Late last evening n telegram was
received stating that on July 10 tho
Union Pacific would institute another
cut In rates to Idaho and Montana
poinls, leaving Salt Lake, Ogden and
points TO spanish Fork where they
were on June q. THIS announcement
was interpreted TO mean that Salt
Lake and Ogden would be again die
eliminated against ~ formerly, aud
lose even the slight favor given IN the
June y reduction, made during the
shot Line receiyeuhlp agitation.
General Freight Agent Muurov, Of
tho Union Pacific, was In town 10.
day aud declared that no cut rate a.
reported hal been decided upon or
oven considered. There had been a
cut In Idaho ami Montana rates ne
they affected intermediate points, but
these were made the Iame a. CAchp
Valley rates, aud were not down to
the Salt Lake basis.
1.-THE announcement that points
Il NNAh" shH FNhAh VI KY AlAN
same freight rates rs are given 10 Utah
common point" said Mr.. Munroe, sis
an entire mistake. There has been ne
such rate issued. The Union Pacific
made u reduction OF ffoights recently,
by which Utah common points, that
In between Ogden and Spanish Fork,
/ were placed on the sAms basis As
Butte, Montana. A reduction, not 10
large, was Also made to points
north Of Ogden In Utah,
aud this later action IL mere
| ly an extension OF that northern rate
to Idaho anu Montana local points. Il
II merely an adjustment TO MAKE all
points IN harmony.
"rneto has been a double reduction,
In which Utah common points ate
| given 4 decided advantage, On the
reduction 10 Logan And points north
OF Ogden, the sl.s5 rate Ia the basis OF
tatiil; while 10 Salt Like and other
common points the 81 IS rate governs.
That gives advantages n follows to
points between Ogden and Spanish
FORK; Fret class, n lower rate by 20
cents; second c,ass, 10 osnts; third
Chats, 3 cents, fourth, fiilh, A, ami Is,
7 cents, class 4 o csuIs; ID ~ cent?;
| anu r. % Ctults
"rhis 10 n better rate than hiss
ever been given here tince 1857.
There II no discrimination against
salt Lake Rnd Ogden; on the contrary
they are gwen the advantage 10 which
they atc entitled ~ the natural dis
tributing points for this part OF the
country. The rates south TO Frisco and
west ON the Garfield line arc graded,
based on the additional local rates.
The sum OF II all In that by the recent
teductlOus, now being adjusted TO sll
| points, there was double cut, by
which Salt Lake, Ogden, and points 10
spanish Fork received a heavier TO-
duction than did other places within
their territory"
GenssAl Freight Agent Hahn,
OF tno Rio drands Western was also
seen, aud stated that there had
been no further cut that he could see
than that which had been In force
even since the the Rio drando West
efn took action and brought their usm.
| p0tltor 10 common terms after tho last
reduction. He regarded the new
| change announced AS merely an adj
| justment Of rates to local points In
conformity with the general order Of .
