The Salt Lake jobberS Will not hold
a meeting today for the purpose of
laying down the law to the railroads
neither will they do SO tomorrow.
The truth is, such meeting will not
be pulled off until the latter part of
the month, or more likely, the fore
part of September.
The esteemed evening paper some
what luridly portrays things that are
not, and cites the Jobbing associa-
tion in its wrath CD as being out for
a boycott on Southern Pacific Steam
ship lines, etc.
speaking by the card as events
will surely prove, The Herald will
say that the JObbers' association will,
ali in good time, call d meeting for
the purpose OF taking up matters that
need adjustment. At that meeting
there viii be present Traffic Manager
Monroe, of the Union Pacific, Traffic
Manager Babcock, of the Rio Grande
Western, and their assistants in the
local field. Here it may be said that
both Mr.. Monroe and Nh. Babcock
have already signiied a willingness
to attend the meeting.
An invitation will also be extended
TO the Southern Pacific representative
obtainable information in this hour
is, that a representative will attend
Then and there matters Will be
discussed, and the jobbers, upon
presentation of strong facts showing
Just how Salt Lake is Disseminated
against in favor of Ogden and Grand
Junction, as well as some other points,
have every reason to expect a settle
ment on a basis just and equitable.

now the Rio Grande Western and
Union Pacific folks are comforting
upon the advisability of coming to-
gether and arranging the rates that
must necessarily be put in before
things are moving along upon just
and stable basis in alignment with
the shipping interests of Salt Lake.
Tariff sheets cannot be gotten out
in a day, as a general thing, and
when once out and posted. it takes a
little time for either recall or re
vision, and the jobbing fraternity
understand all this.
In this connection it may be said
that the present Southern Pacific rate
to Ogden is based on S512 per cent. of
the river haul, and if not Identical
with the Rio Grande Western rates
that were put in recently and then
withdrawn. are nearly so.
The Southern Pacific company has
in the past drawn too much revenue
from Salt Lake ITO now operate
strictly against it, and the jobbers
will act upon the superstition that the
company will meet them in spirit
of fairness. This is by the card, and
upon it's face is stamped the seal of
prudence, discretion, and business
tact all combined.
There isn't the slightest danger of
the discrimination being continued.
The Union Pacific and Rio Grande
Western took the matter up last week,
and the statement that the Southern
Pacific will not yield in the matter is
untrue. That that road is veritable
octupus. all understand; but there are
some things that it cannot accom-
plish. To maintain its unfair Ogden
tariff is one of those things.

which purported to be ''roast" of Mr..

the very able and efficient manner in
which he prevented the attempted es-

institution on The hill, some few days
ago. Now, suppose Mr.. Stark had fol-

Argus. and notified the convicts that
the cook had "Deached' and had given
the whole plot away. what would have
been the result? Why. the convicts
would have denied the cooks story.
would very likely have been prepared
to have proven that the cook was at
the bottom of the whole affair and
then il would have been almost i'm
possible for the warden to have de-

outfit. AS it was, by allowing their
plans TO be carried out to perfection,
as they Ohe convicts) thought, the
warden found out for himself just who
was implica ted in the murderous plot.
The Argus says that it has not any
thing against Mr.. Stark and would not
do him an injury, and in the next
paragraph it says: eve dor't like the
calibre of the man. and then pro-

that the Argus for some time past has

Government Director COOmbs Rea-
ches San Francisco.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Con
gresham William j. Coombs. of New
York, one of the government directors
of the Union Pacific railroad, is in the
city.
He is on a tour of inspection of the
Union Pacific system for the purpose
of obtaining sufficient information to
enable him to agree with the four
other government directors upon some
feasible plan for a fair settlement of
the roads Indebtedness to the govern
ment. In speaking of the prospects of
the road he said:
with good management the Union
Pacific ought to experience great pros
perfty. but there are some serious
mistakes which will have TO be recti-
fled before it can be placed on a sound
financial footing. This oVeThc ndi1g and
overcapitalization have shown their
evil effects The road has got 20 get
down to a business basis before it can
be operated with profit and in man
ner that will permit the payment of its
obligations.
u am greatly encouraged on account
of the improvement in business and
equally so on account of the settlement
of the dispute over the receiVership Of
the Oregon Short Line. That matter is
still in the courts. but you can rest as
sured that the Oregon Short Line will
never be taken from the Union Pacific
system If the Oregon Short Line were
to BE placed under a separate receiver
ship it would be a serious blunder for
both roads and fatal to the lines in
middle states. IT M0uro divert large
streams of through husireeS to the
lines north and south. and Utah
would be left on a side track instead
of on a main line
Mr.. Coombs will leave for Portland

yachts raced over a twenty-one mile
equiiaterai triangular course outside of

by Mr. \. Z. DreXel. The course
was one which gave the contestants

superiority
tWhen the Defender and Vigilant
were jockying for position to cross the
line, the big yachts came pretty close
together at enc time. Both were on
the starboard tack, so there was no
question as to which had the right of
way, excepting by the rule that the
overhauling vessel should yield. In
this case the Defender was the over
hauler, but the Nigilant, as she did off
Sandy Hook, eased off and avoided
