Railway Notes.

The Denver City Gable Railway COM
pany has now concluded TO iight all its
cars by the Pintsch gas system.
General Superintendent Dyer, of the
western division of the Santa Fe, has
moved his headquarters from Colorado
Springs to Pueblo.
Patrons of the Union Pacific will take
notice that their time table changes to-
! day. \ correct schedule appears on
page II of The Herald.
The railway world especially will be
pleased TO learn that General Agent
kenworthy, of the Santa Fe, is rapidly
improving after his sick spell.
The master car builders in convention
this month appointed q committee Il
( draft specifications for the coming freight
cart Will have $1,000 pounds capacity.
On account of the Scandinavian choir
excursion to Garfield tomorrow, the
Union Pacific will run an extra train,
leaving here at Z p. m. and returning,
leave Garfield at 1880 p. m.
Through a geographical error in the
announcement of the change of time on
the Union Pacific, effective today, it was
stated that the train for Ogden would
leave at $50 D. m. when it should have
read 400 p. m.
1t is among the probabilities that the
near future will witness additional help
installed in the Gulf office in this city, as
the northern field will furnish more bust
ness than the general agent can well get
away with, and keep up with increased
Office work
H. p. Anewalt, chief clerk in the Santa
e freight department al Kansas City,
returns TO that great river point this
morning after few days delightful visit
in this city. The Santa Fe local people
carried him off to the lake last evening,
and he expressed himself as amazed and
enraptured to d degree that will warrant
d speedy return.
Captain Tibbitts, who was for so many
Years travelling passenger and immigra-
ton agent for the Denver & Rio Grande,
and one Of the oldest passenger agents in
the country, has retired owing to age and
1l-health. 1t is currently believed that
the Denver & Rio Grande has placed his
name on the pension list in recognition of
long and faithful service.
Mr.. Theodore Meyer of St Louis, who
has already heavy interests in Utah and
who represents the st. Louis capitalists
who are considering the plan OF building
TO the coast, visited Saltair last evening
in company with Governor West, Hon.
George q. Cannon, Colonel n. w. Clay
ton, Abram II. Cannon, Hon. c. w. Pen
rose, Hon. W. S. Mccormick, Mayor
Baskin, Simon Bamberger, General X. w.
Young, H. Is. ClaWSOn, j. E. DOoly, Judge
c. w. Bennett, J. II. Bacon, Hon F. S.
Richards, Hon. j. l.. RaWlins, George NJ.
Cannon, James Jack and several others,
nearly all being accompanied by their
ladies. Lunch was served a $50, and
after spending pleasant evening at the
beautiful resort, the party returned at
1899.
The San Francisco & San Joaquin val
ley railroad people are not idle, and there
may soon be developments of a pleasing
and startling nature. Chief Engineer
Starry has three field parties out. The di-
rectors are letting contracts on construc-
lion right along, and one Stockton man
has given d contract for 800, 600 ties. That
alone means more than 100 miles of road.
The trend of operations is strictly south
ward and on to Tulare. The Baldwin
Locomotive works have been given an
order for three engines. and a consign-
ment of rails from the east to San Fran
cisco is already on the way. Taken al
together this may mean something in
which Salt Lakers are vitality interested,
as in these latter days OF railroad build
ing it is not unusual TO work from both
ends in a quiet way, and without any
blare of trumpets to arouse opposing
forces
