The exclusive announcement in yes
reorganization committee of the Ore
gon Short Line, to extend the system
to Deep Creek when the reorganization
shall have been effected, was the chief
theme of interest in railroad circles
yesterday. All railroad men agreed
that such a thing would be an excel
lent undertaking for the new company
and many asserted that they had no
doubt that it would be accomplished
General Manager Dickinson, of the
Union Pacific, when seen concerning
the project and the investigating trip
which was begun last evening, denied
that such thing was contem plated
and said that his presence in the party
en- route to Deep Creek. had no rail
road significance whatever. Mr.. Dick
inson did not, however, assert that
none of the other gentlemen of the
party were bound ON a mission look
ing TO the building. of a railroad and
he did not deny that they would make
an investigation of the country with a
view to extending the Short Line.
The party left Salt Lake last even
ing by special train for the end of the
Silver City branch. 1t was composed
OF Messrs. Dickinson, S. w. Eccles,
superintendent Bancroft, of the Union
Pacific, Mr.. Markell, manager of hotels,
R. H. Officer, the assayer, F. E. Good
hart. one of the Crismons who are
interested in the Utah and Gadena
mines at Fish Springs. and a repre-
sentative of the Salt Lake & Pacific
railroad, and at the south the party
will be joined by George H. Robinson.
The make up of the party will suggest
whether railroad matters will be upper
most in the minds of some of them, al
though there is no doubt that the
greater portion of the attention of
the gentlemen will be devoted to a
thorough examination into, the mineral
resources of the country.
Readers can put their own construc-
ton on the fact, which was learned
yesterday, that the Salt Lake & Pa
cific company was fully aware of the
proposed expedition and is represented
in the party
GARFIELD BEACH.
Y. A. Markell, manager of hotels for
the Union Pacific system, when seen.
yesterday concerning the opening of
Garfield Beach, said that arrangements
for the opening of the old resort are
be conducted more flourishingiy than
ever this summer. Olson's orchestra
has been contracted for and a list of
excellent attractions will be provided
for
Mr.. Markell was asked concerning the
truth of a report which had gained
| some circulation, to the effect that the
negotiations between the Salt Lake &
Pacific and the owners of the Utah &
ny nYafxy 1F
the line by the former, had progressed
so far that there was prospect that
the property would be taken over in a.
very short time, and that owing to
this fact the resort might not be OPEN
ed after all. Mr.. Markell stated that
it was a fact that the Salt Lake &
Pacific had an option ON the property,
but that the company had not taken
it up as yet. and that until that was
done he would continue to prepare for
the opening with a view to keeping it
open all summer.
I'VE expect to open the 1st of the
MONTH said he, land / know of moth
ing now to interfere with that inten-
| ton. Of course, if the property is sold
before that time the purchasers will
| do as they see fit about opening it, but
if it is not taken over before the LIST
it will certainly open and continue to
rum until it is sold at least, that is,
! throughout the summer
The ball game to be played on the
20th at tine Fort Douglas grounds be
tween a team from the Union Pacific
and another from the Rio Grande
Western offices is creating consider
able interest and will furnish no end of
sport. The teams are made up from
the general offices of the two roads,
principally, and the boys are all train
ing hard in the hope of defeating their
adversaries.
AN along the lines of the two roads
the employees are taking a lively in
terest, and as many as can get away
will be in attendance to root for their
favorttes. Agent PEBBLES of the Union
Pacific at Woods Cross is one of the
enthusiasts and was so afraid of miss
ing the game that he wired in yesterday
to know when lit is to be called.
