At o'clock yesterday morning, the

officials, together with local representa-
tives Oh the road, went out to Garfield

pleasant and the run was enjoyed by
all. The old resort looked it's best. but
it was rather cold for bathing, and af-
ter a stay of thirty minutes, the party
returned.
1t is said there is little doubt but
that Garfield will be opened this sea-
son, and that the opening will not be
delayed until July l.
THE CONFERENCE.
Although Mr.. Carr of the reorganiza-
ton committee of the Oregon Short
Line would say nothing, there is be-
lieved to be reason for saying that an
agreement is virtually concluded, by
which the Utah & Pacific will have
running arrangements from the old
fort square south over the line of the
old Utah Southern, or Union PACING,
to point to be decided upon later
A meeting of both sides was held yes
terday afternoon at the church of1ces
at which were present George Q. Can
non, Abraham H. Cannon, Colonel John
T. Donnellan, Colonel Nephi w. Clay
ton, Mr.. Allen, representing Myer Bros,
of ST. Louis, for the Utah & Pacific,
Samuel Carr, chairman of the reorgan-
| ization committee, H. G. Nichols, coun-
sci for the committee and Mr.. G. JET
ferson Coolidge representing the reor-
ganization people, S. H. H. Clark, pres
ident and managing receiver for the
Union Pacific.
The Utah & Pacific people made the
proposition for the running arrange
ment which was taken under advise
ment."
Mr. Carr said last evening: 1--WE had
very pleasant meeting and the off1c-
! ials of the Utah & Pacific made a prop
osition for running arrangements with
US, although I am not at liberty to give
| you the details at this time. The same
was taken under advisement and will
be considered at a very early date; just
as soon as it can be reached. That is
all 1 can say in relation to the matter
at this time.
COLONEL CLAYTON'S VIEWS.
Colonel Clayton was also seen and
made g statement similar in character.
1--WE made the proposition and it will
be considered. although l do not care
to go into the details yet; not until
we know something definite When we
accomplish a result 1 shall be glad to
/ allow you to have the particulars"
There never was anything built so
| tight, however, that the x ray of
newspaper enterprise could not get on
the inside. From another source, one
which cannot be disputed on the ground
of inaccuracy, it is gathered that at the
session, which was of course private,
| Mr.. Carr expressed himself as being
very favorable to the plan. He is said
| to look al the matter in the light OF
a good business proposition and believes
| that with southern line to the coast,
coming into the city on the rails of
! the Oregon Short Line & Utah North
! ern, the future of the latter system is
assured. That the business of the
south will assist his line beyond meas
ure and will in no wise interfere with
any arrangement in progress.
PRESIDENT CLARK FAVORS 1T.
Mr.. Clark, of the Union Pacific, is
said to look upon the proposition with
an eye of gladness. inasmuch as the
building and operating Of a line to Los
Angeles means that direct commune
cation with the seaboard will be estab-
lished for his road and that by a short
| Pacific company's line. Both gentle
men are said to have expressed them
! selves as being in a favorable mood
at the meeting and when it was over
the party broke up in the best of hu-
NOR
The Boston party will go to Saltair to-
day on a trip to see the pavilion, and
leave for the east this evening.
The Utah Midland people have made
M Il 10 Nv
Clark, looking toward the securing of
running rights over the Utah e. Neva-
da, from this city to a point near the
terminus this side of Stockton. Mr..
Carr said last evening that no action
had been taken on this matter at all,
but that it would be considered along
with the balance of the measures which
have been submitted.
If this plan of the Utah Midland is
accepted, it will be the means of the
widening of the road, as the latter COM
pany cannot do anything on a narrow
guage line. There viii doubtless be
no announcements made in relation to
the actions asked for by either party
until after the committee has returned
to Boston and have held a consultation
CROPS IN NEBRASKA.
General Manager Dickinson, of the
Union Pacific. said last evening thai
unless wonderful change takes place
there will be the greatest crop in Kan
sas and Nebraska this year ever known
in the history of the two states. The
outlook is most promising and if thu
weather continues as is usual there the
corn crop will be most immense one
Mr.. Dickinson expects the carrying
trade of his road in the two states t.
be very heavy this year.
