Butte Miner: General Manager W.
H Bancroft and General Traffic Man
ager S. w. Eccles of the Oregon Short
Line came up from Salt Lake yesterday
in their privte car, and leave tonight
over the Northern Pacific for st. Paul,
where they viii meet General Traffic
Manager ]. NJ. Hannaford of the North
ern Pacific General Traffic Manager b.
Campbell of the Q. r. & n. and Vice
President Newman and Freight franc
Manager Clark of the Great Northern.
This viii be the first conference be-
tween the Short Line officials ana the
executive officers of connecting lines
since their road was reorganized, and
there are a number of subjects which
will come up for discussion. Switching
charges in Butte, Anaconda and Hell
ena will be talked over, and q definite
understanding will be reached as to
the manner in which the joint interests
in Montana of the roads represented
will be handled. Rates to Montana
common points will be discussed IN a
general way. but it is not ANTICIPATED
that there Will be any changes in that
direction.
Mr.. Eccles, who possesses full share
of that geniality which seems to be
characteristic of all of the Short Line
officials, was seen last evening by a
Miner reporter, TO whom he talked en-
fertainingly about his road and the
railway situation in general. Bust
ness on the Short Line" he said, is
the heaviest that has ever been known,
and while a portion of the increase
can be traced to the prosperity Of the
country through which it runs, great
deal of it must be attributed to the
opening of the Ogden gateway, which
has put $4,000 miles of new road TO
work in the interest of the northwest
don't expect the gateway VIII ever be
closed again, for the Short Line has
shown that it is abundantly able to
take care of itself, and it is today the
most profitable north and south line
in the west if not in all America. Even
If the Union Pacific should again Sc
cure control Of the road, l doubt very
much if the bars at Ogden would be
replaced. The day is rapidly approach
ing. il. indeed. it is not already here
when all roads viii want all Of the
business they can get from all of theil
connections. All of the large systems
are now taking business from and Civ
ing it to all roads that bring it to then
and haul it away.
I'VE have laid 10000 tons of new stee
rails this year, 5000 tons east and the

Falling Off in the Tourist Business
Last Summer

Chicago, Ncv. 13-It is now definitely
settled that there will be no'southWest-
ern traffic association. The executive
officers of the Chicago roads interested
in the business have refused to sign the
agreement, and unless they do SO it is
out of the question for the +other roads
to think of forming an association that
will be sufficiently powerful to main
tain rates.
This action of the executive officers is
taken on account of the refusal of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas to agree to
the articles covering the redemption of
tickets.
The joint agent of the western lines
on Colorado business has submitted his
report of the tourist business done dur
ing the summer of 1897. The traffic
shows a large falling off, as compared
with the preceding summer, the de-
crease being close to 80 per cent. The
agent shows, however, that the de-
crease is due in the most part to the
low rates made for the Christian En-
deavor in San Francisco. The actual
number of tourists increased. he says,
over the preceding year, save that a
larger percentage Of them went through
to the coast instead Of stopping off in
Colorado.

ENDS IN RIOT.
Football as 1t Is Played by Denver
High Schools.

Denver, Nov 13.-The football game
between the teams of the East Denver
and West Denver High schools today
ended in a riot in which all the players
and couple of hundred of the spec
tators took part. That no one was
seriously injured was due to the fact
that a dozen policemen were sent in
haste to the scene and dispersed the
mobs
The game had been distinguished
from the start by smuggling, several
players being disabled and when fraud
was charged against the East Denver
team in making a touchdown, a free
fight was at once started among the
players, the spectators quickly taking
a hand.
When the police arrived the East
Denver had barricaded themselves in
their dressing room and the rest of the
mob was making desperate efforts to
break in.

San Francisco, Nov. ia great deal

cal committee have been in conference
with the following railroad men regard
ing the extent Of traffic: John Sebas-
tan, general passenger agent c. R. 1.
& P; S. K. Hooper, general passenger
agent Denver & Rio Grande, and F. y.
Wadleigh, general passenger agent
Rio Grande Western. These officials
have been making tour of the east
and northwest, with the view of study
ing the transportation problem in con-
nection with the Alaskan business,
which they now believe will be the
most important traffic question con-
fronting the railroads during the COM
ing year. The railroad men say that
they calculate that the number of peo-
pie coming to the coast between now
and next summer will be in excess OF
100000.

Mr.. Eccles set at rest a great deal of
speculation by stating in connection
with the settlement of the troubles
with the Union Pacific that the Short
Line has never objected, and does not
now object. TO exchanging business
with the Union Pacific at Ogden and
allowing a side trip to Salt Lake, as
formerly, instead of making the inter
change at Granger, which necessitates
change of cars at Pocatello by Union
Pacific passengers at , O'Clock in the
morning When the agreement in set
tlement OF the troubles was reached,
the Union Pacific, for some reason that
Mr. EccleS says he has never been able
to comprehend, insisted on the inser
ton of a clause that all business shall
be interchanged at Granger. The Short
Line, of course, entered no objection, as
it receives the same rates for the haul
from Granger to PocatellO as from Og-
den to Pocatello. The Union PacificS
reasons for declining to continue the
old arrangement are known only to
the officers of that road and the strange
stand it has taken is profound mys-
terry to every one else. There is no
question but that it loses business
every day by its refusal to ticket pas
sengers through to Salt Lake and Og-
den. Mr.. Eccles said that so far as the
Short Line was concerned, it was on
an equal footing with the Rio
Grande Western and the Union Pa
cific, and that it was playing no IA
vorites.
He stated that two new SO-ton en-
gines for the Short Line reached Chi
