THE HAMPTON DIVORCE.
Mrs. Hampton's Petition For Ali
monY and DEFENDANTS Answer.

Mrs. Hampton's Petition For Ali
mony and Defendants Answer.
Judge Hiles heard the usual Satur-
day gist of divorce cases yesterday
which came I'D before him in several
forms.
The suit of Gertrude Y. Hampton
against William G. Hampton, which
was filed few weeks ago, came up on
motion for temporary alimony. The
plaintiffs seeks divorce on the grounds
of habitual drunkenness, failure to sup
port and cruelty. When the case was
called the defendants attorney, Mr.. J.
II. Moyle, was not in court, and on the
application of Attorney w. V. Jones
for the plaintiff, an order was made
for the defendant to pay alimony in
the sum Of $40 month. Immediately
afterwards Mr.. Moyle came in, and on
his motion, the order was set aside, and
motion.
Mr. Moyle thereupon filed an afff-
davit, in which the defendant denied
the allegations, failure to support and
cruelty.
The defendant also set out that he
was a clerk receiving a salary of $50 a
month, and that he provided his wife
and child with a comfortable home,
and that last month, he gave Mrs.
Hampton S44 out Of the 500 He says
that he has no income from his prop
erty, and declares his Willingness to
support his family to the best of his
ability

BOOMING SAN FRANCISCO.
Alaska Trade Committee Car In Salt
Lake.

The Pullman car San Felipe, which
is being used by the Alaska trade
committee of san Francisco on a trip
from the Golden Gate TO New York
City, arrived in the city yesterday af-
ternoon from Ogden via the Rio Grande
Western.
The personnel of the party is Gov
ernor James Sheakley and wife, D. NJ.
Carmen, who is secretary of the COM
mittee; T. c. Wills and wife, II. Gray,
Charles Jenkins, Charles G. Taylor and
wife, F. E: Sheakley, a son of Govern
or Shealley; L. r. Herr and c. H. Hol-
brook.
Mr.. Taylor will have charge of the
New York office
The object Of the trip is the interest
ing of the people in the matter of doing
business in San Francisco, before go
ing to Alaska. In plain language they
say theirs is the only town in which
to outfit. That it is the gateway to
Alaska; that the route from there is the
safest, cheapest and most comfortable.
For the purpose of disseminating in
formation concerning the route, the
committee has established a bureau of
information in the city of San Fran
cisco. and has an exhibit there which is
free to all corners. Information can be
obtained there free of cost. and there
will be no pains spared to make the
seeker after information perfectly at
home.
Like everything which California en-
cages in, this business is of the best
nature. The car is one of the most
handsome in the Pullman service, and
is far and away ahead of those which
run on the lines from east to west, this
side of the river.
The exhibit is small, but ample for all
purposes. Samples of the dessicated
vegetables which are taken along into
the interior are on exhibition, together
with articles of clothing which will be
needed. There are furs and boots and
other wearing apparel, the entire col
lection conveying an adequate idea,
even to a tenderfoot, of what is needed
to go into the frozen regions of the
north.
The printed matter is fine. One may
read small pamphlet, which is given
away, and obtain more information
than from dozens of the ordinary rail-
road folders.
In addition to the advertising of the
advantages of the city of San Fran
cisco, the committee will boom the min
ing semi-centennial, which begins the
oath of next month.
The car will leave here this afternoon
and will go to Cheyenne via Ogden,
thence down to Denver and to Lead
vile, stopping at Pueblo and Colorado
Springs, returning to be taken in
charge by the Union Pacific at Denver
again, to make q fast run to Omaha,
and from there to Chicago. From Chi
cago on to New York, taking in the
principal cities of the east, returning
here in about 80 days-maybe longer.

WHO Will BE PRESIDENTS
Speculation AS to the Head of the
Union Pacific.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The Tribune says:
The opinion is gaining ground in rail-
way and financial circles that neither
Z. X. Winter nor Horace 9. Burt viii
be the president Of the Union Pacific.
The man now mentioned for the posi-
ton is Charles AIellen, president OF
the Southern Pacific.
Z. W. Winter was slated it was stat
ed. for the presidency Of the Union
Pacific after Mr.. Clark resigned on
account of Ill health. Mr.. Winter has
ali the qualifications for the position
and for many years had been the
trusted lieutenant OF President Hughltt
OF the Northwestern. who, it is under
stood VIII be chairman of the direc-
tors OF the Union Pacific. Mr.. Winter,
ii is said did moi feel inclined TO take
the positiCc, for personal reasons.
Mt Eurt's name was then suggested
but objection. il is said, was raised to
him on account of his being vice presi-
dent and assistant 20 the president of
the Northwestern. With President
Bughitt as chairman of the directory
and Mr. Burt as president Of the Union
Pacific, it is argued, it would be look
ed upon 2s an auxiliary of the North
western and this was not desired as the
Union Pacific gets some of its bust
ness from competitors from the North
western. Fer these reasons, it is said,
President c. s. AIellen, of the Northern
Pacific, was named as the most avail
able man for the presidency OF the re-
organized Union Pacific.
Under ordinary circumstances. the
report that Mr.. Mellen would leave the
Northern Pacific to take the presi-
dency Of the Union Pacific, would be
looked upsn with great suspicion. But
circumstances are such that the report
is generally believed TO have good
foundation.
But there is friction, it is said, be-
tween his friends and the friends OF
President Lamont. Mr. Lamont
was originally slated for the presiden-
cy He was the choice of J. j. Hill
and his friends who have a large in
terest in the Northern Pacific. But ].
Pierpont Morgan, the head of the
Northern Pacific syndicate, did not
think Mr.. Lamont had the requisite eX-
perieHce. A compromise was effected
and c. S. Mellen was chosen president
and Mr.. Lamont vice-president.
Rumors have lately been current that
Mr.. Lamont would soon succeed Mr..
AIellen as president of the Northern
Pacific and thus strength is given to
those reports that Mr.. Mellen had been
practically agreed upon as the most
suitable man for the presidency of the
Union Pacific. Mr.. Mellen is probably
better qualified for the presidency of
the Union Pacific and knows more

HEAVY SHIPMENTS.
Colorado Profted By the Recent Rate
War.

It is stated that, owing to the end
Of the rate war in Colorado, the mer-
chants there are shipping more stuff
into Denver and other points than ever
before known in the history of the
state. Not less than 200 carloads of
stuff is billed TO arrive in Denver be-
fore the end of the year. Over 1000
carload lots are billed to come into the
state within the coming two weeks
One house alone has ordered so cars.
All stuff billed before midnight of the
31st viii come through at the reduced
rate.
So low has been the rates that Penn
sylvania has competed with Colorado
in the matter of coke-successfully
too-and coke men in Colorado have
groaned under the burden of COMPETE
ton. It was the only industry which
did not have the long end of the mat
ter.
The rates have not benefited Utah at
all. but Colorado has had all the cream.
The merchants there have rejoiced for
two months now, and are apparently
enjoying a prosperity away beyond our
own.

scheme by which he can make an hon

robbing himself-it must be very en-
barrassing to a man like the deacon.

NO NEWS AS YET.
Rio Grande Western Will Not Take
the q. C. Tomorrow.

Although tomorrow is the day when
the Utah Central was to have been
turned over to the Rio Grande Western
people. at this writing it does not ap-
pear as if the transfer would take place
at that time Nothing has been heard
by officials of the Western of any
change. and from all statements it
would seem as if the transfer was not
contemplated, at this time at least.
Traffic Manager Babcock said yes
terday he had heard nothing of the
change, if any there was to be made,
and added that it was his belief that
if the property was to change hands
he would have been notified in order
to arrange for traffic matters. 1t was
his personal belief that no action
would be taken at this time.
Passenger Agent Wadlelgh was I'M
informed as to anything concerning
the transfer, as were other officials
announcements have been made
from time to time by the other morning
daily that everything was progress
ing" that the Western always kept
It's PROMISES and declarations OF that
sort. which have had no foundation,
in fact General Manager Dodge said
when here a short time ago that he
had nothing to say concerning the
matter other than. his company was
considering the question seriously. 1t
is evident that no understanding has
been arrived at as yet.
The transfer of the road has been a
convenient theme in certain quarters
for some time. Traffic arrangements
have been discussed widening the
gauge has been done enough times to
have built q double-tracked line from
here to Denver, and many other mat
tiers have been stated.
From unofficial sources it is gathered
however that the Western does not
care to take the line at the terms
stated in the option and win wait until
some time next year before taking
definite action, believing the price can
be decreased greatly.
