Railway Age Thinks the Rio Grande
Western Would Do Well to Ex-

Refund Its Indebtedness-Othe
Railway News.

1t was learned yesterday that the
& Ogden railroads are uniting on pro-
Ject that will directly unite Ogden with
the Lagoon, and that will thus enable
the residents of northern Utah to enjoy
the pleasures of day at Bambergers
pretty resort without having to change
cars in transit. The plan now is to put
in a switch or spur connecting the two
roads at point about a mile south of
Pennington, where their lines run side
by side and only about . yards apart.
1t will then be possible to run excursion
trains from Ogden over the Short Line
to that point and then Side-track the
cars and run them to the Lagoon over
the Salt Lake e Ogden road. The heavy
engines of the big road will not run to
Lagoon, but arrangements will be made
to have a Salt Lake & Ogden engine
pick them up and run them to the La
coon and at night return them to the
point of transfer and again Airn them
over to the Short Line.
1t is reported on good authority that
e. A. Vail. c. E., surveyor for the Salt
Lake & Ogden road, went up from Salt
Lake on Saturday last and, in company
with representative of the Short Line,
went over the ground. Whether or not
a survey was actually made was not
stated, but if it was not, that work will
undoubtedly be done Immediately, and
in a week or two trains will in all prob
ability be running through from Ogden
to Lagoon. The new arrangement will
undoubtedly add very largely to the
patronage of the resort, as Ogden Deo-
pie feel the need of some nearby place
for an outing

ogden City people and their famous

or more, and in the evening another
trainload of pleasure seekers from the
north arrived to swell the numbers

sold for the excursion, and a glance
evening gave the impression that about
that number of persons were there.
They We're an unusually happy crowd,
too. They seemed to be filled with but
one desire, ard that desire was to make
the day pleasant for each other. Those
who were present can testify that this
end was accomplished.
In addition to the ogden crowds,
there were many excursionists from
Salt Lake, people who came to enjoy
the day with their friends from the
north.

auspices the excursion was given, as

NO ENCAMPMENT.
NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS
ARE NOW DESPONDENT.
Thought They Would Get Wesk's
Outing, But It Seems Not-Major
Lund Appoints His Staff.

Up to yesterday the members of the
National Guard were entitled to be-
lieve the five companies now remaining
in the organization would be given an
eneampment of instruction this sum-
mer. 1t was announced there were
funds enough left in the treasury for
this purpose and that the boys could
have a weeks practice at soldering.
But last night information was con-
Veyed to the effect that no encamp-
ment could be had, although the cheer
ing intelligence came with it that per-
haps all the COMPANIES could be taken
one day to Garfield. or Saltair, as the
powers that be might select.
Of course an outing like this would
be a holiday, but at the same time
there would be no military benefit de-
rived from the proceeding, and know
ing this, the officers, or some of them
at least, have indicated a disposition
to call on the governor and request
that an encampment be held.
At the close of the enca pment last
summer, it was announced by the ad-
jutant general that there were funds
enough left in the treasury for holding
another encampment this summer. pro-
vided the officers would not ask for
their compensation, and it was then
partially agreed among the officers that
they would serve during the tour this
summer without pay and trust to the
legislature at the session this winter
TO appropriate money enough for the
liquidating of this amount, whatever
the same might be.
Officers of the guard presume this
money is still in the treasury and with
the two batteries away and only five
companies of infantry left, and the
signal corps, there will be enough Of
the same to warrant the holding of an
encampment and paying all the ex
penses.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
Meeting In Chicago On the Rate
Question.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The interstate COM
merce commission met in this city to-
Gay and discussed the question of the
alleged disturbance in passenger rates
by the Canadian Pacific Railway COM
lany. All the members of the commits
sion We're present, Martin Knapp pre-
siding. The United States circuit court
&c ON. where the commission met, was
filled by railway representatives, from
several states, who gave evidence on
which the commission Will base its
conclusions.
During the afternoon a lively tilt was
occasioned by the proposal of the
American roads to introduce evidence
against the Canadian Pacific in a letter
written by Sir William Van Horn, pres
ident of the Canadian Pacific, in which
the writer laid down the proposition
that Canadians meant TO keep Canada
for themselves, and that the Interests
of the Canadian Pacific demanded that
American roads should be excluded
The letter was admitted as evidence
after a hard fight. During the after
noon General Passenger Agent Eustis,
of the Burlington road, was on the
stand replying to questions relating to
the decentralization of rates to Alaska.
He was in the witness chair when ar
adjournment was taken, and will be
there when the hearing is resumed to-
morrow. No evidence of Importance
was obtained from him.

AGE FAVoRS 1T.
Says It's Glad the Western Will Ex-
tend West.

Speaking of the report which was
sent out from Denver concerning an al
legged extension of the Rio Grande
Western from this city to the coast
the Railway Age takes the matter quite
seriously and says whether plans for
the extension are under serious consid-
Grafton or not, there is sound sense be-
hind the arguments advanced in favor
of it. The paper maintains that the
Western is in good shape to branch out,
the increase in the gross earnings of
the company for the past six months
being S31S,4S0. For the year from July,
1897 the increase in gross earnings was
sS43 1898, or about SO per cent, and in net
earnings, $426,104 The road earns,
gross, about 5000 per mile, and 81, $50
net.
The Age proceeds to quote an eastern
paper which, speaking of new lines,
calls attention to the country lying be-
tween the Union Pacific on the north
and the Santa Fe on the south, and es-
pecially to that section penetrated by
the Western, and concludes by saying:
Altogether. Philippines or no Philip
pines, the Rio Grande Western is in a
promising condition, and the possibili-
ties of transcontinental expansion are
tempting"
