misses as an absurdity the rumor that
the c. P would cut off Ogden and run
from Wells to Salt Lake City. At the

The officials Of four railroads got
together Thursday morning in Ogden
and held conference on matters per-
tanning to the business of their roads.
1t was a noticeable gathering and
there was intense interest manifested
in the outcome Of the discussion.
There were present at the meeting
representatives Of four big railroads,
the Chicago & Northwestern, the Un-
ion Pacific the Oregon Short Lipe and
the Southern Pacific. The Northwest
ern was represented by J. M. Whit

rrived in Ogden at l:3o and joined
the conference.

S. P. officials arrived from San Fran

Of Superintendent Noble Of the

During the forenoon the railroad
men talked about time. The time be-

all Its details, was gone over and the
gentlemen will endeavor to arrange q
schedule. that will be entirely satisfac-
tory to. the roads interested and to the
general public.
They feel like the present time may
be reduced and will endeavor to come
together on a plan. The matter oi
rates was not discussed and 1t is moi
expected to come up for discussion at
this meeting. 1t is not known whether
the roads will reach an understanding
today or whether the conference will
be carried over for several days, but
as soon as they agree a statement viii
be made public covering the plans
adopted by the meeting.

turning to Manager Fillmore he re-
peated the remark. IL know Salt
Lake has felt bad, being away from the
road, way station. as 1t were, but you
can say that we know nothing what
ever about the proposed cutoff from
Wells to Salt Lake.
There was short conversation rel
alive to the absurdity Of the PROPOSE
ton from a business standpoint. and
thus goes glimmering the faint hope
and big boom of Salt Lake as a rail-
road center. 1t will now be in order
for the Herald to devise some new
scheme for getting the S. P. into Salt
Lake and to find another mysterious
"blue print and another official to
whom orders TO unload may be given.
There Is no doubt but the Herald S

pleasure in assisting In the search.

II was bitter concoction for the
Salt Lake paper to swallow when they
found they could not have the confer
ence held in Salt Lake; but they had
to take their medicine. The Southern
Pacific officials could not be dragged
down to Salt Lake, and Ogden was the
natural place for the U. P. and c. &
N. w. officials to step. so the meeting
was held in Ogden and the Salt Lake
papers will have to get their informa-
ton from this point.
