The Oregon Short Line special TO
meet the troops viii leave here at 9:45.
and will return to Salt Lake as soon
as the passengers have had a chance
to see their friends. The low rate of 81
for the round trip will doubtless cause
a large party to go up.
There will be three sections of the
Sixteenth infantry pass through Salt
Lake Saturday, comprising about 200
men and twenty-five officers, over the
Rio Grande Western. They arrived at
Pueblo yesterday, and will get in early
Saturday morning. Assistant General
Passenger Agent Heintz telegraphed for
a list of the officers yesterday, but had
received no answer last night. The
Rio Grande Western may decide to give
a very low rate to Ogden for all who
desire to go up with the troops, but
has not yet reached a decision as to
this.
