Burley of the Oregon Short Line re-
turned yesterday from a trip through
the St. Anthony country. While away
they carefully looked over the situation
along the new line and for distance
of forty miles beyond st. Anthony,
with a view to seeing what they could
figure on in the way of freight and pas

When seen yesterday Mr.. Eccles was
enthusiastic over the prospects.
The outlook for that section is most
promising" he said, there is an i'm

idly filling up. The farmers are pros

Contracts Postponed.

Vice President Bancroft and Chief
Engineer O'Melveny of the Oregon
Short Line returned yesterday from a
trip of inspection over the road. When
seen yesterday, MIR. Bancroft stated
that the bids for the construction of
the st. Anthony branch had been re-
ceived, but that the contracts for the
construction of the road could not be
let for several days, because the COM
pany has not yet finished the negotia-
tions for the right-of-way at some
places. He stated that as soon as this
matter is settled up the contracts will
be let.
Mr.. Bancroft will leave this morning
for st. Anthony TO decide as TO the Sc
lection of depot grounds and to look
into other matters of Importance. There
is likely to be a hot fight among the St.
Anthony people before the selection of
depot grounds is made. as there are
practically two towns and both want
the passenger station. II is probable.
however, that south st. Anthony will
be the lucky place.

Sunday Ball In Ogden.

(By Telephone to The Herald)
Ogden, June 29.-John Greenwel of
the Ogden baseball nine, was arrested
tonight, charged with violating an or
dinance of Ogden City by playing base
ball on Sunday, about four weeks ago.
Mr.. Greenwelfs arrest is for the pur-
pose of testing the ordinance and was
brought about by the baseball commit
tee The trial will probably be had to-
morrow morning before Police Justice
Huliniski, and jury trial will be de-
manded. The case will probably be
finished before night, and it may be
that there will be a ball game next
Sunday.
Judge Zane. l.. r. Rogers and num-
Der of other authorities give it as their
opinion that the ordinance will not
stand the test. During the day there
was an endeavor to compromise mat
tiers between the baseball committee
and the city council. Two of those who
voted against Sunday baseball were
willing that the matter should be
dropped and that playing be tacitly
permitted. However, the executive Of
ficers were not willing to take the re-
sponsibility of refusing to enforce the
ordinance, hence the suit

A COAT OF TINY RUFFLES.
Summer Jackets That Are Luxuri-
Gus Addition to the Wardrobe.
New York Journal.)


Unless YOU have added a roof garden
coat or two TO your summer wardrobe,
it is very incomplete indeed. says the
maid of fashion. The roof garden coat
is more ornamental than useful Yet
aside from its beauty it has just s,lt-
ficient warmth about it to make 1t sal
able. 1t varies somewhat in shape, Dut
is generally much like a rather long bo-
Zero with sleeves. II has a high medici
collar and deep rolling revers- Some
times il has rows of stitching all
around the edge. forming border. one
of the prettiest of these little coats
seen at the opening OF one or the rooI
gardens during the week was OF pale
violet silk, shaped like a bolero- The
entire coat was scattered with bow
knots embroidered in mauve silk The
revers were a soft mass Of wee lace
ruffles-and the very high collar was
made unusually becoming by lining
of these little lace Tuffies- Another was
an Oriental looking affair in scarlet and
gold It. too, was shaped like bolero,
but cut in scallopS and the Scallops
heavily embroidered in gold. and this
coat was sleeveless and finished at the
arm hole with scallOpS- 1t was worn
over a black crepe de chine costume.
Silk Jackets entirely a mass of tiny
ruffies were still another of the novel
ties seen on the roof. and some We're
made in light tints of silk, and others
shaded from light to dark One, IN
varying tintS of green, starting with
the faintest leaf shade and blending off
into a deep tint of emerald was ex-
tremely effective. 1t was rounded bo-
Iero. fastening at the corsage with one
ls rye button made of green enamel and
shaped into a lucky clover leaf The
sleeves of this odd little coat were ruff
fled from the shoulder to close to the
knuckleS.
A number of stylish lace jackets were
also in evidence. They were made OF
the heavier Iaces and tit the figure with
tailor-like precision.

AND STILL NO BALL FIELD.
But Something is About to Drop
Shortly, IT'S Said.

The called meeting of baseball enthu
siasts to discuss the Salt Palace COM
pany's offer failed to materialize last
evening, and it seems probable now
that the offer will again be allowed to
go unaccepted. In the meantime the
public is wondering where the numer-
Gus baseball teams in the city are go
ing to play their games in the. future.
One or two leading baseball cranks
are going around with a tantalizingly
mysterious air, and they speak cheer
fully when the question of baseball is
preached, so there is probably some
scheme on foot which will solve the
problem. What that scheme is the pub
lie must wait to learn. 1t viii be made
known within a few days.

VANDERBILT CONSOLIDATION
Plans Maturing For Absorption of

New York, June 29.-The directors of
the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad company will meet tomorrow
to formulate "a proposition to the BOs
ton & Albany stockholders. looking to
a lease of that railroad for a term of
years. The proposition to be drawn up
tomorrow embraces only overtures to
the Boston & Albany. and nothing will
be done at this meeting about drafting
propositions to other lines which are
reported as likely To be absorbed by the
New York Central.
The plans for the absorption of the
Chicago & Northwestern. the Union
Pacific and the Oregon Short Line are
maturing rapidly, it is said, and may
come to a focus almost any time. The
Big Four and the Chesapeake & Ohio
are said to be included in the scheme of
consolidation, and in due time and I'M
