WILL MANDAMUS SHORT LINE
TRACKS MUST BE BROUGHT TO
STREET GRADE.
Conclusion Reached By the City
Council Committee-south Temple
Street Tracks Must Be Lowered.

Acting upon a legal opinion rendered by
City ATTORNEY Hall, the committee on
streets last evening concluded to recon-
mend to the city council that mandamus
proceedings be commenced against the
Oregon Short Line Railroad company to
compel it 10 lower its tracks to the es-
tabllShed street grade on South Temple
street from Sixth West street to. the Jor-
dan river Three times has the COM
pany been ordered to bring the tracks
down TO the street grade, and has prom
ised to do the work, but as often has it
subsequently refused. Now the council,
in answer 10 the DleadingS of residents
along South Temple street, is determined
to have a test of supremacy with the
railroad officials. While considering this
matter, the committee had before it a
protest from Oregon Short Line en-
ployees against the change of grade but
Councilman Allen stated his investiga-
lions warranted him in declaring the pro-
testants signed the paper on the misap-
Drehension that it was a petition for the
grading and graveling of the street.
THE DANGEROUS CROSSINGS.
The city attorneys opinion covered a,
wider range than a mere reference to the
South Temple street tracks. 1t advised
the committee that it is the duty of rail-
road companies at all times to keep street
convenience Of team and pedestrian
travel. and if such cannot be done be-
cause the railroad tracks are upon street
grade, the city council has power to COM
pei the companies to either raise or lower
their tracks at crossings, or to enforce
the erection and maintenance of protect
ing fences, gates or viaducts at places
where the number of tracks and fire.
quency of trains passing or switching
render crossings extremely dangerous.
Further along, Attorney Halls opinion
states that the railroad companies have
the right and can be compelled to con-
denim abutting property and to compen-
safe the owners for damages resulting
from the erection of Viaducts, and that
no recourse can be had upon the NUM-
cipality on that account.
1t is also within the power of the city
according 10 its legal advisers views. to
establish street grades and safe CROSSINGS
of tracks. either by ordinance or man
damus proceedings. By the enactment of
an ordinance, the city council may de-
clare tracks a nuisance when they are
maintained contrary to the established
street grade or crossing, and upon fail
IRE Of the railroad officials TO comply
with such ordinance, they may be fined
and imprisoned
The committee rose with the under
standing that at its next meeting legal
will be recommended to the
city council looking to action that will
compel the Oregon Short Line to pro-
vide adequate protection for footmen and
drivers of vehicles at the North Temple
and First North street crossings.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure For Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, Is Not an Argu
ment, and Facts Are Stub
born Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases, so obstinate to cure that
| people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radi-
cal, permanent cure for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never be-
ing humbugged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that
| many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so relia-
bic and universally used as Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
clnes for the reason that they are not
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made Of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestlVe ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act power
fully on any organ, but they cure indi-
gestion on the common sense plan of

cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles, because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in'the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food. That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison, as it creates gas,
acidity, headaches, palpitation of the
heart, loss of flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name

Bottom Fell Out of Hawaii's Great

San Francisco, April 13.-Passengers
on the steamer City of Rio de Janeiro,
from Honolulu, state that on March %
the bottom of the great volcano fell
out, followed by great clouds of dust
and smoke. Some alarm was, felt by
the guests of the Volcano house, occa-
stoned by the noise and the frequent
landslides which followed, but some of
the guests became treasured and start
ed to investigate the phenomenon.
A hole $50 feet in diameter showed
the extent of the cave-in. All attempts
to locate the bottom of the crater were

Contains Judge Colborn's Description
of Yellowstone Park.

Judge Colborn, who has been at work
on a folder for the Short Line, has COM
pleted his task and the book is in the
hands of the printers at Chicago. Mr..
Burley having placed the contract
while east a week ago. The new folder
is to be a description of the beauties of
the Yellowstone National park and will
be profusely illustrated. The judge is
an adept at descriptive writing and his
write-up of the great resort will take
the tourist through the park and will
point out beauties unseen to a less
gifted eye than he possesses. The travel
to the park is growing year by year
and this season bids fair to be a record
breaker. The natural inlet to this
American wonderland is by the way of
Idaho Falls and Market Lake on the
Idaho division of the Short Line, hence
the action Of Mr.. Burley in getting out
the folder to advertise the route.

PASSENGER MEN MEET.
Important Conferences Concerning
Summer Excursion Rates.


General Passenger Agent Lomax of
the Union Pacific, accompanied by r.
+. A Smith, his private secretary, and
j. NJ. Scott Of Omaha; c. a. Carnes,
assistant general passenger agent Of
the Chicago d Northwestern, and C.
w Cummings of Chicago, reached the
city last evening. having been delayed
by the washout on the Union Pacific in
Wyoming. The object of the presence
OF 50 many high passenger officials in
this city is 10 held a conference con-
corning passenger rate matters which
affect all the lines represented. a
meeting was called last evening al the
hnutsford hotel to go into the subject,
but owing To a social function at the
Alta club, which was attended by Mr..
LomaX, nothing was settled, and the
matter went over till this morning.
General Passenger Agent Goodman of
the Southern Pacific, who has been in
the city for couple Of days, endeavored
to give out the impression that nothing
of Importance was on foot, and the
other officials were. as usual, reticent
as TO the object OF the conference. Mr..
Burley denied having anything to do
with the meeting, and Mr. Wadleigh
stated that it was too early to state
what it was hoped the conference
would accomplish. From words dropped
by one of the Interested parties, il was
gathered that the meeting had TO do
with the summer excursion rates to
the west, notably the forthcoming
meeting of the National Educational
association at Los Angeles. The sum-
mer tourist to the coast naturally pre-
fers TO take one line in going and an
other in returning, which throws the
business TO more than one line. The
present conference in Salt Lake is evil

ness between the lines.
The Union Pacific and the North
western. together with the Rio Grande,
have been standing out against the di-
vision demenGed by the Southern Pa
cific which latter, it is stated, has de-
nanded 50 per cent Of the rate IN
handling the y. z. a. business. The
Santa Re is standing in with the
Southern Pacific in this demand, which
places the latter in a position to dictate
terms TO the other lines. 1t IS TO
straighten out this matter that this
meeting is called

brought up: that connected with the
