Manti Matters.
Especial Correspondence.)


Manti April IA party of friends
paid their respects on Monday night, by
invitation, at the home of James E. Hog
gan to congratulate him on attaining his
tifty-ninth birthday. A very pleasant
tine was spent.
1t IS reported that Jens ]. Hansen, who
left here for Mexico about month ago
intends returning to his home here in
Manti not being satisfied with the con-
ditionS under which he is to work.
Lewis Anderson was called to Fountain
Green on account of the feeble state of
his fathers health. The old gentleman
is 76 years of age.
The change of time on the S. P. v.
railway to the old time schedule is giving
more satisfaction.
High winds and frosty nights are the
rule just now. The first make it dis
agreeable for pedestrians and Travellers
and the second may injure the fruit
blossoms which are beginning TO appear
The peach crop is likely to be d deficient
one this year but the apple crop, to
judge by the blossoms appearing, will be
a beautiful one.
Farmers are apprehensiYe that unless
a good fall of rain comes, much of the
wheat sown will not come through, as
there is a hard crust on the ground in
many places since last rainfall.
David NJ. Crawford, whose sheep have
been wintered in the northeastern part
of the state writes he has never seen the
herd in better condition.
David Shand goes to Thistle to look
after his sheep which are located there.

SANTA FF's STEAMERS.
New Line Between San Francisco and
the Orient.

Chicago, April 27.-The Chronicle
says: Officers of the Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad have about de-
cided to put on a line of trans-Pacific
steamers to ply between San Francisco
and the Orient. The company is now
planning to open its new line into the
metropolis Of the coast on July l. and
it is connection with this road that the
new boat line is to be inaugurated.
Several months ago the Santa Fe
opened a transPacific route from San
Diego, and the service has proved sue
cessful. Instead of adding more steam
ers to the San Diego service, it has been
thought best to put on a second line to
run from San Francisco. The new line
viii in no way interfere with the one
already established. the second one be-
ing auxiliary to the first.
One of the Pacific steamship COM
panies has awarded contracts to the
Cramps for the construction of four
new passenger and freight steamers of
5000 tons capacity each, and two or all
Of these vessels may be used by the
Santa Fe. Just how the new line will
be operated has not yet been deter
mined 1t is said that the Santa Fe
company may buy outright one or more
of the steamers now building. If this
is not done they may be run by the
railroad under a lease.
when the Santa Fe'S new rail line
is finished, it will be the first and only
company to run through trains over its
own tracks between Chicago and San
Francisco"

SHORT LINE BONDS.
Spectators Are Advised to Look Into
Them


Them.
A feature of the bond market in New
York on April Is, according to the
World, was the demand for the income
bonds of the Oregon Short Line rail-
road, series A and Is. 1t may we'll re-
pay the speculative investor TO look
into these bonds little carefully, and
if he will do so he will discover a situa-
ton fairly without parallel in the
recent history of the market and one
which may soon be productive of some
important speculative movements. The
Oregon Short Line railroad in its reor-
sanization issued, in addition to its con-
solidated mortgage 5s, now practically
d first mortgage, the two income bonds
above named. The a. issue is enti-
tied by its term to per cent dividends
each year if earned, and has paid that
amount.
The "B" issue provides that the
bonds shall receive, if. earned, up to
per cent interest each year from the
earnings of the railroad for three years,
ana per cent thereafter. The "B"
bonds, however, are secured addition
ally by deposit of $16.2S1, 400 of the COM
mon stock of the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company, the dividends on
which go to make up the interest on
the 81 bonds to 5 per cent in any
year In the present fiscal year $162, Sl4,
or about IL per cent, was received by
the Short Line company in the form
Of an oregon Navigation dividend and
is held for account by the ''B" bonds.
This viii have to be distributed in
October next, and it is certain that the
tull per cent from railroad income
VIII also become available.

of the Union Pacific Mr. Culross will
be succeeded on May l by Trainmaster
John w. Hay of Green River. Mr.. Gull
ross has not stated as yet what he viii
do. but he has been offered several good
positions elsewhere, and he is not Wor-
rying as to the future.
John Mack of Green River. who has
been acting chief train dispatcher at
this point since Mr. Stewart resigned
several days ago, viii be made the reg
ular chief
Train Dispatcher William Mahoney,
who was discharged a few weeks ago
Lookout, will, it is announced, be re-
instated in the near future.
The track which was damaged quite
badly west of here during the recent
floods, has been repaired. in many
places where the earth under the track
was washed away, stone arches have
been built.
The railroad contractors on the new
cut-offs west OF Laramie have been
having considerable trouble during the
past week on account of several strikes
among the men. The laborers claimed
they were not receiving enough wages,
and were not receiving proper treat
ment at the hands of the contractors,
and consequently struck. 1t seems that
the Fitzpatrick brothers had anticipated
these disturbances and had engaged a
reserve force of men in Lincoln and
Omaha, and these were rushed out to
the grading camps at once so that OPP
erationS were not retarded for long.
