BOOM IN RAILWAY TRAFFIC
COLONEL CLAYTON SPEAKS OF
EASTERN CONDITIONS.
Congestion of Traffic at Missouri
River Terminals = Threatened
With a Coal Famine.

Colonel N. w. Clayton of the Salt Lake
& Los Angeles railroad has returned from
a weeks visit to Kansas City and other
Missouri river points. He said yesterday
afternoon that the business situation in
the Missouri river valley was more than
satisfactory-it was booming as IL has
never doomed before, and there is a great
er demand for commodities than the mar
ket can supply. All the sidings in the
railroad yards are filled with loaded
freight cars, awaiting shipment to eastern
points. and the manufacturers and COM
mission merchants are seriously inconve-
nienced by the scarcity of railroad rolling
stock. There is so much demand for the
output of the western states that conges-
ton of traffic has resulted at the Missouri
river terminals. The concerns in the east
are clamoring for their goods, and laying
into the railroads for delaying the for
warding of orders. The most serious in
convenience is the scarcity of coal. The
supply has been almost exhausted. and
railroads and manufacturers alike are
suffering. The coal operators all over the
east and west are complaining that they
cannot get men TO work at any price, and
every day the supply is decreasing. The
colonel thinks there will be coal famine
unless things unforeseen happen between
now and the first of the year. The Union
Pacific officials have had several confer
ences looking towards the establishment
of a cheap rate on corn from Omaha and
other Missouri river points to Wyoming.
this corn to be used for the feeding of
stock during the winter months.

Vidual candidates on both tickets nave

The lethargy may wear off tomorrow
when il comes TO getting out the vote,
but the voters have made up their minds
how they will vote. and they are not like
ly to change much.
The Republicans have a normal maJori-
ty of from seventy-five to 100 IN TINS

party will probably result in the election
of some of the Democratic candidates
on account of this split in the Republican
ranks the Democrats have about an even
chance to elect the mayor. marshal. treas

There is a big element in both parties
that intends TO vote for councilmen VINO

less of politics. and there is another eie-
ment that is afraid If progressive men are
elected the city will be run into debt and
taxes will be raised.
