LOCAL LINES BIG DAY.
Many Hundred Passengers Through
Utah and the West.

The anticipated rush to Pacific coast
points, following the announcement of
unusual low rates from the Missouri
river, bore down on local roads yester-
day, and its unprecedented proportions
quite overwhelmed passenger officials
with delight. Something like 1000
through passengers were handled by
roads centering here and in Ogden dur
ing the day. Six hundred and ninety
three were delivered to the Short Line
by connecting lines, about % per cent
of them being DunkardS and Quakers
bound for points in Idaho, with a view
Of settling permanently. This portion
of the wholesale emigration is "a we'll
deserved return for the good work of
the Short Line passenger department
in sending out their folders on Utah
and Idaho. Others Of the passengers
who went through were seeking homes
in Oregon and Washington, while a
great many others had taken advantage
of the rate, mainly for the purpose of
sight seeing. The Rio Grande Western
handled. in all, about 500 people, half
OF whom We're turned over to the Short
Line. and the remainder to the South
ern Pacific at Ogden. The Union Pa
cific turned over 276 to the Southern
Pacific all California passengers, and
q great many more who selected the
Short Line The rush will no doubt
continue throughout next week, and
will be still greater when the sale of
tickets begnis for the National Educa-
tional associations meeting at Los An
geles next month.
The rate upon which passengers for
north Pacific coast points are now trav-
cling is So from the Missouri river,
second-class. The rate to California is
$3.50. Both are daily rates, and will
continue to be such as long as the
northern lines refuse to withdraw the
rate they We're the first to put into eff
feet. Competing lines were not slow to
meet the big cut, and all roads headed
this way are now upon an equal footing
so far as this business is concerned. A
committee has been appointed to wait
upon the northern lines with a view of
restoring the former rate.
The Associated Press dispatch of yes
terday, stating that the Canadian Pa
cffic had, following the lead of the
Great Northern" cut the second class
passenger rate from st. Louis to the
Pacific coast to $3.50, was read with
no little uneasiness among passenger
men. Inquiry of eastern agents, how
ever, brought out the fact that it is
but runor and has not been verified
The report is given little credence.

Short Line yesterday made the an
nouncesnert that a permanent reduc-
ton in passenger rates in Montana
from to 4 cents a mile had been made,
effective at once. The reduction in To-
cal rates was inaugurated by the
Northern Pacific, and was followed by
the Great Northern and the Butte, Ana
conda & Pacific. The people in the
southern part of the state have for a
long time been exciting their influence
to obtain a similar reduction from the
Short Line, and the announcements
made yesterday is probably owing in a
great measure to those efforts.

praying that Joseph M. Bidwell be ap-
pointed guardian of the estate and per-

transacting business or looking after
her property interests and that she is
now confined in the lakewood SANTA

legged that Mrs. Hamilton owns real es-
tate in this city to the amount of $4,000
or $4,000 and also has money in the
Deseret National Bank, the Deseret
Savings bank and loans on mortgages.
This property, it is stated, is imperilled
by reason of Mrs. Hamilton not being
in a condition to look after it, hence the
prayer for the appointment of Mr.. Bid
We'll as guardian.

Postage to Be Reduced to One Cent

The enormous Increase in the num-
Der of letters carried in the United
States mails makes it certain that the
rate of postage must eventually be re-
duced to / cent an ounce. The presi-
dent who succeeds in getting such a
measure through congress will hold a
high place in the esteem of the people
but no higher than the esteem in which
everybody holds Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. This medicine has an I'M
equaled record in reducing the sickness
of mankind. 1t gets at the starting
point of the disease by acting upon the
stomach direct, helping that important
organ in its duty of digesting food. It
makes good appetites, allays nervous
ness. stimulates the kidneys and makes
