ST. Paul, Mimi. May 2S.-Representa-
tives of the jobbing interests of the

held today, an adjournment without a
decision being taken at O'Clock. \

j. a. Henley, delegate from Salt Lake
division 1896, Order of Railway Con-
ductors, returned yesterday from the
session of the grand division of the

on the 9Th, and closed on the 18th inst.
Mr.. Henley made a hard fight and
spent several hundred dollars in an
effort to bring the next meeting of the
grand division, in 1901, to Salt Lake
City. He did heroic work in advertis-
ing Salt Lake as the proper place for
the conductors to meet and although
he had the greatest odds against him
he came near capturing one-half the
votes of the convention.
The winning competitor in the race
was st. Paul, which place was selected
on the final vote on the last day of the
convention. The members of the or
der at thaOplace had been pulling for
the prize for some time and were back
ed uD with a purse of 5000.
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the order
passed unanimous vote favoring Salt
Lake.
The conductors voting for Salt Lake
come mostly from the east and south
Mr.. Henley believes the convention of
1903 can be secured for Salt Lake with
little trouble.
An excursion of forty-five conductors
and their families who attended the
convention, will pass through the city
this evening over the r. G.. w. en- route
TO their homes in the New England
states

UTAH CROP BULLETIN,
Frosts and Freezing Temperature In
Various Sections.

Following is a summary of the weekly
crop bulletin issued by Director Murdoch
yesterday:
The temperature has averaged several
degrees below the normal. Frosts and
freezing temperatures occurred over the
state on several dates. The deficiency IN
temperature permitted very little plant
growth. Potatoes seem TO have suffered
most from the froSts: in some localities
corn was injured, and in Weber county
fields of tomato plants were killed. 4
good shower fell over the greater portion
of the state on the evening of the 18th
the extreme northern, eastern and eX-
IRENE southern portions not receiving any
precipitation. Reporters in the southern
districts complain of the continued high
drying, southerly winds. Small grain is
stooling nicely Oats and spring wheat
are backward. but in good condition
Corn and potato planting is practically
completed in a number of the central
counties. Beet thinning is in progress:
the stands are generally good. but in some
localities are only fair. Reports still indi-
cate that the fruit crop was severely
damaged by the freeze of May >, although
one or two reporters state that the dam
age was not so great as thought at first.
The freeze of May 20 killed or seriously
damaged what fruit was left in Carbon
county. Continued warm weather is
much needed by all crops.

Colonel D. c. Dodge, general manager
of the Rio Grande Western, arrived in
Salt Lake yesterday in his private car.
When seen last night, he stated that he
was here looking over he road with a
view to making any improvements he
thought necessary. He expressed him
self as being very well pleased with the
work on the Provo extension. and said
that the work was being pushed, but
that no plans We're being considered
for extending the road beyond Charles
ton.
The road viii go through to Park
City some time, but not at present, :"
he added. When asked about the local
improvements, Colonel Dodge sasd:
I'VE have decided to build the boiler
shop. MIR. Welby is now asking for
bids for its construction. and work will
<begin soon"
Colonel Dodge last night examined
some new cars just turned out of TIE
Salt Lake shops. and seemed to be par
ucularly well pleased with the work.
One was a magnificent chair car which
has just been painted and fitted up for
the Chicago-Portland special. The cor
is painted black, with fancy tracings
around the corners, and the words 'I;io
Grande Western - Chicago = Portland
special" along the top. The workman
ship on the interior of the car speaks
volumes of praise for Salt Lake work.
men,
The other car the colonel examined
vas huge new coal car, with a ca
Dacity of $4,000 pounds. 1t was con-
structed from beginning to end in the
Salt Lake shops, and the workmen are
very proud of it. 1t is built especially
for coal, has journals 5X9 inches ana
has TWO steel girders running the entire
length of the car in place of two celtN
sills, as is the custom, thus very ma
terially increasing its carrying ca
pacity. The car was built as a model.
When questioned about the coal
mines, Colonel Dodge said: 1.-TWO Few
mines are being opened up, and the
company will build tracks to them this
summer. The output will be doubled
as soon as this work is finished. We
need 100 new cars like this, and viii get
them as soon as possible
Mr.. Dodge was asked if the cars
would be built in Salt Lake, and he
stated that the matter had not yet been
decided, but indicated that it is very
probable that the work viii be done
here. He stated that no other equip
ment would be purchased at present.

Especial Correspondence.)

Carbon, Wyo., May 21-The citizens
of this place are not a little puzzled
To know what move the Union Pacific
is about to make with reference TO the
large coal mines here. Years ago the
company worked the mines TO their full
capacity, hundreds of miners being en-
ployed at good wages and on fun time.
During many months OF the year the
men were worked in three shifts. in
order that the demand for the coal
could be supplied Some eight or ten
years ago, however, a change came
and a large number Of miners were
discharged or transferred 10 the mines
at Hanna or Rock Springs
In addition 10 this the working time
OF the mines was cut down TO four
days d Week. Then came the report
that the company intended TO abandon
the Carbon mines altogether. During
the years 1S94-5-6-7 and '9S the mines
were operated not to exceed two days
per week, and at times not at all. Last
winter when it became known that the
cut-offs would be constructed, one of
which would run from Hanna to Percy,
thus leaving Carbon off of the main
line, the business men of this place be-
came convinced that the town was 20

Conditions have changed very mater
tally during the past week, and people
here take a more hopeful glance into
the future. Orders We're received by
the mine superintendent last week to
move several company buildings and
residence houses to what is known as
Seven Mile lake. distant seven miles
from Carbon and due south. Here the
company OWNS extensive coal fields.
