There are the best of reasons for be-
lieving that the Chicago & Northwest
ern is reaching out to secure a Salt
Lake terminus. A local road which
exists on paper only, but is posed of
valuable franchises through Emigra-
ton and Chalk Creek canyons, has
been negotiating with the Northwestern
for the sale of its right of entry into
Salt Lake, and the matter is now
under consideration by both corpora
tons. The Northwestern has been
playing a sort of fast and loose game
for the purpose of Disgusting its real
motives, but the fact that it is after the
franchise shows conclusively that ii is
giving considerable thought TO Salt
Lake, or possibly the Pacific coast, as
a terminus.
AT present the western terminus OF
the Chicago & Northwestern is situated
at Casper. Wyo., and with the fran
chises of the local railroad company
acquired by purchase, or otherwise, no
great difficulty would be encountered in
effecting an entrance into this city, the
total distance between Casper and Salt
Lake being about 500 miles. The coun-
try between Casper and southwestern
Wyoming is readily accessible to rail-
roads, so that part of the line is a
matter of detail The serious difficulty
would be the right of way into Salt
Lake, but the acquisition of the above
mentioned franchise would dispel that
If the negotiations go through it will

to Say About It.
President Cornish of the Oregon
Short Line, who arrived in town late
| Monday evening, was closeted with
Vice President Bancroft and other
general officials of the road yesterday
| morning and afternoon discussing the
condition of Short Line affairs in par
ticular and the outside railroad situa-
ton in general. Mr.. Cornish was in
! terviewed at the KnutSford last even
ing and was in characteristic genial
mood as he framed the following re-
plies to the following queries:
rs it true that the corps of engineers
| who have been surveying the projected
| Owyhee-BoiSe route have been re-
| called?"
Yes. 1 believe it is. They finished
their work in that vicinity, and natur-
ally were ordered elsewhere to do other
work.
1T has been rumored that their re-
call means a breaking off of negotia-
! lions between the Short Line and the
Boise City committee which conferred
with Mr.. Hartman in regard to plac-
ing Boise on the main line; is it 500"
/ mo, it is not so; i have already said
why they were recalled. In regard to

such Importance require much delibera-
| ton and reflection, and so far as l
know the negotiations between the

reality that the newspapers have stated
they did; such being the case they
couldn't very well be broken off. There

the Boise problem; the people of
Nampa and other towns are entitled to
consideration, and we have to regard
their interests as well as our own when
a project of such magnitude is
launched.
"a prominent Boise City official who
was here several weeks ago stated that
the Short Line agreed to place Boise
on the main line provided the railroad
company was subsidized to the value
of $780, 900. Is that so?"
II don't know. The Boise people ap-
pear willing and anxious to unload
their information; you had better ask
them about it,
rs there any truth in the report that
the railroad company is contemplating
building an addition to the Cache VAL
ley branch from Preston to Mccain
mon?"
II know nothing about that rumor
except that it has been in circulation
a sufficient length of time to be worn
out. We will always look after the de-
velopment of the country in which we
operate, and when conditions warrant
our doing it we will see that the wants
of the public are attended to-"
Mr.. Cornish also stated that he would
make a thorough inspection of the en-
tire Short Line system before he re-
turns east, and no doubt large num-

the wake of his visit. such as straight

RUSH OF TRAFFIC.
Union Pacific Hauling More Freight
West Than Ever Before.
Especial Correspondence.)

especial Correspondence
Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 2S.-There is an
unprecedented rush of business on the
Union Pacific at the present time. The
fall increase has already set in, four
weeks in advance of the usual time,
and every available engine is in use.
More train crews are now at work than
ever before at this time of year on the
overland. Despite the fact that the
company has recently heightened its
sidetracks all along the line, purchased
cars of larger capacity and heavier and
more powerful locomotives, the road
has its hands full in taking care of the
large volume of business. This is the
most prosperous year for some time
for the western roads in the matter
of transcontinental business. Large
shipments of supplies. clothing equip
ment, etc. are constantly going west
over the Union Pacific, destined for the
soldiers in the Philippines. In addition
to these shipments of government
freight, individual concerns are ship
ping hundreds of carloads of all kinds
of merchandise to the Pacific coast
states and the Philippines.
IF this sort of thing continues" re-
marked an old railroad man here this
morning as he stood at the depot and
watched five heavy freight trains pull
out for the west, one close behind the
other. 1.-THE Union Pacific will be COM
PEELED to build an additional track be-
tween Omaha and ogden before an
other year has passed.

TWENTIETH ROUND.
outpointed His Opponent Before the
Dubuque, Iowa, Athletic Club
Little Damage Done.

5 Dubuque, Ia, Aug. 29.-Joe Choynski
was given the decision over Australian
Jimmy Ryan at the end of the TWEEN
ty-round go here tonight for the light
heavyweight championship of the
world Choynski demonstrated great
cleyernesS throughout. Ryan stood
Joe's continual left jabbing in the face
and showed little signs of punishment
at the end of the bout.
The decision was strictly on points.
Choynski weighed close to 15S pounds,
while his opponent was matter of six
pounds lighter.
In the opening bout between Clarence
Forbes and Con Suffield for the light
weight championship of the west, Suf-
field was Knocked out in the eleventh
round.
Choynski's superiority as boxer was
evident from the first though the pun

ishment he gave Ryan was not suffi-
cient to do more than bring blood and
cause unimportant bruises. The pun
ishment was not all on one side, though
Choynski showed little effect of what
he received. Neither man seemed to
have much the best of it during the
first ten rounds, and it was apparent
that unless an accidental blow ended it,
the fight would go to the limit.
AT the end of the tenth round Ryan's
nose was bleeding freely from the eff
fects of Joe's left jabs. Choynski's left
seemed to be always ready to meet
Ryan's ducks. The succeeding rounds
were more in Choynski's favor, though
Ryan fought gamely, landing repeated
ly but with little effect.
In the thirteenth Choynski brought
blood from Ryan's nose again and con-
tinued to land on his eyes, nose and
mouth. Ryan began hugging to avoid
punishment, and when he landed his
blows lacked force. Both were fit1hing
viciously when the bell tapped at the
end of the twentieth round.
