rived in Salt Lake yesterday on his reg

remain until the middle of next week.
Colonel Dodge was in conference most
of the day with Traffic Manager Bah
cock. and the impression prevails that
some big business proposition is occu-
plying their attention, although neither
of the officials is inclined to admit that
such is the case.
Just at present the Rio GTande
Western does not contemplate any
changes in its map" said Colonel Dodge
last night. There are no extensions of
the line considered in our present plans.
President Mckinley has just been re-
elected. It is too soon after the cam
paign to think of it,"
Colonel Dodge said, also, that a great
amount of money was being expended
in improvements over the main line.

were about forty To be placed between
Ogden and Grand Junction.
The directors of the company ere

NEW TRAFFIC AGREEMENT.
Union Pacific Arrangement With
Northern Pacific.

Northern Pacific.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 10.-The Great
Northern is about to conclude a new
traffic arrangement with the Union Fa-
cific company, involving the extension
of business between the two companies
on a more extensive scale. The agree
ment will include both passenger and
freight business. The preliminary con-
tract has been drawn and was today
sent to the Union Pacific and the ore
gOn Railway & Navigation company
for aCoroval.
The details were practically agreed
upon at conference held between Vice
President Miller of the Great Northern
and General Traffic Manager Monroe
of the Union Pacific. The passenger
agreement was considered by General
Passenger Agent Whitney Of the Great
Northern and General Passenger Agent
LOmax of the Union Pacific.
As the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Omaha system is closely allied to
the Union Pacific interests, the consent
of that road to the agreement was OBJ
tanned yesterday. The Omaha will have
first call on all iDterChaugea bic bUSi-
ness, but the Great Northern, through
the new agreement, viii be considered
a close second choice, and will get a
much larger share of business than
heretofore.
The Great Northern has for some
time seen the possibilities in the way
of Increasing its business through Sioux
City and Omaha to points on the Union
Pacific. All manner of freight moving
from the twin cities into Nebraska, COL
orado. Missouri, etc, can be cent 30 the
Union Pacific over the Willmar &
Sioux Falls line, and return freight can
be very advantageOUsly handled over
the same route.
