HEAVY TRADING IN ST. PAUL.

THE NEW SALT LAKE-LOS ANGELES LINE
MAY BE TROUBLE BETWEEN RIVAL INTERESTS
OVER IT.

Salt Lake Utah. April 2o.-Continued activity on
the part OF the opposing forces of Senator Clark
and the Hartman interests, who are engaged IN a
struggle for the possession of the abandoned right
of way in Southwestern Utah and in Southwestern
Nevada. is reported from Uvada and other points
along the proposed line. The Oregon Short Line is
laying track toward the summit near Uvada. while
the Clark forces who are still holding the barri-
cade at tunnel No. l. are hurrying teams and men
to the front of the tunnel, where the grading is
actively in progress. Both sides express the de-
termination to give up the disputed grade and
trouble. IL any should result, will come when the
Short Line forces attempt to lay track to tunnel
No. 1, which is practically the only passage of the
proposed road at that point The opposing con-
struction factions will be close together in a few
days.
Division Engineer Barlow, of the Oregon Short
Line. accompanied by surveyors and contractors
have started in wagons from Uvada and will go
over the entire four hundred miles to the Southern
Pacific tracks in California. Whatever may be the
outcome of the dispute, II appears certain that the
road will be built connecting Los Angeles and Salt
Lake.
