A dispatch from Omaha of the 18th
says that a presidential conference"
was held in Omaha that day, in which
President Burt of the Union Pa, iic
and Hughitt of the Northwestern took
part. General Managers Kruttschnitt
of the Southern Pacific, Dickinson of
the Union Pacific and other officials
of the latter road were present.
The gathering of notables was call
ed to shorten the transcontinental
schedule, the purpose being to send
solid trains from Chicago through to
the Pacific coast in several hours bet
ter time than under the present card.
1t is also their purpose to arrange
IA through service southwark to Los
Angeles. This move has been in con.
temptation since the Union Pacific
gained control of the line from Ogden
to San Francisco.

on conviction thereof, the person so
offending shall pay a fine in any sum
not exceeding 500 for each day such
ditch, canal or water course shall be
u%nbridged, insuficiently bridged or
permitted to remain out of repair. Pro-
vided, that after the expiration of one
year from the construction of said
bridge the road supervisor Of the
Dad district in which said bridge
is located, shall upon being mott
fed by the owner or owners of the
ditch. canal or water course ever
which such bridge is constructed, at
once inspect said bridge, and if found
in good and lawful condition, shall ac-
cept the same for the county in which
it is located, and said bridge shall
thereafter be maintained by said coun-
ty."
This section takes from the owner
of the ditch or canal the care and
maintenance of the bridge after n
ear if it is found in good condition
when it is inspected by the roa super
visor in whose district it is located.
The Importance of the change lies
in the fact that the board of county
commissioners become the owners of
the bridges after one year if they are
fit for public duty. and the builder has
nothing to do with keeping them in
repair.
