CAR LINE
GOES TO MILL CREEK
And Forest Dale Gets Five
cent Fare.
GET COUNTY FRANCHISE
SALT LAKE CITY EXTENSION is
ASSURED.

That the Salt Lake City Railroad
company will speedily construct its
Seventh East street line to Forest Dale,
Tas srg through the thiekly settled sub
urbs southeast of the. city. with Cal
der's Park and Mill Greek as the
objective points, seems to be an as
sured fact. In special session the coun-
ty commissioners yesterday granted
the company such a franchise as it de-
sires, and while it has not yet been
formally accepted, il is said the assur-
ance was given last evening that all of
the terms and conditions imposed are
acceptable to the street car company,
and that construction work viii be
+ commenced and the line completed be-
fore the limit of ninety days.
The franchise granted permits the
Salt Lake company to extend its Sew
enth East street line from the inter
section of Eleventh South street east
ward on that highway to Eighth East,
and south on that street to Thirteenth
South, the street on the north side of
Callers Park, thence west a block TO
Seventh East and south on Seventh
East to Fourteenth South.
The way is clear for the extension of
west through Forest Dale, but from
street, the thoroughfare along which
the Rapid Transit line runs east and
| west through Forest Dale, bnUt from
there to Thirteenth South the usual
fOur-rod street will have TO be opened
/ up by condemnation or cession of lands
from the property owners, but it is said
there will be no serious obstacles to
overcome in this way.
Among the conditions imposed are
that no more than a scent fare for sin
I gle passages from and to Ashton street
shall be exacted. This will be received
with satisfaction by the residents of
Forest Dale, who have grown weary in
efforts to secure such a concession from
the Rapid Transit company. The
grantee is obligated to pay a yearly
license tax of $40 on each motor car
operated regularly on the new line, and
a, strip on each side of the track at the
intersection of Twelfth South is to be
brought to grade and paved with fine
gravel to make an unObjectionable
crossing.
With this grant to the Salt Lake City
Railroad company; it is now deemed
! quite probable that the county COM
missiOneTS Will see their way clear to
grant the Rapid Transit company the
! privilege of connecting its Seventh East
street line running north from the Can
1 non corner with the State street line,
/ particularly since many of the former
/ opponents of the grant are now willing
that the franchise should be granted.

TEST SUGAR CASE.
Protest Against Imposition Of Coun-
tervailing Duty is Heard.

CSrNd1AlnS OuCy IS Heard.
New York, April 1.-THE test case
involving the imposition of a counter
vailing duty on Russian sugar came up
before the board of classification of the
United States general appraisers again
today E. A. Bigelow appeared for the
protestants, while William ]. Gibson
represented the government Ne oral
testimony was offered, but the case
was submitted to the board after argu-
ment upon facts as stated in the con-
sular reports and other official docu-
mentS.
Mr.. BigeIow argued at some length
that there was no bounty paid by the
Russian government. He declared that
section 3 of the American tariff act
did not cover any such state of facts as
was shown TO exist in Russia regarding
the production of sugar. Mr.. Bigeiow
declared that the question of price had
nothing whatever to do with the cOun-
tervailing duty; that the government
had no right to assess such q duty IN
less it was distinctly shown that q
specific bounty had been paid to the
Russian exporters.
Mr.. Gibson argued on behalf of the
government, and said that Russia pays
a greater bounty than any other coun-
try in Europe, and cited statistics in
support of his position. He also said
that Russia maintained a tariff that
was pTohibitive as regards imports Of
sugar mo litt CpuutIy- ne sara lHdl
the production of sugar in Russia was
absolutely regulated by the government
and was completely under government
control.
It was decided to leave to the board
the decision in the question as to which
case would be more properly the test
case. The hearing developed no new
facts in the controversy. Judge SOmer-
vile intimated that the case would nat
urally be taken to the federal courts,

Mr. LOomis did not report TO Washing

Answering a question on the subject,
Mr.. LOOMS said he saw. no necessity
for sending the United States squadron
ted that 1T was possible this might be
done Venezuela is now quiet and there
is no immediate apprehension of a re-
VOlUtiOn. The minister said he believes
President Castro is capable of handling
the situation. He made no direct state
ment regarding the possibility of trOu-
bic between the United States and Ven
ezuela, remarking that he could not
talk on the subject before reaching
Washington, but so far as he knew
the entire misunderstanding was due
to the asphalt controversy. and in his
opinion months will elapse before it is
settled in the courts. He refused TO
deny that a certain anti-American ring
would be glad to see him recalled. Mr..
LOOMS thought there was nothing Sc
rious in the situation.
Antagonistic to Castro.
TIE emphaticaHy declined to disclose
the nature of his report to President
Mckinley. but judging from casual re-
marks which he let fall. he is evidently
quite antagonistic to President Castro.
He said that the latetrs salary was
$4,000 a year, but that he had laid up
$4,000 600 in the last two years.
President Castro told the Vene-
zuelans," he said. that they and the
Europeans in Trinidad were at liberty
to seize claims in the Orinoco district
on land previously ceded to Americans.
1t was evidently his intention to en-
barrasS the United States government
