THE ,CoRRECroR CORRECTED.
Tribune was Misinformed When IL
Called News" Down.

The Tribune recently has taken upon
itself the office OF "oficial corrector"
and has dismissed some railroad items
which have appeared In the News"
the night previous. with curt SEN
tence of denial. That Il the way the
story regarding the contemplated lay
ing OF heavy steel on the Sanpete
branch of the Rio Grande Western
and also the Craftsmanship OF the meet
ing of general agents were noticed.
The News" was right and the Tribune
was wrong.
This morning Donald Rose. of the
Illinois Central, statedt 2mphatically
that. despite the assertion. Of the Tri-
bune to the contrary, he was not the
chairman at the meeting OF general
agents held a few days ago in this
city. As 10 the Sanpete branch story
published in the News" three weeks
ago the following from the Sanpete
Free Press is self explanatory:
"rhe work OF putting down new ties
and laying heavy steel on the Sanpete
branch OF the Rio Grande Western rail-
road. is progressing rapidly. This inn
provement will be appreciated by the
travelling public, as il means quicker
and better service"
