S. P. SURVEY is
NEARLY FINISHED

springs Are Encountered Along the
Proposed Route Around the South
End Of the Lake.

From Information brought in from
Tooele this morning II seems that there
is no doubt that the Southern Pacific

lake and enter Salt Lake city The
surveyors have finished their survey
into Tooele and have returned to the
desert for further operations which viii
terminate within the next few days.
The proposed route, which practical
ly follows on a nominal water level for
the major portion of the cutoff, viii
open up valuable mining properties on
the desert. In anticipation Of the COM
ing of the railroad there has started an
epoch Of activity IN Silver Island, Lake
Side Newfoundland, Tlmpay and other
mining districts and miners are pros
pecting in the mountains adjacent.
Taken all In all II begins to look as
though there will be mild boom in
the regions affected on account OF the
coming of the railroad
The only problem which now con-
fronts the Southern Pacific Is that Of
scarcity Of water. 1t is stated, how
ever, that by sinking wells that a good
flow can be struck at stated intervals
along the proposed route, while the
springs Of Pilots Knob, Newfound-
land and Cranners Canyon can be de-
veloped so that they will MI the re-
qulrements.
The outlook for the Southern Pacific
coming to Salt Lake Is very bright and
the residents OF Tooele county are ac-
cordlngly jubilant.

did not take much stock in the story

BEEF FAMINE
IN SALT LAKE.
There Has Been Scarcity Of Meat
For Two Weeks.
PRICES. GOING STARWARD.


There has been a beef famine In Salt
Lake for the last two weeks, said a
local meat dealer today, and" con-
tinued he. there isn't much prospect Of
It passing over for ten days or more
The cause of Il lies In the fact that the
Utah stockmen have shipped their cat
tie out Of the state because of a scarcity
Of feed, which has brought the price Of
the latter up to an unprecedented
height. But,in about ten days We ex-
pect some local stock in, which VIII
relieve the pressure"
For the last few weeks the Utah deal
ers have had to depend on the Eastern
shippers for their meat. A car load of
beef arrived In the city yesterday Just
In time to prevent one of the leading
wholesale houses from closing down
temporarily. The effect Of this
stringency In the beef market has
been the raising OF the prices and
II 1t continues, good beef-steak win be
regarded as a luxury. The price has
gone up cents within the past ten
days and the prospects are that 1t will
continue its upward tendency next
week The choicest steaks now bring
from 20 to rs cents a pound
Salt Lake Is not the only city suffer-
ing In this way. But the entire west
is included and as far east as Denver,
where the advance Is more marked than
II is here.
The price OF mutton has been up all
the spring, due TO the big California
market that has gradually been grow
ing until now II Is enormous. But NUT
ton has fallen two cents within the past
two weeks. But If many more Colora-
do and Wyoming cattlemen break loose
with their guns and clubs the price will
again shoot starward.

LEFT PENNILESS.
Deserted Sister of Clapp Gets a Place
With the Frawley Company.

After quoting Salt Lake special
dispatch to Los Angeles, regarding the
point raised here by the attorney of J..
Warland Marcott or A. w, Clapp as he
is sometimes known, with view to Sc
curing his freedom, the Express of that
city says;
Even II there were no danger OF again
being extradited It is not probable that
Clapp will ever again return to Los An
geles. The friends he made while In
this city, after careful investigation,
have become convinced that he Is alb
soulutely worthless and admit that they
have been vlctimized They are willing.
however, TO stand their losses and let
the matter drop II they are not sub
iected to further annoyances at his
hands
AS 10 his sister, who was left penni-
less when Clapp was arrested, she has
left the city She was practically des-
titute and would have suffered actual
privation had not friends provided for
her.
Owing to the notorlety growing out
OF her brothers arrest, the young wo-
man was unable TO secure employment
In the city, but as she had some ac-
quaintance with Frawley. the actor,
and was assured that she could get
place in his company she was provld-
eo with funds and Saturday. a week
ago, left for Seattle TO Join the Fraw-
leys, where she was at last accounts.
With the dropping of Clapp by his
friends and the departure of his sister
for other scenes there is no further To-
col interest In Clapp or his dolngs, ex.
cent to his creditors, and to these as
only an unpleasant memory.

STREVELL On CLARK ROAD.
Salt Lake Hardware Man Interviewed
In Butte, Mont.

Charles ~ strevell, manager Of the
Geo, NJ. scott-Strevell Hardware COM
pany Of Salt Lake City. was at the
Thornton hotel last evening on his way
TO Miles City to visit his parents, says
the Butte Intermountain.
Mr.. Strevell declares that the San Pc
dra road 10 Salt Lake City will certain
ly be built by w. A. Clark and associ-
ates. lie said that although there is
little doubt about the Oregon Short
Line completing their line to the Pacific
coast, the Clark road viii very shortly
be started and rushed TO completion.
The hardware man stated that he had
talked with c. o. Whittemore, the at
torney for the Clark road few days
ago and that gentleman said there was
absolutely no doubt but that Mr. Clark
will proceed with the construction OF
his line as first intended.
1.-THE road has organized an entire
Office force in Salt Lake City" he said,
land everything is working, so far as
the general offices are concerned as
though the road were now under con-
structlon. Our house has received large
orders for supplies. such as a railroad
would purchase from q hardware con-
Germ and only last week the Clark road
advertised for bids on twelve typewrlt-
ers which they want for their general
offices In Salt Lake City. OF course,
there are many chances for a slip, but
everything now looks favorable for the
Clark road. The people in the Utah
capital are very confident that We will
have a railroad running directly TO the
Pacific coast very shortly, and | would
not be surprised to see both roads COM
pleted as rapidly as possible.
"The fight being made between the
Short Line and the Clark reople has
been carried. 10 a considerable extent,
into other business and political affairs
in our state and most everything Is now
dated from the time the new roads Will
be completed.
Some people In Utah have doubts
about the building OF either the Short
Line or Mr.. Clark's road to the coast,
but many others, who are I'm better
position 10 know. are certain that one
OF the lines. at least. will go through.
We know that Mr.. Clark and his assoc
ciates are perfectly able TO construct
the road without the aid OF outside cap
ital. IL does not strike us seriously
that the eastern railroad magnaies can
pull Mr.. Clark off II he takes 70 the
Idea that the road win be n financial
success Mark what say, a new road
will be running 20 the cost from Salt
Lake City within a comparatively short
tifna

WESTERN CLASSIFICATION.
Eastern Merchants and Jobbers Are
Not Enthused Over the Outlook.

New York, June S.--William Carthy,
commissioner Of the New York Freight
and Transportation bureau, in discuss
ing the recent changes In freight class
ifcatlon made by western railroads,
particularly the change permitting
Western merchants to ship various
kinds Of merchandise In mixed carloads.
said;
Every instance where the western
classification has been changed to read
mixed car loads Is direct dscrmina-
ton against the city OF New York. since
all rates to Western points are made
on the official classification which does
not permit mixing cars TO the Missis-
sipi river and this increases the dis
trlbuting power Of every jobblng house
located on line drawn from 81 Paul
through Chicago and 81. Louis or, in
other words, all cities located on the
west bank OF the Mississippi river. Such
changes as these are drawing the lines
and seat Of distribution Of New York
closer and closer and we should have
the cooperation of merchants here 10
take up and fight Just such propositions
which are driving freight TO Western
distributing centers. The only thing
W wv 10 W 81 ilEilA dhtdu anu lIpltSl
against the changes that are 10 take
effect on August l.
These changes have been effected
through influence brought to bear on
the railroads by the ST. Louis, Kansas
city and Chicago Traffic bureaus, which
the merchants Of these cities support
to obtain such results as this in the
equalization Of rates and classification
Of their respective geographical situa-
tons"
Mr. w, M. r. Corwlne Of the Mer-
chants association, said that the
changes announced in the Western
classification are being compared care
fully with the present schedule and II
the new ratings are found to be hurtful
TO New York and shippers to this Sec
ton, the association would take the
matter up with the Western classlflc.
