MAIL SERVICE CHANGE.
Thirty-two Railway Clerks GO tt
Ogden to Live.


Washington, Sept. 2.-On suggestion
by the local department, the question
of dividing the mail route between Og-
den and San Francisco has been dis
cussed at Washington during a period
covering nearly a year, and it has now
been decided to establish a station at
Reno, New This will affect forty-five
clerks in the railway mail service. and
thirty-two of them viii have to go to
Ogden to live. The new arrangement
viii facilitate the distribution of mail
and insure better service for San Fran
cisco. II will also be a great conven-
fence to the clerks
Previously it has been necessary for
the clerks 70 work thirty hours going
from and thirty-One hours proceeding
to san Francisco on the fastest trains
The trip has taken nine days. The dis
tance from san Francisco to Ogden is
SS5 miles. From ogden to Reno the dis
lance is $50 miles, and Reno is Pa miles
from San Francisco. Sixty men are
emp loyed on the line
Hereafter there will be four crews
at san Francisco and six crews at Og-
den. Men will be transferred from Og-
den to San Francisco as fast as posi-
bic. the transfers being dependent upon
seniority. The new arrangement was
approved only after mature consider
alton. The men viii be benefited as
there VIII be some promotions TO make
captains for the new crews.

WESTERN MAY BUILD
BRANCH TO VERNAL
Northwestern Extension Is Now
Under Discussion.
COL. D0DGE'S PROJECT
PRESIDENT JEFFERY INVESTI-
eating THE SUBJECT.

The Rio Grande has again taken up
the question of extending 10 Fort Du-
chesne, and possibly beyond, and Of
f1cials in close touch with the situation
are confident that this time the branch
will be built. President Z. T. Jeffrey
went into the question carefully on
his recent visit to Salt Lake, and 1t
is said that he was very favorably i'm
pressed with the possibilities OF such
branch
The route has not been definitely de-
cided on. although the Rio Grande has
had a survey made through this coun-
try for some time. One survey starts
at Heber City. and goes through the
fertile Strawberry valley, along straw
1t is not expected that this line VIII
be built until after the reservation IS
opened. Another survey leaves the
main line near Cotton and goes along
Willow creek, where oil has recently
been struck in two places. 1t goes IN
a generally northeasterly direction,
striking the other survey near the
juncture Of Strawberry creek and the
Duchesne. 1t is this route which is
under discussion at the present time.
There is possibility that the man
line will be left in the vicinity of Price,
the same general direction being fol-
lowed as in the other survey.
IF Colonel Dodge had remained In
control of the Rio Grande western,
work would have been started on this
extension this year." said an official of
the road. 1.-The change Of management
has delayed the plans, but the new
management is quick to grasp the pos
sibilities of an extension, and the
branch will be built, although not so
soon as would otherwise have been
the case"
One of the objects Of the branch
would be to secure an additional ton
mage of gilsonite Large deposits of
this could be worked at a profit with
the advent of a railroad, and furnish
a heavy tonnage. In addition agricul-
tural and grazing lands would bear
tribute to the railroad, while the deVel-
opment of the oil in the vicinity Of
Vernal would add still further to the
traffic. Ii has been figured out that
the extension is practicable and would
be profitable, but a final decision by
the new management as to the time for
building it has not yet been an
nOunced. That work will begin within
a few months is put down as a GER
tainty by the well informed.

General Miles, Archbishop Ireland and
Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota. The
grandStand was literally packed. and
when Governor Van SAINT, in introduce
ing the vice president, asked the ladies
to wave their handkerchiefs and the
men TO give three cheers, the result
was response which the vice president
will long remember. The audience was
responsive throughout the vice presi-
dents address. and he had frequently
to pause before he could make himself
heard.
Two hours was spent by the party in
viewing the exhibits. Those which ap-
peared to interest the vice president
most were found in the dairy and fat
stock pavilions.
During the review of the troops, Mr.
Roosevelt, in top hat, amounted on a spir-
tied animal, rode down the lines, fol-
lowed by General Miles and Governor
Van SAINT, afterwards taking a position
on the race track, where the troops
marched in review.

LABOR DAY NOTES.


Great credit is due the EMPLOYEES of
the street railroad company for their
presence of mind in several instances
in preventing serious accidents while
the parade was in progress down Main
street, and especially at the intersec-
ton of Main and Second South. The
parade, after reaching the head of
Main street and then countermarch-
ing, the head of the column reaching
Second South, found further progress
barred by the last end of the column
passing west along Second South. The
congestion of foot and team traffic was
beW1ldering, strings of vehicles and
cars standing in long lines waiting for
the parade to get past TO clear the
street. Some Of the cars attempted to
pass, and it was necessary for the con-
ductOrs to walk alongside the cars to
clear the track. In one instance a
young woman had stepped deliberately
in front Of an approaching car, when
the conductor, with rare presence of
mind, dragged her aside just in time to
prevent a very serious accident.
Street cars were delayed by the doz-
ems at the corner of Second South and
Main streets. At one time there were
fourteen cars on the Main street line.
