PRESIDENTS BURT
AND A. J. EALING,

President II. G. Burt of the Union
Pacific and President A. j. Ealing
OF the Chicago, Milwaukee & st, Paul
railway, accompanied by several Union
Pacific and Milwaukee officials are now
on their way to Salt Lake city In
special train which Is expected to ar
rive here on Wednesday morning,
The party Is looking over the situa-
ton; beyond this statement nothing
further Is forthcoming,
The fact that the two big railroad
men are travelling together would lend
color to the printed reports that the
Union Pacific and the Milwaukee had
combined on an understanding as TO
the division OF certain trans-continental
traffic TO the exclusion or the chicago
a Northwestern.
In this connection a prominent rail-
road man, who was not anxious to be
quoted, affirmed that he knew with
out any reasonable doubt that the
Northwestern positively means TO ex-
tend west TO Utah, II not further, az
an early date with the object In view OF
protecting itself against the various
combinations that were being formed IN
the west
In this connection It Is interesting to
note that II. c. Mahanna, superinten-
dent Of the South Platte division Of the
Fremont. Elkhorn & Missouri valley,
has been In the city for the past two
DAYS accompanied by lawyer from
Fremont. Neb. They left for the east
over the Rio Grande this afternoon,
While the superintendent OF the Chi
caRo q Northwestern extension stated
that he thought the road would build
west some day he was not prepared
to affirm that any work in this direc-
ton would be done in the immediate
future.

To the Editor,
In the pending school election Prof.
Byron Cummings Is nominee In the
First precinct Some Of the people OPP
posing his election claim that his be-
ing professor in the university would
prevent him from being an efficient
member OF the board of education, pro-
vided he did justice to his work In
that institution. From my knowledge
of the professor | feel assured that II
he thought for one moment this would
be the case he would even now with
draw as q nominee. A harder working
and a more conscientious and onergetlc
man do not know. However, II the
University OF Utah Is giving It's profess
sors 80 much TO do that they cannot act
as trustees Of schools where no more
time is given to the duties attached
thereto than is ordinarily devoted all
over the United States, that institution
Is certainly doing an injustice to the
teaching force and working against itS
own interests and against the interests
OF education In general. Every pro-
lessor should have some time 20 give
10 public affairs and especially To those
IN his line. For man In university
who Is so confined through excess OF
work as to make II necessary to smut
himself up in order to perform the du-
ties therein, and thus become Obvious
10 everything else than his class work
ana TO every duty OF oitizenshlp-ac-
oordlng 10 my view that man Is certain
iv made un0t for his position and q
radical change should be made In that
Institution. - ~. .n

There is Something Radically Wrong in the University

University OF Utah should always have
time TO do some lecturing throughout
the state or 10 engage IN some other
school activities Such must De tne
prevailing opinion In most state UNI
yeristies In the United states, Ior lhe
professors in thes institutions are thus
partly engaged year after year,
Any one who Intimately KNOWS the
faculty OF the university knows that
every member would Ike to see large
number Of good high schools esiap-
llshed throughout Utah and are anxious
to see the salt Lake city High schools
and graded schools prosper, ana see az
so that there is no anlmosity In the
university against the salt Lake Clty
High schools or other public schools.
Again, no persons better than the
university faculty realize for the inter-
ests Of the whole public school system
md especially for the interests OF the
university. which Is q part OF the pup
liz school system OF the state ana
stands nj the head Of that system, that
hsrmony and good will all along the

Of the graded and public high school

General Manager S. f. Fenton Of the

himself today as assured that the city
council would pass the ordinance grant
ing his company a franchise directly
over the mayors veto. He said that the
reason his company Incorporated In Ne
braska was to have such litigation as
the company might become involved In
tried in the United States courts, as
justice from jury in the state courts
was uncertain. Mr.. Fenton also called
attention to the fact that the majority
Of the mining companies incorporate

there be about the Home company be-
ing foreign corporation. Then there
