Railway & Power company commenced
operations on the second track on First
street A big force Of men was put to
work and as soon as the minority which
is opposing the innovation awoke to the
fact they got ready for action The re-
suit was that this afternoon steps were
taken in the direction Of asking the
courts to issue a temporary restraining
order prohibiting the streetcar company
from laying and operating the second

Those opposed to the track are George

RATE ON SUGAR
Traffic Men Meet in New York 20
Consider Proposition.

Acting Traffic Manager T. M. Schu-
maoher of the Oregon Short Line tbs
morning stated that he had not the
slightest idea what would be done as "
the rate on beet sugar to the river and
eastern markets and that nothing prob
ably would be given out for some
months until the 'O3 product was about
ready TO be marketed
The sugar producers Of the west
have been agitating the matter for
some time past. as the industry has
grown 70 such proportions, and is still
growing with leaps and bounds, that
more sugar Is being manufactured than
y consumed locally many times over,
II Is interesting to note that the rate on
sugar to the eastern markets Is today
thu same az when there were no big
factories In the west. Since then Cali
fornia. Utah, Nebraska, Colorado. Ore
gun and Idaho have entered the sugar
producing field and the tonnage has
grown 70 proportions that are factors
IN earnings Of the big roads.
II IT, generally conceded that new
tariff sheet covering this commodity
VIII be issued following the New York
meeting and that this concession will
embrace rates from the intermountain
region, the Atlantic and Pacific coast
points and New Orleans.

OPPOSED TO A SECOND TRACK
First Street Residents Talk Of Taking Steps Stop Street Car
Work Commenced Along That Thoroughfare Early his
MorRing--Old Injunction Cited

prohibited from operating any cars
whatever on that street until 1t has
purged itself from contempt. AS soon
as | saw Mr.. Read, the manager OF the

situation. but he simply smiled and
said. Well, we are going to try II
crack anyhow | think before they get

ent. / intend to spend some money on
this thing myself. The situation is bad
enough as II is but when they have the
two tracks down and proceed to operate
the Third, First and Sixth street lines
over First street 1t will be UNDESIRABLE.
Then cars will be running every two
minutes or so up and down that hill,
and | do not propose TO have my chill
dren killed or my house shaken 10
pieces The scheme Is very apparent.
This move is to relieve South Temple
street, and to make belt lines. The sec
ond track through the Eagle gate IL to
be torn up 30 that teams can drive
up 10 the Holmes apartment house and
the cars Will be diverted so as to 90
down North Temple TO East Temple
street, but we are to get them all. That
hill Is dangerous enough as II Is, and
you should see the last cars come rae
ing down Il every night With a second
track on II teams and everything else
will have 10 make way for the cars"
A petition asking that the second
track be laid, was signed and sent into
the city COUNCIL by a number OF resi-
dents on First street last week.
