WESTERN PACIFIC.


The Western Pacific Railroad com.
pany has taken another step toward
the contamination Of It's plans. This
consists ot the recording IN Alameda
county Of 40 deeds OF rights Of way
purchased between Oakland and Liver.

whose aggregate value approXimates 81, p.
100000 They include, Of course, the
parcels of land required to secure the
right Of way through the city Of oak.

water on the harbor front at the foot
OF Union and Magnolia streets, whence
a ferry service with San Francisco will
be established,
The recording Of these deeds dlscloses
the route which the new railroad will
adopt across Alameda county. 1t will
extend from oakland TO Liyermora in
nearly straight line, cutting through
the Contra Costa range at Hayward's
pass, and reaching the latter city by
way OF the town Of Dublin. II will thus
tap one OF the most fertile sections OF
the county, which, up TO date, has been
sidetracked by all the railroads. The
next stage OF development will doubt
less be the grading of the roadbed
along the route defined by the right Of
way deeds. \ small section Of the line

general attitude Of the people was very
friendly, and / was agreea0ly surprised
at the broad view taken OF the necessity
Of the development OF Utah lake, even
though this might injure some indi-
viduals In Utah county or infringe upon
real or fancied rights.
| wish to express To- you my apprecia-
ton Of not only your hospitality and
thoughtfulness FOR our comfort and
pleasure, but even more than this for
the broad and patriotic manner in
which the whole subject Of reclamation

utah UP AGAINST
THE REAL THING.
Why JObbers Of Salt Lake Arose
And Made a Kick Against
The New Tariff
STRIKING IDAHO COMPARISONS.
Unless Releii Comes Utah Jobbers Will
Have 10 Yacate Idaho in Favor
Of Competitors.

owing to the prompt action on the
part OF the Commercial club the Utah
jobbers are now heaying a sigh Of re-
lief. AS stated IN last nights News
the railroads have promised a revision
in the matter Of the new tariff which
went into effect recently, The general
public has been kept entirely In the
dark regarding just what this new
freight schedule meant to Utah. The
committee on transportation and the
local jobbers were extremely anxious
that the true state OF affairs should
not leak out, as 1t would have the eff
feet Of opening the eyes OF merchants
In Idaho and dealing the jobbers OF
Utah thereby Il body blow that would
practically knock them out OF business
In the Gem state.
Had the railroads turned deaf ear
TO the plant of the Utah jobbers Utah
would have been strictly up against
the real thing, as one OF them expressed
himself today.
Briefly, the new tariff gave to the job.
bers Of Boise, Idaho Falls and Poca'
tello an immense advantage over the
Utah men. on a number of commodi-
ties the carload rates were identcally
the same-that is the rate to Boise and
Huntington, on the Oregon line, was
Identical with that to Salt Lake from
Missouri river points II meant that
if the jobber In Salt Lake wanted to
do business IN Idaho that he would
have To pay the same freight rate that
his Idaho competitor did, plus the local
rate from Salt Lake TO Idaho points.
Take hand agricultural implements
for instance. The rate I'm carload lots
from the Missouri river points TO Utah
ana Idaho common points Is the same
$40, In less than carload lots they
would cost the Utah jobber S2,lj per
100 pounds against the S2.l5 Of the
Idaho j0bhcr Then canned goods cost
both shippers Sis in carload lots, Less
than carloads can be laid down by
Idaho men for $3.50 against the Sl,74 by
Utah jobbeTs Glassware IL another
commodity where Idaho has about 4
cents 90 the good. as also are dried
fruits, axle grease and other Commodl-
ties On oils the Utah jobber gets II
good and hard to the tune Of 10 cents
while packing house products can be
laid down I'm Idaho in less than car
load lots from Omaha for $3.50 but by
the time the Utah jobber puts them into
the field against competitors he Is
handicapped with way bill that foots
up Sl1i on every 100 pounds.
Then, too, Idaho has been favored
with number Of commodity rates that
are not embraced IN Utah common
points commodities. Idaho jobbers also
under the new schedule are permitted
10 mix wool sacks and Irvine in their
shipments whereas Utah has a separate
rate quoted for both.
The above are some Of the discrim-
nations against Utaah that have gone
into effect and from which the rail-
roads have promised relief at an early
date,

another moment they were laundering
down the steep incline. gathering
speed with every turn OF the wheels
Eastbound passenger No, BIG was al
most due and the railroaders at the top
knew that nothing short Of a miracle
could prevent collision down the
mountain side.
After the two wild cars were lost In
the darkness, Brakeman II. Is. Arnold
started down the descent on a dead
run, expecting every minute to hear
the noise OF the collision as the pas
senger and Wild cars came together.
Arnold ran for two miles and sud-
denly saw No. 3l6 slowly and labor
lousy pulling up the incline. The train
was not going faster than man could
walk, and the brakeman could hardly
believe his eyes.
He boarded the engine and asked the
engineer II he had not seen the wild
cars, The engineer thought for a mo-
ment or two that Arnold was insane,
but he finally accepted the atters
statement about the runaway cars.
Arnold came back with No, 3l6 for
about a quarter Of mile and there
discovered why the collision had not
occurred. AT sharp curve the two
wild cars had jumped the track as IL
lifted by huge derrick ana rolled 200
yards down the mountain side. The
track was not injured in the least, The
cars were reduced 10 splinters.
