THE VERY LATEST
STORY FROMOM
Burlington TO Use the Colorado
Midland for Through Trains
To Salt Lake,
COULD'S MOVE AGAINST U. P.
Brings Pressure TO Bear Following
His Practical Exclusion from
Business West of Ogden,

The very latest railroad story comes
from Omaha today to the effect that
through trains from Chicago to Salt
Lake will be in order shortly after the
first Of the month over the Burlington,
Midland and Rio Grande Western. This
story Is In line with that Of the purport-
cd Midland Burlington deal which
broke loose upon the appointment OF
George W. Vallery, formerly general
agent for the Burlington at Denver, as
general manager Of the Colorado Mid
land. The fact that Mr.. Vallery APP
parently still had the say-so as to who
would succeed him In Denver Is taken
to mean that he is stlll closely identi-
fed with the c. b. g. Q.
The story has one weak point, how
ever, when II says that the COLORADO
Midland holds trackage rights over the
Rio Grande Western west OF Grand
Junction and that consequently there
cannot be any closing Of the Grand
Junction gateway.
However the move Is taken to mean
that Hill and Gould are seeking means
of bringing pressure TO bear upon Har-
rlman following the latters tying up OF
practically all traffic out Of oregon,
Idaho, Nevada and southern Montana,
and routing II east via the Union Pa
elfic.
Gould figures that half loaf is bet
ter than no bread. Better take short.
err haul than let competitor parallel
into Salt Lake and play havoc, and
make the third In the field.
While there may be nothing In the
story It is nevertheless patent to the OBJ
server that there IL an interesting
struggle now on In this intermountaln
region for traffic and incidentally to
head of other competitors who have
their eye on Salt Lake and the coast

RUSSELL HARDING.
Considerable Speculation as TO Who VIII
Succeed Him.

The New York Commercial In dis
cusslng the question, why did Russell
Harding leave the Missouri Pacltic?'
says;
Mr.. Harding will not relinquish his
present duties until his successor IL
named or temporary provision made Tor
the administration of the operating de-
purtment. There Is much speculative
gossip, of course, with respect TO VINO
will get this choice plum. Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager Brltton OF
the Cotton Belt who followed Mr.,
Harding m the management of that
property, and who likewise came here
from the Great Northern, Is considered
well in line for the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain. He has made a good
record With the Cotton Belt, and was
recently elected president of the South
EN- Illinois e Missouri Bridge company,
the Thebes-Gray Point struc ture,
which is owned by the Gould lines, the
Frisco and the Illinois Central.
Vice President and General Manager
L. s. Thorne Of the Texas & Pacific,
and Vice President and General Mana
ger Leroy S. Price Of the international
q Great Northern, who are old and
experienced officers OF the Gould system
IN Texas, are also considered favorably
for the ST. Louis vacancy. Manager
Cotter OF the Missouri Paclfic-lron
Mountain, who Ia now on tour Of In
spection Of the lines, may be called
upon TO take the helm of the operating
department, pending the return OF
President Gould.
The Rockefeller interests In the Mis-
souri, Pacific, having once before select
ed an executive officer at the head of a
new department, may in this instance
dictate the appointment of Mr.. Hard
ing's successor. II. j. Mclean, assist
ant to the general manager, WIN prob
ably go to Cincinnati with Mr.. Hard
ing In similar capacity.

Great Falls, Mont, July SO.--Banker
w. G.. Conrad and Thomas Curry, ac-
companled by Samuel c. Hooker, OF

Conrad, Mont, where the Havemeyer
people are looking into the erecting OF
great beet sugar factory.
MIR. Hooker left yesterday afternoon
for Salt Lake, where he will seek Nor
mon" sugar beet growers,
II could not SECURE from Mr.. Hooker
positive assurances, said Mr.. Conrad,
'as he Is not IN position to speak posi-
lively concerning the erection OF fac
tory, but he seemed TO be impressed
with the belief that the country Is n
great one for the production OF sugar
beets, and that all other conditions es-
sentla to successful operation for q
sugar factory are at hand. But he de-
slres to satisfy himself that beets would
be produced In sufficient quantity to
supply the factory and he hopes that a
sufficient number OF "Mormons' may be
induced TO settle on our lands and cul-
tivate them, producing enough beets.
He visited the "Mormons' around the
sugar factory at Raymond, and while
I'm Salt Lake, will endeavor 10 secure q
guarantee that enough "Morm0ns' VIII
settle at Conrad TO produce all the
beets that the proposed factory would
require"

weeks later was discharged as cured
and returned to the state prison to
complete his sentence for the crime OF
which he was found guilty. At that
time Kpp had what might be termed
Laughing INSANITY" but It is now OF a
more serious nature, so much so In
fact, that state prison officials who tes-
titled at the hearing, were wont 10
regard him as dangerous character
During the progress OF the trial the
man made many threats directed at
those whom he regarded az his perse-
cutors and declared that he would not
20 back to Provo, as when he was
there before DR.. Hardy had tried to
poison him.

drew c. IRE, guard, and Drs. 7. q,
Odell and G. G.. Snyder The two for
mer testified to Kipp's hallucinatlons,
stating that he imagined he was pos
sessed OF great wealth, owned con-
siderable property on state street, that
he was captain aboard a ship, and
above all that he was serving overtime
at the state prison The physicians gave
expert testimony as to the mans mem
tai condition and said they regarded
him as an unsafe character and one
who required constant watching.
When the testimony had been con-
cluded Judge Morse charged the jury
and without leaving their seats they
rendered a verdict adJudging the man
