GoULD,s LINE ASSURED.
Western Pacific Has Secured Most of
Its Right of Way.

New York, July Geo. J. Gould's
straight railroad line from Salt Lake
City to the Pacific coast is an assured
fact. The filing of trust deeds and
counties in Utah. Nevada and Cali
fornia show that the right of way has
been practically secured, and en-
gineering reports, already submitted,
indicate that nearly all of the route
has been surveyed and laid out. In
some of the counties land has been
donated by the local authorities not
only for right of way, but for ter
minal stations and shops.

turned from a trip to California, re-

srRADDLE ON MoRMoN1sM.
Appears to Be Part of the Plan of
Democrats.

Salt Lake, Utah, July AT least a.
score of urgent kilograms have been
sent by Democratic city, county and
state officials of Utah to David B.
Hill, William J. Bryan and other
prominent Democratic leaders now at
st. Louis, as well as to members of
delegations from other states than
Utah, strongly opposing the insertion
of an anti-polygamy plank in the
Democratic national platform, and
urging them to turn down the plank
on this subject which it is understood
is being urged by Senator Dubois of
Idaho. The kilograms to former SEN
ator Hill were especially emphatic.
A telegram was received from Ma
tional Committeeman Peery stating
that a compromise plan had been
agreed upon which will not be often

they have done all in their power to
make a peaceful arrangement.

ON FIRST BALLOT.
Landslide to Parker Continues
Without Interruption.
Weak and WaVering Delegates
Falling into Line.
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW
1t Is Believed as the Roll Call
Progresses.
Little Attention Is Being Given
to Second Place.
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW

st. Louis, July THE steady growth
of the Parker strength has continued
unchecked. In the face of the develop
ment of the convention session the
nebulous opposition grew more uncertain
and no one can be found to stand for
any definite statement that the New
Yorker will meet with opposition of
serious character when the convention
is polled for first place on the ticket.
Delegations that have wavered in the
balance have succumbed to the Parker
tide, with few exceptions, and these are
not expected to withstand the almost
assured results of the vote as it pro-
ceeds, but will change to the Parker
column before the roll call is finished.
1t is reported that a final anti-Parker
conference had been called for an I'M
known place of meeting, but the New
Workers. managers, confident they have
the whole situation thoroughly in hand,
were not disturbed by this conference
on the ticket it can hardly be said that
speculation centers on any one man.
half dozen names are on the list of the
crowds that gather in the Hobbies, but
the general sentiment is that this mat
ter shall be left to ripen until after the
head of the ticket has been formally
named.
Chas. F. Murphy of New York sur

Cochran and others, made this state

Some conferences were held by the
anti-Parker men, after which they still
claimed they had enough votes to de-
feat Parker if they could rely upon
pledges made to them. Various sug-
gestions were made as to uniting upon
a candidate and both Gray and Olney
have been suggested as men upon
whom to rally the Parker opposition.

Florence, Colo.

railroad company, near Florence.
Colo, are being opened. and it is be-
leved that within a short time the
company will have several large mines

lands in a few days by prospectors in
the employ of the company. a drill
will be used to tap the area and it
will be gone over thoroughly in search
of coal veins All large veins found
will be opened Immediately.
A few weeks ago engineers were
sent out from the Pueblo office of the
company and surveyed the routes for
two spurs to these coal fields and
work was Immediately begun laying
tracks. The spurs are about complet-
ed and trains carrying machinery and
other requisites for the mining of the
coal will be run as soon as good veins
have been located.

cided that all the Hopkins delegates

PASSES FOR FARMERS.
Hartman Sends Out 1000 Free Tick
cts for Farmers Congress.

Houston. Texas, July An inquiry
made from an authoritative source
ELECTED the information that in antfci-
patton of the session of the Farmers
congress which opens today at Colleger,
the Hartman lines in Texas have is
sued approximately 1000 compliment
tary passes to College and return in
favor of Texas farmers, most of whom
are members of farmers Institutes,
fruit and truck growers associations
1t was also learned that last year the
same lines issued over 500 free passes
called to mind that the average at
tendance at the congress rarely ex-
ceeds LOO or 1900, the stupendous
influence which the Hartman lines
exert toward the success of the con-
gress is apparent
T. Fay, in charge of the Hartman
lines in Texas, said: Yes, the Harrf
man lines in Texas have issued some
thing over 900 free passes to College
and return for the use of farmers who
understood, however, that railroads, as
a rule, are not charitable institutions,
and do not expect our action in the
present instance to be so construed
Computed on mileage basis of the
regular 3 cents per mile as authorized
by law, the transportation we have
issued represents an immense expendi-
ture, but for all that We expect to
receive from those who attend full
value with heavy interest some time
in the not far distant future.
I'VE expect those of our people who
attend the congress to be greatly bene-
fitted thereby. We expect them to get
some ideas which will make them bet
ter farmers. We expect them to learn
something that will make them better
we expect to haul and for which we
expect to receive revenue"
