What Railroads Are Doing.

Railroad construction promises much
IN a material way for Salt Lake and
Utah From the beginning the one
great problem has been TO break
through the barriers and put the city
in close touch with the balance of the
civilized world. In later days this
problem has been more in the line OF
recurring better transportation rates TO
enable local merchants to compete on
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-01-01

JObbers conquered little new territory
IN the year just closed. Most of them
congratulate themselves that they have
retained all their Old territory. When
TIE discrimination IN freight rates
against Utah is considered. it is re-
marka bic that the local jobbers DO "a
tain all the territory conquered in other
years. This fact in itself is a hfEh
tribute TO the grit and business ability
Of the local merchants.
To get clear idea of the situation il
must be remembered that the knights

even worse than that. Not content
with skirmishing on the borders of the
Salt Lake territory for business these
invaders force their Wav within the
walls of Zion and resort TO every trick
known TO the trade to whip the local
jcbbers on their own dOOrstePs.
Opening of New Railroads.
For the reason just given the opening
CT new railroads into Salt La Ike is not
regarded as an UDmiXed blessing by
the local jObbers. They know that the
Cpenlng of the san Pedro viii be a
great thing for Utah. and in common
"ith all other patriotic citizens, are
strongly in favor Of the enterprise At
the same time they realize that the
opening Of the road viii bring the Los
Angeles jobDerS into much of the terri
tory now held by Utah merchants. This
will make the fight for business all the
fercer in southern Utah and Nevada.
The same condition viii follow the
CTening of the Mnffat road when the
Denver jObberS viii enter the fight for
Salt Lake territory. The opening of

welcome all these competitors. knowing
that the openinS of all these channels

represents an increase of Ii per cent
over the best previous year in the his
tory of the city.
The chief factor in bringing about
the great increase in the volume Of

general prosperity that has prevailed
throughout the year among all the peo-
pie with whom Salt Lake merchants do

One of the surprising and gratifying

that the political campaign had little

Another feature of the year worthy

ment that General Grippenberg had
been relieved of his command OF the

time, With Arizona to be dealt with
later. A peculiar reason was stated
on one occasion for this attitude of
the railroads to the effect that these
corporations would be able to control
the labor situation better with two
states made of Arizona and New Mex
leo than they would if these territories
were joined in single state.
Senator Patterson's proposition for
combining the efforts of the Demo
Gratis in favor of the admission of
New Mexico, leaving out Arizona to
be dealt with later, is one that is still
being supported by very many
Democrats, although it has not every
Democratic Senator in it's favor. Sen
ator Bailey is understood still to be
endeavoring to get Senator Foraker
and those who support his plan for a
separate vote by Arizona and New
Mexico on the question of their ad-
mission as one or two states to drop
that amendment and join their forces
n favor of letting New Mexico alone
at this time.
Foraker is Fighting.
Washington, Feb. 6.-When the joint
statehood bill was laid before the Sen
tie today Senator Foraker spoke in
favor of striking out that portion of
he bill relating to Arizona and New
Mexico. His opposition to the bill was
)ased on the consolidation of Arizona
md New Mexico as one state. While
le did not endorse all the details of the
provision for the union of Oklahoma
md Indian Territory he was willing to
lccept it.
Beveridge Has His Say.
Washington, Feb. 6.-The Senate
'eceived the House managers who pre-
sented the replication to the answer of
Judge Swayne. in the Impeachment
proceedings at 2 o'clock. Thereafter
Senator Beveridge began his speech in
support of the joint statehood bill.

The opposition came principally from
FITZGERALD, of New York, and McMor'
ran of Michigan. Mondell OF Wyom'
'ng, Lacey of Iowa, and Hitchcock OF
Nebraska, supported the measure, the
former becoming engaged in a heated
colliloouy with McMorran who
charged that it was proposed to rot
The Indians. Mondell moved to sus
pend the rules and pass the bill, but
the motion failed to receive a neces
,ary two-thirds vote and was lost.

as the track was repaired from the

again last night in Arizona, but as the
