SEGREGATION of TWO Lines.

The segregation of the Southern Ia
cihc from the Oregon Short Line, or
rather that portion from Sparks, New,
to Ogden, which contributes a part OIL
the Short Line system, is a matter that
is again being discussed in railroad cir
cles. About a year ago, as will be re
membered, the Oregon Short Line sys"
TEN was enlarged to include the South
ern Pacific and branches from SPARKS
to Ogden and the Union PACING from
the Junction City to Green River, Wyo'
thus making a trackage of o Z'ooV
miles. Months ago a rumor was in cir
culation that the Hartman lines were
all to be segregated, each n placed
upon its own basis, but that Is o De
lieved to be a part of the preseh'
scheme.

Train Crews to Laramie.

The Cheyenne Leader of Tuesday,
in discussing the proposed cut-ofs
from Carr to points this side of Chey-
enne, in which it says that two will be
built, has the following paragraph:
"The two cut-offs from Carr to the
main line will be used for different
classes of traffic. The line from Carr
to the main line between Borie and
Granite canon will be used for heavy
trains carrying through freights. The
crews of such trains will u through
from Denver to Laramie, instead of
from Denver to Cheyenne. as is now
the case. The change in the run Of
these crews will have very little effect
in either Cheyenne or Laramie, as the
headquarters of such crews are and
will continue to be in Denver. A small
loss of event to Cheyenne and a con-
sequent gain to Laramie will result
from the transfer of the restaurant and
lodging house patronage of such crews
while they are waiting for return trains
at the western end of their runs"

Worried About Ice Crop.

w. ]. Stewart, travelling engineer for
the Laramie-Sidney district of the Wyo-
ming division, is in the city this after
noon, coming over on the engine OF
train No. 8 with Engineer Tom Nc
Hugh, Mr.. Stewart says the officials
of the Nebraska division and of the
Wyoming division east Of Cheyenne
are somewhat worried about the ice
crop. The recent hard freezes have
been succeeded by milder weather,
and what with the warm wave and the
scarcity of cars, there is some fear that
not enough ice to meet the usual de-
mand east of Cheyenne will be forth
coming at the right time. The scarcity
of cars prevented the beginning OF
work here and thin ice east is causing
worry.
