SALT LAKE ROUTE
OFFICIALS HERE
Senator Clark Plans Great I'M
pr0vementS of the Road
in Nevada.
WILL INCREASE CAPACITY
ENORMOUS SUM TO BE EXPEND-
ed ON SYSTEM.

Former Senator ". A. Clark arrived
in the city yesterday from Butte, ac-
companied by Judge Walter Bickford.
his general counsel, and J. H. Andersen.
private secretary. On his arrival he
was met by j. Ross Clark, vice presi-
dent of the San Pedro road; Judge w II.
Kelly, general counsel for the road. and
r. A. Wdnn, traffic manager. These Of
ficials of the road spent the day in con-
ference on railroad business among
themselves, and with Vice President W.
Fl. Bancroft of the Oregon Short Line.
Chief among the subjects discussed
was the plan for extensive improve
rlents in the roadbed and equipment of
the Clark road. The plan cOntemplatcs
almost complete reconstruction of that
part of the line affected by the floods in
Nevada this winter, the substitution Of
steel span bridges for pile bridges, rip
raDping the roadbed in the Meadow
valley wash AMI at such other places as
are exposed to sudden and violent
floods in the line, the substitution of
heavy rails for the track wherever tho
exigencies of traffic justify it, particu-
larly in that portion of the old line ac-
quired from the Oregon Short Line be
tween Milford and Caliente. In addi-
ton, the track will be reballasted wher-
ever needed, and the entire line put
into the best possible condition for fast,
smooth running of trains.
Besides these great improvements.
the motive power of the system will be
increased by the addition of a large
number of engines rendered necessary
by the growing traffic of the road. Al
together, the plans under consideration
contemplate the expenditure of an enor-
nous sum, and will put the San Pedro
in the forefront of western roads, both
in physical condition of the road and
ability TO handle traffic expeditiously.
Senator Clark leaves this morning for
his mine at Opllir, and viii return to
Salt Lake on Sunday afternoon, leav-
ing for Butte Sunday night. J. Ross
Clark, Judge Kelly and Mr. Wann will
probably return to Los Angeles tonight.
