DOUBLE TRACK
ON UNION PACIFIC
CONTRACTS AND SURVEYS
FOR OVER 100 MILES.
Biggest Double Tracking Contract
Ever Let in the West-WOrk VIII
Cost Over S3,OOO,OOO When Com
pleted-Heavy Traffic Forced Com
pany TO Provide More Tracks.

| The Tribune is authorized to an
nounce today officially that the Union
Pacific Railroad company has planned
to carry on more extensively than
ever its double tracking operations in
this state and that during the present
year contracts, far greater than any
heretofore awarded, will be granted
for the construction of second track
work, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
The engineering department Of the
Union Pacific has already COM
menced the work Of surveying the
main line of the road for double track
over 100 miles of track and most of
this work, If not all, will be started
during the present year. Upon the
completion of the surveys, estimates
will be made by the resident engi-
neer's office, and submitted to the
general officials and bids for the work
will be asked for.
The new double track work will ex-
tend from Hanna to Rawlins, dis
tance of 40 miles; Robinson to Wam-
sutter, distance of 20 miles, and
Rock Springs to Green River, dis
tance of Is miles. Other small
stretches will be constructed to COM
plete the double tracking of the entire
main line of the road from Cheyenne
to Green River, making a total Of
about 100 miles.
At the present time the constuc-
ton of new double track from Wam-
sutter of new double track from Wam-
sutter to Rawlins, a distance of Al
miles, is now in progress and 10
miles more of new double track Will
be placed in service on Saturday.
The new work. however, will be
far more important than any hereto
fore attempted on account of the
mountainous nature of the country
through which the road passes. This
will probably be the biggest double
tracking contract ever let in the west
and is roughly estimated by engineers
connected with the Union Pacific to
involve an expenditure of s3,000,000,
if not a greater sum.
| 1t is known that the second track
between Rock Springs and Green
River will be built this year and doubt
less the entire 100 miles for which
estimates are now being prepared.

tire country is aroused in regard to
the control of trusts and the many
problems arising from the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
and the amended interstate commerce
act, the conference is likely to have
notable and far-reaching effect in
giving direction to public sentiment.
Tomorrow the delegates to the /
ference will devote\to a considerat'
of the corporation problem embraced
in the following questions:
How should corporation be con
structed? Should there be national
corporations, as well as state? What
should be the basis of capitalization
of corporations? The methods of their
internal control? What provisions
should be made looking to the pro-
lection of investors and stool
Should there be "a distinction between
public service and other corporations
Should quasi public utilities, like gas.
electric lighting and street railway !,
be considered natural monopolies, I.
be regulated by the municipal govern
ment?
Thursdays and Fridays sessions:
will be given up to discussion of
various phases of the general topic,
including the just and practicable
limit of restriction and regulation
both federal and state, of combina-
tons in production. distribution, tran
sportation and labor, and the ques
ton: Shall the Sherman antitrust
law be amanded and if so, in wha
manner? Tariff and free trade in re
lation to trusts will likely furnish {
spirited debate. The relation of la
Dor unions and farmers organizations
to trusts will be considered at length
from all standpoints. The ALLEGED
