ELECTRIC ROAD PROPOSED.
Big Copper Magnate is Dissatis-
fled With Local Transport
tation Facilities.
Looks Like Merger With Hartman
Interests Aimed at Gould's Rio
Grandc Western Railroad.

Salt Lakes Oft dreamed dreams OF
interurban lines with electric driven
trains speeding out into the country are
TO be realized at last and through un-
usual circumstances. While every step
so far has been covered and kept COW
cred 1t is known that f. Augustus
Heinze Is dissatisfied with the service
Of the Rio Grande and has decided to
nuild his own railroad TO his mines and
shelters. A survey between Salt Lake
ana Bingham Junction has been prac-
ticaily completed by engineers in Helm
yes employ.
AS the Montana magnate has Just
purchased a tract west OF old GARFIELD
beach near the point of the mountain.
tne line VIII be run along the edge Of
the lake TO the smelters, Material and
supplies OF all kinds could be hauled
out TO expedite construction of these
with an electric line installed.
IN addition to the transportation of
ores to and from the mines and the
pant the invasion of the passenger
field is also contemplated. with a d.
rect electric line from Bingham juno
ton to Salt Lake City affording rapid
and frequent communication between
those points.
Ihe line has been surveyed to n point
where the Utah Light &. Railway com
panys survey branches off from
twelfth South towards Garfield.
the superstition is that traffic ar
rangements for entry into Salt Iake
City is TO be tied UP between fhe
heinze and Hartman interests to the
exclusion of the Rio Grande, the Gould
property.
This connection with the street car
cofnpany's tracks ON Twelfth South will
make the line a passenger carrvIn,-
interurban road as well as a freight ana
express proposition.
SCHEME is AN OLD ONE.
While details OF this sch.n,e ,ro
lacking, the project Is practically n
certainty. as the copper magnafe is
thoroughly exasperated with local
transportation conditions. and when
once Heinze decides TO do so,ne1 hire,, ON

CHANGE IN AUTO RULES.
Ghdden Tour Committee Meets Peti-
ton Of Number of Entrants.

Buffalo. June 27-At a meeting or the execu-
tive committee of the touring board of the
American Automobile Association here to-day
4 petition was presented. signed by a number
Of the entrants for the 1907 tour. in which il
was pointed out that the schedule of premiums
for entries from any one club worked disad-
vantage 10 clubs entering the minimum number
of cars required: or. in other words. that clubs
entering large number of cars would have a
distinct advantage over clubs entering a lesser
number.
The committee decided to amend the rules
so that all clubs and entrants will start an
equal footing. The idea of putting a premium
on a large number of entrants originated with
