Members of Rio Grande Official
Family Arrived in Zion
Thursday.
ARE MAKING SURVEY
OF LOCAL SITUATION
A. c. Ridgway Talks of Depot
and the Car and Machine
Shops.

party of prominent Denver G. Rio
Grandc officials arrived in Zion about
noon Thursday in q special train The
party consisted of c. II. Schacks, vice
presidents A. C. Ridgway, general man
ager, and A. s Hughes, traffic manager.
The, trio represents the real official
Gould family with headquarters at Den
yer, and while it is protested that they
are simply here looking over the sltua.
ton, IL is surmised that the visit is of
special significance. The officials all oc-
cupied their special cars on the journey,
but they registered Mt the Knutsford
Thursday and will be domiciled there
during their stay in the city, which will
be of several days duration.
When seen at the Knutsford Thurs
day night Mr. Ridgway stated that
there are still few details to be added
to the plans Of the new Rio Grande &
Western Pacific depot to be erected
here. That work is now being carried
out by the architects at Chicago ana
Just as soon as they are perfected the
contract will be let and work will begin
and will he vigorously pushed.
Mr.. Ridgway was asked concerning
the erection of the car and machine
shops and other plants here on the
ground purchased by the company over
year ago from the Mormon church,
known as the church farm. in the south
western portion OF TINS city. In reply
he said: "Of course we have acquired
the property. and just as soon as ii is
ascertained what shops and other plants
we require at this point the work may
be proceeded with. -
It is said that the purpose OF the
visit Of the officials to Zion at this time
has much to do with the ascertainment
of local conditions, with view Co the
preparation of plans for the construc
Il
and other facilities ut Salt Lake; and
matters connected with this and other
projects are said TO be receiving atten-
ton.

London he will endeavor to transfer the team to New Britain or Meriden.
 The league directors agreed to the proposition with the understanding that all Saturday games scheduled in New London are to be transferred at the request of the manager of the team which would be the visiting aggregation. In this connection it developed that the same proposition had been put up to MT Humphrey at the beginning of the season, but he turned 1t down then in his efforts to do the proper thing by his pa irons.
 Dick Crocker, who umpired the forfeited Springfield-New Haven game yesterday afternoon, presented his resignation, which was accepted. Manager Danaher of the New Haven team gave notice of formal pro- test of the umpire's action at the game yesterday afternoon. W. H. Doyle of Meriden was present and filed an application for admission to the league, but as there are no va cancies the application could not be granted.
