SAD SURPRISE
FOR PASS HOLDERS
Bunch OF Nine Prominent Citizens
Were Compelled to Pay
Their Fares
ON CROSSING THE STATE LINE.
Conductor Collected From All Coming
Through From Los Angeles
New Years Day.

For the first time since Jan. 1, 1906,
| several prominent residents of Utah are
paying fares upon railroads. In this
connection good story, and true one.
is being told about number of Utahns
who were on board No. ., the eastbound
Salt Lake Route train which was held
II hours at Callente by a CAVERN at the
mouth of tunnel near that point yes
terday. On this train there We're mine
passengers riding from Los Angeles to-
wards salt Lake on "annuais tuf-
nished by the railroad company. OF
this number one is a high official of the
state, another Is a member of state
board, still another Is a member of the
state Legislature. Each pass-holder ts
known from long connection with
Utah's affairs and history. And each
one was lolling In the luxury of Pull
man seat with powerful slip of paste
board in his pocket.
When the east tunnel just this side
of Caliente was reached, the train came
to standstill Ahead the mouth OF
the bore was choked by a dirt slide
from the side of the hill. The train
was taken back TO the station, where Its
passengers spent II hours, nervous ana
anxious to reach Salt Lake, where
families, friends and New Year cheer
awaited them. This was early Tuesday
morning-New Years day. After what
seemed ages to the impatient travellers,
the track ahead was cleared of obstruc-
ton, and the journey homeward was re-
sumed. When the train rolled across
the Utah-Nevada state line there was
gladness In the hearts of the Salt LAX
ers. Something happened. When the
conductor making his final trip through
the cars asked for fares, nine passes
were passed to him. Something more
happened. He explained at great length
that ANIMALS" passes and all similar
precious forms of privilege getting
paste board We're no longer good. In
the brains of nine bewildered, wonder
ing sengers-prominent Utahns--a
light dawned slowly. The first of the
year--passes not good! These and other
thoughts We're theirs. The man in the
blue cap and brass buttons had hand
outstretched. 1t was not the glad hand
hand Fares were paid by all passen-
gers. The high state official. member
of legislature. member of state board
and others-nine altogether-have pass
es which they are probably willing to
dispose of for small sum. The pass
engers holding passes We're charged
fares from the point at which the de-
layed train should have been at mid
night New Years evening No. 2 was
due in Salt Lake yesterday morning at
$50 o'clock. but did not reach here un
til o'clock last evening. The cave-in
has been repaired, and trains are again
moving on schedule time.s9'r rae afs
