RAILROADS MAY MAKE

A decision has now been reached by
all the Western roads TO put in effect
as soon as the requirements Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission can be
complied with, rate of 9 cents per
mile on through as well as local tick
cts in the States of Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois, and Missouri. This applies to
Utah or any State west Of the States

a ticket at Salt Lake for Chicago, for
instance. via the Union Pacific, the pur-
chaser would be given the benefit Of
the lower rate in Nebraska, through
which State he would pass. thus mate
rally reducing the price of his ticket.
This rate, of course, applies equally to
other points and on all other roads.
A rumor is current that the 2,ceut
rate will be put III effect in Utah by
the roads centering here. There is no
confirmation of this, but the assertion
is currently made. Following this, it is
said. will be an absolute withdrawal of
all free transportation, this step being
taken to even up the receipts on the re.

OGDEN, July 13.-At l1;1o o'clock
tonight an alarm from box % called
the fire department to the Utah & Ore
gon Lumber company's yard, near
the corner of Twenty and Wall
avenue. The fire got such a start
that the flames could be seen shoot
lug up in the mir from the police sta
tion and the fire station.
The department did prompt and eff
icient work Fully 100000 worth
of lumber was involved, and the Ere
started in the lathe yard. where about
$4,000 worth was stored
The department confined the fire to
n very small area, thus preventing it's
spreading over the entire yard. which
would have created ore of the greatest
confagrations in the history of Ogden.
The loss probably is not more than
$4,000. and is confined principally to
lathe, but there was some good
structural material partially damaged.
Chief Paine and the fire department
state that there is no question but that
