WILL ELECTRIFy
bAMbERGER ROAD
President Is Now in Chicago
Making Arrangements to
Finance Project.

Simon Bamberger, president of the Salt
Lake & Ogden railroad, is on his way to
Chicago to make arrangements for the
identification of the railroad. While in
Chicago Mr. Bamberger expects to ar
range for the financing of the project
and also for the necessary equipment to
electrify the road. The method of fl
nancing the proposition has not been an
nounced but it is very probable that
bonds for the amount needed will be is
sued.
Joshua R. Bean, cashier of the Salt
Lake & Ogden railroad, yesterday con-
firmed the report that the road was to
Mr.. Bamberger had gone east with view
to making such arrangements as were
necessary to finance the proposition, pro-
vide for equipment and to arrange for
the commencement of the work.
The electric line will probably be of
overhead construction. which is said to
be favored in preference TO the third rail
method. Electric locomotives provided
with trolleys will haul the trains of cars
between Salt Lake and Ogden. The cars
used will probably be the same ones now
in use on the line
The identification of the Salt Lake &
Ogden railroad will probably mark the
beginning of complete system of in
terurban and suburban electric lines. The
line to Ogden from Salt Lake will be of
great convenience. 1t will make the ride
between SaIt Lake ana OSGen ana inter-
mediate points. and especially to Lagoon,
a pleasant trip. After the road is cleo
trified the operating expense will be ma
terially reduced. A frequent schedule may
be maintained with but little added ex-
pense and electric trains between Salt
Lake and Ogden an hour apart are not
beyond the possibilities of the new cleo
trio line. Mr.. Bamberger will double-track
a large portion of the road, that convent
ent sidings may be available. the ultimate
intention being to double-track the entire
line.

TESTIMONY FOR
FUEL COMP AN|ES
Evidence for Defense in Fa-
nous Coal Land Fraud
Case Is Concluded.
GOVERNMENT IN REBUTTAL
CONCLUSION OF LONG TRIAL NOT
YET IN SIGHT.

Final testimony of the defendants. the
Utah Fuel company and the Pleasant Val
! ley Coal company, in the famous coal
lands fraud cases. was taken yesterday
before John W. Christy, United States ex-
aminer in chancery. The taking of tes-
timony has extended over a period of two
years and the case will probably continue
another six months before it's final dis
position.
The case grew out of alleged Illegal TAX
ing of coal lands by the companies and
| the government is seeking to recover the
land in question. There are about 10000
acres of valuable coal lands involved in
the matter The government charges in
their complaint that the Utah Fuel COM
pany and the Pleasant Valley Coal COM
pany employed entrymen TO file on the
land as individuals and that these men
turned the land over to the coal company.
1t is charged that the coal company took
up lands through this means as grazing
land, though the property was known TO
contain valuable coal deposits. The case
adjourned yesterday until Feb. 10. 1909.
when il will be reopened. At that time
the government will introduce evidence in
rebuttal.
Within a few days Fred A. Maynard
special assistant to the United States at
torney general. who is conducting the
hearing here for the government. and
John NJ Zane. attorney for the defense.
will leave for New York to take deposit
lions of the Morton Trust company for
the defendants This company holds a
mortgage of 81 900 on the lands taken
up by the fuel companies. The government
holds that the Morton Trust company
knew that the lands on which the 50 600, :
coo bond issue was made were secured IL
legally and therefore their claim against
the land is not valid John NJ. Zane and
Mark Braffett, attorneys for the defense
will go 10 Denver today to assist in the
defense in the criminal action now pend
ing in the United States court in Colorado
against several prominent Denver men
who are connected with the coal compan-
les.
Fourteen thousand sheets of paper were
required to take the testimony which was
given before Examiner Lewis before his
death and 5000 pages of testimony have
been taken by Examiner Christy. This to-
gether with the duplicate copies required
will make almost 5000 pages of testimony
taken during the course of the hearing
There has been il all eighty witnesses
examined, among whom were Robert G

company; Professor ]. E. Talmage, Mark
Hopkins and c. H. Gibbs.
