DROPPING WELLS-FARCO
Gould Prefers His Own Express Com
pany on His Railroads.

Possessing all the earmarks of relia-
bility and reasonableness a story is
now being told which is sort of re-
vival of those told In the past regard
ing railroad express affairs in the west.
This story has to do with the Gould
lines and the Wells-Fargo and Globe
Express companies. II is this: the
Wells-F Fargo company is considered
Harrinlans in the sense that he has
control of It, This fact is known to
Gould. of course, and yet the Wells
Fargo company is operating over
number of Gould lines, including the
Rio Grande Western. But the contract
between the r. G. w. and Hartman
express company expires In June and
from Denver comes the report that no
new contract win be signed, but that
the Globe company a Gould concern
with headquarters In Denver, Will con-
troll the express business over the Gould
lines.
The word is also out that the West
ern Pacific will take the Globe when
that line is ready to carry on business
between Salt Lake and San Francisco
and as the Globe now handles the Rio
Grande's business between Denver and
Grand Junction the Wells-Fargo will
have been removed on Gould line
reaching from Denver to San Fran
cisco. But that will not be all by any
means. Before Could gets through he
will have his own express company
operating on 10000 miles of his own
roads, and in so doing will have
stretch covered by these two great
forces of his extending from one edge
of the country to the other.
AS has been shown ii will be a very
easy matter and is going to be a step
of the near future to put in the Globe
between Denver and San Francisco.
East of Denver the ground will be COW
cred in good time. AS soon as the con-
tract between the Missouri Pacific and
Wells Fargo expires that road will CO.
operate with the Globe as far east as
st. Louis, Mo, from Pueblo. The Wa
bash will handle Globe business be-
tween st. Louis and Pittsburg and the
Western Maryland In connection with
the Wheeling & Lake Erie will carry
II to Baltimore. The Texas & Pacific.
st. Louis & Southwestern, ST. Louis &
Iron Mountain and other Gould roads
piercing the south, will carry the Globe
down to the gulf
The first of the present year saw the
Pacific Express company superseded by
the Wells-Fargo on the Salt Lake
Route. These changes and moves are
the foretellers of a mighty battle be,
tween the Gould and Hartman forces
Tor supremacy in the west.

CONFIDENCE IN OIL.
Olive Orchardists of California Have
Demand That Passes Supply.

Wholesale houses report that since
the pure food law went into effect tne
demand for olive oil as food mas De-
come so extended in this section OF the
country that the southern California
olive oil makers can hardly supply the
demand Consumers have in the pds'

Oil guaranteed against adulteration'
dealers saw there has been such con-
fidence established that people are
everywhere getting into the habit OF
buying this wholesome oil as a deslr'
able condiment. When asked II the
foreign article was at all adulterated,
dealers say not, for the reason that
every shipment made into this country
Is sampled at random, and the entlre
lot Judged from the results of the
samplins, So as the foreign manufac-
turer can not tell what bottle or pack
age will be opened for sampling, he
does not indulge in any undermined
treatment of his goods. II the gov
eminent inspector finds anything wrong
about a package, or If II is below the
standard, II is thrown out and held sub
ject to confscation. European olive oil
retails at 10 cents per quart more than
the Californian, and there is something

Says Parent win Be Here When

Monday.
BUT HE NEED NOT BE HERE.
His Testimony is I'm Such Shape That

Swimmingly.

The scare" story printed this morn
ing over the fact that the where
abouts of one w. II. Parent does not
worry Sheriff Emery. Parent figured
prominently in previous trials and
hearings of others connected with the
Sheets case which had its origin in the
odoriferous McWhirter robbery. 1t ap-
pears that Parent, who turned states
evidence, is not in the city. or at least
If he is in the city, is not in the county
jail or the eyes of the sheriffs office,
FEELS NO ALARM.
Sheriff @. Frank Emery said today
that he feels no alarm over the fact
that the present whereabouts of w. II.
Parent are unknown TO the officers,
while the case IN which the mans evil
dence is wanted is so near hearing.
TRIAL STARTS MONDAY.
Next Monday will witness the COM
mencement of the trial of ex-Chief Of
Police George Sheets. on a charge OF
conspiracy in connection with the fam
GUS McWhirter affair. Parent was one
OF the men implicated, and after q long
search was apprehended and brought
nom Denver to Utah. He made a clean
breast of his connection with the af-
fair. and his testimony was considered
to be most damaging to certain mem
bers OF the police department.
WILL BE HERE.
Parent was In the county jail for a
time. but was later released upon his
own recognizance. Whether he appears
at the trial of George Sheets or not. the
authorities are of the opinion that his
testimony is IN such shape that 1t will
serve the purpose quite as wen as
though 1t were to be repeated by Par
