RAILROAD OFFICIALS TO
GIVE OUT APPOINTMENTS
Western Pacific Men VIII Arrive in
Salt Lake Wednesday and
Name Officers.

The first train travelling all the way
from san Francisco to Salt Lake over
the Western Pacific railroad will arrive
here Wednesday. This train is carry
ing Charles H. Schlacks and H. Z.
Levy. and they are proceeding leisurely.
Yesterday 7. E. Wyche left Salt Lake
to meet the officials. He expects to
find them at Elko tomorrow.
Rio Grande and Western Pacific Of
ficials are anxiously awaiting the ar
rival of Messrs. Schlacks and Levy be-
cause it is expected THAI all the ar
rangements to put in operation the
great railroad from Salt Lake to San
Francisco VIII be made during their
stay here That means the appointment
of at least one division superintendent,
various train dispatchers and assistants
of many kinds.
1t is pretty well settled that T. A.
Wadleigh will be general passenger
agent, although he may not assume his
duties on Jan. l nor until the volume
of passenger traffic becomes too great
to be handled by the Denver & Rio
Grande's uptown office.
One of the most important results of
the completion of the Western Pacific
in addition to affording a thorough
train service from Chicago to Sau
Francisco via Salt Lake, is that the
Denver & Rio Grande will have time
and money to spend on its own line
The officials are preparing to make
tremendous improvements. The eXpen-
ditures will be $4,000, 900, but there is
| $40, coo, 900 available for improvements
which means that the stockholders have
decided to make a double track between
| Denver and Salt Lake. In addition "a
| the double track there will be q cutoff

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION
COMES BEFORE BOARD
Plan Evolved by Which Taxpayers
of 1909 Can Participate
in Voting.

The proposed special election for a
100000 bond issue to build new east
side high school will be the chief item
to be considered tonight at the regular
meeting of the city board of education,
The committee on school laws will re-
port through a subcommittee COM
posed of J. T. Hammond and MathO-

January instead of on Dec. Is, as al
first proposed. This would give tax
payers of 1909 an opportunity to vote
If the election is held before the first
of the year only taxpayers of 1905 can

sewer extensions which have done them
10 good. Treasurer Gideon Snyder sent a
letter to the council last night stating
that residents in sewer extensions l72,
Isl and lS5 had refused to pay interest,
and asked what he should do about the
matter. The matter was referred to the
municipal laws committee and the city
attorney to give a report.
Property owners have been waiting for
connections with the sewer for two years
now, and paid the interest last year with
out murmur, and the sewer IS not ready

TWO OIL TANKS EXPLODED
Big Fire in North Salt Lake Which
at Last Accounts Had Not Been
Extinguished.

Fire broke ont at the plant of the Salt
Lake Oil company. located in North Salt
Lake, about midnight last night. Seven
tanks of paraffine oil, containing 100 bar
rels each. were consumed in a short space
of time. and at a late hour the work of
destruction was not yet completed. The
fire was first discovered in the still and
two tanks exploded very shortly there
after. W. o. Speer of PittsbUrg esti-
/ mated the loss at ? a. IN. at $4,000, and at
that time it was expected the ice plant
and paraffine wax plant would probably
be destroyed before the flames were sub
dued.
The superintendent and manager of the
concern is J. G. Howard of PittsbuTg and
| VIII Knight and John Murdoch of Provo
are among the local people interested.

While I was in Chicago I had the
pleasure of discussing with Washing

hotel, the Great Northern theatre and
office building and other interests,
valued in all at about $40. 900, 600, the
prospects of the greater Salt Lake. He
said some very complimentary things
concerning our city. He said that he

Be Electrified

That the Salt Lake & Los Angeles Rail
way company intend elecrifying the line
to SaltaiT during the summer of 1910 was
indicated yesterday when officers of the

city to electrifv the line within the city
limits.
The Saltair officials have given out the
statement that the line to the great re-
sort will be electrified during 1910, and
the work may start soon after the first
