Hartman roads in conjunction with
the Wabash and the Salt Lake Route,
to run daily between St. Louis and the

cided upon at meeting in the Short
Line offices by officials representing
the passenger departments of the vari-
Gus lines taking part in the service,
and the date for beginning the service
was decided upon as April IA.

with d. f. Burley, general passenger
agent for the Oregon Short Line, for
the express purpose of planning the de-
tails of this train service and Salt Lake
was decided upon as the place of meet
ing because of its central location. The
meeting was very enthusiastic one,
and the social side of the gathering
was apparently just as notable as the
business side. as IL brought together
some of the highest officials in the pas
senger departments of the several roads

train to convey the railroad men to
Twin Falls, Ida, there to be the guests

that part of the Gem state. Mr.. Per-
rine arrived in the city yesterday and

be provided to take all the guests to
Shoshone falls, where they viii be
shown the site of the proposed big ex-
tension bridge. They will be guests of
