He was the first recorder of Lake

"The first prospecting party that en-

very successful. They worked all the
way up the gulch from below Granite

HARTMAN PLANS
R. R. AGREEMENT
DESIRES UNIFORMITY OF RATES
On ALL LINES.
Anxious to Have the Laws Changed
Permitting Mergers to Help
Carry Out His Present
Projects.

Pasadena, CAL, March 16.-It was
reported yesterday that E. H. Harri-
man mas in mind scheme to bring
ABOUT mutual understanding in re-
gard TO traffic arrangements between
all the railroads of the country and
a uniformity of rates that will be gen.
orally to the benefit of the stockhold-
ers, and that the conference which is
to be held at Pasadena while Mr.. Har.
riman is here will be concerned more
or less with the plan.
Not all of the railroad men who are
to take part in the conference have
arrived and nothing of Importance has
yet been attempted. c. o. Butter
worth of the New York Central road
is expected today
1t is said Mr.. Hartman expects that
congress, at the special session, will
make some amendments to the laws
governing the interstate commerce
commissions work which will permit
of merger.
Mr.. Hartman was asked:
HOW soon do you expect the rail-
roads to resume work on the improve
ments that were contemplated before
the financial depression
You may say" he answered, that
| as soon as an amendment is passed
| giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to allow the railroads
to enter into mutual agreement
that is, permitting the strong roads
OF the country to extend their credit
and protection over the weaker roads
just SO soon will long contemplated
improvements be rushed through to
completion.
This means, of course, the expendi-
ture OF an immense amount of money
and eventually believe it will result
in reducing the cost of operation and
charges.
AT the present time, you know,
there Is a clause in the law which pro-
hibits one road having any control
over a parallel or competing line. This
is what we want changed. 1t is a
question of the weaker and the
stronger. If the stronger are allowed
to come to the aid of the weaker
roads there will be a great betterment
of conditions all along the line and
the employment of thousands of men
and the opening of many new lines"
