'MOFFAT' ROAD IS
COMING THIS WAY
Hill Trying to Buy Line That
Everyone Said Would
Break Builder.

If James ]. Hill does not buy the Moi
fat road it Will be because D. H Moffat
asks very much more than Mr.. Hill thinks
It is worth. Hill recently paid eight times
the 100000 cost price of the Colorado &
Southern in order to get it, so there Is
little doubt he will be willing to give
MOffat a good profit on his Inc MoIIat
IS now in New York negotiating with Mr..
Hill. He has refused a number OF cTrers
for his road.
The history OF the Moffat road is that
of one mans stubborn obstinacy against
the advice of all his fellow financiers.
1T will break you" is what they toid
MOffat when he said he was going 70
build a railroad from Denver to Salt
Lake. He laughed and selected the very
route that years before the Union IA
cific engineers had prCr ounced impossi-
BILE. 1t was the shortest line, but there
was plenty of engineering authority Ioc
saying railroad could be built where
the MOffat line has since been built Mr.
MOffat was worth between $3OVW,VOO ana
$4,000, 900, but it was tied up in real es-
tate, stocks and mines. No other rail-
road was ever so costly for some OF the
miles, consequently there came a time
when he sought to borrow money on MS
road.
F'inanciers simply would not hear OF IT,
so Mr. Moffat sold some OF his holdings
ana put them into the road. Finally ne
got acre SIS the Rockies and put on one
the train was crowded and the tares
charged were on stage line basis
Pre- sently the road began paying expenses,
and when it got fairly into ROutt county
it began making money. Those profits
are now being used to extend the line, ana
while not very much is heard about Il,
the Moffat road is creeping along toward
Salt Lake, Just as the builder sald Il
would No one doubts now that Mr.. Moi
fat can build il to Salt Lake without
anyone's aid He has d pretty good road
bed along the route the Union Pacific
engineers said was impossible. Some Of
his trains are couple of days late While
they are being dug out of the snow but
similar delays happen to the Southern
Pacific when its snowsheds get on IRE
Eventually al that viii be done away
with by snowsheds and tunnels.
Mr. MOffat has reached the age OF three
Jcore and ten, and no Ooubt he would be
willing 20 relinQuish the road at a Ialr
profit He has built many roads, but
never lost money on any Of them, and
no one doubts now his last crazy ven
ture'' will be the most profitable OF them
all.
Mr.. Moffat before he returns from New
York will know whether he is going TO
keen tine road or sell il to Mr. Hill II
Hill buys IL the road will get TO Salt Lake
somewhat quicker, and Hill will probably
build on to the Pacific coast If he does
not buy il he will extend the Burlington
from its Wyoming terminus to the Pa
ciffc coast In either event Salt Lake ls
very likely to be on the line Of the new
transcontnental route.

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE MAN OF THE HOUR"

But two more performances remain to
be given of THE Man of the Hour" at
the Salt Lake theatre, this afternoon and
tonight. Women particularly love this
play. They love every character in 1t,
even to the men who are not as good
as some Of the others, and they love every
word they speak And why? Because
the men in the play talk like husbands.
fathers, brothers, sons and sweethearts of
real life; because the women in the play
are like those we like to have around US
at home; because what they all say is
the speech of human beings and because
il shows American men and women OF all
classes as they really are. No better all
around cast has been seen here in many
moons, and it is worth going miles to
see. Arthur Maitland as the mayor, Fe-
liX Haney as Alderman Phelan, John
Moore as Boss HOrrigan, and Paul Byron
as Perry, are a quartet of players hard
indeed to beat in their respe ctive roles.

viii Try to Appeal.

When the decision was rendered, Meth
er the labor leaders nor their counsel
were present As forecasted by Mr.. Com
pers in recent issue of the Federation
ist, an attempt will be made to appeal
the case to the United States supreme
court
The right of appeal, however. is a mat
ter of controversy. Some attorneys hold
that as this decision finds the contempt
to have been a criminal offense, the court
of appeals would have the last say in the
matter. as it has of all criminal cases in
the District Of Columbia Others. how
ever. contend that as the constitutional
right of free speech and liberty of the
press is involved, the labor leaders may
prosecute an appeal.
No action will be taken towards the ar
rest of the men until the matter of the
appeal has been determined.
Dissenting Opinion.
Chief Justice Sheppard in his dissenting
opinion held to the view that the decree
should be reversed, because he was con-
