SALT LAKE CITY Sept 22.-The hearing

Salt Lake Commercial club traffic bureau
against the various railroads entering this

trary, oppressive and exceptional transpor-

Much interest attaches to the hearing as

Water competition" said Mr.. Munroe.
governs the matter of rates to a great ex-
tent, and the water competition cannot be
viewed as only IN existence at points where
the water runs, but has its effect on inland
points"
Mr.. Munroe also thought that mileage
was not the proper basis on which TO fig
ure rates, but that topography, cost of
maintenance and water competition should
be considered. He said it would be highly
desirable If the different rates maintained
on what is known as classes and com
modities could be abolished and only one
general rate established which would be
fair and equitable for all concerned
1T would be a happy consummation, he
said, ''if all these burdensome matters OF
difference in rates could be done away
with by order of the commission, but moth
ing short of the millennium can bring such
a condition about and I doubt IL even that
could do So"

Some Poetry on Pauline.

The chief and fire boyswant to pay,
Their compliments in way,
To all participants in the play,
OF Pauline, or an Eventful Day.
The queen. Pauline, was never excelled,
And Guile, the servant, was simply
swell,
While dear old Chickie, you all know
her well,
And Kioma, the fortune teller, a
lovely Indian belle.
Maine, the village belle, with her flag
and song,
Brought down the house and the
cheers along,
While the mother with her weeds and
Touched all hearts, making many
cry.
The child, sweet little girl of eight,
In acting her part was never beat,
While Faber, the New York journalist
and star,
Was just like Hobson, talking of
war.
Shady, the colored valet, was there,
@Auo Soootby' piO idh0lOi0 Mluil
rooms to spare,
While the professor in his inimita BILE
way,
Made love to chickie and won the
day.
Chilkoot Ike from the cold Klondike,
And Rueben, the farmer gay,
The village physician with his nedi-
cine case,
All did fine and greatly helped the
play.
Uncle Joe, the faithful old negro man,
, Found his long lost folks that day,
w lille the spies and buns, they came
along,
And won the encore fthe play.
The chorus girls were simply fine,
And looked so sweet and gay,
While the grenadiers, all dressed in
line,
And skinney's song gained the day.
In conclusion, our thanks we give,
To the one who held full sway,
And against unheard OF impossible
ties,
Mrs. Efie, who got up the play.
