Double TRACK RUSHED
Short Line Is Preparing to Start
Better Service to
Ogden.

Every effort is now being made by
the Oregon Short Line railroad COM
pany to complete the double tracking
of its road between this city and Og
zen. and in spite Of the extreme cold
weather several gangs Of men are now
At work on the line.
Railroad construction at this time Of
the year is a somewhat difficult propo-
sition, as the ground is frozen, but to
make grading possible several large
fires are kept going thawing out the
ground ahead of the grading parties.
The double track on the oregon Short
Line is complete for the greater por-
ton Of the way between the two cities,
and when entirely complete viii make
it possible for this line to give much
more frequent train service to Ogden.
ii Is understood that after the COM
pletiOn motor cars will be placed on
the Salt Lake-Ogden run and reESlar
interurban service viii be given be
tween the two cities. The increased
traffic over this line, both passenger
and freight. has made # necessary for
the double tracking. The Oregon Short
Line IS also double tracking its line
from MeCammOn to PocatellO, which
portion of the track does double service
carrying both the trains from Granger
and from Ogden into POcatellO. The
double tracking Of this portion Of the
line is about complete.

SHEEP NOT SUFFERING
So Says G. B. Stewart, Secretary
Of the Wool Growers As
ISOLATION.

''I have heard talk on the outside that
the sheep herds are suffering from the
present cold weather and the deep snow
but inquiry among all the sheepmen that
I have met within the past few days has
failed to result in any foundation for
such rUmOrs."
This was the answer Of c. B. Stewart
secretary of the Utah Wool Growers as
sOciatiOn yesterday, to the query as to
the present condition Of the hoCks.
so far as / have been able 20 asceF-
TAIN" Mr.. Stewart continued, there is
no extreme suffering among the herds. in
fact hardly more than could be expected
at this time Of the year. OF course, the
snow is deep in some places and it is
cold, but there has been no complaint
coming to US Of unusual severity. The
sheepmen on account of the recent storm
have been put to increased exertion In
order to supply feed. but that is the worst
effect the storm has had"
DR.. A. c. Young, state veterinarian, and
A. II. Callister, secretary Of the state
board Of sheep commissioners, sUbstanti-
ated Mr.. Stewart, and contradicted recent
street talk Of heavy losses in the herds
on account Of the snow and cold weather.
It has been stated as coming from sheep
men that the sheep IN the mountains are
suffering from the cold and lack of feed,
and that there is a heavy loss even at
this early stage Of the winter season.

men previously indicted might be re-

1t had been indicated that a confession
from some Of the men already known to
be involved in the sugar scandals was
expected. Whether the indictment an
tcipated depended on the reported con-
fessiOn could not be learned.
Meanwhile a definite development in
the sugar fraud eases was the arraign-
ment Of Ernest GebTacht. formerly su-
perintendent of the American Sugar com
pany's plant at Williamsburg, where the
men convicted last week were discOv-
cred underweighing sugar shipments to
defraud the customs.
Gebracht pleaded not guilty to an in

IN connection with these frauds. He was
given the usual two weeks time to with
draw his plea or demur, and continued
at liberty under bail.

City Council Averts Calamity
of Threatened Raise IN Oil

the Standard Oil company and its sub
sidiary organizations astounded the
council and there wasn't a protest
against digging hurriedly into the treas
ury and giving 1t back.
After the session was over, and the
panic had been averted, some Of the
councUmen felt that action on the mo-
mentOus matter had been rather hasty.
They, held that an investigation should
be made Of all moneys belonging to the
city to ascertain if that sS.47 had tainted
any Of the money scattered about the
treasury. AS this investigation would
entail an endless amount oe research by
baciln experts, no action will be taken
at the next meeting Of the council.

PARIS Probable Reward.

Agent Richard PARIS claim for a mOiety
Of the $2,I35, 4S6 recovered by the govern

at this port has been approved, it ap-
peared probable, from statements made
by Collector OF the Port William Loeb,
jT., today, that PARIS share in the funds
was not likely to be S1,O00,000, or any
thing approaching that sum.
'The law" said the collector, provides
that a sum not exceeding One-hah Of
the net proceeds shall be paid to the
person through whom such recovery is
made The government has usually been
very liberal in its rewards in such cases,
and 1 believe it is disposed to be so In
the case Of Mr.. Parr, whose services
have been very valuable

that Mr.. Parr has expended million
dollars or even several hundred thousand
dollars worth of energy in running down
the frauds which led TO the payment

been approved by Collector Loeb. They
did not think, however, it would be very
great.
