EXCURSION TIME NEAR
Salt Lake Route Passenger Agent Re
cefves Circular Authorizing
Sale of Low Rate Tickets.

J. H ManderfIeld, assistant general
freight and passenger agent Of the
Salt Lake Route, yesterday received a
circular letter authorizing the sSle of
six months excursion tickets to south
ern California, good over the Southern
Pacific and good for return over the
Salt Lake Route after June Is. This
order applies TO all stations on the
line
Work in the Meadow Valley wash is
being pushed with all possible vigor.
More than 1000 men are being worked
in different gangs in an effort TO get
everything in readiness for the reopen
ing of the line June IA, when the first
passenger trains since December 30
last Will be run over the line from Chi
cago to Los Angeles.
orders have been issued for the re-
opening of every office in the country
that has been closed during the wash
out. The first of June will find every
employee of the Salt Lake Route at his
post. There will be new faces along
the line, but the new men will not be
new at railrOading- The Nashout gave
the officials a chance to weed out the
undesirables, and it has been done with
great consistency.

WANT SAFE DEPOSIT PLACE

A postal savings bank minus the in
terest features, but with full confidence
in Uncle Sam, has been instituted by
foreigners in Salt Lake. At the pres
ent time over $4,000, according to the
statement of Postmaster Arthur L.
Thomas, lies in the local postoffice as
as a result of the bank"
Just when the system started and
just who started it are matters of spec
ulation, but a large number of foreign
laborers, following the example set by
a few something over a year ago, have
deposited cash in the money order de-
partment in their own names. They
have taken out postal orders to them
selves.
Far from accruing interest, this sys-
tenn is costing the depositors something.
1t amounts to so cents for every 800.
but that does not feaze the foreigners
when 1t comes to the matter of making
deposits.
Postmaster Thomas says that as
much as $4,000 has been placed with
the money order department at one
time and that within the last week
$1,000 was withdrawn by one person,
his various postal orders being taken
up
Unless the orders are called for with
In year the local Salt Lake office is
barred from honoring them and the
matter then has to be taken up with
the pOstOffice department at Washing
ton, though of course there is no such
thing as the depositor losing his money.
Although 1t is a comparatively COM
mon practice for persons who are about
to start on a journey to send money TO
themselves the order reading that the
money shall be collected at the OBJ
Jectlve point of their trip, this idea of
taking out orders payable right at
home is new.

WESTERN PACIFIC
NOT MAKING MONEY
Streak of Hard Luck Will Com
pei D. & R. G. to Pay
Interest.
LATTER ROAD PROSPEROUS
HAS FULL TREASURY AND
EARNS BIG DIVIDENDS.

In view of the hard luck which the
Western Pacific has been up against
on account of washouts, which have
tied it up so that no traffic has been
possible for more than six weeks and
which have reduced the revenues and
increased operating costs, there ap-
pears to be reasonable assurance that
the Denver & Rio Grande will on Sep
TENDER 1 be called upon to make good
the whole amount due for interest on
Western Pacific bonds. This amounts
TO $3.50, 600, representing the Semi-an-
nual interest on the $5O,000,00O first 5s.
This the d. & R. G. company will
have no difficulty in meeting, as its
treasury is well, supplied with cash
and the company promises to show a
surplus of $1,000, 600 after dividends for
the year to end on June 80 next are
paid.
Little information is allowed to get
out concerning earnings of the Western
Pacific, although the property has now
than five months 1t is presumed the
management considers such informa-
ton belongs solely to the only stock
holder, the Denver & Rio Grande rail-
road. which owns all the $4,000, 900
Western Pacific stock.
The rainy season is now over and
Western Pacific should make a better
showing. Its advantage IN grades
should allow ii to make better time
to San Francisco than the Southern
Pacific. For few days in early April,
before the last severe Washout, freight
from and to Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco was going through in three and
One-half days.
There is small possibility that it can
contribute any part of its earnings to-
ward paying charges this fiscal year,
and this is perhaps too much to eX-
pect of a new line through an I'M
developed country At any rate, the
roads prospects would appear to jus
tify the Denver & Rio Grande going
into its treasury to meet the guaran-
tee until such time as the road can
earn its own keep and fixed charges.

Girls and the Cadets Drill

ously applauded.
The drill of the cadets was under
the direction Of Capt. William G.
Webb, and the band, stationed at the
edge of the parade ground, played
stirring marches while military evolu-
lions were executed.
While the cadets were changing
from fatigue to full dress uniforms,
the girls of the gymnasium class APP
peared on the field and. gave graceful
exhibitions Of calisthenics, drills and
quaint folk dances. The appearance
of the athletic girls with dumb-bells
and in the dances formed a pretty
spectacle and applause greeted every
evolution until the large class went
scampering from the field.
Governor Spry and his staff inspect
ed the cadets on dress parade, after
they had come to q present arms, y
with the cadet band at the right wing
of the battalion formation. The
youngsters never appeared to better
advantage.

C0KER AND WARD WIN.
Secretary of Interior Grants Their
Claim to Land.

Notice was received here yesterday
by the United States land office of
the granting by the secretary of the
interior of a portion of sections and
3, township south, range 1 west, to
Napoleon Coker and Charles Ward, in
the contest between them and Douris
Davis and Aaron T. Clayton in the mat
ter of conflicting claims.
The land was in the Utah Lake reser-
voir site in Utah county and was
withdrawn under an order TO take eff
feet April IL, 1889. The order for res
toration was made October 5, 1909, de-
claring the land open to settlement
January 4, 1910 and to entry in the
land office February 8, 1919. The
claims of Coker and Ward were al
lowed on the ground that Davis and
Clayton had inadvertently settled on
land to which the government had no
title and on finding this out had set
tied on other land to which other per-
sons had prior claims.
