not oppose the plan we do not regard the

fully explained to Governor Brady"
Local officials of the Hartman svs-
TEN saH they never entered into an
agreement with Governor Brady TO run
a special train, They say that while the
matter had been taken up and consid
cred there never was al agreement. They
furthermore declare that while the rail-
road was willing 10 do its part in ad :
yertisinG the west. the amount Of money
contributed by tho various states was not
sufficient TO warrant running n special
train. So far as Utah is concerned II Is
said that this state Is ready with its cx
hibit and its money.

showing than any state in the west; said
