PRESIDENT LOvfTT TAKES OPTIMISTIC VIEW
Head of Great Organization Says Unfavorable
Conditions at Present Obtaining Will Soon
Be Over; Work in Utah, Idaho and
Nevada Will Be Pressed With
Utmost VigOr

Seventy-five million dollars is %
be spent on the Hartman system
between the Missouri river and the
Pacific coast, as rapidly as the
work can be prosecuted. This i'm
mense sum is to BE- expended IN
double-tracking the Hartman
lines, in order to accommodate the
largely increased traffic that has
accrued since the roads went un-
der the control of Mr.. Hartman
some years ago This welcome
news came in Tuesdays Associat-
ed Press dispatches.
Beginning at Omaha, the Union
Pacific will be double-tracked to
Ogden, and the Southern Pacific
will be double-tracked from Og-
den to San Francisco. In addition
the Oregon Short Line will be
double-tracked from the junction
with the Union Pacific at Granger,
Wyo., to Huntington, Or, as well
as the Columbia river line to Port
land.
The amount to be expended in this
great Improvement is so large that the
average mind can hardly grasp it, but
the average mind can readily grasp
what the expenditure of this immense
sum means to Utah and the other states
which will be the benefciaries.
W. Fl. Bancroft, vice president and
general manager of the Oregon Short
Line. and one of the trusted heuten-
ants Of the late E, II. Hartman, could
not be reached last night for his opin-
ion, but the Associated Press dispatch
was read to T. H. Knickerbocker. assis-
tant to Mr. Bancroft, who made the
following statement:
Follows Out Hartman Policy.
"While the dispatch is news to me,
it is no surprise. 1t has been we'll un
derstood among the officers of all of
the Hartman lines that the policy OF
Mr.. Hartman would be continued
That policy was to improve every line
until there was nothing in the railroad
world to equal them. Much double
tracking already has been done on the
lines in the west in the last two or
three years, and more has been pro-
vided for. For example, the Oregon
Short Line will complete its double
track between this city and Ogden dur
ing the present year, and it will lay
at least fifteen miles of double track

west of Pocatello. Some OF the exten-
sions which the road will make in Idaho
already have been told in The Tribune.
The dispatch from New York simply
means that the Hartman lines In the
west are not only going to keep up
with the growth of the country, but
are going to materially augment it. 1t
is good news, the kind that every citi.
zen should rejoice in.
The Improvements contemplated In
the dispatch are the most stupendous
ever undertaken by a railroad in the
world.
The statement of Judge Lovett
which accompanies the Associated Press
announcement will be read with inter
as by every investor in railroad stock,
and the people of the country at large.

Pacific and Southern Pacific lines today
voted to complete double ira cking OF the
lines from the Missouri river to San
track The Oregon Short Line from the
junction with the Union Pacific main line
at Granger, Wyo.i to Huntington, Ore.
also the line along Columbia river in Ore
The cost OF the double ira cking OF the
lines as determined upon today will ag-
grcgate upwards OF SIS, 100000. which Will
be distributed over period OF five years.
In statement accompanying the an
nouncement OF the doub tracking prof.

mented on the reasons which had i'm
PEELED the roads TO reach their decision
and declared the belief of himself and his
associates that present conditions. con-
sidered unfavorable TO the railroads, were
but temporary.
President Lovett said that by July
the lines west of Omaha would have
about $50 miles OF double tracks.

City at Golden Gate Defeats
New Orleans in Contest for
Worlds Fair.
CALIF0RNIANS SURE THAT
SENATE WILL RATIFY VOTE
Exciting Scenes in House of
Representatives While Roll
Is Being Called.

After the house of representatives
yesterday gave San Francisco 25e votes
and New Orleans only 43, Californians
considered they had won the Panama
exposition and celebrated accordingly.
The senate. however, has yet to pass
upon the matter, but friends of the
Crescent city have little hope they can
wrest the prize from the metropolis by
the golden gate.
One of tile considerations was that
New Orleans asked an appropriation OF
S1,O0o,O00 from the federal government
while San Francisco merely asked that
the federal government invite nations
to attend.
When the result of the vote was an
nounced in San Francisco jubilee was
held The celebration was one Of the
most remarkable ever held in any city,
Frank L. Brown, chairman Of the ex-
position publicity committee, tele-
graphed The Tribune expressing gratlfi-
cation and thanks for the aid rendered.
In Salt Lake everyone is glad the
western city seems about to snatch the
prize. With the location Of the fair
in San Francisco, thousands Of tourists
will stop over in Salt Lake.
