SALTA|R SERVICE IS
GOOD, SAYS NELSON
General Manager of Road Re-
plies to Resolution of Com
missioner Keyser.

That the Salt Lake e Los Angeles
railroad, which runs between Salt Lake
and saltalr. will compare favorably in It's
tering Salt Lake or any other city is
the opinion of Joseph Nelson. president
and general manager OF the road. as ex-
pressed in a statement issued yesterday.
The statement was called forth by the
criticism OF City Commissioner George
d. Keyser, contained In restitution pre-
sented TO the city commission THURSDAY.
asking for an investigation Of the train
service on the Saltalr line. Mr.. Nelson $
statement is as follows.
We are willing TO have the train
service OF our road compared with
that OF any other road entering Salt
Lake, or any other city for that mat
ter. ] think our service Will compare
very favorably with that Of any other
road. and i believe this opinion is
shared by most of the railroad and
business men OF Salt Lake-at any
rate l am perfectly willing to let the
public be the Judge. Regular patrons
OF Saltair know that our schedule Is
lived up to strictly except upon very
rare occasions.
The trouble We had last week,
which is undoubtedly the basis Of Mr..
Keysers criticism, was caused by one
Of our trains running through defec-
tive switch on piece OF track which
we do not and cannot control, as il
belongs to another company and we
use it only through an arrangement
with them. The dersling Of our train
naturally caused some delay, but
matters were righted In a very short
time and the regular schedule re-
sumed Some Of the inconvenience
10 which our passengers were sub
jected could have been avoided ex
cept for a delay In securing telephone
communication with our Salt Lake
station, another cause beyond our
control,
In regard TO our lack Of adequate
facilities. all can say Ia that Salt
Lake is growing very rapidly and the
tourist business is multiplying, which
makes II difficult at times for us to
handle the crowds However under
the circumstances, I think most peo-
pie Will agree with me that we can
hardly be expected TO purchase addi-
tional equipment for our steam road
when the public is almost una nimous
In demanding an electric road to Salt
air Personally. i hope the time is
not far distant when the city COM
mission will grant us a franchise that
VIII permit us TO clectrify the road
and thus eliminate our difficulties

WELLS-FARGO COMPANY
TO REDUCE ITS RATES

Although he has received no definite

ments from this vicinity Ellsworth e.
McMichael, general agent Of the local
Wells-Fargo Express company, declares
that the reported plans Of his company
to fight the parcel post with low rates
is in line with the work Of reducing
rates all over the country. An Asso.
ciated Press dispatch from Chicago
yesterday afternoon stated that the
officials and agents of the express com.
pany in session there had decided to
start war upon the parcel post and
had stated that other express compa.
nies contemplate similar action. When
seen last night Mr. McMichael said:
Lower rates on express packages
are going into effect soon, all over
the country as the result of the
order, issued about q month ago
by the Interstate commerce com.
mission, However, these rates will
not be In working order until the
several companies change their
tariffs. AS to the fight on the par
eel post, while ] have received no
official instructions, / am sure that
the company plans to put lower
rate on some things that hitherto
have gone mostly in bulk.
