Souvenir itinerary booklets, giving
the particulars Of the trip to be taken
to Los Angeles by the University of
Utah football team, have been prepared
by the passenger department. Of the
Salt Lake Route. Honor for the unique

the sophomore class at the university,
who furnished a drawing for the from.
tispiece Of the booklet.
The idea of having the time table
representative. Of a football field was
proposed by J. h Manderfeld, assis.
tant general freight and passenger agent
for the Salt Lake Route, and the plan
was worked out by r. b. Gray, assistant
city ticket agent for the company, with
the assistance Of Miss Rogers.

green contains map of the line Of the
Shortest route to southern Califor.

resistance.

manager, are included in the souvenir,
as is also the pet OF nickname by which
each OF them is known TO his fellows.

Would Reduce Cost.

The smelling Of the ore in Utah, it
is being urged. would prove more ad-
vantageous than to ship the ore TO a
smeltcr at a distance, for the reason
that the transportation charges would
be less than one-half rs great. The
presence of large coal deposits in Utah
insures cheap fuel for the smelters,
cutting to the minimum the cost OF
production,
Most of the iron deposits in Utah are
located at considerable distance from
the nearest railroad points, so that
construction of branch lines to tap the
iron fields would be necessary.
Today's meeting of the capitalists
who are forming the new company and
the local bankers and mining men will
probably be the concluding conference
in Salt Lake. The meeting will prob
ably adjourn after the plans for the
organization have been outlined and
the capitalists Will leave for their
homes tonight. The details of the
formation of the company will be left
to committee. The next meeting will
be held at Victoria, B. c., to complete
the final details Of the organization
and to choose the officers Of the com.
pany.
