their names be withheld. because
they have business interests In Ger

have been detained In Berlin for
three weeks. while their credentials

ESPEE GENERAL OFFICIALS
CALL ON LOCAL MERCHANTS

A party Of Southern Pacific officials,
composed of Charles S. Fee, general
passenger agent; John NJ Fulton, his
assistant, and T. +. Rowlands, superin-
tendent of the Salt Lake division, ar
rived in town yesterday afternoon, in
their private car, attached to No. 6. The
officials spent the balance of the even
ing in calling upon local business men
and left on No. 20 this morning for
Elko. They stopped in that town until
the arrival of No. 10 this noon, when
their car was coupled on and they went
on to Ogden. From that point Mr.. Fee
will return to San Francisco via Seat
tie, while Mr.. Fulton will return 20
Reno at his leisure.
The officials were looking over bust
ness conditions along the line of the
Southern Pacific and expressed them
selves as well pleased with the outlook,
especially in Nevada. The stimulus IN
the metal market oecasioned by the
European war has furnished the rail
road with a large additional freight
business and Mr. Fulton is authority foc
the statement that the passenger bust
ness for the first four months ON the
present year is in excess of that of the
corresponding period of last year.
