been indorsed by the state of Utah,

and the state public utilities commits

upon after several days conference
between railway official, officers of
the big coal companies, the Traffic
Service Bureau of Utah, and the gov
ernor and public utilities commission,
the conclusion being that the best in
terests of Utah would be served by
the consolidation and that il would
give the state another transcontinenal
line, which would bring about COM
petition and would inure to the bene-
fit of the entire people of the state.
Efforts and talk in the East have |
been to the effect that the Santa Fe |
wanted the Denver & Rio Grande
Western, but The conclusion OF those
best posted in the railroad world is
that, were the Santa Fe to obtain
the control, it would mean that the
country would be alb
solutely shut ont from benefit in any
