Show TO END THE SEASON. Sunday Will Be the Last Day For Garfield Beach Until Next Spring. s SH0ET FLASHES FE0M THE BAIL. Huntington Will Try and Force the Sale of the Western A Wail From Logan Personal, and Notes. Garfield beach will be closed on Monday Mon-day for the season. This give but two days after today and from the chill of the atmosphere it does not seem that any great crowd will avail itself of this last chance. The season has been a most successful success-ful one. Never in its history has the beach been daily thronged by such crowds of visitors. The people of Salt Lake have the promise of the company that if the season's sea-son's business at Garfield show a bal-lance bal-lance in favor of the company, some extensive improvements in I ho accomodations accomo-dations will be made there next season. Although the officials claim that the resort re-sort has heretofore always been operated oper-ated at a loss, it is scarcely possible that they will be able to put in a plea of that kind this year. A big hotel at Garfield is needed badly bad-ly as are also better bath house accom-dations. accom-dations. Sunday, however, will be the last day of the season and it is not probable that much more will be heard of the matter until next spring. Huntington's Little Scheme. Says the Denver Republicans The greatest railroad deal ever consummated consum-mated west of the Missouri river is rapidly rap-idly approaching a full conclusion. Not only will no other western purchase compare with it in importance, but it is doubted if any eastern transaction of 1890 will co'.iparo with it. It is stated that the Anunt purchase of the Midland by the Santa Fe system was but the leader to one of the most gigantic transactions trans-actions known in railroad annals. The announcement of the proposed visit of C. P. Huntington to the west, and recent re-cent revelations in the eaet, especially Wall street, have let the cat out of the bag. by William C. Miller, Lieutenant-Governor Smith and others is identical with the scheme now put on foot by the Denver & Rio Grande people. It is even hinted by some persons that the engineering parties thought to bo sent out by the Denver & Rio Grande are in reality sent out by the parties previously previous-ly mentioned who, it is known, are very closely connected with the latter company. Chairman Walker's Call. Chairman A. F. Walker has issued a call for the seventh quarterly meeting of the interstate commerce railway association as-sociation to be held at Chicago October 15. Accompanying the call is an address ad-dress to the presidents, in which Mr. Walker presents his views as to the proper solution of existing railway problems. He declares t he roads should discard independent action inviting competitive rates, should relieve their traffic departments from the responsibility responsi-bility of making rates, and should put the whole subject of their establishment in the hands of a central agency responsible re-sponsible directly to the presidents and directors of the associated lines. This agency he refers to as a small general rate committee, and in addition, he says that it would be well for the roads to seriously considor the question of placing plac-ing their entiro joint traffic to and from the eastern connections in Chicago a common agency, either a single individual indi-vidual or a joint stock corporation. The purpose of this arrangement would be to provide a means of equali.ing t radio botween competing lines. Incidentally enormous expenses, he believes, could be put to an end. A Wall From Logan. Here is a wail from the Logan journal: jour-nal: The service is improving remarkably, remark-ably, lsefore the new grade was established, estab-lished, we had to change cars at Ogden to go to Salt Lake. Now we change them three times. At Deweyville, from the narrow jim crow to the broadgauge jim crow; and at Ogden from a broad-gauge broad-gauge jim crow to a broadgauge jim crow. For clean management commend com-mend us to the U. P. and its branches. Railroad Notes. Mr. Ecclos of the Union racilio returned re-turned last evening. There is a very general freight car famine throughout the mountain territory. ter-ritory. The Logan (station earned about $17,000 for the Union Pacilic company last mouth. Mr. Bacon says emphatically that the Union Paciiio has nothing to do with the Deep Creek road scheme. The Union Pacific has made a otS fare round trip rate to Pocatello for the races thore on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th inst. The Southern Pacific conductors and brakemen have had an advance in wages which is about 15 per cent higher than formerly. There are prominent railway officials in Denver who think they can trace a notable and significant beginning of a long campaign of railroad generalship In the purchase of the 'Frisco property by the Santa Fe. Through the instrumentality instru-mentality of this deal C. P. Huntington became a large owner of Atchison stock. Wall streot speculators claim to have unmistakable evidence of the authenticity au-thenticity of this assertion, and it is also generally believed that Jay Gould and Russell Sage also became large owners In the system. When this is considered, the significance of the purchase pur-chase of the southwestern lines is clearly apparent. This opened up also a new field to the powerful triangle for their aggressive campaign further to tho north, through the instrumentality of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. As a cardinal principlo of modern railroad rail-road kings, especially when consummating consumma-ting gigantic combinations, is to conduct all their negotiations as nearly incognito as possible, the purposes of the Sunta Fe purchase of the Midland have been enveloped in darkness. As the facts become known, railroad officials from Kansas City to San Francisco commence to see what thoy believe is the true inwardness of the unprecedented unpreceden-ted operations which havtt been conducted con-ducted under their noses without previous pre-vious explanation. As Gould, Sago aud Huntington were the conceivers and perfectors of the 'Frisco transaction and, through that medium, secured a grip on the Atchison, they also fosterod the Midland negotiations and were the principals in bringing that road under the control of the former. The facts substantiating these reports are too authentic to admit of question, mon iu Denver railway circles say, and it is claimed they simply mean, now, that the true color of tho ' horse is revealed, re-vealed, that Messrs. Gould, Sage and Huntington are trying to force the sale of tho new Rio Grande Western. Such, in short, is the purpose of the proposed trip to Collis P. Huntington to the west. Out to Survey. Says the Rocky Mountain News: A party of about fifteen Denver & Rio Grande engineers left yesterday in wagons for Evergreen, where they will continuo their surveys on the routo to Dillon. For a couple of months past engineers have been kept in the field and beforo cold weathor sets in they will in all probability have a route selected. The matter has been kept a close secret, because be-cause the company did not want the South Fork and other roads to get scent of their scheme before it was far enough underway to preclude the possibility pos-sibility of interference. The Union Pacifio is very much interested to know just what the Denver & Rio Grande is going to do, - and has engineers out watching: Some persons who have been interested inter-ested in the matter for a good while are of the opinion that the road projected |
