It Is thought that the move will take place not later than the middle of March and perhaps before if the shops can be completed. The shops alone will give employment to 750 men, while sixty train orews will make headquarters at the new division point. A crew consists of five men an engineer, fireman, conductor and two brakemen.

Lino Between Ogden and Green River to Be Transferred to Former Company. The Deseret News of last evening says it has It from a source that the recent hasty trip of Vice President Bancroft of the Oregon Short Line io New York City was for the purpose of making final arrangements for turning over a portion of the main line of the Union Pacific- to the Oregon Short Line. It has leaked out that It was the Intention on January 1st of this year to cut down the mileage of the Union Pacific and all that portion of the Wyoming division of the Overland which lies between Green River and Ogden was to have been tacked onto the Oregon Short Line. This program, it Is said, was resisted by Mr. Burt, and It was one of the factors that led up to his retirement The original program Is to be carried anout however. It is nounced, and Just as soon as a successor to President Burt Is chosen and a general manager named, the change will go Into effect This will result In adding 177 miles to the 1,225 already owned and operated by the Short Line system. While there is nothing definite forthcoming at this time and while General Manager W. H. Bancroft and Assistant General Manager E. E. Calvin both state that they have not been notified of the purported change. It is affirmed that the Harrlman slate in New York is that this order will go Into effect on the first of next month or the 15th of February. It Is significant, however, to note that the handbook heretofore issued quarterly by the Oregon Short Line wherein are set forth lists of officers, station agents, equipment, mileage and other details, has not been printed for six months past and the forms are being held pending numerous changes. Aside from the union depot feature at Ogden and the short haul on Diamond vine coal to the Utah and Southern Pacific market there are other reasons why the change would be a good semi-offici- al &$$$$ There A large is lr cent Great Authenti cated Haestic Record Ranges of are used a fiiim - seml-officlal- of no lo to Great 25 Majestic Range years with ever Wearing the original put. grate. ly one. The matter has been under consideration, for some time by Mr. Harrlman and his advisers. Among other things It is sn!d that Mr. Harrlman has been watching the administration of Oregon Short Line affairs with a great deal of Interest and satisfaction. In comparison with the Union Pacific the Oregon Short Line has had little trouble with its men in any department, no wrecks and a decidedly better track at less cost of maintenance. These are the essentials which tell In the operation of a railroad. The fact that Mr. Harrlman is about to acquire the Chicago & Alton for the Union Pacific Chicago outlet, also may have something to do with the changes that are scheduled for the near future. The official announcement Is expected at any time and Is being eagerly looked for by those connected with the Oregon Short Line. In the meantime the freight department is working overtime at the local headquarters revising tariffs and making mysterious reports. There was a special meeting of the directors of the Union Pacific at the Broadway, New York, headquarters on Tuesday. It is understood that at the meeting the new general manager of the Union Pacific was named, or at least agreed upon. As to who he Is, however. Is all speculation at this time. Several names are being freely used, including Messrs. Bancroft, Calvin Huntington and others, but nothing definite will be known until the official announcement is made by Mr. Harrlman. Among the rumors that are rife In railroad circles today are the following: W. II.

Meeting Planned for Conference With Government Expert on Utah Lake Improvement. Chief Hydrographer Newell has nounced that he will be In Salt Lake next Wednesday to learn what the Salt Lake valley land owners wish to do with regard to the government undertaking the Improvement of Utah lake. The general feeling among the farmers In the valley is that the proposed government project should be pushed through to speedy completion. The farmers are united in the matter, feeling that the approval of the project by the reclamation bureau stamps it as a good thing for the land owners. A general meeting place will probably be decided on for some hour of the day on which Mr. Newell will be In Salt Lake, so that a perfect understanding may be reached.
