II. l'KMUKOKE, WHERE SHALL IT BE? Councilman Pembroke Clearly Defines H i-mposition on tho Joint Public Building. THE NIGGEB IN THE WOODPILE. The Plan it to Disgust the People First by Delay and then Throw the Building on the West Side. Salt Lake Citv, March 15th, 1S91. Editor Times: A councilman last Fri-day evening stated that I was opposed to all matters in tho council that I did Hot propose myself. The gentleman was mistaken, and without referring liim to the records for facts to contro-vert his statement I simply stated that what ho had said was untrue. This matter was in connection with the joint building discussion. I wish to state that I was not in favor af having any further to do with the Apponyi plans after their rejection in their originality, and was opposed to the proposition of employing Mr. Klott-ing- , or any one man, favoring more the calling for new plans at the hands of Salt Lake City architects. Hut on the ' floor of the council room I waived these personal objections, aud stated that I would vote to obtain a majority simply to facilitate an immediate start on the work. With this preface I can see nothing but the method of delay in all the mad-ness of endeavoring to defeat the orig-inal proposition by changing the site for the joint building. It was the common talk long ago that the building would never be put on the original site; that there were interests pertaining to what was termed the "west side" which were all potent, and It is generally conceded that these in-terests have been dominating the vacil-lating policy of tho respective commit-tees since. . Being on neither committee it has been impossible to take the intelligent vie'.v- - if the question which could be had 2.1 the close range of the committee room, and I shall be pardoned if I ask what has the joint committee accom-plished? Nothing but to present tho appearance of a first-clas- s game of "hide-and-seek- Let me review a few points, keeping in mind the fact that I am looking at them from a distance which, in this case, lends no enchant-ment. The first move was in throwing over-board the plans of Apponyi, because it was stated in substance that the ar-- , v "snngenient of the rooms was not satis-- ' ' factory; the main objections, I believe, coming from Judge Bartch. Tho next was the appointment of Mr. Kletting to revise the plans, and in the subsequent dealing with Mr. Kletting we find the work (I do, at least) of the now historic "Italian hand." A proposition was submitted by Mr. Kletting upon which ft contract was to be made. The pounty attorney drew up a contract which practically embodied Mr. K's fl 'J.' proposition, but it did not suit Mr. 11. i Bartch, and this gentleman constructed the document which Mr. K. objected to ''V eigo. A--J Why did ho object? Because there T wcie so many objectionablo and 1 exparte features contained therein 4 I that no reasonable man who desired to I act with justice to himself and all others I could have tolerated.. e To this document Mr. K. mado his objections, which were noted. No changes were made, however, covering the suggestions of the architect, and when, five weeks afterward, during which time no word was received by him that the matter was ready for his signature, the ex parte contract was submitted, and of course was refused. I was one who mentally censured Mr. K. for such action. But before a mem-ber of the county court and two mem-bers of the council Mr. K. took the submitted contract and pointed out the objectionable features and his own sug-gested modifications, and it was the unanimous sense of the three that Mr. Kletting's position was a just one. Now. why was the contract held back from Mr. K. five weeks, during which " . time he had kept his full force waiting jfofHfJJN'k to be inaugurated? And iwhy was it finally submitted without any suggestion that Mr. K.'s objections had had no consideration whatever? Did not fthe gentlemen of the committees know ,i .... Ithat a contract is a mutual agreement, and that this consummation would be impossible if they did not propose to agree to Mr. Kletting's suggestions? Then why did they wait five weeks be-fore determing to exclude these sugges-tions which, as stated, were determined to be most reasonable by the members of the council and court before men-tioned? This delay and final submission of conditions they knew could not be ac-quiesced in, certainly assists the theory that delay and the consequent disgust of aggressive, public spirited citizens would gradually yield to any eltort on the part of the interested "ones to de-feat the proposition of a joint building on one site, to build a separate city building on the east and a county build-ing on the west, providing any definite action should lie taken in commencing the buildings. "Aye, there's the rub!" and the pub-lic might as well know that we have in this city many men who would wreck the general interest to build up what ' they foolishly assume to be the individ-ual interest, and knowing this we can all begin to figure on the true cause of non-actio- in the joint building propo-sition. And now I desire to urge upon the attention of this class of business men: First This beautiful city of Salt Lake is too small in which to propagate the seeds of a west side, an east side, a north side or a south sido proposition. Second The man, whether he be a public official, a capitalist interested in any certain portion of the city or an ordinary, every-da- y "high private," who will generously help build up this city as a beautiful whole, without re-spect to special districts, will jU tho more help and encourage his individual interest. Now gentlemen, lot us end all petty strife and hereafter pull together iu good faith. My position on the site question is this: I think the Eighth ward square would be an improvement on the present site, and if all desire it and will work together in good faith to make the change and commence work at once, I will support it with all my heart.

Shaken From the llranohn of the Miner ud Iteoord. Lee RanshofT has concluded to make Salt Lake his home. The A. (). of II. will give a grand ball in the opera house tomorrow night by way ol celebrating St. Patrick's day. . Francis Smith of Muskegon, Mich., one of the executive board of the An-chor Mining company, is expected in the Park the latter part of tho month to attend a meeting of the committee. The Salt Lake Times is not forgot-in- g Park City in its "Mining Brevi-ties. " If Tub Times continues to re-member the Park, it is very likely that the people of the Park will continue to "keep their eyos on Tiik Times." Miner. Following are the shipment! of ore made during the week from the Mack-intosh sampler: Ontario, oL'5,tiO pounds; Daly, 02,000; Anchor concen-trates, 3H3.SIS0 pounds. The total for the week amounts to UG3,!I00 pounds. One of the Park's most prominent mining men remarked to the writer this week: "There is going to bean immense amount of money expended in development work in Park City this summer." From which we take it that ere the ides of November next the town will bo blessed by a number of new strikes. , M. K. Evans owns a group of valua-ble claims adjoining the Anchor, which he intends to open up this summer. Hoisting works will be erected, and a plant put in sufficiently largo to oper-ate a mine. The Park should congrat-ulate itself in having the attention and capital of such a man as Mr. Evans di-rected to it. He is what we term a "hustler," and always plays to win. Mrs. Jack Stark, accompanied by her sister, left for Aurora, 111., Thursday morning last, summoned there by the serious illness of another sister.

Eureka Chief. A few days ago Mrs. Merchant of Heaver, who was visiting relatives at Sigard, Sevcir county, started walking to the store, accompanied by her eight-year-ol-daughter. When they had gone a short distance a resident of tho town kindly offered them his horse and cart as the road was muddy and disa-greeable for pedestrians. When they had gono a short distance, one wheel of the vehicle passed over a rock and thus turned the conveyance completely over. The woman fell forward to tlio nigh side of tho horse, and as she held tightly to tho linen the animal was thus suddenly checked, causing it to slip and fall upon tho woman, crushing her completely under tho mud. The little girl, who received but slight injuries, ran tor assistance, but it was about seven minutes before a man arrived at tho place of disaster, and by cutting the harness relieved the horse and it arose from off tho body of tho woman. When the lady was withdrawn from the mud sho seemed to have swooned away. A messenger wcut to Salina for Dr. West, who immedirtely started for the scene of misfortune, but on his ar-rival he found tho lady dead. An ex-amination proved that her neck was broken.

The first consignment of cars will consist of eighteen coaches, and it is understood that if these provo satisfactory another big batch will be ordered.

The recent resolution adopted by the directors of the Salt Lake chamber of commerce and the transportation bu-reau which was to utilizo native pro-ducts whenever possible, and protest-ing against the railroads offering low rales for shipping cement iuto this cuy is attracting attention. This action was called forth by efforts to replace tho Utah article in the con-duit by other American cements. The rates made by the railroads heretofore have been niado only with a view of carrying tho English cements, which do not compete with native. Any reduc-tion made to cripple home industries should be resented by all of tho mer-chants. To be Constructed. "Tho Colorado Northeastern Is not a paper road," says Johu E. Godding who is interested. The board of di-rectors is made up of good, reliable men, and thoy alone, without any out-side help, would be able to build it. The line will run from Pueblo to Rocky l ord, aud from Rocky Ford to St. Fran-cis. The surveys have all been com-pleted and the grade stakes have been set. Thero aro no strings tied to the road; it is entirely independent of any-o- f tho trunk lines. Changes on the C, H. & O. W. K. Hodges, assistant to the gen-eral manager of the Chicago, Iiurling-to- & Quiuey, has resigued. John Dyer, auditor of passenger accounts, has followed suit. L. It. Hopkins has been promoted to the Jatter vacancy. It. S. Etnmett has been promoted to be paymaster and Thomas White assistant. Kailroail Notes. Last week 4.15 car loads of freight were received in this city. New ties are to bo placed on the Echo Park City branch line before long. Work was commenced on tho Deep Creek road today by throwing dirt near Lake Point. Something like 000 freight cars have been sent to southern California by the Santa Fo to carry tho orauge crop. F. Mertsheimer of Cheyenne, assist-ant superintendent of motive power and machinery, is in the city today. Ed Opdeyke, chief clerk to Superin-tendent W.H. Bancroft of the U. P.. severed his connection with the road last night. Conductor John Thalen is running between Ogden and Park City, and Conductor Fred Haight is an extra on the main lino. Tho statement that the roads run-ning to Leadville had made a reduction of $1 a ton on coal from all points to Leadville is incorrect. W. E. Halm of the Southern Pacilic company has returned from a trip to Nevada where he was looking after the local interests of his line, The Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska road will be sold at auction to satisfy tiie Rock Island's mortgage of $7,00(),-000- . The Gould syndicate is liable to become a purchaser, and thus kill off an active competitor of the Union Pa-cilic.

AlllG fimiLROADl Work to be Commonced This Week on the NewEoadin Which John Wi Young is Interested, NEW METHODS IN E. R. TICKETS. The Colorado Northeastern to be Built 0. B. 4 Q. Changes Points in General The organization of the Mexican Railway Development company, which held valuable franchises and conces-sions from tho Mexican government, has been completed and active opera-tions have already been commenced on ?he Chihuahua and Guerrero line. The main line from Doming to the Pacific coast is graded for about sixty miles, and track laying will be commenced from tho Doming end this week. The complete coutrol of the system has passed iuto the hands of John V. Young, who has made arrangements with English capitalists for the early completion of tho road. It is expected that trains will bo running from Dom-ing to Corralitos, 110 miles, by Septem-ber 1. Unlike the Mexican Central, which con-nects El Paso with the City of Mexico, the new lino passes through the richest sections of the Republic of Mexico. Near the northern boundary of the stato of Chihuahua, on either sido of the survey, lie some of tho richest min-eral districts on this continent. The northern terminus of the road has all the advantages of railway connection that the Mexican Central does at El Paso, and tho new route has tho advan-tage of a seaport terminus on the Pa-cific coast. The lino will bo eventually extended from Doming to Salt Lake City, but the route has not yet been de-termined. Tho system comprises over 1200 miles of proposed railroad in Mexico, and if the line is extended to Salt Lako City by the most direct route without refer-ence to tho advantages to be gained in increased local trallio by a longer lino which would pass through tho best portions of the country between Dom-ing and Salt Lake City the total length of thifentire system would bo consid-erably over 2U0J miles. Mr. Young has already secured a one-fourt- interest in the real estate owned by the Doming Townsito com-pany and prices of real estate have ad-vanced rapidly in the last few days. Doming already has two important railway lines, but this new outlet will make it by far tho most important rail-road point in the southwest. Of Interest to Shippers. Representatives of tho D. & R. G., U. P. and C. M. held a meeting in Denver tho other night and discussed the com-modity rate. On the through rate from the Mis-souri river to Salt Lake and Utah com-mon points, the lines east of Colorado get SH per cent on tho through rate, but on local business from Colorado common points to Utah, and Colorado. Utah lines get only 00 per cent of the through rate as their local rate. For instance, if the through rate from Kansas City to Salt Lake on a certain kind of goods was $1, tho lines east of Colorado would get ISTf cents, and the lines west, till cents, whereas, if the goods were shipped from Denver, the rate would only bo 00 cents, 2i cents lower than what their proportion of tho through rate would give them. The ef-fect of this has been that the Denver shippers had an advantage over the Kansas City shippers of just "J per cent of whatever the through rate might be. The object now is to make the local rate W1 per cent of the through rate the same as they get now on the through business. All tho roads represented consented to it. and it will go into effect soon, if the Kio Grand Western agrees to it. Tho Denver shippers will no doubt make a howl. J. II. Hennett of the Rio Grande Western was seen today by a Timed reporter and said: "Local rates as a rule are always higher than the proportion of a through rate. Several yoars ago the liio Grande Western arrauged with the Denver & Kio Grande to make local rates on goods manufactured in Pueblo the same as we would get as our proportion of a through rate on the same goods from the Missouri river, which at that time was (JO per cent. Recently the division of the Missouri river and Utah rates have been changed and the lines west of Pueblo get per ent, which is the same as they always got via Denver, and which makes it necessary that the local rate between Pueblo and Utah should be raised 2fr per cent, as the roads west of Pueblo would not be allowed more than their local rates. The only articles affected are those manufactured at the Pueblo ironworks. Thero is no change contemplated what-ever in general merchandise." A New Method. In compliance with the recommenda-tion of the general passeuger and ticket agents and accountiug otlicers of tho various roads of the country, mado at their meeting at Chicago recently, the Official Railway Guide for March has given each road a number, which will be printed on the tickets. The object of this is to assist the accounting officers in their work and to simplify the system generally. If a ticket is issued by the Santa Fe, for instance, to New York, the number given to the Santa Fe will appear on the Santa Fe coupon, and tho numbers of the other roads over which the ticket reads will appear on their respective coupons, so that the gatoinan, conductors and ac-counting officers, and all who have any-thing to do with handling the tickets, can tell at a glance all about them. 8ome Day. The K. G. W., says rumor, is work-ing to buy the Oregon Pacitio road, which is projected from Yaiiuina bay on the Oregon coast to l$oise City, Idaho, and build westward iromOgdcn, Utah, to connect with it, which would give them a first-clas- s transcontinental route. It is rumored that the Rio Grando Western company has had a special engineer at work for several months looking over the line and draw-ing up plans and maps to place before the directors. General Passenger Agent J. II. Bennett said this morning he thinks the scheme is an effort to boom realty. "Some day," said the gentle-man, "we may have a road to the coast."
