Some of the dein the mands of the property-owner- s are of the region proposed deopt just, and should be squarely and justly met by the railroad company; others are unreasonable and should be ignored by the city council. Some people think a railroad is fair game in all kinds of ways. The Rio Grande should be given a square deal just as the Short Line was. It has made some concessions by agreeing to protect the public by placing gates at some of the intersections and by stationing flagmen at others. The residents also ask that some protection be given from the dangers of the line north and south on Third West street. They also want the switches used for private purposes COMMERCIAL NATIONAL DANK removed before the other track is laid. . CAPITAL PAID IN, $200,000.

Salt Lake and Ogden are the centers for all this improvement work, and it means much for each city. Then the building of the San Pedros line below Calientes is already bringing hundreds of laborers to this state, so all in all the railroad outlook is very bright for several years of work with labor in strong demand. Time was when we would have been satisfied with one $100,000 union depot, but now we are likely to have two $250,000 buildings. Jt J It was rather amusng to read in the that Senator Clark was here for the purpose of talking over the plans for the union depot which he and the Short Line would erect, etc. Thats all bosh. The Short Line alone is going to erect a handsome structure which will be a credit to this city, and the San Pedro will rent at a fixed yearly rental, the privilege of running its trains into and out of it and trackage rights from Buena Vista and Sandy. As the purport of the contract whih the San Pedro signed whereby the independent line was made possible, is very well known to those well versed in current railroad matters it is really laughable to read the interviews witn Clark and learn what he is going to Only-Three-Ce- nt .
