natural days pulling the bell cord on the U CIt C-It is reported that the Utah Northern is to be made standard gauge between Ogden and P catello by laying a third rail and ia to be i used as a connection between the I Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line via Ogden I In Pennylvania alone it is estimated esti-mated that 15000000 will 1 e paid out this year for railway couettuc f tion and equipment Just cjnaider the number of farniies this will assist as-sist and then raise the cry againt the railway General Passenger Agent Steb bins of the Union Pacific is making a strong effort to have the rates between be-tween Australia and Europe reduced re-duced by the overland route in connection con-nection with the Pacific Mail Steamship Steam-ship line to meet rates via the Suez canal Superintendent Arnold of the Ogden Og-den street railway expects to cjm plete that line from the depot to the bridge north of Main street and have two cars running in two weeks and will immediately commence pushing the track in this city from THE HERALD block to the Utah Nevada depot The offices of Superintendent Sharp and Secretary Swan of the Utah Central have been moved j from their former quarter to the set of rooms formerly occupied by the Horn Silver Mining C mpnny ever the Pacific Express office where the ever genial countenance of our friend Swan might be encountered Nearly all of the missionaries called st the last conference have taken their departure those for the Eastern atd Northern State3 and t Europe going via the Union Pacific andthofe for the Southern Spates taking the scenic route The Unon I Pacific has carried from fifty to I I sBventyfive and the Denver some twenty According to the Railway Age the Edgar Thomas Seel Works of PJttsburg turn out over 700 tons of steel rails everyday At this rate allowing 56 pounds per yard this one mill alone could produce enough rails per year to hy about 25OO miles of track and this is only one of the many mills in the country that can work the same cap seity For Eome reason the Tribune failed to notce the Denver R o Grande in its locals for two or three days owing probably to the formers publishing an account of the serious accident which occurred near Salida on the D R Q last week and in which accident some ten or fifteen passengers were more or less injured or is it not probable that i the railroad was compelled to cur tail the pass list of mine host Lan nan and thereby invoke his wrath In the east so great is the trouble I caused by railway I employees Belling I theIr wages to boarding house merchants etc that the railway companies are refusing to submit to ifc and threaten to discharge em ployees who resort to this practice This custom has been practiced in Utah to a more or less extent until our local companies found it neces Eary to stop it 8hortwhich they did but we are pleased to know that no discharge from this cause alone has yet occurred Owing to some considerable smuggling in having been carried on sleeping car it is probable con i ductors will ha the compelled tD make number or t the passengers tally with e number of tickets given him by the porter and in order to do this no will have to U count up after the weary traveler has retired To this many will no doubt object but 1 as it will not be 1 pasteboard perforator necessary to demand for the Qeg signature for a

change tbe Union Pacific is making alterations altera-tions on their schedule and it is said propose shortening the time between Omaha and Qgden fouror five hourf and inducing the Central Cen-tral Pacific to make close connection with them in order i is supposed to shut the D R G and as the Little Giant is hard pushed to make the time it is now running on and some of the Union Pacific people

others to whom if heeded it may prove of special value A locomotive engneer sends a copy of the following resolutions which he noted in his first time book when first promoted to the righthand side We wish all young engineers would learn the resolutions resolu-tions and endeavor to keep them Whereat Having this day been promoted from the rank of fireman to that of locomotive engineer and knowing that I thereby virtually take in my own hands many human lives and millions cf property be it Resolved That I will never EO long as eo employed taste one drop lor intoxicating liquor to muddle my brains That I will never while FO employed em-ployed visit a house of prostitution a gambling house dance house or any place of debauchery that will rob me of any rest whatsoever That I will never knowingly disobey dis-obey orders That I will never make oat a false report to save any mans job mine included That I will never join a strike except in the most aggravated case and not then until arbitration has been trlea more than once That I i will never believe I have learned it all but will always try to learn from those below me as well I as above That the golden rue shall be my railrcad religion That will never strike stock if I can stop and avoid it That I i will always spend at least S15 per year for useful mechanical mechan-ical reading That I will never refuse to tell a fireman all I can c f the business if he asks it Aiiizrican Machinist GRADING OF I OCO IOTIVE ENGINEERS ENGI-NEERS ON THE PENNSYLYAXIA It is a nearly every day occurrence cut local engineers complain of their hard luck either in being overworked over-worked or under paid but after a careful perusal of the following which we clip from an exchange the comparison will show their condition condi-tion to be most favorable irOn the Pennsylvania lines the enginemen are classified into four grades The new men are in the fourth class and it takes a year togo to-go through each class until the fourth year when they are called first class Engineers on helping engines receive from 255 to S b o Verdty depending on classification The men running through freight engines receive from S < J to 410 according to < < classification All passenger enginemen receive S3SO per day The passenger men have al a iul to ran mar y y as on freights before thfy are pro mated to run passenger a 11 as a result they ere cdnpeteto and careful care-ful men fully capaLue of performing the duties assigned them They must aso be thoroughly posted on the rules and regulations of the company and as the company have i 425 rules in their book of rues and regulations most Of which relate either directly or indirectly to the ruining of trains they must be well understood Most of their engine en-gine ra are pomoted firemen The fireman commences on the yard engine en-gine at 120 rer day From this work be is put on the extra list of road firemen and when freight is heavy he can earn fa r wages and if he fs attentive sober and industrious indus-trious he will get a regularengine to fire and his pay will be from lSD to 52 20 per day depending on the trip that he goes out on He is first I put on a freight engine then from that to a passenger engine At all times he is expected to use every endeavor to keep up the ne essary pressure steamtb fire so as to make the least amount of smoke and yet save as much coal as osaible Firemen Fire-men are allowed a certain amount of coal per car per mile and they receive re-ceive a cent per bushel for all tbit they save on that allowance the engineers en-gineers also receive a cent per bushel When firemen are needed those longest in the companys employ em-ploy are examined and if competent compe-tent are given an engine to run |
