Show i The Union Pacific Coast Line I Chief Engineer Bogue of the Union Pacific Pa-cific has rived in Denver in his special car No 0 His arrival was several day earlier than expected The cause of hia I trip t Denver at this time is the award of a portion of the big shop contract Mr Bogue received telegraphic advices from the officials at Omaha Tuesday that B Lantry of Strong city Kan had been awarded the contract for constructing the roundhouse boiler shop and several other smallerbuildings of the new shops Work will be commenced next week on the roundhouse and turn table said Mr > Bogue to a reporter at the Windsor hotel last evening I So not care to give the figures but he had the lowest gve and is considered a good contractor The plans of the entire plant as published in yesterdays yester-days News are virtually correct with the possible exception that a few alterations in the minor buildings will be made I was very much surprised to see the whole designs in the Ketcs as the matter had been kept profoundly secret but it is now time thatthe public should know the magnitude of the work to be commenced by the Union Pacific The contracts were not let in Denver last night as stated in another paper I got advices from Omaha yesterday for the roundhouse contract Mr Lantry got it The other buldings will be erected later As to whether Lantry will get the contract con-tract for the whole plant Is not certain The roundhouse will have sixty stalls The site chosen is the one already designated desig-nated in your paper As to the cost I think your previous estimate of 900000 will cover i When asked as to the prospect of the Valverde switching tracks Mr Hague was reticent but did not deny the rumor that they would be built as soon as the injunction injunc-tion was disposed of and the prejudice of property holders overcome How about your trip across Southern Nevada in a buckboardS was asked the chief engineer Mr Bogue was taken somewhat by surprise sur-prise and reached for his overcoat saying that he had an engagement and would have to be excused Finally he yielded to pressure pres-sure aud responded Jwill not state whether or not the Unlori Pacific is going to build an independent indepen-dent line from Frisco Utah toBarstow Cala However I went over the line of the preliminary survey which I will admit ha been made between the two points The line runs from Frisco the southern terminus of the Utah Central in almost a direct life across Southern Nevada to Bar stow Gala I went across overland not long ago and think it a good survey Now I wont say anything more about i but the survey has been made and I suppose some day it will be constructed i necessary neces-sary to cut loose from the Southern Pacific Pa-cific as you express It Really now youll have to excuse me and I dont want to figure in any long winded interview What I have given you are facts I am going to Omaha tomorrow concluded con-cluded Mr Bogue as he treaded over the hal carpet and stopped at the head of the staircase I there are any new developments develop-ments for publication I will give them to youThe interview with Mr Bogue fully substantiates sub-stantiates the extended and complete account ac-count of the big shops together with the yesterday illustrated morning plans that appeared in the News By the way this paper can justly get hold of the word exclusively and apply It appropriately ap-propriately to the three important railroad eventsof the week namely the Moffat interview in-terview the Collbran interview and the News Jnioa Pacific shops at Jersey Denver |
