Show - , r . ALT I.AKK TUB TBRMIM S. That part of Superintendent Bancroft's Ban-croft's programme relating to through trains to Salt Lake City over the Utah Northern railroad, is coutirnipd at headquarters head-quarters in Omaha, Instead of Ogden the terminus of that road will hereafter be in this city. The next chango in the same dirertion will be with regard to the main line of the Union Pacific, Mr. Bancroft is in Omaha arranging the details, which will doubtless go into elfecl within a few days. Wo never credited the statement that the company intended in-tended to retaliate on Salt Lake because be-cause of our efforts to right thy wrong committed upon us in the discrimination discrimina-tion of freight and passenger rates. Corporations have proverbially uo souls, but corporations cannot afford to bile off their own nose to spite their face. Salt Lake is too big and too important a point to be Ignored without injury to the company pursuing so shortsighted a policy. Without the least hostility to Ogden, we believe that Salt Lake City ought to have chief and first consideration considera-tion in the matter of railroad priority as the metropolis of this inter-mountain region, re-gion, and as things are shaping themselves them-selves we believe she is in a fair way of getting it. |
