Clark Says the Salt Lake Union Paoifio Superintendent's Superin-tendent's Offioa AND THE DISPATCHER'S OFFICE May Possibly be Moved to Ogden, but the Company's Shops Will Stay Here. General Manager S. II. II. Clark of Omaha says the Union Pacific superintendent's superin-tendent's and the dispatcher's ollice will probably be removed from Salt Lake City to Ogden. He says the change will not be made because the people of Salt Lake have been kickiug about freight and passenger rates; on the contrary, the change was determined deter-mined on some time ago, before anything any-thing was said about rates. "When I took charge of tho road I saw at once that the ollice of the superintendent of the mountain division was in the wrong place- and I suggested that as soon as the change could be conveniently conven-iently made the ollice be removed to Ogden." There has never been any intention of removing the shops or any other ollice, except that of superintendent-and superintendent-and probably that of the dispatchers. Tho change will be made for purely business reasons. The otlico will not be removed because it is at Salt Lake, but because it should be at Ogden, and it would be removed there without regard re-gard to its present location, simply because be-cause common sense and the principles of railroading demand that it should be at that point. Thus it will be seen hour utterly unreliable un-reliable was aud are the statements made by the Vale Lock edition. By his effusions in yesterday morning's sheet he pictured himself shivering shiver-ing before General Superintendent Bancroft who told him the cold facts that the shops will not be removed from Salt Lake to Ogden. If the Yale scribe would only give more of his time to recording the truth he may become reliable in spite of his possessing a sheepskin. The public pays for news, tho whole news aud reliable news and wants nothing but this. Through II. P. Weeper.
