Sloan, avals tan t geceral freight agent of the Salt Lake Route, who ia In tbe city attending tba meeting of traffic men. will return to Le Angalea tonight. ' Mr. Sloan aays that business waa never batter on his Una and the outlook for tha coining wiatar is exceptionally good. Mr. Sloan explained why his company prefer pre-fer the route to be known ae tba Salt Lake, rather than the San Pedro. "When .the road waa first operatad. freight would be billed vis the Saa Pedro. Billing clerka would shorten this to f. P.. which ts tbe contraction contrac-tion for Southern Pacific. For thia reason much freight destined for our line was sent over tba Southern Pacific instead. We bad to aend c'rcuiars all over the country, calling attention to tba name Salt Lake Route, so aa to insure tha proper billing of freight intended in-tended for us. Besides that we ars rather partial to Salt Lke anyhow." |
