Truth is the most popular and the most closely read paper in Salt Lake. It publishes cold facts and eschews all misleading or biased statements. If you want to know what is going on in the Inside of politics, society, music and current oublic affairs generally you should read Truth. Its circulation is three times as great as any other secular weekly published in Salt Lake. Truths subscription lists are open to the inspection of the public. Investigation is invited o ; IN order to reproduce a bit of news, published exclusively in Truth four weeks ago, that Senator Kearns had Postmaster Thomas failed to get head, the Herald this week announced that a deal had been made by Senator Kearns and Postmaster Thomas, by which Thomas is to remain in the postoffice and Matt Dougherty is to stay put. All of which is bosh, pure and simple. The Idea of a deal between Thomas and Kearns is absurd. As a matter of fact, Kearns lost in his terrified at the shooting they allowed the robbers to escape, and only through the courtesy of one of the men writing the chief of police have the details become public. , nt i .$10,-000,0- I?

Manager. purchase price does not include the initial payment of rental on the lease on the terminal properties in Salt Lake City, which are leased by the San Pedro for' 999 years at an annual rental. The company will also pay cash between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 to the Empire Construction company and other companies for terminals, docks properties and 100 miles of railroad in southern California. The company expects to spend about $32,000,000 (or $106,666 per mile a good stiff price) in the construction of the remaining 300 miles of the road and in rolling stock. The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad has executed a mortgage to the Equitable Trust compNew York, as trustee under any,-of a first mortgage, or deed of trust, dated July 1, 1903, authorizing an issue of $50,000,000 4 per cent gold . , 50-ye- ar bonds. Continuing, the same authority, reviewing the transaction from a Union Pacific standpoint, says: The sale of that part of the Oregon Short Line south of Salt Lake to San Pedro increases the cash surplus of the Union Pacific to the extent of approximately $10,000,000. It is unreasonable to suppose that it will decrease the property assets of the company in the annual report of the year by a similar amount. The gist of the matter, from a Union Pacific standpoint, is that the company has sold at $20,370 per mile, a stretch of road that did not earn, net, anything like 4 per cent on that valuation per mile. The Utah & Northern, Utah Central and Utah, Nevada & California, which made up the bulk of this division of the Oregon Short Line have never been of any particular importance to the Union Pacific, except as they might ultimately become a part of a new Harriman trunk line to me Pacific. It is stated that speculation on the probable use that will be made of this $10,000,000 of cash is idle and will remain idle until Mr. Harri- man returns from- Europe. In the meantime it may be noted that recent ' - events in the far northwest indicate pretty clearly that Mr. Harriman will have use for that much cash and more witmn a very short time. It Is considered probable that before the end of the present calendar year announcements wiii be made of Mr. Harrimans intention with regard to the further development of Portland as a traffic . distributing point. In the .meantime the situation is as outlined, by Truth.
