Now ; . that the Oregon Short Line has secured its much desired fran--. chise at the hands of Salt Lakes council, work on the improvements, it is understood, will be commenced at an early date and pushed to completion. But with so many lengthy explanations as to the companys plans given from time to time the public is still somewhat in the dark as to what the franchise really means to this city. At present the Oregon Short Line passenger station is at Third West and South Temple streets and its freight terminal is at Its ;Third West and First South. shops occupy the land between Third West and Fourth West, South Tem. ple and First North.

Here the. Short Line will establish its dhop plant and it will be second to none in the West. The San Pedro will build no shops of its own here, but will have its work done by con- tract and piece in the big Short Line plant and part of the contract by which it got the south lines was to the effect that it would give most of its work of this character to the Short Line plant at Salt Lake, for which it will pay at regular rates. Thus it will be seen that while the shop work of' the Short Line at Salt Lake would be limited, with a contract to do the San Pedros work, the. local plant will be a large one. Apropos, this sets at rest the .various rumors about the San Pedros big plant now going the rounds in Los Angeles.
