Fight Yet to Oe Made. Dut thoro is a fight to bo mado yet by Cache people In ordor to got still '. cheaper coal. Cache people on tho ' " branch Hue, and ovon on the main lino In some Instances, are still paying twonty-flvo cents more for tholr coal than Ogden and Salt Lako people Coal time passes from tho north through Cncho Junction and goes on down to Ogden and Salt Lako Is charged twonty-flvo cents loss for, than coal transferred to Cacho points and carried only n short dlstnnco. From Wyoming to Salt Lako tho rato is ?L75; to Logan and Cacho points f it Is ?2.00; twenty-flvo cents more, nl- H though the dlstnnco Is far loss. H It Is argued that tho railroads must H' chargo this prlco to Salt Lako In or- H " A dcr to compete with tho coal thoro. H " Then Cacho Is either aiding tho O. H S. L. to fight tho Utah companies by H 'paying It a twenty-flvo cent tariff to H offset tho loss to tho railroad, or It Is H paying a clear tribute to tho railroad H for Its coal. Hi It Is understood that tho coal com- H panics from Wyoming soiling to Lo- H gan, reduced their prices thlrty-flvo H conts. Now, tho coal companies nro H tho railroads aB overybody knows. In othor words, tho coal mined In Wy- omlng and Bhlpped from tho north through Cacho Vnlloy to Salt Lako and southern points 'has n profit to rail- roads nnd coal companies; yet tho Bame conl shipped to Cncho points nnd hauled n shorter dlstanco must I' carry an extra profit of twonty-flvo conts to thoso.. same railroad kings H and coal barons, who wear tho snmo H royal robes. H Is there a Combine? H lint othor facts show that (hero is t a combine to keop coal nt n doflnlto I AL P'r'C0 nI1 Itnh '10,ntB' oxcopt Cacho tm Valloy. Cacho pays n ?2.00 rato to ' " Wyotrilng coal' and n ?2.25 rato to H Utah coal. Salt Lako pays n 1.75 rnto to Wyoming coal nnd n ?2.00 rnto to H Utah coal. Logan pays 2.G5 for coal at Wyoming mines and f 2.40 for coal at Utah mines. Salt Lako pays for H Its coal an ostonslblo dlfforonco bo-HJ bo-HJ tween Its coal rato on railroads loss H twonty-flvo conts, and- whatovor coal H laid down In that city Is, for Its coal H at tho mines. HuT that rato nt the H mines, thoso pcoplo best acquainted H with tho facts, doclaro, la loss to Og-H Og-H don and Salt Lako pcoplo than to HJ Cacho pcoplo. In other wgns, qt on-HJ on-HJ y Is Cncho sonkeit for an extra twonly-flvo con. ralhoad rato but so good is Its money that the coal ;iro due-era want more of It, too. Kood for Thought. Hole Is food for thought. Tho fight for reduced prico of coaT carried on in othor parts of tho stato, was not bo Justified as is a fight hero at Logan Lo-gan for a concctlon of this apparently apparent-ly downright robbery. Tho Republican Is not reporting any w lid-cat affair In this matter. It Is Informed of thoso d!crlhi!nnt!ons from some of tho big Best men in this state. If the proper figures could bo reached, and Tho Republican Re-publican will roach them In time, It Is bolleved that It will absolutely proved that theso rallro.ids and coal producers aro holding up. Cache, pcoplo pco-plo for fifty conts In nil ovents. twenty-flvo rents for overy ton or coal shipped Into, this vnlloy. Is not that food Tor thought? Do ou believe that thoKO railroads nnd coal companion, compan-ion, beoauso they can rob ui, havo a right go to do? Is tllore no remedy at taw? v x Much In heaid of trust robbers in tuo ent Thoro Is -no need of looking to the east. Lot us clonu houao at home andjinaka now bedfellows. |
