Show THE SWEDE SHOULD HAVE BURLEY'S JOB. The Swede ho wrote tho following for last Saturday's paper should be brought to the attention of E. H. Har-riman Har-riman as a possible successor to the general passenger agent of tho Oregon Ore-gon Short Line: Maester D. E. Burlay, Yeneral Ayent of the Big Rallrood. Aye tank you one 'big feller too, but you not ban big enough to fool Ogden fel-lors fel-lors all time. Bill Glasmann all right for Ogden. You better look out. Ho get you yob and run Short Line railroad rail-road for Ogden and run commodation traIn;..only to Salt Lake. That be bad for your property. Lots Swede fellers get your letter and say you vos "vay off." Bill Glasmann Glas-mann get. you In his Sunday paper. You fool Japs and Chinaman all right, but )ou can't fool Swede man and Bill not much. Maester Tall Keen Hey-wood Hey-wood .and all the good Ogden fellers pat Bill Glasmann on the back and say, "you give Dam Easy Burley hell ve stand by you,", . . Ay tank ve ride on the Denver & Rio Grande rallrood when ve go to conference next time. You fool us long time.; , tell us Short. Lino vas tho Mormon church road, and all good Saints give you conference money, to go Salt Lake City. Good Mormons vant to seo Ogden, too, and you charge him 4c a mile to see Ogden and only 3 cents a mile to Bee Salt Lake. Aye tank you live too long in Salt Lake and Harrlman bettor get a new yeneral passenger agent or move the station away from Ogden. You send some more letters and soon you do all business In Ogden with a flag. Aye tank Ogden fellers stand by Weber club and Four State Fair all right. Aye vork for S. P. and fellers all say you vas old fossil and better take a rest. You sent my letter In 6th ward. I move to 3rd ward. Good by- HANS OLSON. Hans Olson is ecrually as good a letter let-ter writer as Mr. Burley. Though he misses the spelling of a word now and then,, he, reason clearly, and gets at the root of the controversy with a directness which is refreshing after reading Burley's effort In circumlocution circumlocu-tion and dust throwing. As Hans says, the Oregon Short Line allows Salt Lake a rate of 3 centB; that read demands of Ogden 4 cents. Now, if figures do not lie and liars do not figure, the answer will be the same each time, 3 cents for Salt Lake and -1 cents for Ogden, which is a discrimination which cannot can-not bo explained away by odious comparisons. |
