B The Union Pacific will issue an order within n Bhort time clos- H ing the Ogdcn gateway to the Denver and Rio Grande on all tickets m sold cast of Denver and Colorado common points. This will cut the B Denver and Rio Grande out of much of the Yellowstone Pork M travel where the tourista come from cast of Denver. Tho order B was issued last spring hut was held in abeyance until he intcr- M stute commerce commission passed .on its merits. The commis- M sion decided that it did not have the power either to compel the B Union Pacific system to keep tho Ogdcn gateway open or to cause H it to be closed. The interstate commerce commission asserted in H its findings that tho keeping of the gateway .open would mean n m greater volume of traffic for the Oregon Short Line. H It is expected in Utah railroad circles that the Union Pacific B system will issue the order shortly after January 1st nnd that the B dale for closing the gateway will be set for March 1st. When the B first order was issued the Denver and Rio Grande enlisted the B support of all the commercial clubs and civic organizations in Utah, B Idaho and Colorado to protest against it. Petitions were circuln- B ted throughout the three states and wcro forwarded to the inter B state commerce commission asking that the order of tho Union B Pacific system be abrogated. HHB Under the order, when it becomes effective, it will be Impos- B siblc for a traveler to buy a ticket in Denver or any Eastern city H to Yellowstone National Park or to any local point on tho Oregon B Short Line or OrcgonWashington Railroad nnd Navigation com- H pany's line over tho Denver nnd Rio Grande to Salt Lako City and - then over tho Union Pacific system to destination. The Union B Pacific system will also get the long haul on all business coming H from local points, us passengers from Oregon, Washington nnd H Idaho cannot be routed through Salt Lako City over the Denver K and Rio Grande to Eastern points when the order is effective. H No further protest on tho order can be made by the Denver H and Rio Grnndc, since the interstate commerce commission has B already decided that it has no jurisdiction over the Ogdcn gate- B way. The gateway has been closed to freight shipments more HB than three years. Tho closing of this gateway has made it cs- pcclally hard on tho coal mining companies of Carbon county and H of Eastern Utah. K, Harx Thrown Down East of Denver. H; The Denver nnd Rio Grande has "thrown down the bars" in so HHB far ns passenger traffic with connecting lines is concerned. Effec- H tivo at once nnd indefinitely tho Missouri Pacific will receive no K preference in eastern passenger business solicitations by rcpro- B xentatives of the Denver nnd Rio Grnndc. All eastern connections Bpi will be given an even break in so far as the Denver nnd Rio Grande BPS is concerned. Such was tho announcement made in a letter re- B ceived Inst Saturday nt Salt Lake City by J. D. Kcnworthy. assist- B ant general freight and passenger agent, from V. A.

Bhhb Although no official announcement hns been made of the di- B vorco of th) traffic departments of tho Denver and Rio Grnndc and B the Missouri Pacific, Wndlcigh's letter clearly stated that all cast- BB crn connections, including tho Missouri Pacific, aro to bo given an BBBv even break on through passenger business, effective upon receipt BBBB of tho letter. This is tho first step toward opening tho Denver BB gatewny to eastern lines entering thnt city nnd will result in a JBBBl much more satisfactory understanding between representatives of BB k Denver and Rio Grande nnd Utah representatives of connect jBBBBBBBB ing lines.

Determined to enforce the delivery of correct weight of coal In Inillvlilunl catef, thereby saving Halt Iike City buyers hundreds of thnusnnds of dot Urn the coming winter, Holier 0 Hmlth. Ute superintendent of weight nnd measures, ho been conducting nn Investigation of deliveries which has been prepared In report form. Prosecutions nre being considered In cure where weight arc being found nhort nnd the shortage In outside of n reasonable variation. . Tho report extends from November Zld to December 3d. Altogether forty-three loads delivered by thirteen companies were Inspected. Of these twenty-one were short, ranging from five pounds to six hundred nnd ninety pounds. Fourteen loads were over weight, tanging from five to two hun dred pounds. Tour loads Just bal anced nnd It was Impossible to esti mate one becnuse In delivering five hundred pounds had been thrown off by guess. To remedy this condition of short weight, Hmlth. In addition to the prosecutions contemplated nnd the publicity which he believes will cause the companies to be more careful In the future, has ndopted n policy, some points of which will be merely recommendations, while others wilt be Insisted upon, I'liuls I'mitl In Kcnlc. In the first place tho use of shorter plnlfoim eveles, those upon which It Is Impossible for the horses to stand. Is strongly urged. The long wales so generally In use In Halt ImUo Clt). which petmlt the horses to stand on the platform, In the opinion of the state sealer of weights nnd measures, are responsible for much of the dis crepancy existing, lie cites the fact that horses, working nnd sweating, vary greatly In weight before nnd af ter being permitted to dtlnk large ipiantltles of water. The department next Is going to In sist that the weight of the wngon bo taken before and after each loading nnd delivery. The custom bus been to weigh the wngons weekly. This hns caused much discrepancy. It Is mild, because the drivers, working by numbers, not Infrequently lose their numbers or get them mixed or take out the wrong wagon. Billet enforcement of Hoc. SO of the regulations governing the sale of coal, coke nnd chnrvoal hns been ordered. This clause has been more honored In the breach than In the observance, It Is said. Mut Vcrlf) 1 1 mi DclhiT). The chief point on which the de partment Insists Is that each delivery must be accompanied by delivery ticket In duplicate curr)lmc In Indel ible marking the gross weight by pounds, 'sre of delivery vehicle, quan tities contained, with the name of the pun baser. "Wo nre not satisfied with the wide variation In the weights of coul being delivered by Halt I.ukc City companies this winter," suys Hmlth. "Now Is the time to check uby tendency towards shortage. Of course the companies say, 'What's the difference If we strike a general average, even If one delivery Is fifty pounds short while anolhcr Is fifty pounds over" "It Is not the Intent of the law to permit striking nvernges. The com panies inn nnd will be forced to come closer to the murk In the case of In dividual deliveries," MAYS ISJttOilZED (ilvcn Several (iMNl I'lnrvM On lnimr (ii lit Committee.
