OGDEN MAY LOSE TERMINUS
OF THF SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Capitalists Fighting for Its Removal
to Salt Lake—Railroad Officials in
New York Issue Orders That
; Cause Excitement—What
Change Means to
Northwest. 1
Much excitement prevails among the
officials of the Southern Pacific railroad,
both on the Ogden end and down at
headquarters in San Francisco- Instruc
tions have been received from the New
York officials of the road to wind up the
affairs connected with the proposed cut
of the Southern Pacific from Lucine,
Utah, across the lake into Ogden. Al
most simultaneously, orders were receiv
ed by Judge Thomas Marshall, attorney
for the road at Salt Lake City, to rush
the survey, now being made for a cut
off route across the south end of the
great Salt Lake from Lucine into the
Utah capital.
These instructions from New York
headquarters mean a great deal to Og
den and Sait Lake City people as well as
to the northwest. A cut off into Ogden
means about twenty miles of trestle work
over the Salt Lake and the construction
of a bridge several miles in length which
wi 1 cost millions of dollars. The present
route over Promoneory Hill would be
shortened a number of miles and the
heavy grades now encountered on the
mountains done away with. This means
a saving to the Southern Pacific of many
thousand of dollars every day. in extra
screws and coal as well as time.
Should the Salt Lake route be estab
lished, the passenger and freight traffic
to Montana and the Northwest over the
Southern Pacific, will be compelled to go
about thirty-five miles further than at
present. The transfer will be made from
the coast road to the Oregon Short Line

Company With $2,500,000 Capital Organized to Develop
the Rich Mines of the Bear Gulch District.
Alexander Livingston, of Livingston,
Mont., Will Be the Vice President
of the New Concern—Spokane
Mining Men and Chloago
Capitalists Are in on
the Deal.
Montana men are interested in a new
mining company which has been organ
ized at Spokane for the development of
the rich Bear Gulch properties and to
construct a large smelter In that district.
The new organization will also con
struct about 20 miles of railroad, con
necting the principal mines in that sec
tion with the smelter.
The company is to be known as the
Mining and Smelting company, with a
capitalization of $2,500,000, organized with
Spokane, Montana, and Chicago capital.
The last deal with the principal mines of
Bear Gulch has just been completed
which turns over to the new corporation
the best mines in that section.
The enterprise has been promoted by
Harry Bush, of Spokane, and he will be
the president of the corporation. Alexan
der Livingston of Livingston, Mont., will
university he entered a mile foot race,
which he won, but in doing it he so ex
erted himlel'f so as to rupture his heart.
The complaint then contracted never
left him, and he was subject to heart
trouble. It is believed by his friends here
that a recurrence of this ailment caused
his death.
Mr. Tevis was twice married, his first
wife being a daughter of Judge Boalt, a
prominent jurist of Denver. By her he
had a daughter now about eight years
old, who survives him. The first Mrs.
Tevis died several years ago, and quite
recently Mr. Tevis was married to the
daughter of ex-Governor Baxter of
Denver.
Their meeting was romantic and the
weding caused quite a stir in society
circles in Colorado. Mr. Tevis presented
his bride as a wedding gift the deeds to
his splendid country home on the cliffs
overlooking the sea at Monterey.
This place, one of the- finest on the
coast is now being enlarged and nearly
rebuilt. It was to have been occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. Tevis on their return
from their wedding tour which began at
this city and now has been so sadly
terminated in the Orient.
Mr. Tevis was a man of athletic build,
a member of many leading clubs and
popularamong his associates.
at Salt Lake City instead of at Ogden as
is now the case.
There is little doubt but that one of
these two mentioned roads will be built
shortly as the implements and material
for the commencement of the work have
been in the Ogden ward for thirty days.
The fact that the road intended chang
ing its route gave the Salt Lake City peo
ple the incentive to work with the head
officials in New York and endeavor to
land the terminus in their city. The
route around the southern part of the
lake which will be taken by the Southern
Pacific, if the officials decide to abandon
their headquarters in Ogden is some
miles longer than the other route.
Judge Marshall of the coast road states
that, in his opinion, the road will run
directly into Ogden as heretofore, but
over the Lucine cut-off. He says a num
ber of surveys have been made for the
Salt Lake route from some point on the
road out of Ogden several miles, but all
have proved absolutely impracticable- He
thinks the present survey is being made
simply to satisfy Harriman and his as
sociates, who feel that the road should
run directly into the city of Saint«.
Judge Marshall states that he has closed
ud the right of way for the Lucine-Og
den cut-off and the company is prepared
to start on the work at a moment's no
tice.
Should the Southern Pacific decide to
take the Salt Lake route it will mean
much for Ogden. That city has always
had the terminus of the coast road and
the general offices for the Salt Lake di
vision have been there. A great deal of
money is distributed in Ogden each
month by this road. Their shops in Og
den which employ a thousand men,
would be taken to the capital in case
the Ogden terminus is abandonned. Salt
Lake City has been fighting for this
move for many years and there Is now
a well organised force of capitalists of
that place who are pulling every string
to accomplish this.

New York, June 7.—Senator, Vf. A. Clark, of Montana, arrived here
to-day from Europe ahead of time. The senator, it Is expected, will
remain in New York for a week and then proceed to Butte to attend
the marriage of his son, W. A. Clark, Jr., and Miss Mable Foster.
Mr. Clark will present the bride a check for a million dollars as a
wedding gift.
Senator Clark stated that he will go to Salt Lake City after his
visit to his home in Butte and hold a conference with Senator Kearns,
of Utah, regarding the construction of the Los Angeles-Salt Lake rail
road which those gentlemen, together with their associates, are con
templating building. Mr. Clark said to-day, that it was. the inten
tion of his company to build the road as first outlined, and that the
reports to the contrary which have been repeatedly published, are ab
solutely without foundation. He said that considerable opposition to
his proposed road has been mads by the eastern capitalists and rail
road magnates, who are holders of Southern Pacific and Short Line
stock, but that, despite the effort# of these men, the line will be
pushed to completion as rapidly M poE3ible.
"Everything is in readiness, at both Los Angeles and Salt Lake
City for our men to begin work on the coast road, and so far as. I
know now, there will be no further delay," said Mr. Clark. "We un
derstand that the Oregon Short Line company will use every effort
to keep us out of the field, as they want the territory we Intend cov
ering, but our right-of-way is clear and we will be running our trains
between the Utah capital and the city on the coast in a short time."
Senator Clark refused to say whether or not he thought the Short
Line people would finish the road they have started to the coast. He
said: "I know what we will do and care nothing about their plans."
