RAILROADS TO GET TOGETHER Trnnn'oiitliu'iititl I'liHxeiiurr .hsocIu tlou .otv Soeiim to ll Aurrtl All AVeKtern I. lues In Deal, Tho formation ot a passenger association by tho transcontinental lines of the west is now an assured fact. Preliminary steps toward fuch an organization wero taken this month when tho passenger representa tives of all through western lines met in Salt l.ako City and discussed the proposition at some length. This week an adjourned meeting was held In Chicago and virtually all of thu-olistacles ut tlrst encountered wero dissipated, coubcipiontly tho organization seems a certainty. General I'assenger Agent S. Francis of tho Kurllugton camo In from Chicago yester day whore ho had been In attendance upon tho meeting. Tho session will continue for a day or two yet, during which tho details ot tho association will bo closed up and do cislvo action will bo taken within a short time. Tho most pronounced diniculty which presented itself when tho proposition ot forming a transcontinental association was first broached was tho division of military business to tho coast This has been set tled by tho uppolntment of Chairman Mao l.eod of the WcHtcrn Passenger association to hnvn chargo ot tho division ot this busi ness between the various roads. With tho elimination of this question other matters connected with tho organizing of tho as sociation wero easily disposed of. through which tho tranecoutlncntnl system, In consideration of tho dismissal "without prejudlco" of tho action brought by tho stnto over its nbsorptlon of tho St. Paul & Duluth railway, agrees to forever maintain that lino in all respects as It it still re mained a separate lutercft.

This deodorizer will ho distrib uted In cars, ofllces, stations and shop's and it Is bellovcd that tho continued existence of microbes on tho Uock Ii,land will bo but short-lived.
