RllrM4i ir lovolved la Dellberatleaa SlsaJlar te Taose Held with the A. L. Mohler.

This la the eame aort of proceeding which haa just been finished with tha engineers, who were granted a substantial Increase. It Is no secret that much of the credit for the settlement of the englnemen's trouble la being given to Mr. Mohler. He it waa who conceived the wisdom of cul tivating pubilo sentiment. And when his plows and harrows had finished their adroit work, a surface of aentlment waa found that waa as smooth as glass and a settlement was tha easiest thing tn the world to reach. r la la Emr. conflict la reports cornea from Denver aa to the remarks Commissioner Prouty made after tha meeting. The Denver papers are making a great hullabaloo over tha "victory" for that city. Tha Associated Press reports eay that Mr. Prouty aald it would be "Impossible" to make Denver a baaing point and that waa tha main point at Issue. The baaing points from east to west are now at Chicago, tha Mississippi river and tha Missouri river. No basing points are made west of Omaha, for tha reason that it is Impossible because of water competition to the ooaat points. la aome caaea the rates from Omaha to Ban Francisco are as high aa from New York to Son Francisco, and It would be Impossi ble to have a basing point farther weat In view of theae ' facta. Denver wanted tha rates so adjusted that It could job in Salt Lake City Just aa well aa the Bait Lake City Jobber who gets his goods In leas than carload rates. Ooold Starts His Wires. Enough of the Western Pacific line haa been built by George Gould to warrant Mr. Oould'a Western Union Telegraph com pany to get busy. Next week a largo force of men will be started on the construction of the KS-mile line along that road. Ordinarily thirty poles are used to carry a mile of wire, but aa tha country between Salt take and the coast Is so mountainous and unusual, forty poles may be used to each mile in many sections of the Una. Tha original plan of having tha wire gangs work ahead of the railroad builders waa deemed Impracticable. It la thought tha wire men will cover ground mora rapidly than tha track ganga Bleeping and board ing cars are being fitted up and a good stork of auppllea gathered. Material will arrive constantly, and aa fast as ft gets to Salt Lake will be sent to the wire camps. Five carloads of poles ' arrived from Idaho aeveral days ago and more are on their way. Sixty cars of poles are now coming toward Salt Lake from Michigan. Material enough to build nearly ISO miles of telegraph wire la on band, and dally consignments will be received steadily.

The radical Increase In poatofllco bog rents, which went Into effect In the Omaha postoffice January I, has given the renters of the boxes the opportunity to make Ufa miserable for Postmaster Palmer and they are not losing any time In doing so. The Impreision seems to prevail that the Increase In rentals haa been made with the purpose :o Increase the compensation of the postmaster and aome of the Irate pa trona of tha boxes have gone so far aa to auggeat that the postmaster contribute a part of hla salary to the rental fund. "I wish people could understand," re marked Postmaster Palmer, "that the poet niajter hasn't a thing to do with the rais ing of the box rents, nor does be reeclve tha slightest benefit therefrom In tha mat ter of salary, compensation or anything else except the anathemas of the box ren ters. The order Increasing the bog rents waa the result of a recommendation of the first assistant postmaster general way bark last June, In which he aald: 'Heretofore there haa been no established baala for the fixing of the rental of pontofnee boxes and consequently there la a great dissimilarity In the charges at the different postofflcea At some small offices box rents are higher than at large offices, while frequently at neighboring offices of the aame else the rates widely differ." Following this recom mendation the prioea of the box rente were materially advanced by an order from the postmaster general to ' become effective January 1, and tha postmasters had no other recourse than to obey ordera" If you have anything to trade advertise It In the Ror Exchange column of The Bee Want Ad pugs. &.
