CHICAGO, Oct. 1l.-Reports having
been current for some years past that
the Union Pacific had determined to
build an extension to the Pacific Coast
In opposition TO ths Central Pacific,
and another by way of its new Oregon
branch line TO the Columbia river, a
Tritoae reporter yesterday asked Mr.. s.
h. II. Clark, General Manager of the
Union Pacific, what truth there was in
these reports. Mr.. Clark stated that
there was no truth whatever in these re-
ports, and that no such extensions were
contemplated. There was some talk of
constructing line from one point on
the :ine of the Union Pacific in Utah
southeast to join the Atlantic and Pa
cifc, and then build jointly to San
Francisco. Since then, however, an
agreement has been made with the Cen
tral Pacific. by which the latter is to be
used az the Union Pacific's western out
let for number of years, the scheme to
build an independent line has been
abandoned. 1he Atlantic and Pacific,
instead of connecting with tho Union
Pacific, and building jointly to San
Francisco, has decided to build to the
TOl0 river only, and there connect with
the new line built by the Southern Pa
cific.
