Dillon Talks Railroad.
CHICAGO, May 29.-S. Dillon, President
of the Union Pacific, passed through
this CITY enroute to New York this even
,u, aftar tour 1uov.oofiop nvoy Tho vna1
He WAS interviewed. He said his COM
pauy had Nd immediate intention Of ex-
tending its line west from Ogden to
San Francisco, that such an undertak-
ing would not pay, as the roads earn
ings on California business was only
ten per cent. of its entire earnings. AS
to the extension of the burlington
road to Salt Lake, and building other
lines into the Union Pacific territory,
no said they undoubtedly had taken
some business, but, owing 10 the growth
Of the country the net earnings of the
Union Pacific had nevertheless increas-
ed. The diversion of traffic via the
Southern Pacific to New Orleans, and
thence by water, he said had not Iua-
terially affected his line, He asserted
that only about % per cent. of the
traffic was carried by this
route and the steamship lines. In
this connection he said eastern
trunk lines could not afford to carry out
their threat not to pro rate with Pacific
roads, as such refusal would raise the
rate to such an extent that traffic from
to seaboard would be diverted
to the southern route to large extent.
He said the competition of the North
ern Pacific should increase rather than
decrease the business of the Union Pa
cific owing to the traffic it would bring
from the far northwest over the Oregon
Short Line.
