The Salt Lake Tribune commenting on
tIe reported disagreements between the
Oregon Railway & Navigation and the
Northern Pacific companies says: The
two companies worked in perfect harmony
until the overthrow of Willard. Since
then they have been drawing apart and
it is whispered that the Central Pacific
people, under the management of G. p.
Huntington, are straining every nerve to
absorb the old company or at least con-
solidate with it. In that event it will be
absolutely necessary for the Northern Pa
cific to complete its line through Wash
ington territory to the Sound, and even
then it will be liable to be troubled, for
the Central Pacific has already few
miles of road built east from the Sound.
With the purchase of or consolidation
with the O. N. 81 r. Company the Central
would secure the roads up both the Will
lamette and Columbia and the beautiful
feet of ships belonging to the company;
it would break the pool with the Northern
Pacific and enable that company to really
control the trade of Oregon more effectually
than in the old days. With this accomp-
lished, SO effectually would the G. p. and
S. p. people control the trade of the coast
that it would be almost a necessity for the
Union Pacific to push through, at least
their Short Line, to tide water in the west
The effect on the people Of Oregon it is
hard to anticipate. The changes are that
goods would be as now shipped as cheaply
to Portland from the East as to San Franz
cisco, but the local rates to there would
be what they arc in Nevada, and there
would be serious complaints. OF course
If the Central Pacific can secure the o. Il.
6. N. property, unless the Northern Paci-
fie is backed by very strong men It Willie
