A JOINT LEASE PROPOSED.
UNION AND NORTHERN PACIFIC LIKELY TO con-
troll AN OREGON ROAD

UNION AND NORTHERN PACIFIC LIKELY TO con-
troll AN ORFG0N ROAD
At the conference in Boston on Tuesday the
committee of the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
Railroad companies agreed in making an oner 10 the
committee Of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany lease Jointly that companys property at the
rate per dividends the stock for three years
and per cent afterwart The committee did not accept
the OFFER but replied with somewhat more favorable
to the Oregon company The difference was 50 small
however, that members Of the committees regard
the joint lease almost as an accomplished iact eN
cepting the arrangement OF details IL is generally un
derstood that the Union Pacific is anxious TO complete
lease. which will give IL independent line to the
Pacific coast and that while of the Northern Pacific
directors prefer an exclusive lease others wish to build
the Cascade branch, and moreover the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company has refused to lease the
properly either company separately.
The method in which the lease may be made and the
guarantees by the two companies rendered effective has
not been agreed on There has been considerable dis
enssiOn friends of the Oregon and the Northern
Pacific companies weeher not the Union Pacific
can give a valuable guarantee without the consent Of
Congress shortly after the Wilson report on the Credit
Mohier scandal Congress March 3, 1873. passed an
act restricting the powers OF the Union Pacific Com
pany. The following f. an extract from the act
No dividend shall here ftrrbe made by said company
from the actual net earnings thereof and no new
stock shall he issued mortgages or pledges made on
the property or future earnings of the company without
leave OF Congress- except for purposes OF funding ana
securing debt now existing or tho renewal thereof n"

director or officer who shall paw declare aid in paying
declaring any dividend or creanng any nOrtgage or
pledge prohibited by bis act shall be punished Dy IN
prsonment not exceeding two years and 10y me not
exceeding 5000"
Jaw Gould said yesterday THAT the lease would he made
probably by means ~ The Oregon short Line Railway
which Is owned by the Union Pacific. aud whose guar
antee would hc equivalent to that OF the Union Pacific
other ronds of the scheme said that the Union Pacific
could 20 pas FOR the OF the road liked sum
which would be- sufficient 10 meet It's part Of the liked ana
divided charges
The charter of the Northern Pacific Railroad provides
that mortgage construction bonds shall ever be
issued by said company said road mortgage or lieu
made In except with t.e consent of Congress-
Under subsequent section, however, the company
claims the right upon any kind Of arrange
