in the Rio Grande some six miles above

evidently of one family, from an apparent
resemb lance, and were all brutally muir
dered in the same manner and at the same
time. They seemed to have been struck
on their heads with some blunt weapon,
probably piece of wood. Each of the
bodies had large rock tied to 1t by small
pieces Of the same rope.
The sheriff of this county and posse
are securing the country for the purpose
of finding some trace of the fiendS who
committed this awful crime. The muir
dered family were evidently movers and
belonged to the farming class. The gov
ernor has been communicated with and
will be asked to offer a reward for the ap-
prehension of the criminal. The following
is description Of the dead people: A

Results Of Gut in Wages by the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company.

PORTLAND, Ore, March 6.-Orders have
recently been issued from the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company in New
York authorizing a reduction of wages of
all the company's employees on the river
division. The orders were that the wages
of all persons from $50 and upward per
month be reduced 10 per cent. This af-
fects materially wages of captains, pilots
engineers and mates. 1t is said all have
refused to work All the boats of the
company on the Willamette and Columbia
rivers are tied up and there is a general
suspension of travel oyer these lines.
The same state of affairs exist
on Puget Sound. Officers and
men positively refuse to work
Rt the reduced wages. Several meetings
have been held by steamboatmen, and it
was resolved to demand more wages than
the Oregon Railway g. Navigation COM
pany paid before the reduction order. This
demand, of course, was not entertained
and all the strikers firmly refuse to turn a
wheel. Thus far every effort to reach
satisfactory understanding has failed. The
situation is a most embarrassing one to
the company and works very serious in
convenience to travel, trade and mails
The company has contract for carrying
mails along the Lower Columbia and on
the sound. The situation will prove very
serious one unless some compromise is eff
fected Public sympathy is all with strik-
ers. The law requires that all licensed
pilots and masters must have at least five
years experience on the waters, and the
places OF the strikers cannot be supplied
by Others

BRANCH LINES WILL CONSOLIDATE

NEW DIRK, March "a Boston special
saws the following was given out at the
office of the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany in that city today: For some time
past the question of consolidation of the
branch lines of the Union Pacific system
rentering at Ogden has been under consid-
GRAFTON. The necessary papers have now
been drawn and directors have the imme-
fiate consolidation of the Oregon Short
Line and the Utah & Northern Railway
companies before them, The first step in
bringing this about was taken at a meet
ing of the Oregon Short Line trustees held
on Monday of this week and succeeding
steps Will be as rapidly as the forms of
law viii permit. By the consolidation of
the Oregon Short Line and Utah * North
ern companies all questions of rate and di-
vision of business as between the two COM
panieS will be settled. The consolidated
company will probably be known as the
Oregon Short Line Il Utah * Northern
Railway company. 1t will operatel051 miles
of railway between Denver and Ogden on
the south, and Huntington aud Butte on
the north and west The gross income of
the two lines composing the consolidated
company Tor the year lSSS, was S4177 900;
their operating expenses were S2,SJ0, 900,
net revenue was 81, $50, GOO. or S575, 900 above
fixed charges. The question of incorpo-
ratlng Win TINS company the other | tab
lines of the Union Pacific system is also
under consideration. It may or may not
he decided upon at later day There are
four of these companies: The Utah
Central operating twenty-eight miles:
Utah & Nevada, thirty-seven miles: the
Salt Lake & Western, sixty-eight miles.
and the Ogden & Syracuse, six miles.
Should this larger consolidation hereafter
be decided upon. ,4s6 miles of road would
thus be brought under one management
instead of being under four arrangements
rs at present. The proposed consolidation,
IL carried through in all its parts, will un-
Goubtedly exercise a decided influence not
only upon the affairs of the Union Pacific,
but upon the future DEVELOPMENT of the
whole territory tributary TO Salt Lake
city and Ogden.
