The weak spot in Union Pacific for the last
two years has been in Oregon. III Is III thS
part of the system that most OF the emoarraSS-
ing complications have occurred during MI
Adams's administration, in the management oil
which it has shown its greatest strength as wei
as IFS greatest weakness Here was the Union
Pacific's most promising source OF revenue al
most of consequence il was its most vulnerable
point TO bc strengthened, fortified and constantly
guarded But TO pursue the figure, it was IN
charge of quartcrmastcrs, It's deIences were eio
uncovered. and here one day Mr.. Gould and a
few friends sauntcred leSuTcly in without hUng
a gun-Mr. Gould told the reporter, who asked
him the other day if he had been cunning Tor
Wnnamakcr.' that he did not own a gun-and
took peacea bic possession The weak point was q
floating debt. incurred by the Union Pacific III
purchasing through the Oregon short Line, d
majority of the stock of the Oregon Railway ana
Navigation which was under lease 10 the Snort
Line The purchase itself was a wise one, as
il resulted in putting six per cent rental pracu-
callv on a five per cent basis Provision for IL
was made in the issue of a collateral trhSt pohu
at per cent. with the stock as security, ana
between seven and eight millions of the issue had
been sold leaving about five millions In the treas
ury The entire issue had been subscribed 1or'
but the mistake made OF holnlng the re-
mainder for higher prices.
Seine things happened, too, that no foresight
could have provided against. The clements COM
hincd together to laugh TO scorn the wisdom OF
usp. The winter Of lsss's0 was so free from
snow. upon which the fields of Eastern Oregon
were dependent for irrigation and moisture, tha'
the wbeat crop of 1850 was almost a total failure
and the Navigation Company, which had always
derived large traffic from this source, suffered an
enormous loss in let earnings. There was no
wheat 10 haul. The snow came the following
winter: came in such volume. with floods, lnnd-
slides and blockadcS, TO put stop To oil
business for weeks at a time leaving 'hc T'ad
md equipment in condition unfit 10 meet the
increased demands upon them for carrying Inc
enormous crops of 1890. First they had no wheat
to haul: next they had no means 10 maui 1t.
Even these Disasters might have been Idcd over
but for the added complication of tsht money
which increased the difficulty of carrying hoa'-
ING debt for which money had 10 be borrowed
