SAN FRANCISCO. May oa.-Charles Francis
Adams. president OF the Union Pacific
road. arrived here today. He has been
through Oregon and Washington in the
interest OF his road, and is pleased with the
traffic which has been developing there.
He states that his time while in Washing
ton vas largely occupied in looking after
the proposed terminal at Seattle Other
northern projects of the company were
also given due attention.
President Adams trip is not supposed to
have any special significance in connection
with all the talk about an overland road,
but his movements in Southern California,
whittier it is reported that he will 60. will
be closely noted. He says that the Union
Pacific certainly does not contemplate
building in that direction. and that no
bonus which could be offered would be
any inducement. All that would be asked
would be acceptable terminal facilities.
There was no intention, be said, OF con-
tinuing the extension in Nevada further
than Milford. where they are now building.
