way and STEAMBOATS,. 1t is said that the Union
Pacific Railway Company does not issue tickets
for passage over the transportation lines which
1t controls. but tickets are issued and the baSi-
ness is transacted in the name of the Union Pa
cifc system, which is neither q person or q
thing. but myth. ] am, therefore, the more in
ciined TO insist on having the question which
has been argued upon this motion put in def
mite form and fairly tested, on account of the
interest which the public has in the determine
tion of IT,
The action referred to is that of Hattie

sonal damages by passenger, the case be-
ing begun IN Thurston county. At the
time of the filing of the petition for re-

affidavit alleging that the person TO whom
the papers were delivered was not an
agent Of the company. The service was
supposed to have been made upon ]. C.
