TEE TRANsooNTINENrAL PASSENGER AssocI-
ALTON.
OMAHA, Sept. A Special to HERALD.
Il. L. Lomax. general passenger agent of
the Union Pacific, who has just been at
tending four days meeting of the trans
con tinental association. said in speaking OF
the passenger situation:
have no doubt that the transcontinental is
thing OF the past, and yet the roads remaining
may form pool against those that are out but
that Is hardly probable. Should the Northern
Pacific folks follow the course OF the Great
Northern and Canadian Pacific, / presume the
Union Pacific would be compelled TO do like
wise. as matter of sef-interest. am a firm
advocate Of the pool and believe the interstate
commerce commission is largely of that mind.
with pool the smaller of the d1ferential roads
get as much protection the larger roads.
and there is great deal more harmony exist
ing than under the present arrangement OF
forming roads in district into associations
with equal powers But the unrest is not con-
aned alone TO the transcontinental association.
The Burlington has given notice of its with
drGwal from the western traffic association.
the collapse Of the association made entirely
probable
THE NAMPA AND SILVER CITY ROAD.
The Boise Statesmen has the following
today: III any person has doubt that
the Nampa and Silver City railroad is to
be constructed, and at the earliest practl-
ceble moment that doubt will probably
disappear when tits known that the Union
Pacific Railroad company is not only doing
Gil within its power TO encourages the build
ing OF the proposed line, but that it has
actually contracted to allow the new COM
pany the use OF its rolling stock and to
make the most favorable concessions as to
freight and passenger traffic
The tracks of the Nampa & Silver CITY
road will be connected at Nsmpa with the
through line OF the Union Pacific, and
car loaded with ore at Silver City will so
through TO Salt Lake or TO Denver without
change.
The arrangement regarding the rolling
stock was made at Nampa several weeks
AGO at conference between Union Pacific
officials and the promoters OF the proposed
road This compact renders it unnecessary
for the new concern to invest single dol
lar in locomotives or cars, and has done
much to insure the building of the road.
Ben Warrington Of Weiser was in the
city last night He informed a reporter
that man was now in the east ia the in
terests Of the proposed Weiser s. Northern
railroad
II is said that the Union Pacific company.
displeased with the extortionate demands
OF several BOISE property owners, is in no
hurry TO build from the bluff into the city.
and that no further action viii be taken
until next year.
