UNION PACIFIC RECEIVERS.
They Have Been Appointed Receive

They Have Been Appointed Receivers
for the Oregon Short Line.
SALT LAKE. Sept. 4.-Judge Merritt
today appointed S. H. H. clark, Oil
yer Mink, e. Anderson, q. +. Coudert
and j. w. Doane as receivers for the
Oregon Short Line and Utah & North
ern railroads. Judge Marshall, on be-
half of the American Loan and Trust
Company, asked for a reasonable pos.-
ponement in order to allow his clients,
who were trustees of the consolidated
mortgage, TO make application for a
separate rcceivership.
Denied That tho Short Line Will Paw.
OMAHA, Sept. 1.-The talk in Salt
Lake of attempting 10 have the newly
appointed receivers of the Oregon
Short Line and Utah IL Northern set
aside and other receivers appointed
who have no connection with the
Union Pacific gives little uneasiness at
Union Pacific headquarters here. 1t is
doubted if those roads having separate
receivers will much more than pay
their operating expenses acting indie
pendentiy OF the main line, and should
they not do so foreclosure is inevitable
Then the first mortgage bondholde1s
VIII take the property, wiping out the
government lien, and all other liens
for that matter, including the consoli-
dated bondholders' mortgage. The
purpose of the separate receivers is
simply to show the earning capacity of
the roads. Some people believe the
Kansas Pacific and Oregon Short Line
will develop into paying properties.
This is stoutly denied by these who
are in position 70 know. Contingent
upon development in the Kansas Pa
citic and Oregon Short Line com
panies depends the action Of fore
closure on the main line Of the Union
Pacific.
Short Line Bondholders Object.
PORTLAND, Sept. At is stated that
the order of the United States court
appointing the Union Pacific receivers
as receivers of the Oregon Short Line
will be contested by bondholders of
that road unless the receivers cease to
operate the road purely in the interest
OF the Union Pacific and throw open
the gates TO the Denver lines, either at
that city or at Ogden.
