The real condition of matters In
reference to the various lines interested
in the revival of the lranscuntinental
situation has not been clearly told IN
the dispatches. The agreement lust
reached by the Southern Pacific and the
Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany will greatly facilitate matters Ill
renewing the association. The original
stumbling block which impeded progress
was the demand of the Great Northern,
on behalf of the Oregon Railway anu
Navigation company, for dltferehtlal
and an equal representation Tor all
competitors via the Shasta route. The
Southern Pacific declined to grant this
request unless the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company should concede a
portion of its ditferential on water ana
rail business. Tins il magnanimousiy
did, not caring 50 stand in the way OF
the reaching OF Il harmonious agree
ment. It's Representation WAS allowed,
and the Joint agreement published yes
terdav between the Southern Pacific,
Great Northern ana the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company was Reached.
The latter line. not To be surpassed in
generosity, has promised, through its
general passenger agent. Mr.. Hurlourt,
that it stands ready to place the North
ern Pacific on basis OF eq slity with all
competitors. So far as the Northern
lines are now concerned. they are
dwelling together i'll unity. IL the
Southern lines can settle their differ
ences as amicably and eXuediuously as
the Northern lines nave tueirS, there Is
no reason why the Transcontinental
association cannot be renewed i'll snort
