Bondholders of the Oregon Short Line
Not Satisfied.


Portland, Ore, Sept Cit Is stated
that the order Of. the United Stntes
court appointing the Union Pacific re
ccivcrs as separate receivers of the
Oregon Short Line will be contested
by the bondholders of that road, not
identified with the Union Pacific inter
ests, unless the receivers cease to oper-
ate the road purely in the interests of
the Union Pacific and throw open the
gates TO the Denver lines either nj
that city or at OGded.
Omaha, Sept. 6.-The talk In Salt
Lake of attempting to have the newly
appointed receivers of the Oregon
Short Line and Utah Northern set
aside and other receivers appointed
who have no connection with the
Union Paitic gives little uneasiness at
Union Pacific headquarters. 1t is very
much doubted If those roads having
separate receivers will much more
than pay their operating expenses act

and should they not do so foreclosure

gage bondholders will take the proper
ty, wiping out the government lien,
and all other liens. for that matter.
including the consolidated bondhold-
ers' mortgage. The purpose of the
separate receivers is simply to show
the earning capacity of the roads.
Some people believe the Kansas Pacific
and the Oregon Short Line will de-
velop into paying properties. This
is stoutly denied by those who arc In
Il position to know. Contingent upon
the development in the Kansas Pacific
and Short Line companies depends the
action of foreclosure on the main line

Wisdom of til. Elephants.

1t appears from trustworthy anec-
dotes that the Asiatic elephants in q
few months Of captivity acquire the
rules of conduct which it is neces-
sary to impose upon them. Tho
speelincss of this intellectual sub
Jugation may be judged from the
fact that, after short term OF
domestication. they will take a will
ing and intelligent part in capturing
their kindred of tho wilderness, show
ing in this work little or no DISPOSE
tion to Join the wild herds. In tho
case OF no other animal do We find
anything like such an immediate
adhesion to tho ways of civilization.
We havc to account for this eminent
peculiarlty of the elephant on tho
supposition. which appears to be
thoroughly justified, that tho crea-
ture has. even in its wild state, a
type OF intelligence and instincts
more nearly like those OF men than
is tho case with any other wild nam.
