Omaha, Neb. June S.-The damage
done to the Oregon Railway e Navi-
cation company by the recent floods in
the Columbia and Snake rivers, seems
to have been considerably over-esti-
mated, according to Secretary T. M.
Orr, of the Union Pacific, although Mr..
Orr said it would be impossible to esti-
mate the damage until after the waters
had subsidized, leaving the rails eX-
posed. He thought, however, that no
more than a hundred miles of track
would be found damaged, and, in
many places, he said the track would
undoubtedly be found intact when the
waters fell. The repairs necessary to
bring the track back to it's old condi-
ton will be made by the Union Pacific,
but the O. r. & N. will have to make
good the amount expended for main
tenance and repair of the road. Prob
ably it will take a million dollars to
put the road back in its normal condi-
ton, which will leave the net earnings
of the Oregon company in a very dilap-
idated condition.
This flood, which has covered almost
the whole of Idaho, like sea, comes
at a most inopportune time for the
bondholders of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, who are contem-
plating filing bill for a separate re-
ceiver. In railway circles it is thought
the bill will not be filed now until after
the tremendous damage has been re-
paired by the Union Pacific, when
they will jump in and take the road
away. But there will be few heart
aches on the part of Union Pacific Off
Gals when the road sewers it's connec-
ton with the Overland Since 1891, the
traffic people of the Union Pacific have
been in constant stew over their po-
sition in the Palouse country and con-
tinual quarrels have ensued with the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
lines over Pacific coast business. Should
the Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany get a separate receivership, it
would leave the Union Pacific in much
better condition for through traffic ar
lease on the line, which includes some
1000 miles of track and water facili-
ties. Altogether the conditions are pre-
carious, and the people at headquarters
are not inclined even to speculate as
to what the outcome will be.
At Union Pacific headquarters, it was
given out that the washouts along the
Snake river between Payne and Market
Lake, a distance of some twelve miles,
will be repaired by Sunday night,
when it is thought the receding waters
of the Columbia will show how much
repair work must be done on the Ore
gon railway line

UNION PACIFIC FEEDERS.
Instructions Wanted Concerning
Their Operation.

Instructions Wanted Concerning
Their Operation.
Omaha, Neb., June S.-GeneraI Soil
citor Thurston, of the Union Pacific,
has prepared petition to be submit
ted to Circuit Judge Sanborn, which
sets forth that he is asking for instruc-
tions as to the continuance of the ope-
rations of certain lines of the Union
Pacific system, whose earnings appear
insufficient to pay their operating ex-
penSes and taxes. The most important
of the lines in question is the Omaha &
Republican Valley railway, owning g
system of lines and branches connect
ing with the Union Pacific main line
and operating both in Nebraska and
Kansas, with a total mileage of 4S3
as Stromburg, David City, Valparaiso
end m ny others of the best points in
Nebraska.
Mr.. Thurston says the receivers do
not ask for the abandonment of any of
the lines. The petition presented the
exact facts, showing that the roads
named are losoing money and are mere
ly feeders for the Union Pacific proper
The court will be asked to make such
order as circumstances may at present
require. The hearing will be asked to
be set about the middle of July to en-
able all interested to appear
The petition goes into the most mi
mute detail, and shows just how much
each road earns, and the cost of operat-
ing it.; when built and by whom, and
the bearing it has to the Union Pacific
proper

New York, June S.-A fairly active and
strong market was that of today on the
stock exchange despite the fact that the
tone of speculation was decidedly weak
at the opening and rather weak at the
close. Nor wss IL until after midday that
the inward movement gained force, for
the opening was heavy and lower and
the trading up to noon was without de-
cided character. After Il o'clock, the
temper of speculation underwent a change,
q good buying movement was inaugurated
and prices moved Slightly upward. A
leading factor in the improvement was
the advance in the grain market, and
there were special favorable influences
affecting individual stocks. In the late
dealings, the market weakened slightly
on realizing sales and closed easier with
most of the active shares higher than
at the close of yesterday.
Sugar was notable exception, opening
per cent. lower at 1854, receding an
other y, recovering Is, receding IA, rally

Railway and miscellaneous bonds were
fairly steady during the morning, but be-

Senator Carey said, today, it looked

however. to insist on considering the
Utah statehood bill at the earliest pos
sloie moment He says he thinks there
will be no opposition whatever on his
side of the chamber, and that being

to consider the Utah bill, it looks as if
there ought to be no trouble in put
ting the measure through shortly.
