UNION PACIFIC CUNNING.
Why the Divorce From the Oregon
Was Secured.

OMAHA. June Pit is now definitely
understood that the separation of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company
from the Union Pacific by the appointment
of receiver, is merely nominal and that
the traffic agreement between the two in
terests will be so close as to practically
exclude other lines from acerUing benefits.
In this way it develops that it is really to
the advantage of the Union Pacific that
the divorce was secured and in fact local
railway circles agree that the receivership
for the Oregon company was really ar
ranged by those interested in the overland
and consequently anxious to avoid the ex-
pense of repairing the recent food damage
to the Oregon property.

TO secure the cash is said to have by

conservative estimate about S4OO. He
was working the territory about Castle

bring him back to Seattle on requlsl-

learn that this seasons pack of herring
has been unusually large, and although
coming late in the season has more than
taxed the capa lily OF their extensive
fishery. They have All established trade
with parties in Victoria, and, besides
supplying this market Nth fresh fish,
they have packed some q 900 boxes
and picked upwa ds of Il hundred bar
rels. They contemplate charging the
plant-just doubling its capacity, in
the spring. Graham Bros. and Capt.
Edw Graignic will also increase their
facilities before next seasons pack. The
fishing industry of the county is now
well established and assuming proper
tons which will place it in the fore
ranks, not only OF this county but the
