OREGON SHORT LINE CASE.

Salt Lake, June S.--The Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern receivership case
has been argued down to the point where
about the only difference between the
contending parties seems to be whether
there shall, be one or two receivers ap-
pointed. The Union Pacific insists on an
associate receiver, while the loan COM
pany maintains that such an appoint
ment would defeat the whole purpose Of
a separate receivership because Of the
brief time which would be given to raise
the money to be paid, until July /. A
decision is expected on Monday.
