Another view OF tho proposed pat
songer service IL presented In Tbur-
dsy morniDg's Beaver News, which
says.
Notwithstanding tina alleged denials

err Pacific, that bis company was pro-
poSing TO cut passenger train service
GU the Central Pacific branch In two,
II IL fact that uunh a move 10 coutem-
plated. President Jeiisty Of the Rio
| GTAgds admitted last night to Negs
reporter tnRt he had received nOtifica.
lisa from this Southern Petite TO that
effect, .. q thar be had been Informed
officially that the company was con-
templstiuE taking sucn a stop Nlyem.
bsr /. While tho reason f0t the pro-
posed move Ia not elyon, II IL
OBVIOUS to all railroad men that
IL carried into effect II wiIl
provoke nefco war against tue
SoutErrn Pacific by all Of tue Denver
lines, which are thus shut of from
coLIt business through the Denver
| gateway.
Mr.. JoGtry, when question abr It
the matter last night, wa, reluctant 10
talk about 1t. "PsIsonally," said he,
al an very much opposed 10 sdoh u
move, and have written ile S5uihGTa
Pacific people urging that tle Tie, 10

segment are fAg-,ight.d and intelligent
people, and | think they Will realize
That the proposed move 10 a mistaken
policy and will give itup."
"but u they insist aud do cut Down
their service will this Rio GTands fol-
low suil2D
"No, cir; most emphaticslly not.
We cannot serve the public properly
with a lees service than We are giving
| today over our standard guage line.
The public 10 entitled 10 thai service
aud IL will receive II no mstter what
the SoutheT Pacific does. However,
am inclined to think that the plan VIII
not be carried out"
The proposed action Of tho Southern
Pacific would DO to throw large p0r-
lion OF the trsnsoontineniGl tfAfiic that
now passes through Denver and Og-
den, 10 their southern lines anu would
leave the Burlington, Rock Island,
Missouri Pacific and Union Paoinc,
NoTthw osteTn, without an outlet TO
the coast. That 10 undoubtedly the in-
tsntion OF the move aud would result
In n combine OF those lines either 10
build y new outlet from Ogden, or
what " more probable, Ia throw their
busineHs TO tho SAINTS Fs NJ Kansas
City and thus force the Southern Pa
oiiic to give the necessary service from
Ogden or 10 without a large amount
OF business
