NET RETURNS FROM DENVER,
That Clause About Union Pacific
Side Trips From Ogden to Salt
Lake-GeneraI Notes,

J, H. Bennett, of the Rio Cfrande
Western. returned from Denver yes-i
terday, where ne attended the meet-I
ing of the Western Association and as
sisted in forming an agreement. IS
to the staIement telegrarhed to tkeI
officer that General Managcr I>oGgeI
did not indorse his action in agreeing
to the Union Pacific side trip clause
Mr.. Bennett said that the person who
sent out the information was not
posted as to the facts. That clause
was a sort of rider" to the agree
ment, and did not properly belong to-
it.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean sizes up
the situation as follows:
The boycott which the Rock Island,
Burlington, Denver & Rio Grande, and
Rio Grande Western have maintained
against the Union Pacific on round
trip tickets for the past two years and
a half has been lifted, and the Union
Pacific has Joined the new Western
Trunk Line passenger committee.
This statement is made upon the au-
thority of kilograms received by local
officials yesterday from General Pas
senger Agent Lomax, of the Union Pa
cifc. Final and satisfactory settle
ment of the boycott and all other queS-
tons between the Union Pacific and its
competitors was reached at the con-
ference at Denver Thursday after
noon, and General Passenger Agent
LonaX, of the Union Pacific, imme-
diately gave Chairman Caldwell. Of
Western Trunk Line passenger COM
mittee, who was present at the con-
ference, notice that the Union Pacific
would at once join the new associa-
ton.
In joining the new association the
Union Pacific does so upon terms OF
equality with all other lines. and the
Union Pacific is to remain member
so long as the present receivers have
charge, of the system. A joint circu-
lar will be issued today by the Union
Pacific, Rock Island. and Burlington,
giving notice of the resumption Of the
sale of round-trip excursion tickets
via these lines under the same rules
tickets prior to the boycott. 1t is un-
derstood that the Union Pacific has
asked it's two most important connec-
tons or branches. the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation company and the
! ST. Joe & Grand Island. to become
members of the new passenger asso-
| citation. which it is believed they will
do within a few days.
| The Union Pacific and the Ric
Grande Western have reached a sat,
isfactory settlement so far as loca
matters are concerned. but the latter
has not as yet signed the new agree
ment but it is holding out for the rea-
son that it wants little time to look
! the situation over. This delay on thu
part of the Rio Grande Western, how
ever, is simply to consider few Ques
lions that are outside. of and not con
tingent upon association matters
| Under the terms Of settlement only
Iround-trip business will be routed viz
all lines, and the Union Pacific vii
not open any of it's intermediate gate
ways for one-way business.
I The lifting of the boycott agains
the Union Pacific ends one of TIT
longest-lived and hardest-fought war:
that has even been Waged against 1
railroad. & few years ago the Uniol
Pacific decided that it would not ac
cept through one-way business from
the Rock Island, Burlington, and Ri
lGrande at any of it's intermediate
