e. Mcneil, president and general man.
ager Of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Co., of Portland, Or, arrived today. II
Is not known just what interests he rep
resents at the sale
The theory obtained here is that his
purchase of the Grand Island woulo
mean the early contamination of the
cherished scheme OF paralleling the Union
and Central Pacific, by means of a union
OF branch lines, built by them in the
height of their prosperity, and Of merg
ing interests with an eastern trunk line,
tha Baltimore 6 Ohio, for instance, so as
to complete an unbroken trans-continen-
tai line between the two oceans.
Confirmation of this theory Is found in
the present movement for new short
line between Denver and Salt Lake,
which would shorten the rail distance
200 miles, and in the fact that by the
construction of 214 miles of track the
Grand Island could be united with the
Baltimore & Ohio at Beardstown, ILL.,,
obtain Kansas City and Omaha en-
trance and reach Denver, Alma, Neb.,
Colby, Kan, and the Kansas division OF
the Union Pacific, which is not a gov
ernment road. This, with the Denver
Salt Lake short line would bring about a
junction with the Utah & Northern, the
Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation Company, and land the
Baltimore & Ohio in Portland, Or.

CHARTERS VALIDITY ATTACKED.
Sensational Demurrer to a South

San Francisco, Dec. 20.-Attorney Gen
eral Fitzgerald has filed sensational
demurrer in the United States circuit
court in the case of the Southern Pacific
company against the board of railroad
commissioners Of California The docu-
ment raises point of vital interest to the
Southern Pacific company, as the attor-
ney general attacks the validity of the
railroads charter, and denies its right
to operate its branch roads In this state
The original suit was brought to enjoin
the railroad commission from enforcing
its schedule of frelghts, reducing grain
rates per cent.
In the preliminary decision rendered by
Judge McKenna, these grain rates were
declared to be unreasonable, and the
temporary injunction granted when the
suit was instituted was ordered to con-
tinue until the case was tried on Its mer

About o'clock this morning there was
a bad wreck on the Texas & Pacific rail-
