UNION PACIFIC NOT DEAD.


BY the sale and independent reorgani-
zation of the Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern railway, comprising
l,42l miles of road. which is soon to
take place, the Union Pacific win be
reduced to total of S,O21 miles. This
viii leave it still a great and important
system, with main transcontinental
line l,OS4 miles long, from Council Bluffs
to Ogden, another great line from Kan
sas City to Cheyenne, TAG miles, and
many branches in Nebraska. Kansas
Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. With
such field for work and development
1T is inaccurate to speak of the breaking
up of the Union Pacific What has been
done is the Topping off of sundry leased
lines, leaving the original Union Pacific
about as it was in the days of its great
est fame and prosperity. As to the re-
organized Oregon Short Line, its op-
erations will doubtless be intimately as
sociated with those of the great trunk
line from which 1t has hitherto had It's
chief outlet, although it will be able to
make other eastern connections by way
of Ogden and Denver.

WATER COMMISSION.

At meeting of the water commission
last evening among other business
transacted, the following estimate Of
expenditures for the ensuing year was
submitted and approved;
Interest, $4,000; sinking fund. $500;
superintendent salary. $500; assistant
to superintendent, salary, $72O; a. Carl
son, head works keeper, $2lO clerk $500;
janitor $50; rent, $500; wood and light
$l2O city attorney, $3.50; stationery and
printing, $50; advertising, SS5; tools, S1OO;
repairs, extensions and incidentals,
1885; total, $256OO.
The only other business of import
ance before the meeting was the dis
cussion Of the question Of rate reduc-
ton. 1t was decided after mature con-
sideration that in view of the fact that
the expenditures as estimated above
was just about the amount of the earn
ings of the commission during the past
year, that 1t was impracticable at this
time to make any reduction in the
rates.

Wrong and Right Way to Cut Down
the Citys Expenses.

Astoria, December l9,-(Editor Asto-
rianl-Recently a prominent property
cwner and business man of this city
arose II is said in the Chamber of Com
merce. and advocated the reduction of
municipal expenses, speaking In no un-
certain manner on the subject. He was
in favor OF turning out every public
electric light in the city; OF dscontin-
ulng any and all public improvements
Except where absolutely necessary; Of
reducing the salaries OF policemen to
$50 per month, and a like reduction in
the salaries of all others employed by
the city, His idea was. to regulate the
expenses of the city first then TO make
war on high-priced county officials, and
put an erectuaI stop, for one or more
years, to any expenditure for county
roads, bridges, etc. He claimed like
method was pursued in San Francisco
a few years ago. when taxpayers were
groaning under an enormous levy, re-
sulting in greatly reduced assess
ment, and, although there was almost a
total cessation of public improvements,
when 1t came to selling San Francisco
bonds, parties We're found who We're
ready to take them at a premium,
While 1t is probably a good idea to
curtail the expenses Of the city govern
ment, for short time, at least, 1t seems

country as the one city on the Pacific
coast at present, having unusual at

OUR FINANCES.
New York Bank Statement is I'm.
couraging.

New York, December I9.-The New
York Financier says:
The statement issued by the New
York clearing house banks for the week
ending December 10. seems to indicate
a partial cessation of the sterling ex-
change buying movement which has
been the marked feature in this center
for over week past
Although the expansion of loans is
far from being unsatisfactory. the ac-
cumulation of funds continues in larger
proportion and the excessive reserve
has again increased up to S43s. .275.775.
which is higher than had been reported
since February 10 last. This accumu-
lation Of money congesting the market
beyond all means of relief. even with
London drawing on New York for ac-
commodation, of course has reacted on
rates until they have touched the low
est figure of the year. but there were
mmistakable signs at the closing of the
week Of tirmer tendency, due partly
to the Cuban resolutions which affect
ed the market in other cities, and to
the approaching probability of gold ex-
ports to Germany. where the situation
is becoming stringent.
Money is still flowing from the inte-
rior TO New York and the cash gains
Of the banks for the week were S3,474.-
800. The increase in deposits was &c.
$4,000. The close of the present year
may mark several heavy changes in
these items as the January disburse-
ment period is at hand and will call for
large sums both here and abroad.
