THE EAST END PROPOSITION.
The Southern Pacific Looking to the
Opening of Traffic.

The development OF yellow fever by DR.
Guiteras In both Galveston and Houston
put a temporary quictus on the negotiations
of the Southern Pacific for opening traffic
both freight and passenger. between Hous-
ton and Lake Charles. La Arrangements
had bsen made for the transportation OF
lumber from Lake Charles to this city, au-
thorlty for the movement OF cars having
been given by DR.. Swearingen. but after
the operation of one train the health au-
thoritles of Orange county refused TO allow
the practice 10 go further. The anticipated
early dissolution OF the quarantines against
Houston caused the company to call Dr..
Swearingen's attention to the attitude OF
Orange county and the State health officer
transmitted the following telegram yester-
day from San Antonio:
Honorable County Judge. Orange County,
Orange. Texas: Trains running through
your county without stopping can not posi-
bly, harm any one. Empues are all fumi-
gated and II they stop at your depot al
orange there could be no Injury 10 any one.

getting OF In your county, but do not pre-
vent trains from passing through, ! DO
not wish to call on the governor 10 resort
to harsh measures, but This rule must be
observed

Haven't Arranged Peace Fully.
Portland. Ore. October 1.-THE settle
ment Of the difficulties between the Union
Pacific and tho Oregon Short Line created
quite stir To railroad circles here today.
The dispatch conveying information Of the
settlement was interpreted here by Union
Pacific officials as meaning that through
business over the Short Line and Oregon
Railway and Navigation lines to Portland
was 10 De resumed. but Oregon Railway
ana Navigation officials deny that any
agreement for resumption of through
tranic over their road by way OF the Union
Pacific has been made. The dispatch con-
veying the information came from General
passenger Agent Lomax OF the Union Pa
cihc and is as follows: Resume the sale
Of through tickets, both one way aud round
trip via the Union Pacific to points on the
Oregon Short Line at the Short Line rates
that were In effect prior to October L.
Inc Oregon Railway and Navigation
people say the above dispatch has no ref
erence TO Portland business. but. II true,
means only the Montana business, in which
the Short Line was interested. The through
business to Portland over the Union Pa
cifc would require the cooperation OF the
Oregon Railway and Navigation and until
that corporation was solicited and their
agreement obtained no through train need
be looked for over the Oregon Railway and
Navigation.
