an approximation in some other way
In consideration. also, of the fact that
all the Short Line business went to
the Union Pacific, the latter road made
more liberal concession than could
be given for only portion of the
business. Now that the Short Line
had opened ogden to roads competing
with the Union Pacific, the proportion
ate mileage was an imposition on the
last named road. This being the case
says MIR. Clay, 1t was a sheer absurd
ity to expect the Union Pacific to give
TO the Short Line concession for part
of the latter's business that was
equitable only when the whole was
carried. Hence the Union Pacific had
broken Off all relations, and would
neither receive business from nor de-
liver 1t to the Short Line after October
LIST.
The proposition of the Union Pa
citlc is to allow the Oregon Short Line
actual mileage, the same as the Great
Northern and other Union Pacific con-
nections.
Asked as to whether the opening of
the Ogden gateway was a benefit to
Salt Lake, he said he did not see
how 1t could be, since 1t merely added
to the volume of freight that passed
through, while all passengers who
wished to come here We're allowed TO
do so without it,

the latter road would not permit the |
