Portland, September 1.-THE contro-
versy about the divisions between the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line
companies, which caused the opening OF
the Ogden Gateway and the establishment
of the through rates and train service in
connection with the Colorado lines, cul-
minated today in the cancellation OF all

on the oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company's lines, and the disconhnuance
OF through train service via Granger and

The tariffs on Oregon business are
cancelled because the Union Pacific re-
