An article appeared in the Tribune yes
terday which told a horrible tale of suf
fering which all passengers travelling east
or west over the Union Pacific would have
to undergo by being obliged to wait in
ogden all the way from eight to a hours
for connecting trains on account of a pro-
posed change of the Oregon Short Lines
schedule. The impression to be gathered
from the article which was headed "WilI
Shut Out the L. p, was that Mr.. Ban
croft, Mr.. Eccles and other Short Line
officials had conspired to reduce the Union
Pacific to the level of a ''jerkwater' rail-
road and finally leave its rails to warp
on the Dlateaus of Wyoming with no
trains running over them. 1t was inspired
by feeling of animosity towards one
OF the great railroad systems OF the coun-
try and was not at all warranted by the
facts of the case. 1t is true that changes
in the schedules of the Rio Grande West

through service between Portland and
Denver have been seriously contemplated. >
and this fact has been we'll known for
some, time. the newspapers simply await
ing the conclusion of the negotiations be-
fore publishing the new time card. But
as Tor arranging schedule which would
break off the traffic arrangements be-
tween the Short Line and the Urion Pa

leave the Union Pacific out in the cold and
also cause great Inconvenience to South
ern Pacific passengers to and from Cali
fornia there is no thought of any SUCH
thing, and whatever changes may be-
made in the schedule of trains between
Portland and Denver. the Union Pacific
will be a party to the arrangement Cen
eral Superintendent f. L. Calvin of the
Oregon Short Line. said yesterday. that
the proposed change of schedule had not
been agreed upon by the Short Line and
Western officials. and that the announce
ment to that effect was entirely pre-
mature. and anyhow that there was no
intention whatever of arranging a
schedule which would cripple the Union
Pacific
Naturally, the Short Line and Western
people have no comment to make con
corning this reckless mass of misstate-
ments. because they are not affected but
the Union Pacific officials are indignant
over the willful perversion of facts. There
need be no further comment on the mat
ter than this. that the developments in
the very near future will explode the
