The officials Of the Oregon Short Line
affirm that they know nothing regard
ing the Associated Press dispatch from
Omaha, which stated that President
Burt of the Union Pacific, with other
officials of that road, were in consulta-
tom in that city to agree upon a plan
of consolidating the system by closer
alliance with the Oregon Short Line.
1t is said that the Vanderbilt interests
want the Union Pacific operated as at
present, but that il is desired that the
Oregon Short Line shall become a part
Of the Union Pacific, and continue to be
operated from Salt Lake City. Grad
ually ii is proposed that the Short Line
shall take possession Of the Oregon
Railway 81 Navigation line ami operate
this system also from this city. The
great distance from Omaha to Port
land, Ore, is given as one Of the rea-
sons why it is proposed that the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation system shall
be operated from Salt Lake City.
The persistency with which this ru-
NOR Of consolidation is sent out from
the Headquarters Of the Union Pacific
would seem to indicate that there must
be some truth in it. The only Short
Line official who could be seen yester-
day was General Traffic Manager 5. w.
port.
Salt Lakes Importance.
There is one fact taken in connection
with the report, however, which cannot
be denied and that is that it serves to
indicate that Salt Lake City, owing to
its geographical location, is destined to
become one Of the greatest railroad
centers in the entire west. That this is
a recognized fact is indicated in more
than one way. The Union Pacific, con-
trolling as it does the majority OF stock
in the Short Line and the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation company, can doubt
less, when the proper time arrives,
bring out the proposed alliance.
This would mean much to Salt Lake
CITY. At present the entire mileage OF
the Short Line is 1,424.7, while that Of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany is approximately 1000. The OPP
Grafton of the latter system from this
city would be of benefit to Salt Lake
City. II would mean the giving OF
much employment, for the force of the
general offices here would very natural
" have to be greatly Increased, while
the general offices Of the Oregon Rail-
way q Navigation company at Port
land would be done away with, Whlch,
upon the whole, would be the means OF
the saving Of a great expense. AS the
roads are pracOcdlly contributed ny II
same financial interests, this is prob
ably one Of the ultimate views of the
Union Pacific Even should the forces
now employed in the general offices at
Portland be brought here instead of
being secured from Salt Lake City, yet
1t would mean something in the way OF
revenue to the city.
The steamers of the Oregon Railway
& Navigation company. which ply pe-
tween Portland and San Francisco,
would retain their offices at Portland,
hut this would require a. comparatively
small force The proposed move is
evidently one for the reduction of what
the Union Pacific apparently considers
an unnecessary expense

PRUNE SHIPMENTS.
Culture of Prunes Profitable In Idaho
Production Increasing


Felix Martin, one of the travelling
representatives of the Earl Fruit COM
pany, was in the city yesterday. frater-
nizing with his old friend, Charles A.
Houck Mr.. Martins headquarters are
at Portland, and his chief duties are to
contract with Idaho orchardists for
shipments of prunes. Last year fifty
eight cars of prunes were shipped from
Idaho east, and this years shipments.
Mr.. Martin says, will be not less than
$50 cars. In southern Idaho 1900 acres
are IN prunes.
The crop is short because of early
frosts, but the growers find profit in
selling at SIS a ton, or at the rate of
500 an acre
Mr. Martin declares that prunes are
the least perishable of any shipping
fruit, as was demonstrated once when
car lot was twentv-four days on the
road, but on arriving at Boston the
shipment was in such good condition
that il sold for 81 453.

There are rumors af1oat that Vernal
will have bank in the near future. The
ACCESSIBILITY of such a move has been I'M

owing to the locality and the frequent Wis

never been carried out, as the risk was
considered too great.
The establishment of the district court,

however changed this and the feeling of
