tinuance Of the double train service for
at least several months longer. 1t is
possible that later, during the cold win

to one -rain each way again.
The following Wall street dispatch con-
tains what might be taken as a pretty
straight official tip that there will not
very soon be any change in the present
independent and separate operation of the
Union Pacific, Short Line and Naviga-
ton company: "The following is given
out officially by one of the largest cor
porate interests in the Union Pacific. AS
result of the special meeting of the
stockholders new and greater Union
Pacific system is created. 1t includes the
Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation companies rail and
steamship lines. thus making a complete
stretch of railroad from the Missouri
river to the Pacific coast. The financial
plan for bringing this about has been sue
cessful and will be followed to the letter,
OF the $500 1000 decided upon to convert
the Oregon Short Line bonds and Oregon
Navigation stock, over four-ffths have
been deposited for exchange of the Union
Pacific stock. Union Pacific will directly
or indirectly own five-siXths of the Ore
son-Navigation common stock and over
tWo-thirds of its preferred stock. Sew
eral large hrolders of Navigation pre-
ferred have sold their holdings at about
the market prices rather than make the
exchange. but this has been all bought in
by interests allied with the Union Pacific.

The question of Incorporation has been
gwen death blow by James j. Hin.
president of the Great Northern, from
whom the following decisive letter has
been received:
ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct 5.--To ]. w. With
crop, Esq, Spokane-Dear Sir: | am In
receipt of your letter of the I'd inst in
regard to the proposition to incorporate
the town of Hillyard
This matter was brought to my atten-
ton some days ago, and then took occa-
sion to let the parties interested know
how we would look upon such action T
may say that if 1t is decided to incorpor-
ate the town of Hillyard we will at once
move our shops from that point. This
we can very readily do at comparatively
small expense; and If the agitation for in
corporation continues we may very like
ly move the shops in any event. Yours
truly, Ji:nES ]. HILL.
The promoters of Incorporation had
hoped to secure Mr.. Hills consent by
emitting the car shops from the limits
of the proposed town: but it is now
stated positively that he is decidedly op-
posed to this plan, believing that if the
town is established the limits would soon
be changed to include the car shops.
Word has reached Salt Lake from Port
land that J. G. Woodwork has resigned
as general freight agent of the o. R. &
N. company. There is no signifi'a nee in
this however as Mr.. Woodwork will go
to the Pacific Coast company, which is
closely allied to the other and, in fact
is owned largely by the Hartman syndi-
cate.-Salt Lake Tribune.
