The official announcement that the
Oregon short Line has, by purchasing
the entire holdings Of A w. McCune
and David ECcles, acquired tie Utah
x Pacific was made yesterday, both by
Mr.. McCUns at New York and Mr. Ec-
Giles at Ogden. The price was in the
neighbOrhOod Of 1850, 600, and each of
the principal shareholders named is
supposed to have profited largely by the
deal.
Predictions Verified.
More than a month ago, when the
Short Line was discovered making a
desperate fight for the old Union Pa

abandoned years age. The Herald stat
ed that the Short Line would take up
its option on the Utah & Pacific, which

between Senator Clark 5 line and the

project would be abandoned. Still
others went so far as To say that some
understanding had been reached be-
tween the Cla~k people and the Short
Line and even predicted that Clark
would be president of the company
formed TO extend the Utah & Pacific.
This conclusion was based on the
friendly relations that are known to
exist between Sena tor Clark and the
former owners Of the Utah & Pacific.

No Talk of Canal Sale

the French canal concession. adding that
the completion of The canal within eight
years WAS a certainty.

the hands of David Eccles, who owned
a hair interest in the Utah & Pacific.
Mr.. Eccles frankly admitted the fsets
IN the case. He said: 1T is true that
[ have disposed of my half of the stock
in the Utah & Pacific to the Oregon
Short Line, and 1 presume Mr.. Nc
Cune has transferred his TO the same
PARTS. There Will be no hitch in the
transaction. 1t is already completed"
The sale was negotiated by Mr.. Nc
Cune in New York during the past ten
days The announcement of its con-
summation has been looked for daily
for several days past.
The transaction was explained last
night at Ogden by David Eccles He
said the entire holdings of himself had
been purchased and paid for yesterday.
He understood the holdings of Mr.. Nc
Cune had likewise been disposed of to
the same company Negotiations have
been on for about ten days, but before
Mr.. Eccles would sell he insisted upon
knowing who were the purchasers. Yes
terday he received a telegram from Mr.
McCune, assuring him that the deal
was with the Short Line. and would be
positively closed with Vice President
Cornish.
Over a Million.
The transaction, taking the stocks
and bonds involved at their face value,
amounts to S1.21S.000. The road was
originally stocked tor 1875. 900. and
bonded for S672. 900. But of these bonds
the Short Line company already held
$219.0oO, for the rolling stock and iron
used on the road. OF the 1898. 900 bonds
Mr.. Eccles owned $4,000. and Mr.. Nc
Cune $l97, 600, the ownership OF the odd
bond having been determined by tossing
a coin. The road had been stocked at
Sll 600 a mile, and bonded at $1,000 a
mile. and was not quite seventy-dve
miles long.
At the time the gentlemen went into
the enterprise the Oregon Short Line
took an option TO purchase the road at
the end of five years Consequently the
deal is practically the taking up of the
option before it had matured, the date
OF maturity being two years hence. Mr..
Eccles declined to state the amount
paid for his holdings, but said he had
lost nothing on his investment. He
said this in a manner to indicate that
he might have gained a great deal.
The Utah & Pacific extends from Mil
ford, the southern terminus of the Short
Line, TO Uvada, on the state line be-
tween Utah and Nevada. It is in di-
rect line with all former surveys to the
southern part of the Pacific coast.

OF securing teachers without delay and
the large number required. these positions
were excepted from the provisions of the
civil service act. 1t is believed that con-

their inclusion. The selection of skIfied

Fitness of Employees.
The question of ascertaining the fitness
of employees now in the service will be
considered by the board at the, earliest
practical date. At the beginning of the
civil administration, says the report. it is
essential that the service should not be
embarrassed by the presence OF incompe-
tent employees. The act, while giving
preference to natives and soldiers. still
safeguards the service by requiring that
they shall pass their examinations suffi-
GENTLY high to have their names certified
The report says that natives found to
have the capacity for positions now held
rapidly as practicable. The Filipinos the
report says, have aptitude and a desire
