DEAL WILL AID PRODUCER.
President of Union Pacific Believes

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.--President Hor-
ace G. Burt. of the Union Pacific rail-
road. now in this city, in the course
of an interview on the subject of the
recent Union-Southern Pacific deal,
said;
II do not interest myself in the road
from the point of view of banker or
broker, because | am fully taken up
with the practical physical side of the
property. l know much less about
Wall street operations than | do of
bridge building and ballastng and
grading practical railroads. consequent

concerning the recently announced
transfer of control of the Southern Pa

ed in Pacific securities and not by the
Union Pacific Railway Company.
This union of interests, If such a
step has been taken, will bring the
Union Pacific into even closer harmony
with the Central Pacific, whose capt.
tai stock was acquired by the South
ern Pacific in 1899. The Union Pacific
tracks will continue to run through
trains over the Central Pacific tracks
as heretofore. There will be no change
in the relations which now exist be-
tween the Union Pacific and the Ore
gon Short Line Of 1889 miles, which it
controls. now will there be any violent
disturbance in present traffic arrange
ments with the Southern Pacific If
the reported deal is really a fact, ev-
eryone interested will receive a direct
benefit thereby. Greater economies.
through the elimination Of agencies,
will be effected and every mile OF the
entire system will increase in value in
proportion as We are able to put more
and more capital into the general
equipment and Improvement Of the
roadbed.

time that II the two great systemE
have been brought under one control.
no attempt will be made to hurt the
interests Of the thousands OF producers
who are practically dependent upon our
lines for the marketing Of their pro-
ductg. The Western farmers and
wheat men. as well as the mining and
cattle interests. will rest assured that
the cordial relations which nov exist
between them and the Union Pacific
will not be disturbed. The strength
which the company now possesses must
necessarily result yearly TO the advant-
age Of the country traversed, bring
ing about fairer and more stable adj
justment OF transportation rates"

THE CONVENTION BILL.

Both houses of the General Assem-.
bly, have passed the bill providing fol
calling the constitutional convention
ordered by Tia people
It's provisions, in brief, are that the
convention shall consist Of one hun
dred delegates apportioned upon the
House basis; that the election shall
take place on the fourth Thursday i'm
May, when county officers are elected {;
that the convention shall assemble in
Richmond June 18th, aud that the
new Constitution shall be submitted to
the qualified voters Of the Common
wealth for ratilication.- Richmond
Dispatch
There isn't provision Of the bill we
approve. "Shall be submitted to the
qualified voters of the commonwealth
for ratification" is nonsense. Men
worthy to represent Virginia in con-
ventiOn like that can be trusted to do
such work as will not need the pruning
hook
Let US hope, however, that Senator
was right when he said
hat the convention will not be bound
by instructions Of the Legislature, but
laugh them out Of COURT
1t looks as though some men in au-
hority are trifing with the people in
his matter of the convention.
