rectors chosen at the annual meeting
OF stockholders OF the oregon Short

The answer Of the Gould adherants is
Because we have got them on the run

man this morning PECULIARLY asserted
that he was expecting any moment to
get wire from Gould ordering the

CEMENTlNG OF HARMONY,
The true inwardness Of the starting
developments on the Hartman lines
during the past two days points 70 the
cessation Of hostllIties among the COM
petltors In this and adjacent territory
and q firm cementlng Of harmony

SOME CHANGES,

The fact that Standard oil and Could
are now heavily interested In Union
Pacific and combined hold the balance
Of power, has already been set forth,
together with the attendant conse.
duences coming In its train, not the
least being the abandonment Of the
heretofore cast-iron gateway policy,
combined agencies and last but not
least the postponement Of the building
OF the Western Pacific until such time
as will be necessary to resurrect the
boyle and hold II up as a club to make
the Southern Pacific behave.

up the situation as follows;
The election OF Henry G. Frick ana
William c. Rockefeller, both OF whom
are representatives OF Standard OIL In
terests, 10 the board Of directors OF the
Union Pacific aroused Wall street,
which thinks that changes among
western roads generally are tending to-
ward important readjustments Of rail-
road relations In that section OF the
country In the direction OF greater sta.
bilIty and harmony. As a result Of re-
cent changes among directors OF rail-
roads IN the northwest, management or
the properties IL now largely In the
hands OF the same groups Of capitalists.
The relations between the Union Pacl-
nc, Chicago & Northwestern and st.
Paul are now close,
With the election u II, c, Flick to the
board OF directors OF the Union Pacific,
there are now four men who are direc-
tors OF both the Union Pacific and Ch!-
cago & Northwestern. These four capt.
talists are Marvin Hughitt James still
man, Oliver Ames and Henry 9. Frlck
The relations existing between these
two roads are seen 10 be very close. II
Is reported In Wall street that az tho
annual meeting OF the Chicago \
Northwestern there will be changes In
the board OF directors which VIII result
in making the relations between the
two roads still closer.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & 81. Paul

interests. The election Of two addition.
al Standard Oh representatives 20 the

is Interpreted IN Wall street as mean.
ing that the relations between 81. Paul

close In future,
