U. P. Officials at
Railroad Hearing
Effort Made to Have Union Pacific
Either Take Over S. &. f. or Make
an Adjustment of Rates.

According to n telegram received
yesterday morning by Secretary Joseph
NUM- of the local railroad committee,
from Attorney l.. f. Armstrong, who
was in Washington on Tuesday to rep
resent the Platte Valley people at the
hearing of the petition for abandon
ment submitted by the Morse Brothers
Company, the Union Pacific officials
mad been to appear before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for conference with the S & L. owners.
Mr.. Armstrong; telegram, dated Sep
TENDER 9th, was as follows.
: ARGUE case today with Sena- =
: tor Hendricks help. Commission i.
= calling u. L. officials to Washing +
he%,ton To meet owncIss OF 5. x e.. y
md Commission and ourselves will try !.
induce Union Pacific to take !.
= over road. If no agreement is i.
= made, indications are that joint =
= rate Will be established to advan- =
+ tage of S. 4 f." !.
1t is to be most fervently hoped that
the Union Pacific Company may be in
duced to tax owe. the operation of the
Saratoga X Encampment line, and the
next best solution for the present
would be an adjustment of rates that
would allow IA profitable operation of
the road by others, and the wire from
Mr.. Armstrong indicates that one or
the other of these plans is likely to be
the result. Powerful influences have
been brought to bear in opposition to
the granting of the petition for ADAM
donment and it is believed the Inter
state Commerce Commission will try
out every chance for n compromise be-
fore taking action on the Morse Bros.
Company petition.
1t is rumored that the financial diff
ficulties of the Laramie Plains line, op-
Grating between Laramie and Walden.
have been relieved by an adjustment
of freight rates with the main line, and
1t may be a similar arrangement will
be made by the Union Pacific and S. &
II. officials. 1t is said that the Morse
Brothers are willing to continue the
local road in operation in case IL can
be made self-supporting.
Further word from Mr.. Armstrong
as to the results of the conference will
be awaited with great interest by all
Platte Valley people.

Washington to the Cheyenne Tribune
said
IL. Il. Armstrong, attorney for the
professionals, and Senators Kendrick of
