Show Why Does Southern Pacific Publicity Ignore I TNT rcentIy the literature issued in behalf of the Southern Pacific's retention of the Central Pacific, in violation of the decision of the Supreme Court of the States was silent as to the Western Pacific. Maps issued in support of "A 21 flam statement of Facts" show only the Union and Central Pacific railroads. Within the last few weeks the Southern Pacific has admitted the existence of the Western pacific, but has represented that the Western Pacific is too weak to be regarded seriously as a competitor of the Central Pacific.

(Provo Chamber of Commerce resolution, September 29, 1922.) Western Pacific's Competitive Activities r "The disruption of the existing system of the Southern Pacific Company would afford opportunity for another system to develop a position of monopolistic and predominating strength." (State of Utah's petition of intervention to Interstate Commerce Commission, October 28, 1922.) According to Western Pacific officials, the Western Pacific except at times when all roads were issuing embargoes has never declined a shipment of freight. The Western Pacific has, on various occasions, detoured train loads of fruit for the Santa Fe on account of washouts and other interruptions to traffic on that line. "A strong effective transportation agency would be irreparably ruined In order to create a transportation monopoly for Western America. Will this section permit the utter domination of one railroad system?" (Southern Pacific's Bulletin, October 2, 1922. "A plain statement of facts with 3 maps and 9 exhibits.") The Western Pacific has assisted in building up the livestock industry in Nevada, fully 98 of which is competitive with the Central Pacific, and has equipped a liberal supply0f stock cars with double decks for sheep and lamb movement.

The Western Pacific reduced the rate on copper bullion from Garfield to San Francisco, which permitted it to move through the Panama Canal. The Central Pacific never met this rate. (Utah business men have been led to believe that this reduced rate was put in by the Southern Pacific,1 which is not the case.) The Western Pacific also initiated reduced rates) tell her- of his love. Day by day the Impulse strengthened to let her know, In some delicate fashion, that his love for her still existed. For some time he had decided what form his message ought to take, but to use for the purpose the conspicuous means of a flower bed would never do. - A Western Pacific fast freight trains between the Pacific Coast and Utah are scheduled four hours quicker in each direction than the Central Pacific. The Scenic Limited of the Western Pacific, providing through for ice between St. Louis and Chicago and San Francisco, is faster mile mile than the Overland Limited on the Central Pacific. The Western Pacific has more than one thousand miles of railroad. It has 6,236 freight eras. Its facilities compare favorably with other lines of similar mileage. The Western Pacific now has an order in for 2,000 new refrigerator 750 more cars The Western Pacific built 500 coal cars in 1917 and both on inand1j20 off Utah and Idaho in service beet coal and in used were These Western Pacific rails.
