Officials of the Oregon Short Line flatly deny the story from San Francisco that the local Jurisdiction of the Southern Pacific Pa-cific from Ogden to Sparks, Nev.. will be transferred to San Francisco. They assert as-sert that the story of . the Nevada papers pa-pers as to the change being made is absolutely ab-solutely untrue. ' ' - The recent visit of Vice-President and General Manager W. H. Bancroft and Superintendent E." Buckingham to San Francisco gave rise to the story. It Is said. The officials all declare that . the reason for their visit to the coast was for the purpose of viewing the ruined city. It is contended that the division was placed In charge of the Salt Lake office for the reason that San Francisco had all the work that could be attended to. and it was to relieve congestion that the change was- made.
