He said: Both the ' Union Pacific and Central Pacific, constituting the first transcontinental line, were constructed under Pacific railroad acts of congress, passed .in the sixties; which provided for a continuous line of railroad from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean, and provided further that they should be operated and used for all purposes of communication, travel and transportation as for as the public and government are concerned, as one connected, continuous line. n, unities in and around Hyrum ' Shortest Line Formed. . and Blacksmith Forte canyon TheUnion-- ' Pacific lines, were , The HytUm- Chamber ofr Com- constructed wgskardly from the merce presented the vitqrsjwith Missouri rivitfifbm'aha ane Kanpamphlets explaining our resoursas City,, about . 1000 miles, while ces knd possibilities. the Central.

This apprehension has been very greatly increased by 'the tentative consolidation plan, pfomulgafed by the interstate commerce commission, which, while leaving the l Pacific with the'Southern Pacific, provided for the merging of the Rock Island witlj the southern Pacific, thus giving the latter a 100 per cent haul over its own lines - via El Paso, even to,, the middle west as well as to the Atlantic seaboard via New Orleans and Galveston, which Cen-tro- quite naturally, it would be inclined to favor, as far as it could control the Traffic, as against the short and direct haul through Ogden.

The interest and right of theUn ion Pacific is to see that the westerly half of the federal railroad system from the Missouri .river to the Pacific ocean, of which the Union Pacific is the easterly half, shall perform its share of the duties impos ed by the Pacific railroad acts, which provide for the operation of said system as one connected, continuous line without discrimination of one against the other by whomsoever operated.

Now that the supreme court has cancelled the lease and enjoined the ownership of the stock of the Central Pacific by the Southern Pacific and decreed the independence of the Central Pacific as a competitor, in connection with the Union Pacific and its connections, of the Southern Pacific, via its El Paso route, the Union Paciffc is directly concerned in the treatment and disposition of the Central Pacific, to the end that the through transcontinental line wljich together they constitute shall, in the language of the supreme court, be able freely to compete with the Southern Pacifics southern line, to serve the public efficiently, and to accomplish the purpose of the legislation under whidh it was (they were) M The Union Pacific is willing to buy the Central Pacific from the Southern Pacific, if fait and reasonable term can be agreed upon.

There is very active propaganda in California for the purpose of working up public sentiment, with the idea of influencing the presumably, interstate commerce commission to exercise some very doubtful power in the premises, which need not be commented upon now, further than to say that according to reports it has gone beyond the bounds of' possibility in representing the alleged detrimental effect that would result from carrying out the supreme court desire. The rates would not be more, or the service less, if the Central Pacific were made an independent and com-- , peting line as ordered by the supreme court, but every reason just to the contrary, and as for the possibility of the Central Pacific being merged with the Union Pacific, no line has ever come under the control of the Union Pacific which has not been improved in service and facilities to the public and there is no reason why the present instance should constitute an exception in this respect. court, put Miss Aften Hill of Salt Lake City, of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baxter of Hyrum, was married to Gordon C.
