Gray of the Union Pacific system said recently that in view of the widespread discussion of the recent decision of the supreme court hold ing illegal the control of the Central Pacific by the Southern Pacific, and the frequent reference to the Union Pacific in this connection, it seemed timely to make a statement of the interest of the Union Pacific in the situation resulting from that de cision. He said: "Both the Union Pacific and Central Pacific, constituting the first transcontinental line, were con structed 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 com munication, travel and transporta tion as far as the public and govern ment are concerned, as one con nected, continuous line. Shortest Line Formed "The Union Pacific lines were constructed westwardly from the Missouri river at Omaha and Kansas City, about 1000 miles, while the Central Pacific was constructed east wards from San Francisco and Sacramento about 800 miles, the two lines meeting near Ogden, Utah. They are essential to each other and constitute the shortest and best line across the continent between San Francisco and the east, have never been commonly owned, or under common control, except during the period from 1901, when Mr. Harriman, for the Union Pacific, bought control of the Southern Pacific, to 1913, when the supreme court decided that the control by the Union Pacific of the Southern Pacific was in violation of the antitrust law and required its release. But they Justification Sought "The Union Pacific in that case sought to justify its control upon the ground that it had to buy the South ern Pacific in order to get control of the Central Pacific, and prevent discrimination against it by the Southern Pacific in favor of the latter's southerly line via New Or the leans and Galveston, but supreme court held this defense in suffleent, and pointed out that under the Pacific railroad acts, discrimina tion against the Union Pacific, the owner of the line from Ogden to the Missouri river, by the westerly end of the line, from Ogden to San Francisco, would be a violation of the acts under'which the entire line was built, and observed that 'the ob ligation to keep faith with the gov ernment continued, as did tue > islative power of congress cinder' ing these roads, notwithstanding changed forms of ownership and or ganization.' And the government proceeded by the suit decided last week to complete the job of making * he first transcontinental line formed those two links entirely free and Independent and free from r j va i w hich had only been partially accomplished by the de cision in the Union Pacific case. Litigation Avoided , '* Altho there was a clear recogni ^cial^resT^Z Union Pacific onVhalHf Se^lne'bSu undfr tile Pacific rail rl"d Z with theaid 0 f government bonds and land grants, the Union Pacific, notwith standing the policy of the Southern Pacific to favor the southern route, as stated by the supreme court de ® s /° n ' ' las refrained thus far from befweln "Ihe "govelnmen't ISfuS s ou th ern Pacific; but we have been apprehensive that in case the . , ,, , ,, , . preme court should decide in favor of the Southern Pacific it would yield to temptation to route even more of this San Francisco and cen tral California traffic in favor of its long haul and via the longer route thru El Paso against the short direct route thru Ogden, which affords it a smaller division of the thru rate. su i Vindication Sought "This apprehension has been very greatly increased by the tentative consolidation plan promulgated by the interstate commerce commis sion, which, while Heaving the Cen tral Pacific with the Southern Pacific provided for the merging of the Rock Island with 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 quite naturally, it would be inclined to favor, as far as it could control the traffic, as against the short and direct haul thru Ogden. Such an arrangement the Union Pacific ob viously would be interested in op posing to the last resort, and might be expected to take all measures necessary for the vindication of its rights under the Pacific railroad acts. "The interest and right of the Union Pacific is to see that the west erly half of the federal railroad system from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean, of which the Union Pacfic is the easterly half, shall perform its share of the duties imposed by the Pacific railroad acts, which provide for the operation of said system as 'one connected, con tinuous line' without discrimination of one against the other by whomso ever operated/ U. P. Concerned "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 independ ence of the Central Pacific as a com petitor, In connection with the Union Pacific and its connections, of the Southern Pacific, via Its El Paso route, the Union Pacific is directly concerned in the treatment and dis position of the Central Pacific, to the end that the thru transcontin ental line which together they con stitute shall, in the language of the supreme court, 'be able freely to compete with the Southern Pacific's southern line, to serve the public efficiently, and to accomplish the purpose of the legislation under which it was (they were) con structed.' "The Union Pacific is willing to buy the Central Pacific from the Southern Pacific, if fair and reason able terms can be agreed upon. But it is not seeking to buy the Central Pacific, and it is not necessary for a compliance with the decree of the supreme court that it should. All the Union Pacific will ask is that the Central Pacific be made an inde pendent line to be operated as such, and that it perform its duties as the Union Pacific is performing its duties under the legislation by which they were both constructed, and that If it is to be merged into any system, under plans being worked out by the interstate com merce commission, it be merged with the Union Pacific, with which it forms a continuous transcontin ental line, competing with all others. "It is inconceivable that the com mission ever would, even if it could, under the decision of the supreme court, put it in the power of the Southern Pacific or any other com pany operating and having a larger interest in a rival and competing line, to close this gateway, in the face, so to speak, of the shortest and by far the best and most efficient transcontinental transportation line, and certainly the rights of the Union Pacific, which is still bound, as is the Central Pacific, under the Pacific railroads acts, are entitled to con sideration. "There is very active propaganda in California for the purpose of working up public sentiment, with the idea, presumably, of influencing the interstate commerce commission to exercise some v-ery 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 competing 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 the public and there is no reason improved in service and facilities to why the present instance should constitute an exception in this re spect." IN HONOR OF MRS. JOHN COWEN - The home of Mrs. F. J. Cowen was the scene of a very pretty reception Tuesday afternoon given by Mrs. F. J. Cowen and Mrs. W. E. Patrie in honor of Mrs. John Cowen of Port land. About seventy-five guests were present during the afternoon and were received at the door by the Misses Rose Mary Cowen and Mary Virginia Hart.
