From Uio west , Instead of the cnst , cwncs
the details ot the agreement under which the
Vnlon P.iclllo secures control of the Oregon
Itnllwny nnd Navigation company , and event
ually the purchase of tlio line. It Is given
out by officials of the latter road , nnd con
firms rcjxrts ) which have frequently been
current that the Union Pacific company
determined to restore the system to Its old-
tlmn Importance.
Thn contract was made In New iork ,
whom negotiations were carried on for sev
eral "wooh 8 , in Which officials of both roads
nt different times took part. W. U. Kelly ,
ronornl solicitor of the Union Pncinc , has
Jiccn In New York for several weeks , and It
1ft understood the progress of these negotln-
tlons Is what detains him here. nnd mny
tirovcnt his return for a couple of weeks
longer. Oregon Short Line ofllclalB have
nlBo been cast on the same crrnnd , ns they
nro concerned In the deal.
The dptnllfi of the agreement ns published
provide that the affairs of the Oregon Hall
way anil Navigation company shall bo man-
HKcd by n board of fifteen directors , ten of
whom are to bo nomlnnted by holders ot pre
ferred Block nnd five by the holders of com
mon stock. This agreement la to terminate
ns noon as 20 per cent In dividends shall have
been paid on the preferred stock , or In 1000
nt the latest.
The Oregon Short Line , which owns the
major portion of the common stock of the
Oregon Hallway and Navigation company. Is
privileged at nny time to secure control ot
the latter by advancing the dividends on
the common stock. This will not bo done
until Uio Union Pacific gets ready < to take
possession of the property , when , as It cou-
itrols the Oregon Short Line. It can nbsorb
the Oregon nnilway nnd Navigation company
at will under this agreement.
ThrniiKli Iilnc < o HIP Count.
Tlio completion of this nErcomont is but
another step In recouping the fortunes of the
Union Pacific , which suffered such dis
integration under the receivership. The two
lines which will furnish the Union Pacific n
direct route to the north Pacific coast nro
now In process of absorption , the Oregon
Short Line ilcal having been completed sev
eral weeks ago , nnd being now In course of
trnnsfer. While the Union Pacific has main
tained operating rights over both of these
roads , such rights nro not no satisfactory ns
direct ownership and control , when the two
rends nra so'Important to the successful
management of the main lino.
During the receivership of the Union Pn-
clfic three of Its main brnnches wore segre
gated nnd placed under sepnrato receivership
nianaceinent. The two roads mentioned In
the foregoing wore part of these and the
third was the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf ,
now the Colorado Southern. The Initial stop
in the return of this rend was taken with
the purchase of the .lulesburg branch , and ,
while It Is denied In Denver thnt this road
will ever ngaln become part of the Union
Pacific system , circumstantial evidence ap
pears to point to the contrary. Important
trackage righto were recently accorded this
load by the Union Pacific , enabling It to
connect with ono of'Its ' Important brnnches ,
which Is n desirable agreement to both
parties. Further , it was said by a Union
Pacific official In this city n few days ngo
thnt when the road got ready to absorb the
Colorado Southern the absorption would take
place. He said the stockholders of no com
pany eared so much for the Identity of the
road In which they -were Interested ns they
did for the value of the stock they held.
From this It Is Inferred that the Colorado
Southern would bo more valuable ns n part
of the Union Pnclfio system than as n sinnll
Independent line nnd the stockholders of
the road would gladly welcome the prospect
of a transfer.
S.VI.1C OF THE UNION PACIFIC LANDS.
ConimlNNliiiiitr MrAHiiMfer .Till leu of
Ituuout Action by tlic Ijourlnlntiiru.
" \V. A. McAllaster , Innd commissioner of
the Union Pacific , In speaking of the In
definite postponement of the resolution In
the state senate calling upon the government
to forfeit the lands which are advertised to
bo sold under the sinking fund mortgage ,
nald the action of the senate , by an over
whelming majority , Is to him n sulllclent
answer to the criticisms made by the friends
of the resolution.
"Had the resolution been adopted , " snld
Mr. McAHnstcr , "In tlio light of decisions
by the supreme court of the United State *
it could bnvo no effect upon the lands to be
uold. It would be simply a request to thu
Koverninent to tnko action nnd the proba
bilities arc it would have ended there. Out
( luring the tlmo under which the resolution
nlleged the company hold the lands unlaw
fully Homo 4,000,000 acrcti have been Bold.
The adoption of the resolution by
the legislature , which has no Jurisdic
tion over the case , would have had the
effect of putting a cloud upon the title of nil
that land , mid have Incurred a hardship to
all the present owners. It was more to pro
tect their interests that the company asked
Iho committee , to which the resolution was
referred , to be heard before u report was
made. Our reaucBt WBH granted , nnd we
presented our case just ns wo would have
donu to a court of law. After hearing the
evidence on both sides , thu committee , by a
unanimous vote excepting that of the author
of the resolution , reported in favor of In
definitely postponing the resolution , and the
eouate adopted the leport by n vote of 23 to
10 , H seems to me that that vote Is evidence
that our contention In thu premises was cor
rect. "
The sale of the Nebraska lands will be
Jiold at thu front door of the court house it

extend to Cuba and Porto Hlco. They will
visit Chicago , Dofiton , New York and Wash

will bo necessary for them to go on to < he
new possessions. H Is expected that by that

that arrangements will bo made by which
'the- ' government ofilclals In the Islands will

The Board of Park Commissioners at the
regular meeting Monday afternoon com-
mcncexl to cut the garment to fit the cloth
that Is to reduce ite expenses for the year
In order to como within the limit of Uio
levy for park purposes. 'As ' a etnrter , It wai
ordered thnt nil lights bo cut off In nil
the parks In the city , commencing on March
1. No other retrenchment was ordered , but
fstlmatcs for Tiinlntnlnlng the parks nt the
lowest figure possible during the year wore
reported and referred.
Superintendent Adams presented the eall-
mnle of the lowest amount for park mnln-
tcnnnca. The nggregnte Is $8,065 , distributed
ns follows : Hnnscom park , $3,700 ; Hlvcr-
view , $1.633 ; Jefferson square , $360 ; 'Miller
park , $760 ; Elrawood park , JSIO ; Florence
boulevard , $680. This money Is to bo ftpent
for labor , except the wages of ono pollco-
mnu for Hnmscom park. Laborers nre to be
paid $45 a month and man and team $ SO. A
greater portion of the Horal decorations In
the parks will foe done nwny m-lth , as the
rumnlndiT of the $11,500 avnllablo for the
parks will 'bo needed for material for mnln-
tcnnnce. No Improvements of nny chnr-
acter nro provided for. Thla estimate waa
referred until the next meeting.
\orth Slilcrn AVunt Money.
In sharp contrast to these stops toward
retrenchment , n committee from the 'North
Side Improvement club , consisting of Messrs.
Cinlg , iMorrlson , Waddell , Payne nnd Hess ,
petitioned that more money bo spent In Im
proving the pnrks nnd boulevards In the
north part of the city. They 'wanted ' Miller
park grassed nnd the grass protected ; they
Insisted that the board should not nllow
Fontanclle xmrk to be plowed up and uecd
as n grzlng meadow and wanted It planted
with trees ; they wanted Florence boulevard
to 'be better cindered. They thought they
were entitled to this much In view of the
money spent on lUvervlow park last year.
Commissioner Pnlmor pointed out that
Hlvorvlow park has hnd somowhnt the best
of it , because the south sldors are hustlers ,
bnvo donated land for the park nnd have
worked up enthusiasm nmong south sldors ,
On the other hand , ho said the north alders
hnd been quiet nnd the board had done
nothing on Its own motion because taxpayers
look upon Miller and Fontanello parks ns
white elephants nnd will not countenance
much expenditure on them. Hut despite
this ho assorted the board has no money
for Impiovements this year and not enough
for maintenance.
Crippled by the Council.
"We have been simply crippled by the
council , " ho said. "Tho situation has sim
ply reached the point where the taxpayers
nnd poor people must Bottle the question
whether they want nny parks or not. "
This settled the petition. Captnln Palmer
advised that the north slders , ns well ns
other citizens , should hold mnss meetings
and pass resolutions asking that the $15,000
or more the city receives annually from
the county for road purposes be turned over
to the park board. If such resolutions are
passed an effort will t > e made to persundo
the legislature to have the fund used In this
way.

The opening of South Twenty-fourth street
over the Burlington and Union Pacific rail
road tracks , for which the people In the
southwestern portion of the city have potl-
tloncd , Is likely to bo Indefinitely postponed.
This Is the conclusion to bo drawn from the
answer ot General Manager Holdrcgo of the
Kurllngton to 'tho ' resolution adopted by the
council at the last meeting , rcqueutlng the
roads to tear down their fences , open tlio
street and place a watchman and electric
lights nt the crossing.
In his communication Goncral Manager
Holdrcgo says that ho considers It very In-
advlsablo to open the street. Ho says there
IB a heavy grade where the crossing Is pro
posed , and that if thu fences are torn down
accidents of a serious nature are likely to
result. Ho eas that ho does not believe
the council understood the situation when It
adopted the resolution , and advises Itiat the

PLYMOUTH , Ind. , Feb. 27.-JThe experi
ment of thawing out the Iron water mains
by electricity has been tried here. Hardly
had fho heavy arc wires been connected
with the mains nnd a circuit established ,
however , wlion every telephone bull In town
began making a furious racket. Most , of
the ground connections to the tclephono sys
tem are made 1)y attaching the wire to
water pipes. The mains could soon bo
thawed if the people could stand the nolso
of the bolls ringing.
