Cornish of Now York, vlco president of tho Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and tho Chi cago & Alton, was also a party to the con ference, It is understood that tho matter under consideration is tho use ot the Northern Pacific tracks from Portland to Seattlo by tho Union Pacific At present tho Overland trains run through to Portland over tho proprietary lines, tho Oregon Short Line and tho Oregon Railway and Navigation company, nnd have done so for years. North of Portland 185 mllos via tho North ern Pacific is Seattlo. The Union Pacific has desired an en trance, into Seattle and the Puget Bound country for tho last fifteen years. In the latter '80s a lino was surveyed and par tially graded, which may be seen to this day, from Portland to Seattlo, but It was never comploted. Within the lost year or two tho project has been ruvlvcd, but in stead of building the line It Is said that a traffic arrangement will bo made with tho Northern raclflc. It Is predicted by local rallrond men that the" new arrangement will be In operation within sixty days. Prosldent Mellen is well known at Union Pacific headquarters. For some time prior to about ten years ago he was purchasing agent, traltlc manager and later acting gen eral manager. The president and his party arrived yesterday morning from St. Paul In the former's private car. Judgo Cornish came In from tho west and Is accompanied by his wife.
