Washington, Oct. 0. --When tho Union Pacific reorganization is com plete it will represent the largest capi talization and a greater mileage than any other railroad system in tho United States. Tho capitalization will bo upon a sufficiently broad basis to pro vide for the taking back of substan tially all the branches and feeders that comprised the Union Pacific system as it was in its full gl y. This means a great amount of money. Tho 1,800 miles of rails which will be sold on the last day of November in Omaha represent in mortgage indebtedness of one sort or another about S12Ji,000, 000.

When rehabilitated and squarely on its feet the new Union Pa cific Hull road company will stand as the greatest achievement in American rail road reconstruction greater even than the Northern Pacific or tho Southern Pacific railways.
