Saw Could 110 Worked on All the Local lIuslllC88 of the lIrcl\t NortJu"est In connection with the application of the American Loan and Trust company of New York for a separate receiver for the Oregon Short Lne ! and Utah Northern and opening the gateways Ogden and Sliver Dow , for passenger and freight Imslnesl . there Is some mighty Interesting Information to bo gained from figures In the possession of The lice , and It gives a clear insight as to the probable situation : of the Short Line Should the appll- cotton of the American Loan and Trust cone pony prove succesul. The prevailing rates from Kansas City and Omaha to Portland and Puget sound points sro $35 , , second class. These rates run Indiscriminately - criminately through the comlllon points al - hIded to. The first class rate Is U5 from i Missouri river points to Pacific coast point , and run indiscriminately through Colorado and Utah common points. With the low rates on Pacific coast busIness which have been i In effect II Is Impossible to open the Ogden , , . - gateway and protect local rates on the Shorl 1.lne. The entire proportion ) west of Ogden on PacIfic coast tlcllets which can accrue to any line or lines Is 1i3.1 per cent. In case of the Short Line this proportion has to be 11Ivhlell with ; the Oregon Hallwny and Navigation - gntlon company frolll lIuntlngton. This second - end division woulll give the Short Line any where from $9 to $11. while the local rate from Ogden to lIuntlngton [ Is $21.80. or from Ogden to Portland $35. Consequently It Is Impossible to maintain the local rates of r $21.80 from Ogden to lIuntlngton. A passenger who desired to go to Ogden or Sail Lake wohlll buy a ticket to Portlnml under theRe conditions , anti on arrival at Sail I.allo or Ogden sell Il for anywhere from $1 0 to $ \i. \ [ The ticket thus solll by the paSenger i woulll be llEe.1 and resold to a local pnssenger going to Portland or any other point beyond Huntington. The limitations on Pncil1c coast I tickets even as close liS lwenty.four hours beyond schedule train time affords the broIler or middle man sumclent opportunity to resell I the tickets to local passengers who are going back and forth between local points dall ) ' . As regards the Sliver bow gateway , wh'cll I t tapes In Garrison on the line of the Northern I'nclfio for business to Portland and I'ugel sound points , and also lIelena au the line of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern for SL Paul business and business through St Paul to Chicago and other eastern points , tha scalp on through tickets would bo even more than vIa lluntlngton because the Northern I'aclfic on business to points west of GarrIson - son on account of longer mileage would wan t e mora In division than the Navigation corn pnny. In that case the Short Line proportion i between Ogden and Silver Bow would bo a nt best $2 to $3 lower than the through propo ton ! they would get on tickets via Hunting ton It Is safe to Fay , therefore , the propo tlon vIa Garrison woulll run from $6 to $8 n ngalnat a local rnto from Ogden to Garrison of $20.50. On eastbound business from Ogden amI Utah common points via Sliver Dow and li e lena the lines cast of Helena would want II largo division of through rates In order to t protect their local business between Helen and St. Paul and on n first class raid of $37.50 from Provo Utah , which Is n con , - mcn Utah point south of Ogden the , throng rate of $37.50 wonll ! : be whittled down to something like tlib following : ' The St. .Paul and Chicago lines would nl least expect their t , arbitrary of about $11. and out of the $26. 50 remaining the lines east of Silver Dow would expect about $21. there being an arbitrary of $ G.3G between Sliver Dow and Helena which t wonlll leave for the Short LIne , Provo t1U ' Sliver Dow , about $5.60 . against II local rat o " - oC $21.65. And II would bo safe to say th nt 'k ' under these cIrcumstances the local business " . . between Utah and Montana ! poInts would ha"e a v , : to be done by the Short Line for about $ 5. i , ( What Is true of business westbound to Utah , ' Montana and Pacific coast points and ensl- t { - bound out of Utah to St. Paul and caste rn . potnts would apply with the same , If not c greater , force . au busIness tn the opposlle : p- : direction. For example , the local buslnl'ss r done from local points In Oregon Wnshlng- ton , ! Montana and Idaho destined to local r , points In Utah woulll 00 ticketed on lhrough P' ; tickets destined to Kansas Cay , Omaha , 6t , r ' Louis and Ohicogo And the local business fir from Montana to local points In Utah would t' be ticketed on through tickets from Sl. Paul . ; to Ogden , SaIL Lake , Provo and other Utah k ; points. t It would also be ns hard to malnlaln locnl . , rates In Colorado Kansas and Nebraska on account of the eastbound through tickets ns Il would be to maintain local rates In Utnh , j ; Idaho Montana Oregon and Washingto a Therefore If the Short LIne shoulll Inslsl , upon opening up these IntermedIate gatewll's It would be Ilt the utter sacrifice oC the local rales. It will be remembered that these late r - t national gateways were open three years Ilgo . land had to bo closed In order to protect t ha " , local Interests of line Short 1.lne Utah Northern l - orn and UnIon Pacific the competition for the through busIness via these Intermediate gal e - ways when they were open ) being ! so strong that It was Impossible to protect the 10031 t business centerIng al these Intermediate gale- ways. r , The freight situation . Is about the. snme , because while one cannot scalp local freight p busIness on through bills of lading as on local passenger business on through lIckels , one would have to pay out a large amount of money for mileage aera on through freight cars while the Short Line cars would be lying en ' the lelo trllcks. Idle or else assume the expense - , pence of breaking bulk and reloading t the k' freight Into Short Line cars It will be clearly seen that sholllll the trustees of the r consolidated bonds of the Oregon Short L too : and Utah Northern be successful In the all- ' ' Ilolntmont or a separate ) receiver the Short Line al that moment would bo at the mercy of every transcontinental road enterIng Its territory.
