Arthur Spioi-er, Keneral utUiniey'
for the Union Pwifii- at PmlUixi ,
tuk u shut ut U?n C. Uey, the Smith 1
ein Pueifji. legal litfht, who ciime urn
in the press f the state with the
Hnim llmt the Southern Pacific is I
the ni I run (1 that hiis done fill the plan j
ning fur future development of south
r n urn I extreme southeastern Oregon.'
The low sturteil ovtr the order of the
government to divorce the Southern
Paeific from the Central Pacific rail-!
road- If such an ouler stands then
tli Central Pacific v-ill very likelv!
full under control f the Union Pu
cific, und therein lie the bone of con
tention between the two great- rail
road jtvstenis.
It will ho seen that claims are laid
as to which railroad has developed
Oregon, but the gem ral opinion is
when the nwtns of other slates are,
computed with Oregon that neithc '
load has done n whole lot in late years
to make Oregon u 'better place to'
live in insofar as reclaiming new
territory goes.
Mr. Spencei's letter follows: 1
To the Editor: We have read with
Interest rejoinder of Mr. Uen C. Hey
of the Southern Pacific lines to our'
assertion thai the railroad construe-,
tion in Oregon begun with Unkn IV
cific contiol when the Union P:ic;fi;
was compelkd to divert itself f
Southern Pacfic cimtiol in the bciu
nin of the year
Me in effect asserts that Mr. liar 1
limnn causetf the development, and'
that it was made with Southern Pa
cific moncv. Thi Fupieme Court of'
the United" States, however ;
found that Mr. Harriman'a control of
the nnthetn Pacific resulted from
the Union Pacific's ownershin of Hi:
iwr cent of the stock of the Southern
Pacific. The oninion of the Supreme i
Couit (22t U. S. pfige 9G) then nro-i
ceeds: "Reaching the concluson that I
the Union Pacific thus obtained the!
control of a competing railroad sy.s
Inm, and therebv effected a rrnillina
tion in restraint of trade within the
meaning of the Sherman act. the
uuestion remains, "What should be;
the relief in such ciicumstanves?"
It therefore appears that it was1
Union Pacific control that directed!
the expenditures made in the con
tion of the Southern Pacific lines in
Or eon. '
More important, however, thnn this'
For Sale
the Southern Pacific that the entry of
the Union Paeific into Western -Ore-j
uon would deprive railroads whose
trunk lines (except for the railroad
from Astoria to Portland) merely en-j
tei the state to a tetminal, of the Ore
gon business now turned ovtr to them
by the Southern Pacific. We submit
that if Oiegon transportation lines
ate to be sustained and extended
they iite "justly entitled to tl Ore
gon business and if the policy of!
dtveitmg it to rail lines locate.l
thrcugh other states is to' be follow

plain of the failure of railroad con-
sttuclion and development in Ore-(
gon.
If a home road, maintaining its
gLinral offices and its general ter
minals at Portland and having its
main line through the state, must
