Impressed with tho outlook for ton-

Mr. Mlllls wus vory roluctnnt to
ulvo any Information regarding tho
plans of the Southern Pnclilo Com
pany. Ho did, howovpr, Intimate
that there would bo no now company

Mr. Mlllls was aBkod whothor
connection with tho mulu lino would
bo mndo at Eugono or nt Junction

was evident from his attitmjo that hla
own personal opinion was that June
Hon City would bo tho ono solectod.
"Would Eugono bo given an oppor
tunity to make It an object for tho
lino to start from that place?" Mr.
Mlllls wns asked.
"No, I think not," ho replied. "It
would only delay the work. It Is ton
nago that is wanted, and tho shortest
routes. Of courso, thero Is nothing to
nrevont tho trains, especially tho pas
senger trains, being started from Eu

Mr. Mlllls also talked a bit nbouf
tho drawbacks against which tno
Southorn Pnclflc had had to contoud.
Tightness of the monoy market hud
troubled, and tho death of Harrlraan
had disorganized now work to a largo

not wishing to go nhead until thoy
had studied the situations over, but
now they aro agreed that tho tlmo hns

that tho story Is corroborated by n
renort thnt tho Southern Pacific and

pnpor states that It has positive In
