TEMPORARY DEPOT READY Work of Laying Bouble Track and Reducing Grades South of Ta coma to Be Rushed, With " Three Lines Agreed. c tt t TTT.tr tinv. ?R. The agreement between the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific Railroads for uae of the latter a Portland-Tacoma. track for Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific trains was signed yesterday and the Jlarrlman roads will begin to operate trains into Peat tie on January 1. Between Seattle and Tacoma the Union Pacific has Its -own track, owning a half interest In the Milwaukee line connecting these cities.

'A temporary station Is ready for the new Strains here and a permanent one Is being built. 'Terminal Improvements Coming Up. Judge Robert S. Lovett. head of the JHarrlman lines, and Julius Kruttschnltt, I director of maintenance and way. will come to Seattle tomorrow. It is expected tthat while the two railroad officials are - here the entire question of terminal Im ; provement and the extension of Harrl- man lines in Western Washington will be .canvassed thoroughly. Harriman officinls expect that their .line Into Grays Harbor, which will be used Jointly by that system and the Mil waukee, will be completed within a short 4ime. The Harriman Interests will con nect with the Northern Pacific to use that road Into Portland, while the Mil waukee will have to extend the Tacoma Eastern to a Junction with the Grays Harbor branch.

J It is expected in railroad circles that the work of 'grade reduction and double 'tracking on the Northern Pacific between 'Tacoma and Portland will be rushed, now 'that the deal between the three lines Is I completed. The traffic between Portland and Pu ;get Sound is heavy for a single track -line and as the Harriman roads will op erate two or three passenger and other ' freight trains daily, the burden will be 'greatly Increased. " "i think very probably the contract has been signed, but I cannot confirm the re port Just 'now," said Judge Robert S. .-Iyjvett. head of the Harriman system. Just before leaving for Seattle last night, when shown the above dispatch. "For the same reason I am unable at this time t jrtake any announcement as to when we will inaugurate our train service be tween Portland and Seattle. Neither can I say Just what that service will con felt of." Locally it is strongly suspected that the final execution of the contract for the Joint use of the Northern Pacific track by the Hill and Harriman roads between this city and Puget Sound is one of th purposes of the visit of Judge Lovett at thi. time It Is believed all details will be adjusted and the contract finally exe cuted during the visit of Judge Lovett "and his associates to Seattle this week. -in awiATH PRODUCTS HUGE Car of Amazing Exhibits Sent to Omaha and Chicago Shows.
