THE SEATTLE EXTENSION OP THE "OREGON" ROAD. The flippant tone the Oregonlan is em and Northern Pacific It will divert the tra.le of the Orient to Settle. "At the present time the Central F.v cine take most of the Union raclflc busli.ess for the Pacific and a close combination at this time exists between the Northwestern, Union Pacific. Cen tral Pacific and the a a Steamship company. It Is known as the Ssn Fran cisco overland route, and one man Is its general agent at Yokohama. "Tl.e Chicago Northwestern un der t) new condition will be the Bret line to be dropped. Its place will be taken by the Illinois Central at Omaha and the Chicago Alton at Kansas City. The Baltimore A Ohio will be the line fftAored from the Atlantic seaboard. The Illinois Central also runt from New Orltrs to Chicago via St, Louts, and if tr. Harrlman seta the Port Arthur rout this will give another Gulf line reaching into Kansas City. Thus, you see, the Northern Pacific will be fed from all points south and east. Chicago and Lake points. All the large cities at the four points of the comisvs will be roots of the Harrlman tree. The trunk will be the present Union Pacific and Its Oregon Short Line connections into Seattle. The har vest of the great line will be found In the Hawaiian islanda, tiw Orient and the Philippines. "It u not at all probable but that If the construction is made to Settle you will see an agreement between the Northtteotern, Burlington and Central Paci lc working toward San Francisco, but the Union Pacific will tap the great market centers doing business with the far east and will practically be In con trol, together with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific of the Oriental business. It will also mean that Seat tle will be built up at the expense of San Franclnoo. The vast amount of business now bWng held by San Fran cisco owing to its present transconti nental traffic arrangement will be transferred to Seattle and made a part of the volume of business to be trans- I acted at this point j "It will also mean a lower frvtght i rate to the Orient. This I will explain ! by saying that the San Francisco lines' BRITISH AGENTS BUYING MULES WILL BR SENT TO AFRICA Priors of Horses a md Mules Grrally Advinced by the Philippine and Boer Win.
