Thre lino doubt about tnau mere is a no no doubt that both roads bava Jolnd In th pumhaae of th mil of ground acquired for Joint terminals In Lwi ton.. But further! than this t her has been no harmony and apparently ther is none now. In 'fact, even with th Joint construction In progress, Harri man refused to aell Hill a half, in terest in the O. R.

Thar had been talk of A holding com- nanv. which would acaulr all the llnea territory. 'Now there la talk that tha Northern Paclflo Insists upon handling th roada.

Attention la called to the fact that Hill has finally built the road along tha Columbia out of Portland: will aoon finish th line connecting thla road with tha Joint road t Rinaria: he owna a nan interest in the latter road, which brings him to Lewlston: from Lewlston his Clearwater line carries him to Kooskla, and there now remains only the link of 115 miles throuah the Clearwater mountains to Missoula.
