' A ' sensational report Is current ifl
Pacific northwest railroad and finan
cial' circles today that- Great Northern's
startling advances In thewstock market
during the past 'few days is due to
Ihe fact that HW has sold the Great
Northern's coast fine from Sand Point,
Idaho, to the Puget sound to the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
The report reached her through O.
W. Moryw, general land and townslte
gent for the Chicago, Milwaukee ft
St. - Paul railroad at Seattle, but Is
doubted by Hill officials in Portland.
The Great Northern line from Spokane
to Puget sound is considered one of the
most valuable . sections- of 1 the . road,
running a it does through the great
Washington timber . belt ... and from
Seattle north into British Columbia.
According to this rumor the North
western Intends completing a coast ex
tension and will build from Seattla to
Portland. .. ...
At present the nearest thing to a
coast extension that the Northwestern
haa la its line terminating at Casper,
Wyo. When the St Paul announced
that It would build a line to the Pacific
coast tha . Northwestern was generally
credited with having . like ambitions.
J. J. Hill's recent announcement that
there would be no more Pacific coast
transcontinental lines for many years
to come -would seem to put a quietus on
any talk of a new line, however.
, The recent big raise In Great North
ern stocks is still unexplained. Great
Northern has been the strongest stock
on the exchange during this week and
yesterday it made an advance of 2V4
points and today went up 3 points more,
closing at 2 higher than yesterday.
This Is the highest point It has touched
