From a reliable re port received here this morning, It is learned that the Harrlman interests Intend to extend their system Into British Columbia. The fact that Dartles of railroad of ficials representing the line visited here the first of the week, and con ferred with the local representatives, leads prominent railroad peopls to be lieve that Harrlman intends to build Into the Vancouver territory at the expiration of the Canadian Pacific agreement with the Northern Pacific railroad, which takes place in about 12 months. It Is gathered from reliable sources that a party of Union Pacific people arrived In the city several days ago, and are now looking over a probable route into the British Columbia coun try', to take In that portion of they country not touched by the Northern Pacific's present line and to connect with the Canadian Pacific. It Is also stated that the Northern; Pacific will not be renewed at the ex piration, and that a strong opportuni ty is open for a competing line to build Into the territory and enter tnto agreement with the Canadian Pacific. Undoubtedly if the Union Pacific Interests build north of Snntiio h. nn will seek an Intermediary route be tween the coast line of the Great Northern and main line of the Seattla division or the Northern Pacific.
