" A Chicago dispatch of November 27 says the directors of the Chicago A Northwestern Railway company, have decided that it will soon become neces sary to extend that road to the Pacific Coast in order that it may continue to be a strong competitor of the St. Paul and the Burlington roads. With this end in view the company is preparing to issue approximately 830, 000,000 worth of new stock, which is in the ratio of one to four of outstanding stock. It is also known, though not admitted by the company's officials, that an ap proval has been given for construction of at least 1500 miles of road to be com pleted within the next two or three years, It is known through Western Senators that the company has com pleted and approved surveys of lines to three important Pacific Coast points namely, Portland, Seattle and San Francisco. Ia connection with the proposed Issue of new alOiik, It ds remember ed that the St. Paul's first move to ward the Pacific Coast extension was the issuing of exactly the sarae amount of new stock. At Welser, Ida., according to dispatch in a Portland paper, it is believed ithe. recent sale of the Pay ette & Idaho Northern was to some holding company for the Northwest ern, and that the P. & I. N. wlli be extended north to a Junction with tihe main line of the Northwestern down, the Salmon river, and south west across Central Oregon to a Junction with the Western Pacific and on to San Francisco. There ta very litt'.e reason to long er doubt that both the North Coast and - the Pittsburg Gllmore and veys are for the Northwestero'a Coast extension. Card of Thanks.
