SEATTLE, April 2. One gigantic
system of nilronds covering Iho ter
ritory between Chicngo and Seattle,
including lines reaching into .south
ern Oregon and northern California
ntul also into we.-leni Canada, nil
under the tlirerttnii of one executive,
who mny ho L. C. Oilmnn of Seattle,
is the reiHirted plan of the controll
ing factor in the Grout Northern
railway nml the fluent?), Hurlington
& Quinev Itnilroml company. The
plan of the Hill interests to divorce
the Northern Pacific from the Urent
Northern are now .said to he ap
proaching fruition. Ajt early an
nouncement of the greatest lol in
modern railroading i expected.
L. W. Mill, president of the Great
Northern, is now in San Francisco,
where Mr. Oilmnn, who is president
of the, Spoknne, Portland & Seattle
railway and the Oregon Trunk sys
tem, hns boon summoned in confer
ence. Associated Prc-s dispatches
to Pacific, const newspapers have
contained less than a hint of the
long cherished nlnn of James J. Hill
to unify the Great Northern nnd
liurlington systems and to relinquish
his hold on the Northern Pacific.
The events of tho past few dnys
indicate that lull, the elder, will soon
carry out this plan nnd the confer
ence between Louis Hill and Oilman
in California is more than likely to
result in n definite announcement of
the time when the big deal will bo
consummated.
The fate of the Northern Pacific,
provided the liurlington is taken over
by the Hill interests, will probably
bo to bo absorbed by the Cliicngo &
Northwestern, wlrch would thus bo
in n position to operate through
trains between Chicago nnd Seattle
in competition with the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway.
Thcso mighty events nre in imme
diate prospect, according to the hot
informed railroad men of the coun
try. A vital factor in the program
its thus outlined is the $G00,000,000
bond issue authorized more than two
years npo by the stockholders of thf
Great Northern and which hits been
held back until tho opportune day
for n long-expected separation of the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific and the consolidation of the
former road with the Hurlington's
system.
