It was a plaa of James J. Hill 20 Tears ago, and the expectation of some time con summating the plan had never been abandoned. I always have been In favor of IU Through consolidating tha El Paso and Southwestern railroad with the Southern Pacific, on an exchange of stock basis, I found myself the largest stockholder in the Southern Pacific, and, as tar as I know still occupy this posi S. P. Strong -"California, which is an em pire In Itself, has depended large ly upon the Southern Pacific and the Santa. Fe for railroad devel opment and facilities. Both rail roads are In southern California and in a part of northern Cali fornia, but the Southern Pacific is the strong line In the north. After becoming Interested In the Southern Pacific my atten tion was called to the Western Pacific, a transcontinental line that had been severely reorgan ised, but occupied a position of strength through Its low grades and strategic position In enter ing northern California. After looking over the territory and taking tha best railroad advice obtainable. It was my belief that northern California would afford sufficient business for the West ern Pacuic and me boutnern Pacific and la tact there Is neces sity for further railroad develop ment. . It was simply a problem of providing adequate transporta tion commensurable with the ex pected growth of the northern portion ot the state and In my opinion that was- the principal problem Involved. Extra Line needed I felt that I aaw In the trans portation and Industrial situation In central and northern Califor nia an opportunity to carry on construction work which would be of real value to the country through the strengthening and expansion ot the Western Pacific Having coma to this conclusion, I bought control ot the Western Psclfic notwithstanding my large Investment In the Southern Pa cific. The program ot expansion I had In mind we are now trying to carry out, and It permitted to do so, California will In my opinion be greatly benefitted, This benefit will be shared bj all tha railroads In proportion to the business which they do here. and this would, of course, be pecially true of the Southern Pa cific. Otherwise northern Call fornia must depend upon one company for Its future railroad expansion.
