GREAT NORTHERN AND PORTLAND

A Unioa Pacific Man Thinks II VIII
Terminate At Portland.
PORTLAND. March 23.-fSpecial. Gen
eral Traffic Manager Munroe and Assist
ant General Freight Agent Campbell. of
the Union Pacific, have gone to Spokane.
where they will confer with the traffic
managers of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. Before leaving Port
land Mr.. Munroe respectfully de-
clined to explain the object of
the conference. nor would he
disclose any in regard to his intentions
anent the complaint of local shippers. It il
generally believed that the latter question
will consume some of the time devoted to
the Spokane meeting. Mr.. Munroe was
less reticent when questioned about the
affairs Of the Union Paci6c's esteemed
Western contemporary. He believed that
the Great Northern will make Portland its
terminal point, and said;
Mr.. Hill is . practical railroad man, and will
not permit personal prejudice to interfere with
the interests of tho Great Northern. He must
extend his road to Portland, because he cannot
move Portland to meet his road. On the same
principle that all Eastern roads lead to
Chicago. all Western roads must tap
Portland. The business of the North
Pacific Is concentrated here, and it is cheaper
Tor q new railway to come after business than to
attemp, to transfer to point Of concentration.
For these reasons the Great Northern will oe ex-
tended to Portland. When the extension will
be made cannot predict, but would not be
astonished to hear OF Hills locomotives run.

The executive committee Of the Michigan

They loaded 1906 feet of logs on single log

mated to weigh sixty-hye tons The load will

boasts would be considered small IN this

on the Fremont and Green Lake lines of
the Consolidated Street Railway Company.
Instead of running every seventeen min
utes to the sawmill at Fremont. as at
present. cars will run every twenty min
utes to kilbourne avenue, and instead of
running every fifty-one minutes to Green
Lake they will run every forty minutes.
The first car will leave Commercial and
Main streets at 6 :OS a. M. and Green Lake
at 6:lS a. m. The running of Fremont
cars to Kilbourne avenue will be a con.
venience to residents of Edgewater, as
they will be able to ride all the way home
every twenty minutes instead of walking
some distance or waiting for a Green Lake
