TO HEAD OFF A COMPETITOR.
Northern Pacific Wants the Trail
Creek Territory.

That the Northern Pacific is aiming to head
of competitor from building into the Trail
Creek country in Washington and British
Columbia, by building a line of it's own, is
generally admitted In Western railroad cir
cles. The officials of the Northern Pacific
while West, two weeks ago, made some very
significant investigations in that country The
Northern Pacific is said to be somewhat
troubled over the prospect of the Seattle &
international railroad building up into the
Trail creek country. The Northern Pacific
Immediately set to work making very careful
surveys and taking stock of the amount of
traffic likely to accrue from the possible ex-
tension. The Seattle & International has a
line to the boundary, north of that city.
which was a part of the Seattle, Lake Shore
& Eastern road. The eastern end had it's
terminus at Spokane The line was never
placed In full operation, and the Great North
ern is using portion of the roadbed but on
account of its paraleling the Central Wash
1ngton and the eastern end of the Seattle
Lake Shore & Eastern, the line was greatly
crowded. The object of the Seattle & Inter-
national is said to be to connect these lines
with the Central Washington, which is now
free from Northern Pacific influence, secure
the Paluse branch, and with a little rail-
road work, connect the western end of the
Washington Central and the eastern end Of
the Seattle & International which is now
built as far east Snoquaimie Falls
