THE RAILROAD SITUATION.


During his recent visit to Seattle,
President Hill. OF the Great Northern
Railway Company, took occasion en-
phatically to contradict cumors of rail-
way extensions by his company. Mr..
Hill declared that 1t is the policy OF the
Great Northern not TO build any
branches or extensions into new terri
tory unless it Is clearly shown that the
business offered Will make the building
paying venture In other words, the
Great Northern does not propose to
parallel existing lines merely for the
purpose Of invading another company's
territory. when the present facilities
furnish ample accommodations for the
business offered. nor will that company
build into new territory for speculative
purposes, or for the purpose of keeping
out other roads. The statement given
