Seattle, Aug. 12.-''All preliminary
details are complete for the laying out
of the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern terminals. and for the con-
struction OF the Great Northern tunnel
under Seattle" was tie announcement
OF President James J. Hill OF the Great
Northern.
1.-The plans as drawn by the engineers
with few notifications have been ap-
proved in their entirety Mr.. Hill
continued. land have been submitted
to our counsel for approval as TO tech
nical points. We then will be ready TO
proceed with the work and will carry it
TO completion as soon as possible. The
final arrangement is satisfactory TO
President Mellen OF the Northern Pa.
cific. and to President Farrell OF the
Pacific Coast Company. Mr.. Mellen
and l went to Tacoma shortly after
noon, and bid him goodbye there, re-
turning to Seattle myself"
Thus the terminal problem as relates
to Seattle is solved and Is months will
see this city provided with adequate
facilities for receiving and dispatching
the expanding commerce OF the North
west. This will be accomplished by
an expenditure OF $500. 900 The
terminal grounds will be 500 feet wide
and mile and half long. the sta
ton building will be located near the
present site OF the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific freight sheds. The
northern entrance to the tunnel will be
near Stewart street and the southern
portal will be in the block bounded by
Third and Fourth avenues and by
Washington and Main streets. The
course under the city will be almost
identical with that OF Fourth avenue,
from so to $50 feet above.
Mr.. Hill denied the truth OF the re-
port that the Great Northern intends TO
build into Vancouver. L. c. There
is no foundation for the report q. the
present time" said he.
II have just been looking over the
Tacoma waterfront, Mr.. Hill remarked,
"and the reason is plain why so much
commerce is constantly passing through
that point. Facilities are there. Seat

enormous business will increase as rap
