WILL INVADE
CALIFORNIA
James J. Hill Has Surveyed
Routes to San Francisco.
MUCH SHORTER THAN S. P.
SANTA FE IS ALSO PLANNING A
COUP.

San Francisco. March 15.-James J.
Hin, president Of the Northern securi-
ties company is planning to invade
California by way of the north with
lines Of the Great Northern railway.
according 20 the Call 1t is further
stated that two surveys have been
made along the California and Oregon
coast between Portland and San Fran
cisco, and that those interested In these
surveys have already submitted 20 Mr..
Hill two routes by which he can reach
San Francisco. One surveying party
worked nOrthward from Marin county
and the other southwark from Portland,
ore. Both routes surveyed are shorter
than the Shasta route of the Southern
Pacific company. one by 120 miles and
the other by at least 40 miles. 1t is
claimed that the routes selected by the
Hill surveyors guarantee the cOnstruc-
ton of a railroad along a grade OF
about 2 per cent as against per
cent and more which is experienced
along the Southern Pacific lines.
The further Information has been OBJ
tanned that in routing the new line the
surveyors were instructed TO include
Coos Bay among the towns to be
touched, or some other city on Coos
bay. Crescent City and Eureka. in Cali
fornia, but it is possible that the latter
two points may now be ignored, for
since the surveyors completed their
work the Santa Fe has suddenly
acquired the roads around Crescent
City and Eureka and announced its in
tention of Immediately extending these
small properties southwark to San
Francisco.
Among those familiar with President
Hills purpose il is the belief that the
Santa Fe's determination TO get a foot
hold along the California coast was
prompted and greatly FASTENED by an
intimation that President Hill was pre-
pairing 20 cut through the same terri
tory
As 20 President Hills plans for a
terminal on San Francisco bayA it is
claimed that he has already secured an
option on city front property on the
north side where ferry boats can easily
connect with a point on the Marin
county side

SANTA FE EXTENSIONS.

His Company.

Paul Morton Speaks Of the Plans Of
His Company.
san Francisco. cal. March 15.-Paul
Morton, vice president Of the Santa Fe
railroad arrived from Santa Barbara
yesterday.
Speaking Of the recent purchase by
the Santa Fe of the Eureka-EeI River
road and Its extensions in Humboldt
county, Mr.. Morton said:
THE company has bought those
roads with a view of using them as a
nucleus for a coast line at some future
date. It is notltrue, however, that the
Santa Fe has purchased the California
Northwestern road. There will be a
time, and it is not far of, when The
Santa Fe VIII ina it necessary to ex-
tend its lines TO the north to meet the
requirements Of business. There is d
grand lot Of timber in that particular
section of California and there is a
great demand for the material at the
eastern end of our road consequently
we have good reasons for availing our
selves Of the supply and meeting the
demand"
Mr.. Morton admitted that a syndi-
cate had made the purchase for the
company and have been acquiring large
timber tracts on the coast side Of Cali
fornia. Among those in the syndicate
are Mr. Cheney. one Of the directors Of
the road, and several close friends Of
the Santa Fe company.
Asked If there were any prospects Of
the Santa Fe entering Sacramento and
san Jose in the near future, Mr. Nor
ton answered: well, / cannot say as
to the near future, but ! am satisfied
that we win eventually connect with
those cities. At present, however, we
are using all our money for new roll
ing stock. Business demands it,"

SUDDEN DEATH
OF POLITICIAN
Recorder J. 0. Brown Of Pitts
burg Joins the Majority.
PARTY LEADER MANY YEARS
POLITICAL UPHEAVAL CAUSED
HIS DEMISE.

Pittsburg. March 15.-Recorder ]. O..
Brown of this city. who rendered his
resignation to Governor Pennypacker
on Friday last, died suddenly at his
home here this afternoon.
The immediate cause Of death was
nervous prosuation, caused, il is be-
ieved, by the unusually perturbed con-
dition of politics in the county.
Mr.. Brown was always delicate, phys
ically. but his death was entirely un-
expected at this time. He was born
near this city I'm 1876. and has always
since early manhood been prominent IN
county and city politics. Mr.. Brown
served as the head of the department
of public safety from November. 49,
until August, 1901. when he was re-
moved by Recorder A. NJ. Brown. In
1901 he was appointed recorder by Gov
ernor Stone, to succeed A NJ. Brown.
His resignation was sent TO Governor
Pennypacker on last Friday, to take
effect tomorrow. When the fact Of his
resignation was made known TO his fol-
lowers the CONSERVATION was great
and he was made the target of much
reproach by those who counted much
upon his holding Office until succeeded
by Recorder-elect William b. Hayes on
the first Monday in April.
The death of MIR. Brown makes the
third prominent politician in the county
during the past two years. The other
two We're Senator C.. L. Magee and
George Van HOrrheist. These men
were practically i'm control of Repub-
Hcan politics in Allegheny county for
twenty-five to thirty years.
When j. o. Brown was appointed re-
corder he reappOinted nearly all Of the
old officials of the organization who
had been ripped" out Of Office, and
this action is believed to have been the
principal reason of the upheavals
which permitted the citizens party to
carry the last three local elections.
Harrisburg, Pa, March 15.-Governor
Pennypacker expressed great surprise
when advised Of the death Of Recorder
Brown. He declined to say when he
would III the vacancy.
