The report is that the Northern Pa

Governor Mcbride is said to have
denied that any conference has been
held or that any agreement of this
or any, othor kind has been reached
with the railroads or any of them.
The story, however, is being taken
seriously in Seattle. The Times. which
publishes 1t, is recognized as friendly
to Mcbride. The deal is said to in
volve not only the governor, but the
commission bill, congressman and the
