Northern 'paeifc.0, X. Il n. Deal for Joint
Traekagc Arrangements.

Portland, Or, Jan. 3.--The question
Of trackage arrangements by which the
Northern Pacific may run trains from
eastern Washington over the oregon
Railroad G. Navigation line into Port
land and the oregon Railway & Navi-
cation run over the Northern Pacific TO
Seattle and Tacoma seems TO have
reached the point where both parties
are willing to make deal, but cannot
agree on terms, When President Mel
len of the Northern Pacific was In
Portland over year ago he said that
his company was quite willing, and
there Is no reason to believe that the
policy has changed since Mr.. Elliott
became president, Mr.. Hartman has
expressed the same disposition on the
part of the oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton but the statement Of President
Mohler of the oregon Railway q Nav
igation since his return from the east
indicates that no progress has been
made. Under the suggested scheme
the Northern Pacific would escape the
heavy haul over the Cascade noun
tains and on the other hand the oregon
Railway & Navigation would be able
to haul freight and passengers through
TO the sound without breaking bulk of
changing cars. II IL probable that each
party to the deal maintains that what
IL has to offer Is worth more than II
would receive. so that they find It im.
possible 10 get together
