Official Announcement.

President Elliott's announcement, az
given out by Mr.. Charlton, follows:
1.-THE Great Northern and Northern
Pacific companies have organized and
own jointly the Portland and Seattle
Railway Company. That company
will build railroad as rapidly as men
and material will permit, from Ken
newick, opposite Pasco, along the
north bank Of the Columbia river to
Vancouver, Wash, bridge the Colum-
bia and Willamette rivers, forming a
connection with the present line of the
Northern Pacific north OF Portland.
''When the railroad bridges are fin
ished they will give to the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific a first
class entrance to Portland and q direct
line to and from the East. The COM
panies hope for the friendly co-opera-
ton of the people Of Portland, Of Ore
gon and Of Washington
experimenting President Elliott q
announcement, Mr.. Charlton said it is
estimated that about two years will
put the road in operation.
Articles of incorporation Of the Port
land and Seattle Railroad Company
were fled at Olympia, WASH, Friday,
the nominal inoorporators being Port
land and Seattle men. The objects of
the company are stated to be to build
and operate a road from Spokane to
Seated and from Spokane to Portland,
with any necessary branches.
The distance from Kennewick to
Portland is little more than 400
miles and unofficial estimates place the
cost at approximately $12, soc, 900.
Confirms an Open Secret.
President Elliott's formal announce
ment confirms what has been an open
secret for some time. The activity Of
Northern Pacific officials inaiding the
Portland and Seattle, the presence Of
Northern Pacific right Of way agents
in the field securing land over which
the oompany's new line will extend;
the transfer Of the Columbia River
and Northern, with its Regulator line
of steamers; the acquisition Of new
terminal grounds in Portland-all
tended to show the hand of the North
ern Pacific in the new corporation.
That the Great Northern was iden-
titled with the Northern Pacific has
been suspected, but not definitely
known prior to Mr.. Elliott's official
It is evident from Mr.. FL
Lofts statement that the Hill lines
have we'll defined policy regarding
tho operation Of trains over the new
line and the division Of territory.
titIl Fighting on Two Sides.
The construction OF the new line by
the Northern Pacific, and the Great
Northern's activity on the interna-
tional boundary il indicative Of de-
to let the Northern Pacific
meet the Hartman aggression on the
south side while the Great Northern
turns its attention to the Canadian Pa
ciflo on the north. The Hill Interests
are apparently involved in Q railroad
war on both sides Of them.
Whether or not the building war
started BY the Milwaukee and the
Northwestern has any connection with
