IS To BE RENEWED

Seattle, Aug. 14.-With the confir.
nation of the sale of the Bellingham
Bay and British Colum bia railroad to
the Canadian Pacific, a prominent
Great Northern official, who refuses
to be quoted, says the seven years. war
between the Great Northern and the
Canadian line will be renewed and the
Northwest will see the fercest struggle
in it's history. President James j.
Hill will be in Seattle in two weeks
and from here will make trip to Brit
ish Columbia for the purpose Of look
ing over the field and determining the
weapon he will use to bring for Sec
ond time the Canadian Pacific into
line.
With the purchase of the Bellingham
Bay road the Canadian Pacific acquires
a survey of the line from Maple Falls
to Spokane, completed year ago. 1t
is generally understood to be the inten-
ton to use this survey in the construc-
ton Of an extension, and probably the
line from Bellingham will be extended
south to some point on the Sound, gen.
orally conceded to be either Seattle. or
Tacoma. This would give the Cana
dian Pacific road between the Great
Northern's Hope mountain line in Can
ada and it's line in Washington, tap
ping rich agricultural section from
which the latter derives a large amount
of traffic.
The fight which was settled a little
over a year ago by Lord Strathoona, q
heavy stookholder in both lines, it is
said, will mean, aside from the Cana
dian Pacific plans, several important
extensions of the Great Northern in
British Columbia.
