THREE BIG ROADS
To BE MERGED

OMAHA, Nov. 19-The Bee says to-
day: Within one week the equity
which the Northern Pacific road now
holds in the Burlington will pass into
the hands of the Great Northern and
within fifteen days the Burlington and
Great Northern will be merged into
one vast system, with James ]. Hill in
control.
This statement was made to a re-
porter of the Bee this morning by a
man close to the official family of the
Hill roads, who has just returned from
Chicago, where the intricate opera
tions of this gigantic transaction are
now being perfected. He makes the
statement without reservation. For
prudential reasons this man exacted
the promise that his name would not
be used in this connection.
So far as the lines OF track of the
Burlington are concerned, these three
roads lack but one little link now of
being, in fact, one great system. When
the short cut from Billings to Great
Falls is completed the unification will
be contaminated. The Western termf-
nus Of the Burlington is Billings, where
it meets the Northern Pacific.
A line has been in course of con-
struction for some time from Billings
to Great Falls, where the Great North
ern runs on its way to the coast.
This line will soon be finished, and
when it is the three great railroads
will be joined and merged physically
into one vast system, but. the Federal
Government Directing, the Northern
Pacific will not be named in the union

BELT LINE MAKES

Company Will Not Permit.
the Projected All-Roads
Line, Says Supt. Palmer
GIVES HIS REASONS

OAKLAND, Nov. 1s-Flatly and
without reserve General Superinten-
dent ". s. Palmer of. the Southern Pa
cifc Company today declared before
the Board of Supervisors that his COM
pany would not permit any other rail-
way to use the belt line tracks in East
Oakland. over which the Southern Pa
ciic company's application for a fran
chises is being resisted by the Union
Belt Line Railway of Oakland, COM
posed OF the manufacturers IN that dis
trict who desire n@openn track to
their works
"We-won't- allow other roads to use
our tracks" said Palmer. during the
argument before the board. We are
willing to handle the cars of other
roads for. a proper consideration, but
not to permit any other railway to go
over our tracks"
Attorney J. E Foulds of the Southern
Pacific Company appeared with Pal
mer, while Robert Fitzgerald, repre-
senting the manufacturers, road. fought
Ii out with the Southern Pacific men
Palmer said the Southern Pacific
Company's application for a franchise
had been made upon the initiative of
property owners on one side of the
proposed industrial" tracks. He said
the application from the other people
had blocked the plans of the company.
Attorney Fitzgerald replied that the
Southern Pacific Company before the
City Council had asserted they would
not permit cars OF other roads to run
over the belt line tracks.
IF they do pot object, why do they
fight us?" queried Fitzgerald. who
added:
This movement for a belt line road
started in protection, but it met
with such favor that we now intend
to enlarge the project and give Oak
land belt line such as other cities
have. The Southern Pacific Company
will not switch cars from the Santa
Fe station to the cotton mills. They
demand that the cars be received at
Mojave. We have the means TO build
this belt zine an open road unless
the Southern Pacific Company will
build theirs so IL will not be exclusive
to themselves"
Palmer said:
The reason we do not switch Santa
Fe cars is that we have an agreement
with them to take their cars at Mo-
jave and to discharge freight at Stock
them to run over sixty-eight miles of
our track. We cannot permit them
to cut into railroad business here
which we have had and developed for
forty years. You know that the freight
rates from the South on cotton are the
same on the Santa Fe as the Southern
Pacific. Most of this talk is to prac-
tically disguise with phrases a purely
business deal"
Fitzgerald and Palmer warmed into
an argument over location of the
tracks, Chairman Mitchell finally con-
tinuing the hearing for a week.
