viii Direct Fight Against Hill in
The Northwest
WILL have CHARGE OF CONSTRUCTION
WITH MORE AUTHORITY
LATER ON.

]. D. Farrell, former president of the
Great Northern Steamship company,
and assistant to the president of the
Great Northern has been placed in
charge of the construction of the
Washington Northern, the Hartman
projection from Portland to Seattle. He
will occupy position with Hartman
somewhat similar to that he held with
the Great Northern while in construc
ton work west Of Spokane, but it is
expected he will be given additional
authority later.
An official announcement of Mr..
Farrells appointment was made in the
east today. This announcement has
been expected by prominent railroad
officials ever since Mr.. Farrell aban-
doned his European tour three months
earlier than he intended. When he
returned to Seattle, however he de-
MED the Hartman stry and has per-
sistently denied it since, says the Sc
attic Times.
Prepared for Change.
In railroad circles it has been pretty
we'll understood that since his return
Mr.. Farrell has provided himself with
maps showing all the Hartman plans
here and has frequently been in con-
ference here, in Portland and in San
Francisco with Hartman officials In
fact the first man he met in Seattle
when he returned was a Hartman
representative.
Buffer in Fight.
Hartman and Hill We're then fight
ing for Northwest supremacy and in
his position as president of the Pacific
Coast company, Mr.. Farrell was
buffer between those interests and in
the Hill Mellen controversies he had
similar place. That Hartman and Mr..
Farrell have been friendly for years
has been we'll understood in railroad
!
Mr. Farrell was kept in touch not
only with local conditions but also
with the Hartman plans.
Mr.. Farrell is a director of the Pa
cific Coast company, but his going to
the other line will not affect control of
the other corporation. H. w. Cannon,
chairman of the board of directors,
and a member of the "Hill crowd
controls the majority of the stock
4 which his heavy holdings in Great
Northern and Northern Pacific keep
friendly to the Hill interests. Mr..
Farrell and Mr.. Cannon We're in Eu-
rope at the same time, and when the
former came home to go with Harri-
man it is pretty certain that Cannon
knew of it.
Took European Trip.
Mr.. Farrell left the Great Northern
last summer announcing at the time
that he proposed to make a European
trip in the fall and would not return
until the summer of 1906, to look after
personal interests. Just before he
! formally utrned over his office here to
Howard James, Mr.. Hartman was in
the west and had planned a trip to Sc
| attic to see Mr.. Farrell. 1t was short
| ly after this that Mr.. Hartman made
| his oriental tour and came home to
give out his famous interview, wherein
he declared the country was on the eve
of an era of competitive railroad
building If there was an understand
ing at that time between Mr.. Harri
man and Mr. Farrell, railroad men did
not know it.
