Desperate Fight Of Great

Hill Striving to Realize His
Dream Of Absolute
Control.

Special to Tho Journal.
~ EW YORK, Feb. 1o.-It was dis
closed today that one of the
most gigantic transcontinental
railroad deals ever made is being for
INFLATED. e
It means The consolidation Of the
Northern Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, Great Northern, and Burl-
ington into two great transcontinentai
lines.
It also means the shutting, out of the
Hartman interests on the Pacific coast.
1t also means a desperate fight be-
tween the four lines mentioned and the
Hartman lines.
As, outlined today by authority.ef
lunquestioned integrity the situation is:
as follows: ...
/ The undertaking involves two separ
ate transactions. They have been in
the minds of the promoters for several
years. The proposal means two of the
greatest railroad systems in the world.
The Great Northern, with its $780,,
100000 of iron ore lease and sale rights
to it's own and the Burlington stock
amounting to $5O,00o,OOO more, will
cement these two roads into one vast
double-track system to the coast. ~
Buying the Milwaukee.
The Northern Pacific, whose stock is
actually worth $500, 100000 on the basis
! of its earnings, may easily devote $780,
100000 toward the purchase of the
stock Of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul, now extending to the Pacific
coast, practically. paralleling the North
fern Pacific. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul will find it more convenient
at points along the route to use the
Northern Pacific tracks. Indeed, "a con-
ference already has been held between
officials to this end. 49, So, SO
/ A railroad attorney whose business
brings him. in touch with the financial
end of all these roads, declares that
affairs are so shaping that one can
reach no other conclusion and he pre-
diets that within two years at least,
or possibly sooner, the four roads men
toned will have become two great
transcontinental lines by the process
worked out by James j. Hill.
/ Hills Ambitions. .
The attorney declares his belief In
the early contamination of this scheme
because Of the fact that Hill is getting
along in years and wishes to see his
ambition realized as quickly as possible.
Railroad men do not doubt that such
arrangement. would be beneficial to all
the roads concerned. It is simply q
matter of working out the detail.
AS the first move, it is understood
that the Burlington bonds guaranteed
/ by the Northern. Pacific are to be
called in and retired. -
In effect, the Northern Pacific and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul will
be merged and the Great Northern
and the Burlington will be made one
| system. It is understood the Great
Northern will absorb the Burlington,
/ while for few years the Chicago,
i Milwaukee & ST. Paul and the Northern
Pacific will work in conjunction, with
| the Northern Pacific finally absorbing
the Milwaukee road.
/ These plans are outlined by parties
SO close to j. J. Hill as to make the
| story seem inspired.

The recommendation came from the

debate was accepted by SIS votes 10 1.
II is curious 10 note how this law OF
rest has been almost universal. although
called under various names. The Can
adian parliament has just passed Sab
bath observance bill. and the title Of
this measure Is an interesting survival
Of the confusion between the Sabbat tn
and the Sunday. which only arose in
England with the birth of Puritanism.
Sunday before then always meant the
first day of the week; Saturday still
means the Sabbath. as il actually does
now in French and Italian-Samedi and

The variations regarding the law OF
Sunday throughout the reigns Of the
different Kings of England mark the
ebb and flow of popular opinion Sun
day rest was insisted on from Alfred on

sports. but allowed the p-actice OF

turning Sunday into the jewish sab,
