}. J. HILL 70 ENTER. FRISCO
Belief Calming Strength In. Railroad
Circles.

Z - : -
st. Paul, Oct. THE belief that the
Great MOI them railroad Is seeking a
terminal at San Francisco, to be
reached via the Oregon Trunk line, Is
spreading among railroad circles.
The actual ownership Of the Oregon
Trunk line is an uncertain PROPOSE
ton. It's management is vested in the
hands of John F. Stevens, who reports
only to James ]. HILL, and If the
Great Northern is contemplating us
ing the trunk line for a California
branch it is known only to Mr.. Hill.
The Oregon Trunk line has an
nounced the proposed construction of
about 900 miles of track. The new
construction is to be in a southerly
direction and the present terminus is
within about 500 miles of San Fran
cisco. The other construction is for
feeders in the Northwestern states.
p The North Bank railroad, running
between Seattle, Portland and Spo-
kane. Is owned Jointly by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific and it
is rumored on the coast that John F.
Stevens is slated for the presidency of
that road, in addition to his duties
with the Trunk line. That would
mean the consolidation Of the two
roads and would put the Hill lines in
the West ON par with the Hartman
system, giving it entry to the rich
fruit orchards of Southern California
and almost filling the Northwest with
subsidiary lines. - ~ =. p
