Agreement Probable Among All
Northwestern Railroads.
WILL Be NO TERRITORY CONTEST
Harriman-Hill Interests Make Conces-
sions and ST. Paul Road Enters
Agreement With Hartman.

Chicago, April 3.-There will be no
contest between the st. Paul road and
the Hartman lines over territory to
be occupied by either interest in the
Pacific Northwest. This was decided
during the brief visit of Edward H.
Hartman in Chicago Wednesday.
While in his private car, which stood
in the Park Row station of the Illinois
Central road, Mr.. Hartman was visit
ed by President A. J. Earring, of the
St. Paul road, and arrangements were
completed for the joint use of certain
tracks by the st. Paul and the Harri-
man lines.
Although none of the officials inte-
rested in the deal would say anything
concerning it, it is understood that the
tentative agreement will obviate the
necessity of Mr.. Harriman's building
line between Seattle and Tacoma, as
he contemplated doing as part of his
line from Portland to Seattle. The.
two men had only few moments con-
versation, but it was sufficient to
clinch an agreement regarding which
they had talked several times before.
In this connection also it is stated
that the conference between Mr.. Harri-
man and Louis w. Hill in San Fran
cisco is likely to result in better un-
derstanding between the Hill and Har-
riman lines in the Pacific Northwest.
1t is stated that all three interests
realize the benefit which would come
should there be truce among them
with respect to territorial aggression
in the Northwest. AS the price of
peace, however, Mr.. Hartman is said
to insist upon the opening to his lines
of the Portland gateway, and it is
thought by many that concessions will
be made in this direction by the Hill
people.

VETERANS AT A.-Y.-P.
Various Organizations Planning for
Big Time This Summer.

Various Organizations Planning for
Big Time This Summer.
The nations war veterans, and the
sons and wives and daughters of them,
are carrying out big plans for represen-
tation at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific ex-
position. The military order of the
Loyal Legion has preempted five acre
tract on the exposition grounds and is
establishing upon it patriotic head
quarters. The Grand Army of the Re-
public will be represented and SO will
the Sons of Veterans, the Ladies of the
G. A. r. and the Women's 8 Relief Corps.
Early in the year the Loyal Legion
entered into correspondence with the
War department at Washington with
the result that it has secured splendid
equipment and has already established
headquarters tents and model head
quarters encampment generally.
Around the camp the governments out
door exhibit will be placed. 1t consists
of big and little ordnance, of today and
the other days, Civil war relics and
relics of the unpleasantness with Spain.
so that the visitor to headquarters will
be confronted by big modern 12-inch
rifles as we'll as cannonades of the
Eighteenth century, picked up on the
beach in Manila bay.
Local G. A. r. posts are expecting a
heavy attendance at the exposition
from among the nations old time fight
ing men, for the reason that the grand
encampment takes place in Salt Lake
City early in August and the railroads
have announced lower rates than ever
before from Eastern points to the ex-
position. Under the tickets offered by
the transcontinental roads it will be
possible for the veteran to take passage
through to Seattle and stop off for the
encampment without extra cost, and
that thousands will do so is already
made evident by letters received by
officers of the Grand Army and Loyal
Legion in this city.
1t will be open house at Grand Army
and Loyal Legion headquarters through
out the fair and several special days
and events have been arranged in theil
honor. The state encampment of the
G. A. r. takes place in Tacoma in June
and June "a has been set as State G
A. r. day. August 16 has been named
as National G. A. r. day and it will b.
made the occasion of one of the bigges
and most brilliant of the special cele
brations at the exposition.

BUY FRUIT FARM.
Minneapolis Capitalists to Plat Doug
las County Ranch.

las Sounty nanCn.
Roseburg-One of the biggest deals
ever made in Douglas county was clos
ed at Roseburg recently, when the Cobb
Real Estate company sold the Round
prairie ranch to company of Mime
apolis capitalists and bankers, the con-
sideration being $54, 900 cash. The
Round paririe ranch is part of the
James Burnett donation land claim, and
comprises several hundred acres. 1t
is situated on the South Umpqua river,
eight or 10 miles south of Roseburg,
and on account of its freedom from cold
winds and the quality of the soil, ranks
with the best fruit land in the country.
Last year the land was plated and
placed on the market. 1t is the inten-
tion of the purchasers to adopt this
plat for their own use and to continue
the sale of lots from their Offices at
Minneapolis. They will first select
from the entire tract 20 sites for sum-
mer homes for their own families.
These homes will be built before the
end of two years. BY that time, they
predict, they will have 20 other fami-
lies on the place. The buyers figure
on new city, the name of which has
not yet been decided.
