There Is no business between the north and south coast that 20uld be cultivated to give us a haul both ways, and this being so, what use would we have for such a line? It Is not true that we- are after the California fruit trade. That trade lasts only a few weeks each year, and while Is large, it would not pay the operating expenses of the railroad. Another thjng, Washington is capable of producing as not more, fruit than California and this is the trade we are after. i "It will always be the aim of the Great Northern.

We do not care to make any money out of the oriental trade; We are spending millions to establish In this territory in competition, with other lines of railroads. It Is but Incidental.
