Wemake special note of these proceedings
from ihe iaot that Cleveland interests ar
involved in the question. The Chicago, BuI
lington & Quincy Road is owned and con
trolled by the Michigan Central Road and tn
Great Western Road of Canada, and, {
course, ali traffic that can be diverted frOr
, the western adi4ision'bf the Peoria & Oquav
, ka Road to the @. B. & O. Road, will be 5
, much gain for those Roads, and SO much lOi
to the direct air line via Toledo and Olevr
land. The P. 4 o. Road extends Ill mile
east Of the junction of the G. B. & Q. Roa'
Il anashduld AeTkr allow lis trade at the wes
, ern extremity to be taken possession of b
the G. B. & @. Road. Aside from all que
tons Of trade, the Peoria people are right
4 their position so far as we can see, and v
hope they viii stand firm.
