An effort Is being made BY some Of our citizens
to induce the Northern Transp ortation Co. TO

several miles nearer their course than either
Cleveland or Erie, which Is no small indueement
to 3 company running line OF Of 10 steam ers,

thanat either OF the above named ports. Aside
nom this there would be no small amount of
