NEW YORK, July 23-The Times
in leader Today says: In the busy
railroad world few circumstances
are more remarkable than the anx-
iety TO secure the traffic of the re.
gion traversel by the Northern
Pacific Railroad, which ten years
ago was deemed unworthy of Sc
rious notice. A Chicago railroad
company has secured all the roads
in Southern Minnesota; the st. Paul

plans afoot for drawing off the traffic

its power will be broken. Nor
will competition be confined to
Montana. At the fret glance it
may not be easy to catch the con-

points: 1t will divert traffic from
the Northern Pacific, and esta blish
