The Canada Pacific Omcials Fixing Rates
for the Northwest.
CHICAGO, January 80. - Railroad
officials interested in the emigrant busi-
ness in the northwest are in session at
the Grand Pacific to-day. At q meeting
held in this city q week or two ago it
transpfred that the Canadian Pacific
had decided to make q rate via Port
Arthur from all Ontario points to Win
nipeg at 1915. This is q cut of about
800. The announcement caused con-
siderable excitement among rail.
road people interested in this
business. If the Canadian Pacific ad-
hered to that rate it would compel them
to make similar rate to all points in the
northwest equi-distant with Winnipeg,
which would make the seasons emigrant
business most improbable one. As
the Canadian Pacific Road claimed
to have made the rate in &C.
cordance with instructions from the
Canadian minister of emigration, General
Passenger-Agent Stephenson, of the
Grand Trunk, was instructed to call
upon the Canadian minister of emigra-
ton and see if q satisfactory arrange.

prevent disastrous fight between
the Canadian Pacific and the Amer
ican lines, and which in the end
would prove necessarily more disas.
trous for the former than for the latter
lines, as at equally low rates emigrants
would greatly prefer to settle in the
productive agricultural lands of the
Northern Pacific and St. Pan! and Man.
itoba Roads than the unproductive SNOW
and ice. covered regions along the line ol
the Canadian Pacific. Stephenson says
he has consulted with the Can
adian minister of emigration, an6
learned that after the opening
of navigation from Algomah Mills the
rates for Canadian settlers will be- ST.
instead of $15 as first proposed. How
ever, the Canadian Pacific people claim
that they will make = 1915 rate from
Ontario points to Winnipeg. Settlers

navigation. This is to be the rate of tn

fight they are at liberty to do SO.

issue proper in the convention, although

have been obliged to yield to the election

final control of the convention through
the tireless efforts of prominent demo-
