THE WINTER PORT.
some Montreal Merchants Think
Portland the Nearest Outlet.

The Montreal Star of Monday evening
published accounts of interviews with lead
ing Montreal shippers on the winter port
question. Hugh McLennan believed that
the government should not give any contract
until the Short Line was completed. and
then winter Canadian port as accessible as
Portland could lie had and no subsidy
should be given except to the line making
their winter terminus in Canada. NJ. H.
Gault, M. p, believed that business and
trade would seek Portland as the nearest
outlook. B. j. Coghlin believed that any
government would be wanting in the first
duty to themselves as Canadians, taking into
consideration the vast expenditure on the
Canadian Pacific Railway and the Interna
tlonal Railway If they did not deyelope and
maintain fast mail service to Great Brit
ain. The government would be justified in
granting an extra subsidy for the winter
port as otherwise the vast expenditure made
IN thls connection would be sacrificed unless
direct mail service was maintained. In
answer to the question do you think Hal
irax can be made the terminal point instead
of Portland?" Mr.. Coughlin replied. "As far

obligations to the public in connection with
the mail steamers and the granting of sub
sides for the carrying of mails between
Great Britain and Canada, the terminus in
my opinion should be absolutely fixed and
some Canadian port made the terminus
irrespective Of cost, having in view the
patriotic sacrifices Canada has already made
to deyelope the great highway between
Europe and the East"
Mr.. Munderloh, the German consul and
agent of the Hanse line, said that under the
contract of his line With the Canadian gov
eminent they accepted all goods for Canada,
landing them at Halifax; but that the bust
ness at that port would not warrant any
steamship line making that their terminus,
unless an enormous bonus was granted.
His steamers have the privilege of calling at
American ports, and thus make up a full
cargo. In this way constant communication
with Halifax is kept up, and it is to be hoped
that Halifax trade may in time be built up.
Goods come over our line now which for
merly came via New York and other Amer
lean ports, so some business can be built up
by the way of Halifax"
:, Others interviewed were of the opinion
that Halifax would never supplant Portland
as the winter port.
