The Detroit Tribune has the follow
ing from East Saginaw in relation to
the p. II. & n. w. R'y: No line of rail-
road in Michigan has been more thor
oughly discussed in the past year than
the Port Huron & Northwestern. 1t
has been known that the property was
on the market, and for long time, un-
til litigation stopped proceedings, it
was believed that the road would
be acquired, either by purchase or lease
by the Flint & Pere Marquette. Then
the Michigan Central was reported to
have an eye on it. Now comes state
ment that the Canadian Pacific which,
has long desired to enter Michigan, is
negotiating for the purchase of this
line and the terminal facilities here,
which are the present property of the
Toledo, Saginaw IL Mackinac R'y., and
that there is strong probability of a
deal being made. Standard guage ties
have been distributed between Port
Huron and East Saginaw. and the line
will soon be widened. 1t is positively
known that the Canadian Pacific ofil.
GERS have been negotiating for some
time for the purchase of the western
division of the Grand Trunk from Ko-
moko, Ont, to Sarnia. Ont. which with
the Port Huron IL Northwestern will
make complete link in the circuit.

Tenants of a Scotch Laird.

The Highlands and Hebrides are the
home Of romance. There is legend for
nlmost every step you take. But the cruel
est of these are not so cruel as, and none
have the pathos Of, the tales Of their own
and their fathers wrongs and wretched-
ness which the people tell today. The old
stories of the battle field, and of clan
meeting clan in deadly duel, have given
way 10 stories of the clearing Of the land
that the laird or the stranger might have
his shooting and fishing as well as his
crops. At first the people could
hot understand it. The evicted went
to the laird, as they would have gone
of old, aud asked for a new home.
And what WIS his answer? Il am
not the father of your family"
And then, when frightened women ran
and hid themselves st his coming, he
broke the kettles they left by the well, or
tore into shreds the clothes bleaching on
the heather, And, as. the people them
solves have it, In these and similar ways
he succeeded too well IN clearing the
island of its once numerous inhabitants,
scattering them over tho face of the
globe" There must have been cruelty
indeed before the Western Islander, who
once loved his chief better than his own
life, could tell such tales IS these, even in
his hunger and despair Elizabeth Robins
