THE GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD.
The Effect Its Exclusion From the
United States Would Have on
Portland.
Some important Observations by
General Superintendent SpIcer.

Speaking of the efforts of the American
trunk lines to force the Grand Trunk Rail-
way out on competition within the United
States, Superintendent Spicer of the Chicago
& Grand Trunk Railroad, said to PRESS
representative
1t is determined, believe, that the Senate
committee of interstate commerce appointed
in August last will hold session in Boston
during the present month, to inquire
whether commerce originating in the Unit
ed States is diverted from American to Ca
madam lines of transportioD, and if so, to
what extent and by what means, ETC., and to
report what legislation on the subject, If any,
is necessary for the protection of the COM
mercial interests of the United States, etc."
This is undoubtedly matter of the utmost
Importance to Portland, Lewiston and other
business mes centres S Name New Engand
Portland are vitality interested, owing to the
large volume of traffic taken to and from
this point by the Canadian roads, and there
Is no .doubt that the investigation is. in
large measure, movement brought about
tions upon such international traf-
fic. l am glad to learn that an
influential delegation composed of your
leading citizens will appear before the Sen
ate committee at Boston to express their
views upon this very Important matter. Ii
must be admitted that the interests of Port
land and the Eastern and Western States
would be seriously affected by any unwise,
obstructive legislation pertaining to traffic
with and through Canada. and L feel that
your merchants will see to it and prepare
such information for the Senate committee
as will conduce to the best interests of the
commercial community and the benefit of
Portland. The competition of the Grand
Trunk with the more southern trunk roads
is absolutely necessary to the maintenance
of reasonable rates to and from Chicago and
the West and the sea board. If the Grand
Trunk were debarred from COM
petition with American trunk
roads, your beautiful, thriving
city of Portland would very soon be shorn Of
its prosperity. An antagonistic report
by the Senate committee would be most
damaging to the commercial interests of the
Eastern and Western States, as it would
lake from the manufacturers and shippers
their great safeguard against arbitrary rates
and the "public be damned" policy of mo-
nopolists. The Chicago Tribune says "the
Grand Trunk has saved the people of the
West during the winter months from the ex-
actions of an extortionate combine between
the Wall street trunk Iroads," and this APP
plies with equal force to Portland, Bo ston,
and New England generally.
Hearty cooperation will accomplish much
to prevent any legislative interference with
your present favorable facilities for direct.
transportation between the seaboard and the,
great West.
