he replied that it would be entirely unneces-

they had been represented and considerably
wilder. He said he represented a syndicate
ofleading papers in New York and Boston,
which had all chipped in on his transporta-

l told him that the great Northwest didn't
lose ANYTHING at the other end of this line,
but that the once glorious scenery between
the Twin Cities was at present broken up by
