Railroad Consolidation.

While Official information has not been
received, there are good grounds for the
opinion generally entertained, that the
Detroit, Bay City & Alpena road and the
Alpena Northern will be united az one
road some time the early part OF the CON-
ing year, and that the consolidated road
will be- extended south from Emery juno
ton to Bay City, and north to the Straits
OF Mackinac. At Bay City connection
will be made with various trunk lines,
and at the straits with road to Duluth
and with the Northern Pacific.
II the above plan should be followed,
and ut present 1t seems certain, 1t will
give Alpena great trunk line, but the
advantage OF such road, while 1t will
prove Of great benefit to Alpena, would
not be as beneficial, In our opinion, as
road running westerly from Alpena and
making Alpena the outlet for the pro-
ducts OF u vast, fertile, though yet but
sparsely settled region. The main route
follows the shore and does not open any
new timbered lands, and Alpena will be-
come merely an important station on a
great trunk line.
Our great benefit will be that better
freight rates can be given Alpena mer-
chants and manufacturers, owing to the
Alpena road not being as 1t Is now, at the
mercy OF one great road. 1t will con-
meet at Bay City with several, and CON-
petition will cause favorable freight
rates to be offered, resulting In large
amount OF lumber being shipped by rail-
On this subject of reorganization, the
Detroit News interviewed Gen. Alger,
and elected the following:
1t had for long time been my desire
to have the Detroit and Alpena road ex-
tended into Bay City. The new owners
OF the road will very likely carry out the
project Of such an extension at an carly
date, but they have not yet fully decided
when to begin. The matter is one ttct
l. still under consideration. When 1t
shall be made, the extension will. l
should say, touch the present line at or
about Emery Junction. You see the
present owners have had the line but
few months, and there is good deal for
them to do. We are negotiating now for
sale to Drexel, Morgan & Co., Of the AL
pena & Northern, that runs north from
Alpena, but the negotiations are not
closed, although we had hoped that they
would have before this time. The lines,
when they are connected, will undoubt-
eddy be extended to Cheboygan."
