has taken up the fight against the
consolidation Of the Northern
Pacific and, Great Northern rail.
roads. This proposition will be
vigorously fought all along the
line to the Pacific coast, and if it
IS accomplished it will be through
fiery trials. During the past
fifteen years hundreds of thousands
ofdollars have been contributed
by different communities to aid in
the construction Of competing
lines by one or the other Of these
companies, and in case Of a con.

the railroads in the past warrants
the people in taking this view and
will stimulate the authorities to
make a vigorous fight.

the one.thousandth anniversary Of
the foundation of the kingdom by
holding an exposition on grand
scale at Buda-P esth. The
