THE N. p. SITUATION.
New Interests Will Work Against Con
sOlidation.

New Interests Will Work Against Con-
sOlidation.
NEW York, Oct 9.-The Wall Street
Journal says: ''It is thought in we'll
informed circles here that the Northern
Pacific receivers will have to go to tho
Pacific coast to appear before Judge
Hartford, or subject themselves to pos
sible arrest for contempt. The situation
in this respect is "getting to be serious
in the eyes Of some lawyers, because it
might be followed by other moves Of
an expensive character to Northern Pa
cifc security holders. The Great
Northern people claim that they are in
a better position than ever to secure
control of the property, but against this
is the statement Of the leading parties in
interest that there is to be q complete
change in the personnel of the manage
ment Of the property both as to legal
advisers and to service managers. The
new interests in the property will be
found working in the line of maintain
ing the property independent OF the
Great Northern, and also in the line of
developing it's business to greater ex-
tent than ever before, so as to make re-
organization more easy, because of the
confidence which the consolidated bond
holders will have in dealing with the
prior liens"
The new interests in the foregoing
article al1ude to the Brayton Ives party.

SOME LOCHL SENTIMENT
The Minneapolis Times Cor
respondent Publishes Some
Interviews.

The laxative correspondent Of the
Minneapolis Times, who was in Lit
tie Falls a few days ago published a
long letter in the Tuesdays issue of
his paper, in which he reviewed some
of the railroad history of Little
Falls. and then quoted few of the
leading citizens. We publish the fol-
lowing:
The sentiments of the people at
Little Falls, where there is but one
railroad, Is as much against the
consolidation OF the two roads as at
any other place. Though they have
made every effort to get connection
with the Great Northern. in order to
have an additional outlet for their
products, vet they deplor- the pros
pect of monopoly. F. f. Cawley.
president of the Interstate Milling
company, said:
"Whether we would he disturbed
by this proposed consolidation or
not, know that the welfare vt the
people would be sacrificed. and what
is of interest to the great majority
of the people is OF interest to ME.
So far as President Hill is concerned.
I have the highest respect for him
as a citizen. He has done some
wonderful things in the way of rail-
reading and guess everybody gives
him due credit for his extraordinary
qualities and his remarkable genius.
In the face of this. no sensible man
wants to see him or anybody else
get monopoly Of the entire COM
merial business Of the Northwest.
In the first place, he may have bust
ness interests in the North west, but
his greatest interests are in the
Great Northern road. We are stu
ated on the line of the Northern
Pacific and the officials treat us
with much consideration. We are
satisfied that the Northern Pacific is
splendid]y managed III it's operating
department. We are also satisfied.
by experience, tina t the Great North
elm ia not so we'll managed. For
this reason we individually dread
anything that might take away
what VIZ call good management and
leave us at the mercy OF a poorly
managed road. Now, we know
that when we want to tavel any
where, we get on board Of some of
the finest passenger coaches IN the
world. We are taken to our desti-
nation in good time and with
safety. We also know that on the
Great Northern we get poorer cars
and less assurances OF safety and
comfort. Now would he willing
to make wager that should both
roads be consolidated. human ma
ture would govern President Hill,
and ii he has Ms much common sense
as give him credit for, he will
build up the Great Northern at the
expense of its rival. We are now on
the main line of the greatest trans
continental railroad in the United
States. We might find ourselves on
a sidetrack,' for the through trains

der similar circumstances"
Nj. Nj. Williams, manager OF the
water power company. originally
lived in st. Paul and has extensive
interests in Little Falls. His hold
ings here are valuable, and he has
great faith in the future of the city.
Mr.. Williams said:
Il have watched carefully all the
proceedings in this matter, because 1t
seems that 80 much depends on tie
outcome. The Northern Pacific is Il
great property and has been instru-
mental in building up. the country.
Allowing that it has passed through
its worst trials, the Opportunity is
close at hand when it's earning power
will be greatly increased. IT. nat
urally took years to build up the
country along its route, and now it
should be preserved as an individual
enterprise. 1t is Il sad thing to con-
template the absorption of such n
stupendOus undertaking, Just when
it can realize the reward OF it's pio-
neer efforts in opening the country
to settlement and connecting the
great lakes with Inc Pacific coast.
There seems to he no argument that
can he brought to bear on the sub
ject of consolidation. II it is proper
to unite these two lines, why rot
Join the five lines to the Pacific? If
it is u good thing from public
standpoint to consolidate the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern
roads. it is n better thing to put all
the tran<cOntinental lines under one
management. There is no end TO
the argument II we start ont with
the proposition that it is for thcbest
interests Oh the people. In my Opin-
ion the combination ri these roads
would have Il bad effect on every
railroad in the country. 1t would
result in adverse legislation that
would almost ruin railroad manage
ment in the United States. In the
last legisla ture drastic measures
were barely averted, and there
would spring up the most extreme
laws in all the states. 1t is not just
that railroads should he oppressed.
but they certainly will be if the laws
of Minnesota are viola ted and dctied.
I understand that there is more OPP
position to this scheme along thc]lne
of the Great Northern than any
where else. There is probably not Il
single citizen in Little Falls who
would be in favor of the consolida-
ton. You do not find any, do you?"
