There is no doubt but a great
many people appreciate the injury
of such monopoly as would re-
suit from the union of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific,
and that while not much has been
said publicly against it, protests
have been made that should have
some effect. The people of
Spokane Falls gave the Great
Northern a very large bonus for
building into their city, and thus
furnishing railroad competition,
and the following from Mondays
St. Paul Dispatch will show that
they will protest against the fraud
that would result from deriving
them of the competition they have
paid for: president Hill, of the
Great Northern, is en- route home,
in which event he will probably
miss seeing L. G. Dillman, the
Spokane millionaire, who is re-.
ported to have passed through the
city hurriedly a day or so ago on
business, which, perhaps, might
interest Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Dillman is
one of the solid men Of Spokane,
lic.spirited hustler, who has
done much for his city and has
always enjoyed keen appreciation
in return. There is not a progress.

behalf of the Great Northern ag.

Considering,s however. the ne

control Of the Northern Pacific,
the people Of Spokane, including
Mr.. Dillman, are beginning to
wonder whether, in their enthusi-

what they will not long enjoy.
There is feeling all along the line
regarding the possible consoida.

stronger than at Spokane, which
does not care to relinquish the adj.

believe the report that Mr.. Dillman

to the bottom, and endeavor, as
much as possible, to spike the guns
