Marinette, Wis, Dec. 20.-[Special]-
A gentleman of this city is in receipt of
a letter from a prominent attorney of
Sault Ste. Marie concerning great
project the Canadian Pacific railroad has
on foot The attorney wished to OBJ
tain any information that could be CIV
en- him in regard to the scheme which,
he said, he understood was nearing COM
pletion. In fact, the letter states that
the Canadian Pacific railway has already
begun operations on a branch road that
will pass through Marinette county.
The project is to connect the $500
with Chicago by q continuous road con-
trolled by one corporation. The Cana
dian Pacific practically owns the 500"
road and in connection with it could
make quick and direct union with the
great Western metropolis. The 800"
attorney intimated that the enterprise
was not only formulated but that the
work had already begun. Gas the road
haps you could give me some valuable
information in regard to it" he writes.
The plan is not a new one. but tho
Tenor of the lawyers note induces the
citizens to believe that there is something
back of his assertions. The Canadian
Pacific road, since it controls the $780,"
could easily buy the Wisconsin & Michi-
gan line and in this way get it's direct
connections with Chicago. This looks
very plausible and it would not surprise
the railway world if the great Canadian
road should make a move of this sort.
