RAILROAD Ne VS.,

A deed transferring from the Canadian
Pacific Railroad Company to the Boston
and Maine the line Of road extending
from the state line at RichIord TO New
port, the present terminus OF both lines,
has been recorded in the town clerks
office at Richlord. Hon. c. A. Prouty OF
Newport, attorney for the Central Yer
mont, in speaking oil the matter, said;
"This move is probably taken by the Can
adam Pacific to avoid hauling through
freight over the steep grades bet een the
two places, and force the Boston and
Maine to come to this place for their
traffic. Thischangetakes one competing
line out of Newport and gives to Richford
the terminus OF three competing lines"
