STATE CAN FIX TARIFFS
VICTORY FOR PINGREE IN FIGHT
WITH MICHIGAN CENTRAL
Detroit Judge Holds That the Road,
by It's Charter, Is Not Exempt
From the Police Powers of the
Common Maniiamus
VIII Issue as Petftioned.

DETROIT, Feb. 5-Judge Donovan.
of the circuit court today issued man
damus in the suit brought by Gov. Pin
gree to compel the railroad company
to sell him a 1,000-mile ticket, good
not only for himself, but for any mem
Der of his family for $40.
In his opinion rendered, Judge Don
ovan reviewed the railroad company's
contention, viz: That under its special
charter the company was granted the
privilege of fixing its own rate of
fares, which privilege, however, was
claimed by the state to be indefinite,
as the roads charter merely gave the
company power to fix fares by by
law, and if so, under police power, only
reasonable rates could be fixed, as I'M
der such power, all rules touching the
welfare and duty of citizens, their
property, comfort and happiness, can
be regulated by law, this being true
of hackmen, millers, toll roads, COM
mon carriers, liquor dealers and all
others doing public business.
ut is Also" said the court, claimed
for the state that the Michigan Cen.
trail secured control of various branch
es, and reported to the state vast hold
ings with these roads, amounting, in
fact, to a consolidation with some six
or eight lesser lines. That these
branch lines were built by the Michi-
gan Central ore are held by stock or
mortgages in various ways by the COM
pany is not clearly designated in their
state reports"
Judge Donovan cited a report of a
New Jersey case in which it was held
that similar acts mean a consolida-
ton, and pointed out the fact that the
federal courts have held in a case from,
Georgia, bearing on exclusive rights
by charter to charge a five-cent fare
that the Legislature still has power 10
govern the rate. He also quoted Chief

british Americans Dream OF COntin-
nous Waterway to- the
Ocean.

WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. s. The
prospect of making a continuous water
way from Lake Superior to the Rocky
mountains is not such an impossible
scheme as many people may imagine
The costliest portion of the work would
be between Lake Superior and Rainy
lake, where a series of canals would
be required over the height of land to
reach the Rainy lake From the first
named point TO Edmonton, on the Sas-
katcheWan river, the work would be
compa1 atively light. Leading from
Rainy lake to the river of the same
name there is a lock partially built, a
gate only being needed to complete it.
Thence there is clear navigation to and
across the Lake of the Woods to the
Rosseau river, which flows into the
Red river, running for some distance
In the state of Minnesota Down the
Rosseau to the Red the fall IS gentle,
and the lake and two rivers are almost
of the same level and the dredging of
canal through a fiat, marshy tract
would give boats access to the Red
Thence there would be clear sailing to
the Saskatchewan, via the Red and
Lake Winnipeg. At the mouth of the
Saskatchewan the grand rapids would
have to be overcome by a canal Then
there would be uninterrupted naViga-
ton to Edmonton, a distance of 1000
miles. AS an alternative route there
Is one which cuts through the heart
of Manitoba, but which would involve
three or four locks, viz: From the Red
to the Assiniboine as far as Long lake.
thence by dredge channels and locks
to Lake Manitoba; one lock across a
short neck of land into Lake Winni-
pegoosis and a dredged channel from
WinnipegoOsis across a marsh into Ce-
dar lake, an extension of the Saskatch-
evan. Lake Winnipegoosis and Sas-
katcheWan are on the same level The
locks required for the latter route be-
tween the Assiniboine and Lake Mani
toba would not be more expensive than
those that would be required to over
come the grand rapids at the mouth
of the Saskatchewan. A company is
now applying for a charter to con-
struct permitting them to undertake
the work. The distance in an air line
between Lake Superior and Edmonton
is about 1,400 miles. The proposed
waterway, following a crcuitous route,
would be over 800 miles further than
