for one of the divisions. The storekeep-
ers headquarters will be retained at

the line towards the Western Passenger
association, he said that no proposition
had yet been made which the Wisconsin
Central thought best to accept. He de-

stood by it's agreements.

strongly against our holding out, and re-

might change their views. AS a ma tier
of fact the weak lines, so-called, have not
been more deeply mixed up in operations
contrary to agreement than some of the
strong lines. The more prominent roads

ure, because 1t would not be ordinarily
suspected that strong line would con-
