new feature is added to the local dis
cussion of the transfer of the St. Paul
& Duluth to the Northern Pacific by the
annotincement made yesterday on repu-
table authority that the Milwaukee has
recently been offered wheelage basis use
of the line to the head of the lakes and
refused to entertain the proposition. This
indicates that the conviction, which has
seemed to be somewhat general, that the
Northern Pacific would prevent the Mil
waukee's proposed construction to Duluth
by offering the use of the new acquisition
on reasonable terms may prove to be
based on little probability
The statement of an official in possess
sion of the facts is to the effect that
within the past six weeks the st. Paul
e Duluth sought to harmonic interest
at the head of the lakes and prevent the
Increased competition of a new line by
offering the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul the use of the shortest line at very
little above the actual cost of operation
The figures named were considered ex-
reedingly reasonable. The Milwaukee re-
fused to entertain the proposition, and
submitted its answer rejecting the offer
An open question now is Whether the ac-
tion of the Milwaukee, a road known to
be very anxious to get into Duluth, can
be taken as confirmation Of the semi
official declaration of the system that the
surveyed Duluth line will be built at
Once.

particular selling pressure. There was.
some selling of May IN exchange for july.
