HITCH N TIE n. ?. DEAL DEAL
MANITOBA LEGISLATURE MAY
TURN 1T DOWN
MELLEN GOT THE BEST OF DEAL
1t Is Claimed That the Terms Are
OutrageOusIy High, and That
the Province Will Be
Rurdened.

After many months of tedious negotia-
lions there is a possibility that Premier
Robins deal with the Northern Pacific
may not be ratified by the legislature,
and the whole matter may be dropped.
When negotiations had reached a GER
tain stage, a caucus of the more promi-
nent Conservative party members was
held, and, it was stated at the time that
the whole deal was unanimously APP
proved. Thereupon the premier closed
out the arrangement.
Now, after the terms of the lease have
been made public, there is a strong SEN
timent that the railroad has secured by
far the better of the deal 1t is claimed
that the astute president of the Northern
Pacific is securing for a line that has
never paid expenses far more than it
cost to build or is worth at the present
time
EX-Mayor Andrews, of Winnipeg, was
the first prominent Conservative to open
ly condemn the deal, and his action in
addressing an open letter to the pre-
mier has been followed by a number of
the best men in the party.
In the meantime MeSsrs. Mackenzie &
Mann, who are large beneficiaries under
the existing arrangements, are endeavor-
ing to propitiate the Manitobans by
promises of large car shops, expensive
terminals and an immense theater ana
hotel. This firm will take over the roll
ing stock of the Northern Pacific on the
Canadian side. Messrs. Mackenzie and
Mann were in St. Paul yesterday, in ref
erence to this matter, it is believed
OF course the opposition to the deal
made by Robin is encouraged by the C..
Z. r. This company stands to lose heav-
lily if the arrangement is carried out, and
every spark OF discomfort is zealously
tanned by its representatives, both in
Manitoba and in the East.
A communication from a number of
wealthy Winnipeggers to Premier Rob
lin concludes with the following words:
If the contract is ratified as it is
drawn it will in our opinion, mean di-
rect taxation of such magnitude that
every resident in Manitoba will be most
seriously affected, and the value Of all
land and securities will be depressed and
the hope of government ownership Of
railways be indefinitely postponed"
