Just a Stockholders War.

The controversy over the alleged
combination Of the Great Northern
Aand Northern Pacific railroads in this
and other states still RACES and the
courts have the matter in hand to
settle. #
Extreme and sensational state
ments are appearing in the twin city
papers, and especially those depen-
dent on Minneapolis interests, as to
what great damage North Dakota
will receive if the plans of the North
ern Securities Go. are allowed to bs
carried out. Every effort to arouse,
excite and agitate public sentiment is
being made, but it seems that only a
slight degree otsuccess has followed.
The people of North Dakota are not
prespiring under their collars with
fears of combine which has been in
effect in this state, with all the roads,
for 10 these many years. High rates
have been and are in force and the
public does not see how any help can
come in reducing them if the plans
of the opposition to the Hill PROPOSE
tion do succeed. 1t seems to be a
war that originates with and is being
carried on by the stockholders of the
rival roads and not with the people
of North Dakota at least.-James-
