Details of Management for the Other
New York, Aug. 13.-With the arrivats
Morgan and President Griscom Of the In
ences are expected to begin to arrange
steamship combination as far as this side
is concerned, the details abroad being
virtually completed. <-.E~7s -.
The present plan, it is understood, is to-
operate the separate lines as at present
until Mr.. Morgan and his associates se-
cure out-and-out control; of the proper
ties. In England the head Office will be
in London, where the British board OF
control will meet. It is understood that
the Rt. Hon. w. J. Pirrie will be chair
man of the British central board. After
Jan. 1 it is the present intention, accord
| ing to a reliable source of information.
| to abolish the separate boards and to
| manage the entire British business OF all
| the lines through executive traffic officers
under the direction of the control board.
! It is expected that the British arrange
| 1nent will be duplicated to very large
| extent on this side, with Mr.. Griscom as
chairman. One plan that is under con-
| sideration is, that instead of incorporat-E
| ing an entirely new company, to utilize
| the old Pennsylvania charter of the In
| ternational Navigation company and in-
crease the capital to $170,000,0 900, includ-
| ing $50, ,000, 900 Az per cent debenture
| bonds, $50, 900 900 per cent preferred
| stock and $60,000,000 common stock. A

A NEW RAT'EFAC1OR
Country Millers to Take More Of a
aH Hand.
FAVOR MORE POWER FOR I. c. C.
The Question Has Been Agitated
Particularly by the North
Dakota Millers.

There Is much evidence that the coun
try miller Is to become warm advocate
Of regulation Of railway rates by a gov
ernment commission, or in other words,
the granting of more power to the inter-
state commerce commission. Many of the
Minnesota and South Dakota millers in
dividually express strong opinions in this
direction, and the North Dakota millers
are reinforcing their action of their state
organization by asking their congresslon-
al delegation to, actively support the
measures now before congress granting
the Interstate commerce commission
more power.
This question has been more thorough
ly agitated among the millers of North
Dakota than those of the other two
states. They complain bitterly OF dis
elimination in the past by the railroads
against the smaller mills. They concede
that the situation is much better since
the injunctions were served on the Varl-
Gus railroads operating between Chicago
and other central points in the middle
west, but they enthusiastically indorse
the proposition that regulation through
q commission with power to enforce Its
Rulngs will be an added Improvement.
One Of the representative millers of the
state says:
There is some good argument against grant
ing more power to the interstate commerce
commission. 1t comes to us principally from
the railroads and big shippers and we recog
nize that there may be son,e merit In it, But
our experience has taught us that we neec
the assistance of power over and above the
railway manager II the small mill is to receive
fair treatment from the roads in its hgh
against It's competitor in the big centers. W.
have suffered from the demoralizing rebate
system which was on in all its glory unit
the recent injunctiors We're served by the
courts. Temporarily the situation is some
better but it Is not what 1t should be now
Traffic managers would undoubtedly like tt
maintain rates absolutely. They have demon
strated their inability to do so. The govern
ment should assist them through its commits
sion.
Notwithstanding the talk that the busines
interests of this state have no objection t
the merger you will find that most Of the mill
ers of North Dakota will not subscribe to tn
shsory that the elimination Of railway com
petition is a good thing. We need competl
sion here under present conditions in orde
to develop the industry. If the merger hold
and competition between the Great Norther
and Northern Pacific is consequently elimin
ated as Is the case now, strict governmen
regulation Of railway rates cannot come to
soon. No matter what may be the attitude c
millers in other states toward this kind c
legislation the millers Of this state are TO
It and we hope to secure the active and ag
sressive assistance OF our congressman an
senators.

Plan Under Considerations.

Sir VIM. Van Horne Outlines the
Plan Under Consideration.
Special to The Journal. .--.
New York, Aug. 13.-Sir William Van
Horne, chairman Of the board Of Cana
dian Pacific, speaking of the Canadian
Pacific fast line project, says:
The Canadian Pacific has no dealings with
the British government direct. We make our
representations to the Dominion government
and they in turn will come to an agreement
If possible with the British government as to
subsidy, rights, conditions, etc. I believe we
shall be able to make thoroughly satisfactory
arrangements with the Dominion government.
If there has been any hitch it Is between the
Canadian government and the British gov
ernment. We have the people Of Canada
wholly and heartily with US. 1t has been
recognized for long time that such line
is essential to the commercial prosperity of
the country. and the project has been mooted
in various forms for many years.
Our project has nothing to do with the so
called Morgan combine. We had our plan
in mind long before the Morgan combine was
mentioned.
The st. Lawrence route Is thoroughly prac-
ticable, safe and adequate for fast stoam-
| ship service between Quebec and British
ports. Below Quebec the river is OF tre-
mendous width and has perfectly safe chan
nels. All that is necessary 10 make LIS lou'e
| as safe as any waterway in the world Is the
setting of a certain number of signals, and
the general safeguarding of the channel such
as is necessary in the case OF any harbol
entrance This work will be done by the
Canadian government.
| When our line is fully established oul
summer route will be via the Straits of Belle
Isle during the best part of the summer ane
south Of Newfoundland when the route by the
straits become impracticable. The winter
port will be Halifax.

Miss Peaks room was artistically
decorated with pictures, flags and

rendered in very credible manner.

Next Friday night a public en-

course from our school, and in or

number of free exhibitions.
