ASK AID FOR NEW ROAD
Port Arthur Men Would Build Line t
New Iron Ore Fields.

New Iron Ore Fields.
Port Arthur, Ont. June 19.-Messrs
Marks & Wiley, of Port Arthur, are ap-
plying for government bonus in aid Of a
proposed railway, the Nepigon & Iron
Range, which they claim they are desir-
Gus of building if they can get sufficient
aid. They have taken large tracts Of
land near Black Sturgeon lake, northwest
OF Lake Superior, on which are said to be
deposits Of iron of much value. Lands
in that region have been taken up by
number Of interests, chiefly Canadian, and
IT Is absolutely necessary, If they are to be
developed, that railway connection shall
be made
Not sufficient exploration has yet been
carried out to determine whether there
is great avlue or not tho the owners are
enthusiastic There Is another railway
project for the north shore of Lake Su-
perior. also seeking aid from the Canadian
ogevrnment. This Is the NepiHop Railway
company, which proposes to build from
Lake Superior to the ore fields east Of
Nepigon Lake. This Is in the hands of
James Conmee we'll known politician,
and others. So far as explorations east of
Nepigon have been made public. they have
shown large district carrying ample
indications OF iron, much ferruginous
states and rich jasper, but little merchant
able ore. More extended and throo ex-
plorations may, Of course, change all this,
but several Of the leading companies in
the field have pulled off for the present,
at least, and are not now interested ac-
lively In the district.
The continental height of land inter-
venes ebtween the Black Sturgeon and
Nepigon sections. On the latter the best
talent, both American and Canadian, has
been at work in the past two or three
years. In the Black Sturgeon region lit
tie work has ever been done. Indications
are claimed to be most flattering.

COAL RATES EXPLAINED
Railroad Men Before the State Railroad
Comm ISIS ion,


Minnesota railroads charge higher rates
for the transportation Of coal and lumber
because, in the first place, they do not
have to contend with water routes. They
also charge higher rates because labor and
material cost more in Minnesota, and
operating expenses are higher.
These were reasons advanced yesterday
at the hearing before the railroad and
warehouse commission, which was at
tended by representatives of nearly all
the Minnesota roads. The strong point
made by the railroad representatives was
one of public interest. 1t was asserted
that coal rates were equaized so that the
rate from lake ports on Pennsylvania coal
was the same rates from the Illinois
mines. This, as explained by ]. II. Hiland
OF the Milwaukee, permitted the low grade
Illinois coal to compete in this market,
and gave consumers in Minnesota a
greater field for supply. To reduce the
rate from Duluth would shut Illinois coal
out of the market, reduce competition and
benefit the dealers rather than the public.
Mr.. Hiand said that all rates were in
consistent. and had to be made with a.
number Of things In mind not only short
haul distances, but the volume of traffic,
industrial and commercial conditions For
instance low rates were made on logs and
lumber from the lakes inland. to bring the
raw material to mills where it was manu-
featured into a finished product, which
the road got to haul again. Without the
low rate on the raw material the Milwau-
kee would not get to haul the product
High rates on lumber in Minnesota, he
said. affected only the farmers and 9TH

President Pond Of the Wisconsin
Central Says That Rate Will
Be Permanent.
Western General Passenger Agents
Had the Word Repeated to
Them Yesterday.

Chicago. June 19.--The normal first
class passenger rate between Chicago and
St. Paul will be SIS on all lines after June
20 At the meeting here yesterday OF
general passenger agents OF western
roads, j. C. Pond of the Wisconsin Cen
trail repeated the declaration made by
him to them in st. Paul on June 81
If the Wisconsin Central is forced to
put in the rate Of IS. that rate will con-
tinue not for a week or a month. or the
year 1908. but will be the permanent rate
between Chicago and st. Pau"
This will force a corresponding cut in
the rate between Chicago and st. Louis
Omaha and Kansas City. While no rail-
road has yet given official notice of a re-
duction except between here and the twin
cities, it Is only a question of time when
all the roads will be forced to revise all
the rates west Of Chicago
1t was voted by the executive commit
tee of the Western Passenger association
to recommend the adoption of a 3,000-mile
ticket. Unanimous agreement is neces-
sary to make the change, and two of the
members of the executive committee are
opposed to the proposition.

j. Il. Clark, traffic manager Of the

IN the last few years. and that they We're
higher in Minnesota than In adjoining

explained the discrepancy between long

traffic was by far the most expensive to

Grover Of the Great Northern urged that

sion should let well enough alone, and not

The railroad officials filed incomplete
answers to the questions asked by the
commission, saying that 1t was impossible
to get data to reply to most of them, such
as the cost Of transporting car loads Of
coal and lumber, and the equipment used
in Minnesota.

amendments, and added:
Interstate commerce legislation will be an i'm

mission with power to enforce its rulings. The
