SALE OF HILLS BOATS.
Transfer Is Regarded as Important
Upon Freiqht Rates.

Transfer Is Regarded as Important
Upon Freight Rates.
The transfer from the ownership
and control of the Hill interests to
that of the New York Central of the
freight boats and Buffalo docks and
elevator of the Northern Steamship
company has been accomplished, and
it is regarded by traffic men as a
most important transaction.
The property of the Northern
Steamship company included in the
transfer consists of the six large
freight carrying steamers and the
docks and elevator of the Northern
Steamship company at Buffalo. This
elevator was built few years ago
at a cost of 100000. The amount
involved in the transaction is $780,
600. The passenger steamers of the
Northern Steamship company, of
which there are two-the Northwest
and the Northland-are not included
| in the SALE The freight steamers
| sold to the eastern road are of $500
tons capacity EACH says the Chicago
Chronicle.
The effect of the change in owner
ship from the western railroad inter
est to the trunk lines is expected tC
| influence the traffic, as it relates tC
flour and grain and ore shipments
from the northwest to Atlantic ports
Under the new arrangement the Nor
thern Steamship company will bt
virtually an extension of the lines
of the purchasing roads to the heat
of Lake Superior with terminals OF
the west shore of Lake Michigan.
The Northern Steamship compan!
was organized in 1888 by J. J. Hill
and the six freight boats were pu
into commission that season. Thu
purpose of the organization of tn
line was to give to Duluth and tn
Twin Cities equal rates on the east
bound freight to the seaboard witt
other points in the lake region. Pre-
vious to that time, when the North
ern Steamship company was organ
their steamer lines, had PRACTICAL
controlled and altogether dominate
the freight traffic of the upper lake!
The Duluth rate on eastbound freigh
has been largely the result of thi
competition.
The fact that the trunk lines POI
? sessed steamships which cOnnecte
at the lower lake ports with the raj
roads led to friction in the int
: change of traffic between the Hi
: roads and steamers and trunk line
The Northern Steamship compan
naturally wanted freight transferre
S to it at it's eastern terminal, viii
|. the trunk lines as naturally wante
to get the benefit of the long waite
carriage for their own boats an
J. make the point of transfer at Dulut
+ The passing of the Northern Stear
ship freighters to the hands of tt
trunk lines removes this cause
y friction The prime object of the O
d SANITATION of the Northern Stear
ship company being the assurance
equal rates for Duluth, this won
n seem to have been most successful
g accomplished, as by the terms of tt
tranfer the New York Central al
other trunk line roads are to insu
S. the preservation of this rate.
