Pere Marquette After Business.

Some time ago we noted the pur-
chase OF the Manistique & Northern
road, short road running from
Manistique north TO connect with the
ID. ;. ;. * A. at Singleton. by the
Pere Marquette system OF lower
Michigan. That the Pere Marquette
has made up its mind TO get slice OF
the upper peninsula business is evil
denced by The visit OF a travelling a
gent TO points along the ID. ). ;. x A..
The Mining Journal says OF his visit
to Marquette:
81. A. Hewitt OF Milwaukee, travel
ing freight agent OF the Pere Mar
quette railroad, was in Marquette
Tuesday in the course Of prelimin-
airy survey OF the upper peninsula
territory, where his company intends
TO make a bid for its share OF the
freight tranic. 1ne Pere Marquette
system recently acquired the control
OF the ManiStique, Marquette 4
! Northern road, running between Man
iStique aud ShingletOn, and IS thus,
through traffic arrangement with
the South Shore road, prepared to
serve this territory by new route
The car ferry, with capacity Of
thirty TO thirty-fOm cars, will n" &c
daily trips between Ma"'stique and
Ludington This new route and con
nection with the Pcrc Marquette sy
tenn opens up TO the business people of
northern Michigan and northern Wis
conSin new territory in lower Michigan
and gives a short and desirable route
TO all points east For the passenger
traffic the car ferry furnishes excellent
accommodations.
Mr.. Hewitt says that the Pere Mar
quette system has its own terminals in
Buffalo, New York, Chicago, Detroit,
Toledo and Grand Rapids, with direct
connections with all these points. He
asserts that from now on the company
will pay an increasing amount of at
tention to the upper peninsula bus
mess, of which il expects TO corral its
full share. Mr. Hewitt finds business
in the lumber districts pretty good,
but in other parts of the peninsula
things are rather quiet. He reports
that the company has already made
fair progress in its quest for new bus
mess"
Mr.. Hewitt also visited Iron Noun
tain later on and is looking over all
the shipping points in the peninsula.
The Pere Marquette is great system,
well managed and liberal with
patrons. Crystal Falls will probably
be visited soon by the freight agent.
