WANT NO CHANGE.
In Running Time of Trains on
Iron Range Roads.

Relative to the change of time on
the range roads proposed by the Du-
luth business men, the Two Harbors
News has the following to say:
The Duluth Evening Herald is ad-
Vocating change of time on the
range roads, which will give residents
along the lines greater time in that
city between trains for trading.
While a change of this nature might
meet approval of the business men of
thaO city, their own interests and
that of the business men along the
lines should be considered by the
companies before such a request is
granted. Nine out Of ten of the per-
sons who 90 to Duluth to trade 90
there on passes. Their purchases
t hey bring home with them, often
blocking the aisles and sometimes
piling the seats high with bundles.
The business men of Duluth who en-
dorse the Herald's proposition do not
pay a dollar in freight to the roads
L
year in and year out. Any shipments
of articles too heavy or cumbersome
to carry does not swell to any ap-
preciable extent the income of the
roads. On the other hand, the bust
ness men along the range lines pay to
the railroads the stiff freight rates
asked without protest, and their
patronage is big item in the earn
ings of the roads. While the policy
of the company has not always been
favorable to home trade, they should
at least turn down the Herald's pro-
position from business standpoint,
if not actuated by a policy of fair
dealing with their customers"
Beriah Magotfin of Proctor has
written Vice President McGonagle
the following letter on the subject.
AS Proctor was one of the principal
points mentioned by the Duluth mer-.
chants the letter of Magoffin is to the
point, He says:
"We notice that Duluth is all work
ed up over the desire and anxiety to
get better railroad facilities and ac-
Communications to get to Proctor, 1t
would seem from the clamor of the
citizens and newspapers that Duluth
will inevitably go to the demnition
bow vows if the railroads don't give
better communication with Proc
i tor"
j "Now, there are two sides to the
question, and as general manager of
