Pacific. This will, at the same time that
it renders it unnecessary for the st. Paul
to, build its projected line to the Pacific
coast, create a, neutral party, controlling,
by the st. Paul-N ortherns Pacific COM
bine, factor as powerful as that con-
trolled by the Hill-Morgan crowd, thru
the Great Northern-Burlington or by
cago & North Western.
+ An Interlocking Combination.
In other words, there is to be insti-
tuted three separate groups Of mag
mates, each with equal factors Of con-
troll. OF these, two, the .Hil-Morgan
and Hartman groups, have long been
at war The third, Rockefeller Rogers
Standard Oil, comes into the scombina-
ton as neutral. ~
This balance Of power in the hands
Of q neutral HAVING been established,
the comb animation is to be still further ee-
resentation in each of the two ..direc-
torates controlled by the other two.
In this manner, it is asserted, har-
mony will be perpetuated; the secrets
Of each group will always be known
to the other two, and all danger of dis
astrous competition or of action at
cross purposes will be averted.
At the same time the grip of the
whole combination upon the northwest
ern territory, with its limitless cereal
growing, mining and sheep and cattle
ranging industries, and its preferential
routes for transcontinental shipments,
will be fastened with almost unbreak-
able force.
