NORTHWESTERN GETS CONTROL
Minnesota Central Submits to the
Inevitable.

The deal which has been in progress
for more than year comes to light
recently and the people are informed
that the Northwestern Telephone COM
pany has taken over the interests of
the Minnesota Central and the lines
will be controlled by one management
with Offices in Minneapolis.
This apparently is the inevitable end
of all small companies. They may
operate for time and apparently be
successful but in the end they will have
to give way to the largest and it was
only a position Of time when the Mime
sofa Central would have to give up
to the Tri-S State or the Northwestern
and it preferred to risk its interests
with the latter.
Boston interests have been active in
securing Minnesota Central stock and
it was thought at the time this was be
ing taken up that it was done in the
interest of the deal which is just an
