Does Enter Rhode Island.

Portland. Me-, Feb. 2o.-Portland
people are watching with interest the
attempt of the Grand Trunk Railway
to obtain a terminal in Providence

port adversely
The Grand Trunk has several hun
dred thousand dollars invested in its
terminal here. including two grain
elevators with a total capacity of g.
900 900 bushels, and it is known that
plans have recently been made for an
immense concrete grain bin to hold a
million bushels. which can be used
with the present elevators. The COM
pletion of the Grand Trunk Pacific is
expected to vastly increase the grain
shipments over the road and Portland
expects to get its share of this bust
ness.
