there than at any other exhibit, the
pavilion did not appear crowded"
Oficials of the Pere Marquette en-
phatically deny that there IL any prob
ability of that road being absorbed by
the Canadian Pacific OF any other
system Just at present II 10 merely a
revival OF an old rumor they say. IL
10 hard to see what the Canadian Pa
cific would gain by the acquisition OF
the Pere Marquette. The Canadian
Pacific has adequate facilities In the
territory which the Pere Marquette
serves. II Is more likely that the Ca
madam Northern would be looking for
an opportunity to get the road to pro-
vide an outlet into Detroit and Chi
cago through lower Ontario. The Ca
radian Northern has large ambitions
and IL now building tracks to make IL
a transcontinental system as well as
lire from Toronto to Buffalo. With
the Pere Marquette Il would be able
TO compete with the Grand Trunk and
the Canadian Pacific in this territory.
No negotiations with the Canadian
Northern are In progress. nor with
any other road. II II declared.
