The Canadian Pacific Road Which Has

been cautiously reaching out its long tentacles toward American railroads, has at last gobbled the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic, which purchase has created quite a sensation in railroad circles. This road runs from St. Ignace to Dulutb, and is 528 miles in length. It has always been a good contributor to the Michigan Central in the way of freight which will ncw be turned across the Soo and eastward over the Canada line. It is a bad blow both at the Central and the Grand Trunk, which had hoped at some time to do just what the Pacific has done. This move gives the Canadian Pacific complete control of all northwestern traffic, and gives it the power to crowd American lines seeking trade from thatdirection, in close quarters. __________
