The St. Ignace Republican claims to have interviewed the general superintendent of the MC recently with the following results: "A. E. Brown, general superintendent o£ the MC, in town last week, says the sale of the South Shore to the CPR will in no way interfere with the present traffic arrangements. The most harmonious relations exist between the two roads, and he predicts that more freight than ever will find its way via the MC, indeed an arrangement to that effect has already been entered into." Mr. Brown is considered better on subjects of this nature than an enthuseastic [*enthusiastic] Soo pencil pusher.
