This paper is of the opinion that the MH&O company's mangge-
ment of the roads operating between this port and the mines about
here will not be such as to compel the mine owners to think of
building a line of their own. To force them to that step would be
to destroy the value of the railroad company's own property and the
management is altogether too intelligent and shrewd to do that. It
is represented locally by a general manager, Mr. John Hornby, who
understand the situation perfectly, and we feel assured that any
proposition to burden mines with excessive freight charges an their
freight traffic would encounter determined opposition.
