Regarding the report sent out from Champion to several
outside dailies, to the effect that the DSS&A the ''Soo"' and
the N&N have in contemplation the construction of an independ-
ent ore-carrying line from Champion to Gladstone, and the erec-
tion at the latter point of imnense ore docks, with a view of
competing with the C&NW for ore traffic now controlled by the
latter road, it is entirely wanting in truth. ‘he report was
put on the wire by ‘a correspondent who is much more anxious to
run up a big bill each month against the vapers he serves than
to give them reliable information concerning matters in this
re n, and who is, besides, not in a position to learn before-
nand of the purposes of the great railway corporations, even
though he were conscientious in the matter of news he sends out,
which we incline to believe he is not.
