Considerable comment has been made on the statement of
General Washburn, president of the "Soo Road", to the
effect that the Canadian Pacific has not obtained a
controlling interest in his line. The general impression
among railroad men is that such an interest was being
negotiated for, and could have been secured if the
Canadian Pacific wanted it, out that the Company was
really figuring for the DSS&A Ry., all the time, and
dropped the deal with the "Soo" people when the other was
consummated. As a matter of course, all this is guesswork
but there are many reasons for believing that those who
hold this cpinion are not far out of the way.
