ming upon the best plan and rOute for the con
struetiop Of the Pacific Road. It is desirable
that all companies west Of The Mississippi
sboBld combine upon a single route. All the
rssds from ST. Louis to New Orleans running
West. should converge at a given point in TIE
state Of Texas, and from this pOint, to Fl Psso,
or to San Francisco, the united credit and capt.
tai Of the several companies nay be combined
for the prosecution Of this most magnificent
Railway scheme ever conserved in this or any
other country.
By no other means than this consolidation Of
strength and influence, can Federal aid be OBJ
tanned, and by no other means aside from Sow
srnmsntal ownership, can this national work
be accomplished without union among comPe-
ting routes and a fermentation Of conflicting
views and interests, Congress cannot enact any
measure, each route and road having it's pecu-
liar friends in the Senate and House Of Repre-
ssntatives.
