The movement in Memphis toward
the establishment of railroad commu-
nication with Augusta, ETC., has excited
much interest here. The eastern division
of the thirtieth parallel railroad claim
ing to hold prior, paramount and the
exclusive right to direct connection al
most exclusively upon the ridgeland be-
tween Memphis, Augusta, Searey and
so on west to New Mexico, has
already defeated certain blackmailing
schemes Of paper corporations applying
/ for county aid, and is in active negotia-
ton for the prompt construction of its
road-a line which would make Mem
| phis the crossing-place on the Missis-
nppi for the main route to the Pacific
coast, as the thirty-first parallel route is
certain to be line already possessing
clean right of way to New Mexico, and a
grant of Indian lands might probably
prove of more ultimate value than any
mere local branch to be established as
an ofishot of some other local road. 1t
would appear that all interests should be
harmonized rather than that a conflict
should defeat the common end. 1t is
understood, however, that the eastern
division of the thirty-fifth parallel,
claiming exclusive right, insists upon
the immediate actual construction of its
own line of road. The names of the
owners and controllers of the enterprise,

the work in good faith for the railroad,

NJ. Pomeroy acts as the attorney of the
company. Certainly it has, in remark
ably quiet way, expended large amounts
of money and years of exertion to attain
its present franchises, and it is very
evident that it means to retain and use
them.
