Col. SCOTT Interviewed.


Accompanied by a large party OF
Influential railway men, Col. Scott
recently passed ovorI tho Pennsyl-
vanla Centraps many leased lines
IN the West. He was in Chicago
ON the 18th instant, having passed
through st. Louis the day before,
where he was interviewed as fol-
lows:
aHow about the Southern Pa
1--WE call it tho Texas-P Pacific
That road is developing rapidly,
and is already producing trade
beyond the expectations of its
friends. 1 expect when l get home
20 complete q contract for the ex-
tension of seven hundred and fifty
miles of Fort Worth, to be finished
In two years, connecting 1t in New
Mexico with the Southern Pacific
road, which is the western part OF
the Texas-P Pacific. This connection
will form another through line
from st. Louis to San Francisco"
49, sSs1R W III - &c 'rscAo nit'
road is completed through, so that
passenger can run from st. Louis
70 California by the Texas and
Southern Pacific?n
drhe proposition of the parties is
to have 1t completed In two years
from the signing of the contract l
referred to. BY the time we get to
the western boundry OF New Mex
leo the Southern Pacific will have
reached that point coming east"
"Will that route be any shorter
from st. Louis than the old one?''
tsAbout one hundred miles. Tex
arkAna will be the eastern termi.
nus for the main road. At that
point we will connect with the
Iron Mountain road, and at Deni-
son . connection will be made with
tho Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
Thus = through direct connection
will be made with st. Louis by two
lines.u
