ern Pacific Railroad.
CHICAGO. June 23d-A. A Times
spe cial from New York saws: The Duke Of
Sutherland and parry will visit Newport
Saratoga, and perhaps Long Branch, and sail
for England July q. The party went to the
Poetic coast by way of the Southern Pacific
Railroad. The Duke comments on this road
as one of interest, rightly built aud properly
managed. Said he That road should be
an important part of your railway system.
1t makes most direct route for the Pacific
through fertile region l am told, and it
ought to develop large local traffic,
and do good work in con-
Meeting the East with the West. 1t
should be well constructed line, capable of
having trains run at a high speed. | think
these lines ought to get large share of the
traffic which now goes by way of the Suez
Canal between India and Great Britain.
Such way Of reaching the old country would
be very pleasant one. 1t would give ore e
view of the country, and introduce a very
agreeable variety. | think there would be
enough travel to keep four lines running
across the western plains and have no doubt
that all the lines now projected or in progress
will turn out to be good properties. The
present roads might be very much improved
by Increasing their speed. 1t is all well
enough when the trains are going, but the
ng waits at stations are annoying. Think |
of four hours standing on siding. ] think |
we lost full day on the Southern Pacific by |
this dilly- dallying process"
