inaugurated here by the establishment Of
the southern terminus of the Missouri Pa
cihc in Dallas will SO increase the amount
of work in the matter of switch
| ing freight trains that all the
room at the East Dallas yard
will be needed for freight trains, thus
making n seriously incouvenient state of
affairs for passenger trains. In order to
obyate the difficulty, it is understood that

table at the Missouri Pacific and Texas d
| Pacific junction lold Dallas & Wichita ter
minus and also number of side-tracks
thus relieving the East Dallas yard
Of much of its present work. 1t

| the plan is adopted that there is almost
certainty that an adequate union depot for
| the Gould system Including the East
Line 4 Red River road will be erected in
| the neighborhood Of the present downtown
passenger depot
