bt. Paul Railway. About six weeks ago
b. l.. Merrill. General Manager of tie
\ line, with n number Of his familiar and
personal friends, among them certain
we'll posted Eastern capitalists, started
from Milwaukee In special car for San

West over the Union Pacific, the Cen
trail pacifis. the Southern Pacific, the
Mexican Central, the Denver aud Rio
Grande. the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, the Atlantic and Pacific and other
roads, aud only returned last week. In
an interview with Herald correspond
ent Merrill said he returned well
pleased with the West and its grand re-
sources. IL il now learned that there il
little donbt the purpose Of Merrill's visit
TO the West, particularly to California,
was the building OF another extension
Of the Chicago, Milwaukee and 81. Paul
To San Francisco. and active competi-
ton with the Union Pacific. the Bur
lington, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and
Northern Pacific roads. IL is known
that this road Is now engaged in ex-
tending their line to DsadwoUd, and the
track Ia laid TO Chamberlain. Dakota.
II would take little more to build it on
to the Pacific Coast. 1t il stated AIer
rili, while West, examined the country
to see where the best paying route from
Deadwood west could TO located. and
that be oanvassed the chances for such
an extension among Western railroad
men. He il said 10 have consulted in
San Francisco with prominent Pacific
Coast capitalists as 10 the prospects of
their taking bonds Of the new line.
There are said to be several big Eastern
capitalists ut present holders Of ST. Paul
stocks and bonds. The scheme will
excite much discussion. Merrill has
never been week away from his dsty
before since his connection with the st.
Paul road, and hence the importance
attached to the matter.
