REASONS MADE TO ORDER ny DALLAS
WHY TWO RAILROAD COMPANIES
SHOULD DO CERTAIN THINGS
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Dec. 20.--It is rumored,
ON apparent good foundation, that there
is very strong probability OF the Dallas &
Wichita passing into the hands of the
Atnlson company by the LIST of February,
by purchase as part of the Gulf, Col
orsdo & Santa re system. Itis said the
latter company last summer made an OF.
fer for the Dallas & Wichita, but that 1t
was declined; that very recently
the offer has been renewed and
that no acceptance or rejection has oc-
Cured. II Is said the matter will come
up for final consider tion at the annual
meeting OF the stockholders OF the Dallas
y Wichita, to be held at Dallas on Janu-
airy IL II Is argued that the Missouri
Pacific does not now need the Dallas &
wichita, since II has equally as convent
ent an Inlet ana outlet over the
new Dallas & Greenville and is
penetrating Northwest Texas via Gaines
Vile, Henrietta, etc. 1t ia
also argues that the Atchison does need the
Dallas & Wichita or new line virtually
paralleling II, to bring its Gainesville ana
Fort Worth llue into Dallas for Kansas
City and Chicago business. 1t Is reason
able that the Missouri Pacific
would sooner sell at n
good trade than TO be paralleled.
