ager Summerfield from one of the heav-
lest English bondholders announces
that he has taken a steamer for Amer
lea and will arrive the latter part of
next week. Whether the road will pass
into the hands of Jay Gould and be
operated in connection with the Mis-
souri, Pacific system is something that
cannot be determined until a conference
is held and the affairs OF the North
western company strengthened. 1t is
certain that Gould wants full control of
the road. When he made tour of i'll
spectlon over the entire Northwestern
system this week, he was SO surprised
over the condition of the road bed and
equipments that he became very en-
tbusiastic. Il is a recognized fact
among railway men that the road bed
of the Northwestern is more solid and
in better condition than that of any
other new line in the country. In the
event of Mr.. Gould getting the road,
some great Improvements will be made
that will place it among the leading
lines running out Of this city. just
what these Improvements will be can
not be told until after the deal is con,
summated.
