THE RAILROADS
The Importance of the Purchase of the
Colorado Midland Road.
The New Southwestern Association, 1t Is
Said, will End Rate wars-Reckless
scalping-General Railroad News.

The most important railroad sale in months is
the one Just completed to the Atchison system
OF the Colorado Midi aud This not only gives
the Atchison its own line to Mojave and a con-
nection there with the Southern Pacific, bet
also its own line to Ogden and connection
there with the Southern Pacific, forming two
direct trans-continental lines between San Fran
cisco and Chicago. This dealis not only death
blow TO the Union Pacific orthvestern COM
bination. but it cuts off entirely the Rock Is
land, which road At one time expected to practi-
cally own the Midland, and become prominent
factor in tranScoptinental business. President
Marvel has acka owledged the fact of the
purchase but refuses to be interviewed on the
probable consequences to the com petitors OF the
Atchisop. II has long been known, however,
that the Southern Pacific bore no good will to
the Union Pacific. and Chicago railroad men are
positive existing routes will soon be radically
changed. The new Southwestern association,
of which the Southern Pacific and Atchison are
memters, comes near to a consolidation Of
all The roads interested that further combiua-
lions among its members to the exclusion OF
outsiders are considered a matter of course.
OF and predicted would be-.he control of the
Sou hwestern business by one railroad system
will have come 20 pass. Gould is working his
plans well and adroitly, and it looks now as if
he was getting his forces in shape to win a big
battle that is bound TO come. The Union Pa
elf has un oubtedly to contend with power
ful foe from this time on, and IL it comes out
winner luck will surely be against Gould, Man
vel and Huntington.
