NEW LINE To HE GULL
4 Scheme to Build Railroad From
 ne~sota to Snbine Pl.s.

DRs MONIES. Dec. 4.-Recently tsn was filed in the office of the secit ' of state articles of incorpor8tioa lt the Lake Superior Southwestern s,ad Gulf railroad, an orxanization with D capital stock of Sl0.0e0. 000 Obviously for business reasons the incorporators kept mum. It is now learned that the organization of the company has been for the purpose of consolidation and operating under a single management of one or more roads in Minnesota and one north and south lire through Iowa and Missouri. The construc ion of 200 miles of road south from Aurora. an important station on the San Francisco line in Missouri will give the Lqkp Su- perior, Southwt stern and Gulf road ac-. cess to Little Rock. Ark. at which point easy connection with other lines will be made for New Orleans and Sa- bine Pass. the latter of which offers un- surpassed harbor facilities at tide water on the gulf.
 The whole system completed will give a direct line of all rail communi- cation from Duluth, Minn., to the gulf at Sabine Pass, an arrangement long desired which will relieve the milling, grain and lumber interests of the nor th- west and transmississippi country of the arbitrary demands of the trunk lines east of Chicago. The lines already built together with those upon which construction will soon begin, will shorten the distance to the gulf from 128 to l50 miles and will traverse the most productive portions of the north west and south, penetrating at the northern terminal the great wheat and lumber regions of Minnesota and pass ing southward enter the inexhaustible corn and coal fields of Iowa and Mis- souri.
