meeting with a road Of tho same namr to
be chartered under tho laws of the state
of Texas. And from thence tho line
will be continued in a northeasterly
direction.
Now Just whether this latter will
end up at Liberal and eventually be-
come Il part of the Rock Islands system,
the White Oaks management will not
say, for obvious business reasons; and
for the present. only such information
is given out as may have "A direct bear
ing upon what the articles of the incor-
poration contain. However, other rail
road men who know how to put this and
that together, believe more than ever,
that this whole thing is a Rock Island
scheme: and that the great corporation
having fallen down in its attempt to
beat Uncle Russell Sage and George
Gould in getting hold of the Texas &
Pacific system, has found another way
to reach the Ell Paso gateway, viz: via
Liberal and the White Oaks & Kansas
City and Ell Paso & Northeastern lines.
This will give the Rock Island a straight
tain ranges to climb over. and
shorten tlt ulSJdlCt w NillCdSO
$50 miles, to say nothing about
the time gained in not being obliged
to slow up in climbing hills. A signif-
cant indication of which way the wind
is blowing is the size and number of the
engines ordered from the Baldwin To-
connective works by the White Oaks man
agement. These immense machines are
as large, if not larger than the big
Cookies bought by the Southern Pacific
company for hauling heavy freight
trains between Del Rio and Tucson. 1t
a remarked not long ago by the Her
aid, that locomotives of this size were
for no little one horse road, and events
are iustifying the remark. At this time
of writing, 1000 feet of track have been
laid up on the Mesa, and as the ties are
now coming in rapidly. track laying is
being pushed at a fast gait.
1t has also been predicted locally by
well posted railroad men that when the
Rock Island has at length shown its
hand, it will be found to have also Sc
cured control of the Ell Paso Southern,
the Corralitos road to Casas Grandes,
and Colonel A. X. Owens projected line
from Casas Grandes to Top0lobampo bay.
Then with a southwestern Pacific ocean
connection, the Rock Island will be
strictly in the swim.

The Federal Grand Jury investigations,

The Lordsburg Liberal looks upon
the Investigations now being held by the
federal grand jury into the charges OF al
legged bribery and corruption in the
Thirty-tirs and Thirty-second legislative
assemblies in a very sensible and public
spirited manner. commenting thereon as
follows:
THE Santa Fe grand jury which has
been investigating the alleged bribery
of some of the members of the late leg
islature is still at work. 1t has inter
viewed many people who are supposed
to know about some of the crooked
work of some of the legislators, but
whether it has accumulated enough evil
dence to warrant indictments is not
publicly known. Whether successful
or not in securing indictment and con-
victions it is probable that the investi-
CATION will have IA good effect on future
legislatures. If it does not stop bribery
it will have the effect of soaring up both
bribers and Il ose who take money. and
make them Tore quie, about their work.
The way has been opened and if future
legislators are as open in their work as
some of the past ones have been it Is
probable that grand iuries will investi-
gate matters before they get as old as
this one is, and before all interested
persons have time to forget" all about
what occurred. 1t is said that Attorney
General McKenna has given United
States Attorney Childers instructions to
probe the matter to the bottom"
