THE HUNTINGTON GRANT.
Views Of Prominent Railroad Man on the
Subject.
GALVESTON WILL BE A LATERAL OUTLET.
VIII BE Used In Relieving Conges-
tions-Traffic VIII Not BE nj
verted from sIain Line.

A prominent railway man gave out YES
tcrday his views of the Huntington grant
at Galveston, which. 1t will be noted, agree
accurately with The Posts expressed
opinion of some days ago He said:
Mr. Huntington. for the Southern Pa
cifc company. is acting on a somewhat
similar plan to that some engineers have
advocated for relieving or avoiding over
flows OF the Mississippi river; that is, the
opening OF lateral streams, or drains TO
carry of the floods as they rise. In one
season of congested traffic, or quarantine,
at any point the company loses more
money than it will cost to provide large
facilities for such emergencies at every
lateral port within its reach and is a
good investment even though such lateral
ports are not made use of to any great
extent, except In case of such emergencies.
IF commerce on the great main artery
is congested, as II Is, more or less for a
time, at every season, or II the line Ia
temporarily broken by quarantine, then
Sabine Pass, Galveston and Arkansas Pass,
with the facilities provided by the com
pany. will readily relieve such conditions
/ and save the immense losses suffered by
the company in seasons past for want OF
such lateral outlets. One item of loss
alone will illustrate. Several years ago
there was blockade of cotton at New Or
leans. and the company had 10000 bales OF
cotton on side tracks at Algiers and near
by. and the insurance companies refused
to carry so great a risk.
While the Southern Pacific company Is
providing these safeguards at the several
places OFF its main line and will spend a
good deal of money at each place in doins
so. it must not be expected that tratn'
is to be diverted from the great main line
except in time of oongested or overflow
business, or in case of quarantine at an,
point"
