Chicago, Nov. 2O.-Rapid progress is
being made on the new extension of
the Rock Island to FL Paso, where con-

Pacific and Mexican and Central rail
roads. The Rock Island people expect
that the road will be ready for opera
ton by next August or September.
General Manager Parker of the Rock
Island is now on tour of inspection
over the surveyed line of the proposed
extension from Liberal. KS, to a con
nection with the FL Paso and North
eastern at Clayton, \. NJ. The Rock
Island has acquired control of the FL
Paso and Northeastern, which, togeth-
er with the extension from Liberal,
will complete the new through line
from Chicago to Ell Paso. This will
give the Rock Island a transcontinental
line in connection with the Southern
Pacific
