SHORTEST ROUTE BETWEEN LAKES ERIE AND
MICHIGAN SOON TO BE COMPLETED.
Before November l the Wabash Railroad will
have finished it's proposed line from point near
Toledo, Ohio. to Montpelier. Ohio. distance or
ifty-seven miles This will give the company the
shortest route between Toledo and Chicago. that is
between Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. Entrance
to Chicago is gained over the Chicago and West
Indiana Railroad. The sudden appreciation of
this activity on the part of the Wabash manage

tuted fully one-half of the bond market the price
mon and preferred stocks also advanced with
strength.
Reports OF an increase of harmony between the
Goulds and Pennsylvania Railroad interests with
regard to the extension of the Wabash into Pitts
burg were again revived. 1t was said on excellent
authority that practically all obstacles to the en-
trance of the Wabash road into Pittsburg had been
removed. The engineering plans for this work
are ready and contracts for many important pieces
of work have already been signed.
1t is highly probable that the Wabash road will
soon acquire the Omaha and st. Louis Railroad.
which runs between Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Pat
tonsburg Mo. a distance OF 145 miles. The latter
road has been in the hands of a receiver since
March. 1900. This acquisition, for which II Is SAID
the Wabash will issue SS,500000 of 31z per cent first
mortgage bonds. to be exchanged for the present
Omaha and st. Louis bonds. will give the Wabash
an entrance into the profitable Omaha district.
