Rock Islands New Fast Train
From Chicago to Colorado.
Part Of a Plan to Get Summer
Tourist Business.
MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
Two and a Half Hours Shorter
Than Other Lines.
ID. L. Gallup Becomes Comp
troller of the Santa Fe.

The Rock Island has made another
move that will cause no little stir
among western passenger men. This is
the announcement that about June Is it
would put on new fast train between
Chicago and Denver and Colorado
Springs
Some weeks ago the Rock Island peo-
pie decided to begin again the cheap ex-
cursion rates to Colorado points, visited
largely by summer tourists. This cheap
rate was offered last summer and re-
suited in the Rock Island doing more
tourist business than any of the other
lines reaching those points. It was be-
gun perhaps much as an experiment, or
at least was considered such by many
of the roads; but it proved a valuable
one. When the Rock Island again this
spring announced. its intention OF selling
tickets each Tuesday from Missouri riv-
er points to Colorado common points,
this produced CONSERVATION among the
other roads The Burlington immedi-
ately decided to offer the same rare,
tickets to be on sale every day of the
week
The late announcement of the Rock
Island to put on a fast train west, and
its ability to land passengers in Col
orado quicker than the other lines, may
make still more trouble.
This move is notice to the other lines
that the Rock Island purposes getting
its proportion of the summer tourist
business to Colorado common points,
and it is a serious menace to some of
the other roads. because of the fact that
the Rock Island. having the shorter line
to Colorado Springs by nearly 80 miles.
can make the same time there as to
Denver. The two strongest competitors
of the Rock Island are compelled to get
to the springs through Denver, and are
thus placed at a disadvantage of two
hours and a half
1t is not unlikely that the new fast
train will cause a revival of the trouble
which occurred during the Worlds fair
year over fast train service to Denver
In that year the Rock Island put on a
train making the Denver-Chicago run
in p hours and As minutes, and the lead
was followed by two other lines After
a severe war the Rock Island abandon
ed its ''one night OUT train to Denver
and has since been making the run in
about SO hours Other lines have con-
tinued the fast service, despite the fact
that the winter business was done at a
loss.
The Rock Islands project Of running
cheap excursions to Colorado common
points, it is said, made this service still
more profitable, and accordingly when
the Rock Island announced cheap eX-
cursiOns for certain days this summer
the other lines retaIated with notice
that they would run cheap excursions
daily during the same period. The ac-
ton of the Rock Island in announcing
a train which will land passengers in
Colorado Springs at least two and one
half hours quicker than by present
schedules on other lines has caused no
little excitement
