GREATER MISSOURI PACIFIC.
Gould's Connection With Southern
Pacific Is Significant

New York, April 4.-The Mail and Ex-
press discussing Mr.. Gould's election to
the Southern Pacific board, says:
THE election of Mr.. Gould is probably
of mere significance from the point of
view Of possible developments in the
railway world than that of any of the
other directors His system is in
sense independent Of the Transcontinen-
tai lines, but in formulating what has
been termed the greater Missouri Pa
ciffc system it is believed he will make
an alliance with some of them. It is not
to be supposed from yesterdays develop
ments that the Missouri Pacific will in
the future use the Central Pacific from
Ogden to the coast. BY the acquisition
Of the Rio Grande Western and the Den
yer & Rio Grande it now has through
line from St. Louis to Ogden"
