southwestern extension to Ell PaSo
Tex. This line, in connection with the
Southern Pacific and the Mexican Cen
trail railroads, Will give the Rock
Island the shortest line both to South
ern California and the City of Mexico,
and make it a dangerous competitor of
the Santa F'e- 1t took just one year to
construct the 546 miles of the new ex-
tension from Liberal Kan to Ell Paso
Tex. For the purpose of complying
with the Texas law that every railroad
within that state shall have state oper-
at1ng headquarters and also for general
construction facilities and convenience,
the new road was placed under the
charters of five different railroad cor
poratlons, viz: The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific proper, the Chicago,
Rock Island & Mexico the Chicago
Rock Island & Ell Paso. the Rock Island
& Ell Paso. and the Ell Paso & North
eastern The road from Liberal to
Santa Rosa, N. NJ. a distance of 272
miles, was placed under direct Rock
Island construction, with J. H. Conlen,
vice president of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Mexico. as Chief Engineer
and General Manager while from San
Ia ROSA to Carrizozo, a distance of 130
miles, the construction work was given
TO the Ell Paso & Northeastern which
already had d constructed line from Ell
Paso to CarrIzOzo. The road from Lib

ROCK Island system that have been in

the Rock IsIand-E1 Paso line is the
new thirty-Tniie railroad which is to
develop the immense Dawson coal
fields, owned by the Rock Island on
the Beaubien and Miranda grant in the
northern part of Colfax county, N NJ
This road will leave the main Rock
Island rails at or near Liberal station,
twenty miles southwest of the Cana
dian river crossing, and run through
the New Mexican counties of San Mi
guel, Mora and Colfax- This branch
will be completed by May Is, 1902 The
coal is to feed the southeastern por-
ton OF the Rock Is1and-EI Paso line
and probably will largely supply the
Southern Pacific railroad in addition
to heavy domestic custom in that
section OF the country. The compile
ton of the FL Paso line will give the
Rock Island route of 222 miles short
er between Kansas City and Ell Paso
than that of the Santa Fe between the
same points, together with a saving
of fifteen hours of time, the latter fact
being largely due to the favorable
alignment and maximum 1 per cent
grade of the new Rock Island line In
connection with the Southern Pacific
the Rock Island Will have a shorter
line from Chicago to Los Angeles than
will the Santa Fe. The construction
cost of the Rock Island-E1 Paso line
Will approximate $1,000, 900, an average
