The extraordinary advance in the price
OF Rock Island on Saturday was atIrib-
uted by many railroad men and stock
operators to the belief that Rock Island
interests had become allied with the
Atchison and Southern Pacific capitalists
who are supposed to have obtained con-
troll of the Mexican Central Railroad The
Rock Island management has been seek
ing an outlet to New Mexico for some
time, and recently plans and surveys
have been made for an extension of the
Rock Island system To Ell Paso with a
view Of connecting with the Mexican
Central, which for several years has fur
nlshed a Mexican outlet for the Atchison
and the Southern Pacific on equally ad-
VantageOus terms. The Mexican Govern
ment puts stringent restrictions on rail-
roads operated in that country which
makes il a matter Of serious considera-
ton for an American company to build
new railroad through Mexican territory
The Southern Pacific now practically
controls the Mexican International which
is the only Mexican railroad not subsi-
died by that Government. c. T. Hunt
lngtCns idea was TO have as complete
control Of his own property IN Mexico as
possible. An alliance between the Atchf-
son, the Southern Pacific and the Rock
Island in the matter Of Mexican facilities
would be valuable concession to Rock
Island interests. On the other hand
however, many conservative market
critics believe that the boom in Rock
Island was simply a manipulated one
and that the story Of a Rock Island
Atchison deal is entirely without founda-
ton
