given out that the amount of the new
stock to be used in the purchase of the
dictate would not exceed $4,000, 900 and
that the $50. 1000. coo balance would be
used from time to time in the acquisi-
ton of new properties which the cor
poration may desire to control
The scheme is to create a new Mis-
souri, Pacific systme by the adoption OF
financial plan that will overcome all
obstacles in the way of acquiring
branches and constructing connecting
links.
1t is said that the ambition of Mr.
Gould to control railway traffic in the
west may result in some lively rairoa 4
building in remote sections which give
promise of prosperous future. The
Gould syndicate is reported to have Sc
cured control of the Mexican Central,
and will connect it With the Denver &
Rio Grande by building line from
Santa Fe to Ell Paso. BY making this
connection. the Missouri Pacific will
penetrate the richest sections of New
and Old Mexico and secure lucrative
traffic from the surrounding territory
! The country through which this line is,
to be laid abounds with sheep and cattle
interests and in some sections cOnsid
cradle mining is being carried on. To
connect these two points will require
the laying of about $50 miles of road
In the enterprise. however, Gould will
encounter rhe Rock Island. which ha-
| been planning the extension Of it's line
flpm Liberal. Kansas, to El Paso. TIL
work OF the extension has been delayed
because the Rock Island could see no
necessity for immediate action. but now
that the Gould syndicate has made its
intentions known the Rock Island may
not delay much longer. but hasten to
head off the proposed Gould movement
Once under way, money will be freely
used to rush the work. especially by the
| Gould side. A large corps Of engineers
will accompany the Gould road builders:

engineers of the Rio Grande will be
