There are number of circumstances
that render this worthy of belief. In
the first place the appointment of H.

the territory now untouched by any

is no way in which the portion Of the
state of Illinois assigned to Mr.. Mack
can be better reached from the existing
lines of the Santa Fe than thru one

second place 1t is conceded at Peoria to

that can overcome the obstacles pre-

In the third place there are strong
reasons for believing that overtures
