Railroads Plan to Unite.

One of the largest and m ,st import
ant combinations effected in years is
said TO be under way between the i'm
terests owning the Rock Island and
che Hartman syndicate controlling
the Union and Sonthera Pacific sys-
TENS. 1t ia said that the Hartman
people have recently bought consider
able Rock Island stock, on the strength
of which, il is reported, securities of
the latter advanced yesterday 8 points.
Since the Rock Island began to OK.
tend toward California the Hartman
syndicate has been apprehensive of en-
croachment upon its Pacific coast ter
ritory.
The Hartman people, owning the
Southern Pacific, are attempting to
preserve the California to themselves.
They have been assisted by the Santa
fe, the only other rans-continental
line reaching that state.
HARTMAN PEOPLE ALARMED.
The threatened invasion of the ter
Iritory by the Rock Island alarmed the
Hartman people and it is SAID they
Immediately began to plan for either
an absorption of the Rock Island or
an arrangement that would fo1estall
further construction of the line to the
west.
California is now controlled by the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Re.
These roads are working under an
agreement, it is said, and without
further competition they could divide
the state and control all traffic without
loss of revenue from overcompetltion.
The Rock Island recently finished
its line to El Paso, Tex, where con-
nection is made with the Southern
Pacific for California.
If majority of the stock of the
Rock Island has not been bought by
the Hartman syndicate it is quite
certain that some strong agreement
has been entered into by these two
interests and the Santa Fe whereby
Rock Island will cease further opera
tions toward the coast, accepting in
stead connection with the Southern
Pacific that will mean the same re
suits.
ROADS THAT REACH STATE.
Northern and Central California is
served by the Northwestern and Union
and Southern Pacific from the central
states while the southern part of the
state is preempted by the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe
The Southern Pacific is handicapped
by not having route to southern
California from Chicago and the GEN.
trail district. Iti is just such route
that the Rock Islands new extension
will afford.
by many it is believed that the
change in stocks has reached point
where President Leeds of the Rock
Island will be elected to similar office
on one or more of the Hartman lines.
In addition to the work finished in
the southwest by the Rock Island this
company is said to be surveying from
Fort Worth to Port Arthur, Tex, q
distance of 300 miles, to secure an out
let to the Gulf of Mexico. Chicago

mously more onerous. Not long ago
the wife of a business man went to
California for stay of several months.
When making up list of the things
to be taken along she included Gala
lilly by which she set great store. Her
husband advised against this action.
but she replied: "Why. Henry, l never
thought so much of any other plant as
do of that Gala and know 1t would
be neglected if l left it behind. Be-
sides, 1T will be full of blossoms in q
little while and [ wouldn't for any,

the plant with her and the result may
be gathered from this extract from
the first letter her husband received:

court is that the cities where she
has used her Ratchet with such

pay the hotel men and saloon
keepers for the damage done to
their property; that because pro-
