GOULDS IN CONTROL.
Hold the Choctaw Line, Through
President Yoakum's BIunder.
BUILDING THIS WAY.

Announcements of changes in the
-ownership of western railroads are
coming thick and fast, says the Denver
Republican. Following the purchase
of the st. Joseph G. Grand Island by
the Hartman interests, Colorado &
Southern officials yesterday received
Information that the Choctaw, Okla
homa & Gulf railway, the southern
connection of the Colorado & Southern
from Texas to the southeast, has
passed into the hands of the Missouri
Pacific system, the Goulds having ac-
quired majority of the stock.
The statement comes from an au-
thoritative source in st. Louis and de-
tails are added that give it strong
air of truth. The struggle between the
big interests for the road has been
watched carefully in Denver, as any
change in the road-an important ter
ritory-means much to this city. The
Choctaw road furnishes another direct
outlet from Denver to the Mississippi
valley
1t connects with the Colorado &
Southern at Amarillo, Texas, and last
Tuesday that road received notice that
Tic lnllCb, Nhlth Aao
been under construction, would be
completed and opened April /. The
road will then be 9S3 miles in length,
of standard gauge, and owning 106 To-
comotives and 3,945 cars. 1t runs
through Little Rock, Ark, the Indian
Territory, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Francis |. Gowen is president and j. F..
Holden vice president and traffic man
ager, with headquarters at Philadel-
phia, Pa.
The ST. Louis & San Francisco road
has been after the Choctaw line and
the stock has been largely bought into.
AS the story comes to Denver, Presi-
dent Yoakum of the Frisco line made
mistake several days ago when d
conference had been arranged between
the Missouri Pacific people, also large
purchasers of stock, the Choctaw rep
resentatives and the Frisco people.
Mr.. Yoakum went to New York, where
he understood the meeting was to be
held, instead of TO Philadelphia The
Frisco interests were unprotected
and, its representatives having no au-
thority, the Gould interests bought the
road. When he learned of his mistake
President Yoakum found it too late.
