an unbroken line almost across the country. In addition to it's own mileage Missouri Pacific controls the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Central Branch railway, Texas and Pacific. Denver and Rio Grande, Rio Grande Western and a half interest in the Col orado Midland.
 Through the OWnership-o of these prop critics the western terminus of the Gould system reaches Fl PaSO. where close connection is made with the Mex ican Central the most important rail- road property in the republic of MeXi- co. A comparatively small extension from either this point, or from Ogden. Utah, and the Pacific coast will be reached.
 On the east the Wabash is the most important property. It is the owner ship of this company which renders possible the creation of a transcOnti- mental system. Chicago always has been looked upon as the dividing point of the eastern and western roads. This verbal but none the less generally understood agreement has always been respected by the roads occupying these two territories, and it has been recogniZ- ed that any attempt to cross this point would be looked upon as an invasion and would precipitate retaliatory steps and throw the entire railroad situation into confusion.
 The Wabash railroad, however, occu- pied the exceptional position of aIraa- dy possessing mileage to both the east and west of Chicago. It connects with the A1istsoUri Pacific system in St Lou is. From that point it mus east through Chicago to Buffalo. Owing to the fact that Wabash until recently mas been looked upon as q comparatively unimpcrtant railroad proposition, and Tn no position tC make any aggressive moves, it's possession of mileage in both eastern and western territory has been ovei looked and in no way affected the agreement between the other systems
 This view has proved a mistaken one glance at the map of the Gould roads will show that further developments are not only natural but essential to the maintenance of their position in the railroad world. With mileage extend- ing all the way from the Mexican bor- der to Buffalo, it would take only a comparatively small further extension to reach the Atlantic seaboard and un- der the Gould properties independent of their present connection and is in a position to control rates ever a larger territory than any other company con- trolled by q single interest in the entire country.
