May PASS GALVESTON.
Rock Island Considering Sabine Pass
as a Gulf Terminal

The mana cement of the Rock Island
is considering the adyisa bility of eStab-
fishing a new port on the gulf coast
and it is therefore possible that the new
line which that company is projecting
from Fort Worth to the gulf will not
terminate at Galveston That a gulf
line will be built is a certainty. Vice
President and General Manager s B.
Hovey, of the Chicago, Rock Island s.
Texas, is authority for the statement
that contracts will soon be let for the
construction of that portion of the line
between Fort Worth and Dallas, and
that work will be begun as soon as pos
sible- Regarding the gulf terminus OF
the line Mr. Hovey said:
1t is by no means certain that the
road will be built into Galveston There
are other gulf points which offer in
Queen ents and it is possible that some
of them will be selected Several sur
veys have been made, and the matter
has not been settled beyond Dallas OF
course, Galveston is the best of the
ports available. but there are draw
backs to entering there
ports were under consideration but
mentioned Sa bine Pass, where the gov
eminent has been spending considerable
money IN securing a deep water har-
Dor. 1t is understood that if the Rock
Island officials can induce the govern
ment to make additional harbor i'm
provementS there Sabine Pass will be
the terminus

IT IS A POSSIBILITY.
Trains Can Run From Chicago to New
York in 18 Hours

Keeling off 4s1 miles in AGO minutes. the
Twentieth Century Limited on the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern road Saturday
smashed records for fast running on that
system and verified assertions made by Of
hcials that 16-hour schedule could If
necessary. be maintained between Chicago
and New York The train, 40 miles west
of Buffalo, two hours and twenty
eight minutes behind its schedule AMI
then it was that the engineers were given
a clear track and ordered to make their
best time over the various divisions
The train covered the 1s4 miles between
Brockton and Cleveland in 131 minutes.
From Cleveland to Toledo pushed along
over the 113 miles at some points a
speed reaching go miles an hour, covering
the distance in 103 minutes. The to
Elkhart, Ind. 133 miles, was covered in liz
minutes
The run into Chicago from Elkhart was
slower on account of the necessity OF
slowing down while passing through three
towns where the speed of trains is limited
by ordinance Slow downs were also neceS-
sary for the IA railroad grade crossings in
Chicago Despite these delays the 101 miles
wa. covered in Ill minutes and the train
which was due in the city at 9.45 a m,
arrived at the Grand Central passenger

MooRES STILL BUYING.
Making a Determined Effort to Get
Control of the Northwestern

Chicago. July 1.-THE Moores are re-
ported to have determined to secure
representation on the directorate of the
Chicago & Northwestern if they do
not ultimately secure control of the
property Ever since the annual meet
ing of the stockholders and the failure
of the Moores to get a voice in the man
agement of the line. they are said to
have been buying stock in the open
market. 1t is said that at the present
tine the A1oores own almost as much
stock in the road as the Vanderbilts.
If this is true they have added large
block to their holdings since the annual
meeting.
At the time of the annual election
the Moores owned SO per cent of the
stock The holdings Of the westerners
are now estimated to be at least 40
per cent of the total issue, as it is said
they have added over 5000 shares to
their holdings in the last few days

Long Santa Fs Freight Train.

The Sterling Bulletin says: Thurs
day morning an eastbound freight took
the siding here There were so cars in
the train and it contained 1900, 900
pounds of freight 1t was hauled by one
of the Santa Fe big engines. Counting
so bushels of wheat as a two-horse load,
or in other words 5000 pounds to a
team of two horses, this train equaIed
1888 teams. This train will require
about Il hours to take the freight to
Kansas City. whereas the teams would
require ten days of ten hours each. a
total time of 240 hours each Allowing
80 feet to a team. these teams would
make a procession of over eight miles
in length and would require 1,533 driv-
erS and 1856 horses 1t is necessary to
make these comparisons some times, in
order to understand the advantages we
are enjoying
