TWO NEW LINES.
Rock Island and Frisco Building from
st. Louis to Chicago.

st. Louis Oct. THE rival roads, Rock
Island and Frisco. will soon give St Louis
two new lines to Chicago. There is already
much evidence of great rivalry between
these southwestern lines and on the new
lines which each will build every effort

service.
With the advent of these roads into the
Chcago-St. Louis traffic win come faster
service and probably rivalry among the
many lines for popularity. The Illinois
Central, the Alton. the Wabash. the Frisco
and the Rock Island, with their connec-
tons east from Chicago, Toledo and Buff
falo, may bring into the eastern carrying
business the Grand Trunk one of the great
railways of Canada. That railroad is anx-
ious to secure part of the southwestern
business for the northwest
The Frisco will soon formally announce
the line of its proposed connection between
ST. Louis and the Chicago and Eastern

would leave to dividend on the preferred
stock $2,160000.
1T is estimated that this years croI,
of wheat. corn and oats win be ma

Rock Island felt the loss of the corn
crop last year very sensibly. The state
of efficiency on the line is indicated by
the fact that for last year expenditures

charged $3.50 for freight renewals, $S45
for Dassenge cars and $50 for freight
