The new system will in the matter of
local paying tonnage possess perhaps
greater advantages than any north and

The southern division reaches the yellow

A spur line from the division to reach the
Kirby lumber limits will still further
swell the volume of lumber tonnage NOV

nature Of the system therefore assures
heavy local tonnage in both directions.
In addition, the, road will have Rock
Island feeders from the twin cities and
Iowa at Chicago, from Kansas City and
southwest at st. Louis, and from the coal
and timber belt, along the lines Of Choc-
taw at Memphis. At the latter point it
will also receive north and south bound
tonnage from the Birmingham and Kansas

Special to The Journal.
New York, July IA study of the pro-
posed new system that Is to be created
out of the component parts Of the present
st. Louis & San Francisco system leads
to the conclusion that the traffic posi-
bilities of such a road as that proposed
would compare favorably with the posi-
bililties of any other road that now
traverses the Mississippi valley.
The roads that will be included in the
new north and south trunk lines are Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois, ST. Louis, Mem
phis & Southwestern, the Houck roads
and the two branches Of the new Frisco
line from Memphis to New Orleans and
from some point on the route to Calves
ton, thru the Kirby lumber limits. The Sc
curities Of these lines as they exist to-day
will. in part, be refunded thru the issue Of
a blanket mortgage covering all the prop
critics of all the roads included in the new
system.
The purpose of the change is the eco
nomical operation of the north aind south
trunk line from Chicago to the two gulf
ports in direct competition with Illinois

posed of Wabash and the new river di-
