THE ROCK ISLAND.ERlSCO MAKES
A DEAL FOR A LINE TO
THAT CITY.

and Gould Lines From

New York. July 24.-Cont. ary to the
recently published statement that the
St. Louis and San Francisco railroad
would build an independent line down
the west bank Of the Mississippi river
from Memphis to New Orleans, the

and the Illinois Central Which will

trance to New Urleans with the con-
struction of scarcely mile Of track,
has been accepted by the controlling
interests in the railroads interested
Formal ratification by the words of dl
rectors and the execution of the nee
essary legal papers alone emain in
order to make the contract binding.
This agreement was first suggested
by Mr.. Gould when it became appar-
ont that the Frisco was determined to
each New Orleans.
Associated with the Rock Island
Frisco system in the Mississippi track
age arrangement are the Gould lines,
the Illinois Central and the South
ern. The agreement. the life of which
is 100 wears. admits the Rock Island
Frisco system to virtual partnership
in those portions of the Texas and
Pacific and the Iron Mountain be-
tween Memphis and Baton Rouge.
1t guarantees to the Gould system
the local traffic, while it supplies
gulf port for the big inland system.
From Baton Rouge to New O:leans

minals in New Orleans, which will
