Americas people discussed with 6
great deal of interest yesterday the
deal whereby the Rock Island System
gets control OF the Seaboard, and
while the effect cannot be determined,
the hope is expressed that Americas
will feel no i'll effects from this com
bine of the two great systems, the an
nouncement of which startled the
state.
Tt is merely for merging the traffic
benefits, il is believed, wherein the
! Rock Island gets port outlets via the
Seaboard, while the latter system gets
connections through the west.
Heretofore, both systems have been
bottled up to that extent, anyway.
One Of the voting trustees when
asked to state the real significance of
the deal, said that 1t meant "better
understanding among interests that
have at various times conficted.
The policy of the Seaboard line for 8
long time was one Of absolute indie
pGuuOuCC, So nuGu 50 a5 W MbAS AUsaU
times Inimioal to the interests of OPP
posing roa6s traversing adjacent terri
tory. Recent developments, it is
thought, will do away with such trou-
BILE in the future.
The most important point in the
agreement between the Seaboard and
the st. Louis and Frisco interests is
that it gives the latter road an outlet
to tidewater at six or seven important
ports. These include Norfolk, Will
mington, Savannah, Charleston, Fer
nandina, Jacksonville and ST. Angus,

The combined system OF Rock Island,
Frisco and Seaboard roads covers
Is, 486 miles, making the new combi-
nation control the largest mileage of
an system in America and consequent
| ly of the whole world.
