Believed Officials of Systems Are
Arranging Details of Sale
in New York.
sTlLWELL LINE COMPETITOR.
Branches Projected to Pacific
Coast Will Give Short Route
to American Islands and
Asiatic Ports.

While there is no official confirmation Of
the report that the Rock Island ia nesotiat-
ing for the purchase Of the Mexican Cen
trail. still the lack of official denial gives
the report considerabl credence.
While the Rock Island-Frisco deal was
on it was stated that the plans under con-
sideration comprised the purchase of the
Mexican Central.
Since the deal with the Frisco has
fallen through. it is believed that the sec
ondary consideration of the deal has now
become to be regarded as primary. and ev
cry effort will be made to acquire the Mexi-
can line.
Il is stated that A. A. Robinson. presi-
dent OF tie Mexican Central, is now in New
York in conference with officials OF the
Rock Island upon the terms Of sale.
The requirement of the Mexican Central
would place the Rock Island in the position
Of formidable competitor for StilwelNs

tenn.
The lines connect at FL Paso and extend
from this point to the capital Of Mexico,
while several feeder lines tap important ter
The Mexican Central already reaches
within few miles Of the Pacific coas.
and there is little to be done in case the
deal goes through for the Rock Island TO
get a Pacific outlet.
Branch lines have been started. One eN-
tension projected from Jiminez. II com
pleted. would place the Rock Island into
close competitive contact with the Stilweli
line.
1t is pointed out that by the acquisition
of the Mexican Central the Rock Island
would not only get direct route to the
Pacific Coast. which Will shorten the dis.
| tance to the Philippines and the principal
ports of Asia. but would acquire an es-
;ahlisheI2 traffic with Mexico.
