From Denver News. October s
InfOrmateOn that the Rock Island was
about to build into Denver has been
given out 50 often that railroad men are
prone 20 discrsdit anything les than act
nal facts. Such facts became public
yesterday when It became known that
Rock Island influences were behind the
Colorado & Eastern applications for
franchises
The Rock Island Is merely after the
terminals and franchises. It probably
viii not use the right-Cf-way mapped out
by the Colorado & Eastern It IL bslieE-
Cd that within the next 50 days the Rock
Islands official announcement wiz be
made that it will build its own line into
Denver.
The policy Of expansion has been IN
vogue on the Rock Island for several
years, but during the last eight months
the management has amazed the fiBsnc-
ial world by the rapidity Of its expendi-
lures.
Eighty miles Of rails at most viii con-
meet Denver with the main line Of the
Rock Island. 1t is almost 90 miles 70
LimOn Junction, where the Rock Island
trains leave the main line to come 10
Denver over the Union Pacific. The
right-Of- way Of the Colorado & Eastern
connects with the main line Of the Rock
Island. a considerable distance east o.
LimOn, and at a point not more than 50
miles from Denver.
1t is believed, however, a considerably
shorter route has been found and that
the Rock Island viii build from its main
line at point about . miles east Of Ii
mon, saving nearly al this distance be
tween that point and Limon.
cit is inconceivsble. = said a railroad
official yesterday, that the Rock Island
will uss the leased line much logger.
The lease is for 90 years, but the Rock
Island has the privilege Of terminating
it at any time.
The Rock Island during the present
year has expanded At all Of its imPoT-
tsDt terminals It now has the largest
yards il Kansas City and the largest
shops in the world are now in process Of
construction by the Rock Island ct East
Moline, III. These shops alone viii cost
el5,OO0,OO0.
Another thing that makes me sbsO-
lutely certain the Rock Island will be IN
here IN y months is the plan that the
road has announced for passenger ser
vice next year. Both the Union Pacific
and the Rock Island expect TO run one
more train next year and they simply
cannot do 1t on that one track between
here aud LimOn, unless they are willing
to cripple their freight service.
"The new branch viii give the Rock
Island a short lioe both to Omaha and
Denver. This alone IS sufficient induce
ment TO build"

MAIL SERVICE CHANGED.

New Time Card on Rock Island bad for
GoOdIand-
The mail service for GoOnlaDd, which
for long time has been so efficient and
convenient, has suffered a change for
the worse by the operation Of the new
time card on the Rock Island which
went into effect Sunday. With the eX-
ceptiOn Of No. Al and -, and the local
passenger No. y and ., all the passen-
ger trains pass through here in the night.
That would not be objectionable If they
left Denver and Kansas City at sn hour so
that the daily papers could be carried
soon after they are printed. Formerly
the Kansas City and Topeka papers
brought in on Nos. 5 and 9, low come IN
on g and Al, al the way from eight to p
hours slower service than before. Pas
senger No. 9 leaves Kansas City before
the evening papers are out and hence
the news is stale when it reaches Good
land.
The Denver morning papers used 10 be
handled on No. 10, but that train nov
leaves there earlier than before and the
mail service is taken up by No. a later
in the day.
According to the present arrange
ment, Nos. Il and - do a general mail
carrying business. They make few
stops, but throw OF the mail and take II

Morris was employed on the night

signed to take effect November /. The
action caused much surprise in railroad
circles Mr.. GoOdnoE has held the Do
sitiOn only IS mouths. He was formerly
general superintendent Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, leaving that road
to accept the higher position offered him
by the Rock Island.
The exact reason Why Mr.. GOOdnoE
has severed so suddenly his connection
with the Rock Island are not obtainable
from Official sources It is learned, how
ever, from close friends OF Mr.. Goodnow
that he has encountered many obstacles

tons of the Rock Island. He was ex
Pected 70 operate the road as economic
ally, or even more so, than are the Bur
lingtOn, Milwaukee & St. Paul. and the
Northwestern He was not able to do
that. az the physical condition Of the
Rock Island was not up to the standard
Of these roads He lacked authority to
make such improvements as he consider
ed necessary for the economical opera
ton Of the road.
Finally the company, few weeks ago,
app tinted John r. Stevens, formerly
chief engineer and general manager OF
the Great Northern railway, as fourth
vice president and practically invested
him with the duties that really belong
to the general manager. Under these
circumstances, Mr.. GOOdnow felt he
could not consistently hold the position

TO REBUILD OLD ROUND HOUSE

Present Structure Too Small for the Big
EnEines-1IoTe stalls TO Be Added.
Clearing the ground for the erection
Of new and larger round house has
commenced.
The present structure contains %
stalls, ten Of which were built IN 1855
and the others added a few years laJer.
It is the old round house that viii be re-
built, and ten more stalls will be added,
making 80 stalls when completed. The
old structure Is TOO small in dimentions
to accommodate the larger type Of loco
motives nov used on this division, and
moreover, it does not contain a sufficient
number Of stalls for every day need. On
account eff the meager proportions Of the
old building, three large gaps have been
broken in the back wall recently in
putting engines in the house, and none
OF them have been repaired. The build
ing is otherwise IN a dilapidated con
dition.
Tuesday the yard section gang began
clearing the ground west Of the round
house, and shaving on the sod and level
ing the ground. Twenty feet will be
taken of the old round house area on
tie southeast and 80 feet viii be added.
The dOorways viii be enlarged and the
whole building reconstructed on a plan
calculated to accommodate the largest
locomotives. The brick work viii be
started soon and rushed TO completion
before cold weather sets in.
The arc of the circle will also be ex-
tended. This is one Of the improvements
that this paper has frequently reported
would be made. A larger and more
sanitary round house has been needed
here for long time, and the men who
have to work in it viii be better protect
ed from a surplus of smoke and water.
