CONSTRUCTION COST

Agreement With New Orleans
Line Much More Feasible.
ACT ESTABLISHES PRECEDENT.
Construction of Line to Connect
With the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois Will BE Pushed
Forward Rapidly.
ACT ESTABLISHES PRECEDENT.

Whatever may have been the motive that
actuated President Yoakum Ia open nego-
tiatious with the Illinois Central and other
New Orleans lines for joint trackage use
of terminals into the Crescent City, 1t Is he
lieyed that his predominant idea was to
avoid construction expense.
When the plans We're made by the Frisco
management for the construction OF 300
miles of road through Louisiana the cost Of
labor and road material was almost incom-
Tarably cheaper than AT present.
Because of this the project was decidedly
feasible and would pay even though there
vas considerable competition in the terri
tory.
But since the decision was reached and
the machinery of the law was started to
give the proper rights, the deal with the
Rock Island was almost carried through.
fell through. and finally consummated.
II is stated that when the FIRST negotia-
tons with the Moore brothers fell through
President Yoakum Immediately opened Ne
gotiations for joint use of New Orleans
terminals in order to make his line of more
value to the Rock Island in future negotia-
Yoakum has clearly demonstrated that.
while combination with the Rock Island
was beneficial TO both interests. the Frisco
was amply able 20 carry out its own
projects and attend to its own affairs with
out outside assistance.
The action of MIR. Yoakum in this matter
is regarded as the precedent of similar &C
lions which railway officials all over the
country will take in regard to extensions
not absolutely necessary. but which II was
proposed to build this year. other things
being equal.
At the same time the Frisco has purchased
extensive wharves and a large amount Of
land near New Orleans, which will be used
by the Southern lines as well as the Rock
Island
It is evidently considered of far greater
Importance that the connecting link between
the Frisco and the c. & E. l. should be built
without delay.
1t is stated that change OF contractors
has been made on this line and the work
will be pushed forward without further

CARS COST MORE THAN ENGINES.

HiEh-Price Locomotives Are Worth
About $4,000.
1t is not generally known that the cost
of Pullman car of the ordinary type Is
considerably greater than the highest-priced
locomotive.
The range of prices on locomotive is
from $4,000 to $1,000. while the ordinary
Pullman sleeper rarely costs less than 500
600, and in many instances much more.
Especially is this true of the private cars,
which all the roads own In co ,iderable
of these cars cost from 10000 to s60.00O and
instances are on record where the cost of
these travelling palaces Is far in excess of
the latter amount.
