n every respect the calendar year

Items of Interest About Differ
emf Employees.

The declaration made by President
George Gould in the annual report of the
Missouri Pacific that the company had
largely Increased its holdings of Wabash
securities, has caused considerable talk
in railroad and fnancitl circles. 1t is
the prevailing opinion that the purchase
of additional Wabash stock means that
the Missouri Poetic will be used as a
holding company and that the controlling
interest in all of the Gould roads event.
ually is to be lodged in the treasury Of
the Missouri Pacific The stock. it is
said, Will be acquired by purchase and by
the exchange of securities. It was point
ed out that the Missouri Pacific already
holds absolute control of the Iron Noun
tain, Texas and Pacific, Denver and Rio
Grande. and the Rio Grande Western. BY
adding to its holdings majority of the
Wabash stock it now practically con-
trolls that company
AS a result the Missouri Pacific now
controls a system extending from Salt
Lake City to Pittsburg. 1t would not be
Il difficult tack for the Gould interests to
build to the Pacific from Pittsburg to the
Atlantic coast, thus creating a line. con-
trolled by the Missouri Pacific, extending
across the continent. The creation of a
transcontinentaI line is said to have been
the life ambition Of Jay Gould and it now
appears as if this ambition would be re-
allied by his son and heir George, Gould.
