RumOr has It that the Rock Island is
on a deal for the Pere Marquette rail-
road. The Frisco and SeabOard Air
lines interests are taking hand in the
business, which puts the appearance of
fact under TumOr. InasmuCh as the Q.
r l. & P. people own the St. Louis
and San Francisco, and also a large
share of the Seaboard Air line, It is
thought possible that the organization
of this new middle west trunk line, Of
which the Pere Marquette is the back
bone, may be part of. the extensive
scheme of railroad consolidation planned
by the MOOre's, D. g. Reid and W B.
Leeds.
