are there will be an announcement
shortly of the sale being consu1n-
mated.
The Midland Valley road is being
built by the same men who built the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf, recently
acquired by the Rock Island. The
road has been completed from Fort
Smith, Ark, to Tusla, and is now un-
der construction to Pawhuska, o. T.,
the capital of the Usage Nation, with
right of way purchased to Arkansas
City, and a survey into Wichita. The
line to Pawhuska will be completed by
not later than November 1st, possibly
sooner.
1t is said that President Ripley mas
made the owners of the Midland Val
ley a handsome offer, by which the
builders will get a profit of $40, 900
a mile on the property under construc.
ton, which is about 200 miles. 1t is
further stated that if the deal is con,
summated the road will not be built
further than Pawhuska.
The two roads now work in alb.
solute harmony, having terminal, traf-
fic and station arrangements here,

NO TRACKAGE AND
TRAFFIC ALLIANCE
Rock Island Has Made No
Agreement With
Santa Fe
RED BALL SYSTEM IS ADOPTED

The rumor that there was an lmpor-
tant trackage >and traffic alliance
pending between the Santa Fe and
the Rock Island which would give to
the former road an entrance into St.
Louis over the Rock Island tracks is
almost certain to be a mistake. 1t
was supposed that the Rock Island
would o o be running into st. Louis
over the Chicago & Atoms tracks
and having no further use for its own
line, would favor some kind of a traf-
fic agreement whereby the Santa Fe
could get into st. Louis. In return
for this concession the Santa Fe was
to give to the Rock Island the use
of its main tracks where desired be-
tween Kansas City and California.
The circumstances which gave rise to
the m were that President E. p.
Ripley, Vice President E. d. Kendrick
and other Santa Fe officials, in COM
pany with Vice President H. U. Nudge
and General Manager Dan E. Cain of
the Rock Island road, rode over the
Rock Islands Kansas City-St. Louis
line last week, and were thought to be
investigating the system along the
way.
Concerning the rumored deal with
the Santa Fe, General Manager Dan
E. Cain of the Rock Island, says $50
far as | know, there has been no traf-
tic or trackage agreement with the
Santa Fe that would provide for that
road using the Rock Islands tracks
to st. Louis. That trip which Mr..
Ripley and Mr.. Kendrick made over
the Rock Island from st. Louis was
nothing more than a pleasure trip owe
the system. Mr.. Ripley happened to
be in St. Louis at the anne time as
Mr.. Nudge, and as he was going west
Mr.. Nudge invited him 10 make the
trip over the Rock Island. 1t was a
mere coincidence that all the officials
met at that time. Mr.. Nudge invited
Mr.. Ripley some time ago to make a
trip OveT the system, and as they were
al! in St. Louis and going the same
way, | had the superintendent provide
a special car and we all came to Kan
sis City together. There was no sig,
n|ificance to the trip and no agree
ment of any soft was discussed nor
were any plans made 10 discuss any
property.
"As far as n negotiations 90 con-
corning the use of the Rock Islands
tracks | know nothing about it and !
don't think there is anything in the
story at all. There was no more sig,
nificance 10 Mr.. Ripley's going over
our road than if he had gone over the
Chicago & Alton or the Wabash. II
there were any plans pr agreements
being considered l probably would
nave heard of them before now, and
know of none"
Frank r. DOlan, general superin
tendent of the southwest district OF
the Rock Island, says that the new
system of handling freight which is
commonly known as the Red Ball sys
TEN, will be in operation by the 18th
of September. This is the system
which is ned on the Frisco and it has
worked very satisfactorily to the com
pany. The Harrington change will be
made about the LIST of September, anC
at that date the reports are TO be sem
to that place.
