Trunk Lines of the Future.

Discussion regarding the future OF
trunk-line railroads in this country mas
gIowed with optimistic expectancy
since E. H. Harriman's recent publlc
assertion that we are entering upon an
era of unprecedented competitive rail-
road construction. Significant corro-
boration of Mr.. Harrinan's prophetic
statement is found in the semi-official
announcement that the steel mills have
on their books orders for more than
100000 tons of new rails for deliv-
| cry in 1907 To produce this great
quantity of rails will keep all of the
American steel mills busy for at least
eight months. Additional contracts
are pending, so that 1t is probable that
next year will be a record-breaker in
steel rail production.
The continued concentration of rail-
road control In a few hands expands
the range of possibilities in the matter
of greater combinations. One idea
that is growing into prominence is
that the real trunk-line of the future
must be a complete transcentinental
railroad, stretching from the Atlantic
to the Pacific oceans.
Contradicting a rumor that the
Pennsylvania railroad management
was planning to absorb the Atchison
system, A. J. Cassatt, president of the
first-named system, said short time
ago: There is no prospect that the
Pennsylvania lines will be extended
beyond the Mississippi river. We have
d natural and adequate field east
Of the Mississippi valley, and the plans
now unfolding for this field will give
the Pennsylvania management all that
it can attend to for many years to
come It Is a matter of newspaper
record that views similar to those ex-
pressed by President Cassatt were held
by his predecessors in office-Frank
Thomson and George B. Roberts Mr..
Huntington subsequently frankly in
dorsed Mr.. Roberts statement as to
the impracticability of operating a
single railroad system from ocean to
ocean.
Evidence is accommodating that the
Hartman interests are convinced that
new con s-governmental and
otherwise railroad indus
tries. have obliterated. the arbitrary
dividing line which George B. Roberts
and his contemporaries found In the
Mississippi valley If Mr. Hartman
really has an ambition to Link an east
ezs1 trunk line with the Union Pacif1c
he has had the forethought to secure
at least two strings to his bow. With
an Imminent possibility of his domi-
mating the Baltim ore & Ohio, his
voice is also potent in the Erie rail-
road, in whose board of directors he
has two representatives besides him
self.-Earl D. Berry, in Moody's Mag
