ROCK ISLAND 10 COAST.
Looks as Though 1t VIII Take Over
Fl Paso & Southwestern.

Douglas, Ariz, June 26-The FL
Paso & Southwestern railroad which is
now closely affiliated with the Rock
Island and is generally looked upon in
the southwest as destined to pass into
full control of the Rock Island Frisco
interests, IS preparing to make num-
Der of important extensions of main
and branch lines. reaching into terri
tory that the Southern Pacific is seek
ing to occupy exclusively The con-
test being waged in different localities
between the Southern Pacific and the
FL Paso & Southwestern interests pre-
liminary to actual construction work in
the enlargement of the two systems
has already reached an acute stage.
The FL PaSo & Southwestern runs
from FL Paso west to Benson and has
branch lines to Deming, Tombstone
and to points in Mexico. 1t was built
originally by Phelps, Dodge & Co. of
New York in order to afford a means
of transporting ore, fuel and supplies
for their mining and smelling indus
try at Bfsbee and Douglas The ex-
cessive freight rates charged by the
Southern Pacific was the direct cause
of the road being built. Since the
Rock Island became a factor in the
southwestern traffic and the report be
came current that it would use the FL
Paso & Southwestern as a link in
line which it would build to the Pa
cific coast, the Southern Pacific has
been exceedingly active in protecting
its own territory by planning the
building of branch lines. Notwith-
standing this energetic movement on
the part of the Southern Pacific, those
who are back of the Ell Paso & South
western have gone steadily ahead with
the work of making surveys and ar
ranging for the construction of addi-
tional lines Of that system.
A preliminary survey for the pro
posed extension of the Ell Paso and
Southwestern from Benson west to San
Diego, Cal, was made some time ago.
3. F. Yoakum and other representa-
tiVes of the Rock Island-Frisco inter
ests made a careful investigation of the
situation with the view to extending
that line to San Diego about two years
ago, and it is reported that ground for
the proposed terminals at that port
have been purchased and other pre-
liminary details Of the project ar
ranged.
