ROCK ISLAND TO THE COAST
El Paso and Southwestern Extending
Getting Into Southern Pacific
Territory

Wichita, June, 20: The EIPas0
and Southwestern railroad, now
closely affiliated with the Rock
Island, and generally looked upon
in the southwest as destined to pass
into full control of the Rock Is
land Frisco interests. is preparing
TO make a number Of important ex-
tensions Of main and branch lines,
reaching the territory that the
Southern Pacihc is now occupying
exclusively.
The contest being waged in diff
ferent localities between the South
ern Pacific and the FL Paso and
Southwestern interests preliminary
to actual construction work in the
enlargement of the two systems
has already reached an acute stage.
The FL Paso aud Southwestern
runs from El-Paso west to Benson
and has branch lines to Deming
Tombstone and to points in Mexi-
co. It was bnilt originally by
Phelps, Dodge & Co., Of New
York, in order to afford means of
Transporting ore, fuel and supplies
for their mining and smelter indus
try al Bisbee ana Douglas. The
excessive freight rates charged by
the Southern Pacific was the direct
cause of the road being built. Since
the Rock Island became factor in
the southwestern traffic and the re-
port became current that it woulf
use the FL Paso and Southwestern
as link in a Line which il would
build to the Pacific coast, the
Southern Pacific has been exceed
ihgly active in protecting its own
territory by planning the building
of branch lines. Notwithstanding
this energetic movement on the
part of the Southern Pacific, those
who are back of the FL Paso and
i Southwestern have gone steadily
ahead with the work OF making
surveys and arranging TO. the con-
struction of additional lines of that
system.

HOCKEY.
P%rinceton's Team Beaten Easily by the
Hockey Club.

Primo eton's hockey team played q practice
game with the Hockey Club OF New York
last night at the St. Nicholas Skating Rink.
The game was a snappy one. but Princeton
was wofully weak at goal and lacked team
work. The score was 2 to l In favor OF the
Hockey Club. which compares unfavorably
with the 9 10 2 scored by the Hockey Club
in a game with Yale on Tuesday. The Prince
ton players put lots Of snap into the game.
but when a player passed the puck across the
ring IL invariably went to a Hockey CUB
man. the Princeton men not playing their
wings properly. This Is an error that may be
corrected before the tournam ent begins.
The Hockey Club scored three lines in
at all. In the second half some changes
were made in the Hockey Club team. .Regans-
burg took Ellison's place at goal and Crona1
and Gunther went on In place Of Forrest and
Hazelton in the line, The Hockey Cub
players tailed three times more and Ievis
scored once for Princeton. The other. goal
for the winning team was made by Chislett,
the Princeton goal. He had stopped q hard
shot by Bryan, but the puck bounded into
the net before Il could be turned away, To-
night Princeton will play again the team
