Since the Erie became a Hartman
line the traffic situation between Chi
cago and New York has experienced q
radical change. AT one time the Erie
was content to protect its business,
though occasionally it broke through
procedures and disturbed harmony
Now, however. it has taken an ag-
gressive attitude and, though appar-
emily satisfied with the working ar
rangement with New York Central in
terests, the management has shown
that it will not tolerate imposition, and
any attempt to bottle up the line will
be followed with new construction

of a new outlet from Pittsburg, either

Salt Lake capitalists are said to be
building the Moapa Valley railroad,
which will connect the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road with the
Colorado river in northwestern Ari-

been already commenced. The first di-
vision of the projected road extends
from Moapa, New, on the main line of
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake road, down the Moapa valley
southeast to the Virgin river. Another
division will extend from that point
south to Rioville, on the Colorado
river
Midway between Moapa and the Vir-
