OTHERS TRIED SE.A-TO-SEA LINE
Gould and Hartman Attempted an
Ocean-tO- Ocean System.

New York, The collapse of a highly
speculative ocean-to-ocean railroad
project last week reminded Wall street
of the amount of imagination that mas
been expended upon that idea, and the
money that has been lost in its failure
to be realized
George ]. Gould was the first man
seriously to attempt the thing He Is
said to have inherited the notion from
his father. 1t was with an ocean-to-
ocean system in view that the disas-
trous Misunderstanding Terminal IN
dertaking was planned. The WABASH
was to be brought to Pittsburg over
the ACQUIRED Wheeling & Lake Erie,
and it was; then the Western Mary
land was bought as an outlet to east
ern tide water, and the Denver & Rlo
Grande at the same time began TO
build the Western Pacific westward
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco.
The link to connect the western
MARYLAND with the Gould system at
Pittsburg was never built. Before the
Western Pacific was finished control
of the Western Maryland was lost
through bankruptcy, and the Wabash
Pittsburg Terminal and wheeling d
Lake Erie were in receivership.
Mr. Hartman next took violently
| hold of the ocean-to-ocean idea, but,
though he dominated before his death
more properties than he needed for that
| purpose, no continuous system from
Atlantic to Pacific survived him. Prac-
teal railroad men have generally held
that it was vain thing, and unman-
ageable, because enough freight could
not be procured to run from ocean to
