ROCK ISLANDS Ell PAso LINE.
New and Direct International Route
Will Be Established.

Tucumcari, N. NJ, March THAT
the Rock Island will build its own line
into Ell PaSo was intimated by H U.
Nudge, president of mat road, when
here recently His assurance to this
effect has aroused much interest on
the part of the people of the interven-
ing territory. 1t is stated that the
present arrangement by which the
PaSo & Northeastern between Tucum-
carl and Ell Paso is unsatisfactory in
several respects. The distance by that
route is 3S1 miles. 1t is claimed that
by building IFS own line between Tu-
cumcari and FL PaSO via Roswell, the
distance can be reduced to about 270
miles. I nadGition to shortening the
mileage a lower grade route can be
obtained.
Another phase of the situation is the
affiliated interest that now exists be-
tween the Rock Island and the Mexico
Northwestern railroad. The latter line
runs from Ell Paso southwest to Ter
razas, Mexico, and is now being ex-
tended from the latter terminal toward
the Pacific coast of that country. En-
braced in the Mexico Northwestern
system is also the former Chihuahua
& Pacific, that runs west from Chihpa-
hua to TemOsachic, and the Sierra
Madre & Pacific, that runs between
Temosachic and the new American
town of MADEIRA. The Ell Paso-Ter-
razas line is also being connected up
with the other parts of the system.
The recent purchase of an interest in
the Rock Island by the British synd1-
cate, headed by DR.. F. S. Pearson,
which is also in control of the Mexico
Northwestern makes the two railway
systems closely related. With the COM
pletion of the extension of the Mexico
Northwestern to the Port of Agia-
bampo on the Pacific coast and the
building of the Rock Islands line into
Ell Paso. A new and direct international
and partly tranScontlnental line Will
be estab1ishe1 i.
The Ell Paso & Northeastern was
formerly owned by the Rock Island,
but was sold to the Phelps-Dodge in
terests several years ago, in order that
the latter might have it's own line to
the Dawson coal fields of New Mexico.
The cutoff line that is being built by
the Rock Island between Amarillo,
Texas, and Tucumcari is practically
finished.

Says latest Report of American Rail-
way Association

Chicago, March IA further in
crease in demand for railroad equip
ment is denoted by the latest car ser
vice report or the American Railway
data down to February 16. This bull
letin shows a decrease in the surplus
of 6,OS7 cars. while the shortage re-
ported increased by 1879 cars. The
decrease in surplus is principally in
box cars, while more than half of the
increase in shortage is made up of
coal cars.
The demand for the latter class of
equipment, says the bulletin, has been
very active, weather conditions and
COMPOSITIONS attributable thereto having
retarded the movement to such an ex-
tent as seriously to affect car supply.
The principal surpluses are still in the
western and northwestern portions of
the country, while the. eastern, middle
and southern territories report the
large car shortages.
