1t is the prevailing opinion among
railroad men and financiers that the
Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande
and Western Pacific ultimately will be
consolidated into single system, with
one operating head and headquarters.
The Missouri Pacific now exercises a
strong influence over both the other
roads through it's large stock owner
ship in the Denver & Rio Grande, and
that roads large stock and bond own
ership will have to be approved by
the stockholders of each, but the fact
that the Missouri Pacific is so large
factor in the stock control of the d.
q R. G. will make this step compara-
lively easy.
AS president of the ID. e. +. G.,
Bush will have much to do with the
management of the Western Pacific,
since that road is only continuation
of the d. & R. G. to the Pacific coast
and is supported largely by busines
turned over to it by the d. G. r. >
f. T. Jeffery is still president of this
road, but he will soon retire from
Inc position and Bush will be made
the executive head of all three roads
The retirement of George Gould
from the active management of the
so-called Gould roads has long been
regarded as foregone conclusion
among persons familiar with the diff
ficulties experienced by the Goulds in
financing the Western Pacific and
meeting various obligations on the
d. g. R. G. The men who have sup
piled this money-John ID. Rockefel-
Ter, the Deutsche bank and associated
interests-have decreed that Gould
must step out as the directing head
Of the roads. When their wishes in
this regard are fully complied with
there is to be plenty of money avail
able for making the d. & r. G. a
frst-class railroad property
