THREE WESTERN
ROADS COMBINE
MISSOURI PACIFIC, WESTERN PA

GRANDE MERGE.
EFFECTIVE ON OCTOBER 18TH
Joint Debts to De Assumed by New
Management-Two Roads Re-
Gently From Hands Of
Receivers.

St. Louis, Mo.-That the Missouri
Pacific, the Western Pacific and the
Denver & Rio Grande railroads, three
OF the largest systems in the West,
will be merged October 16, was an.
nounced
The actual merging of the roads
will ocur in Denver.
Officials here Of the Missouri Paci
fic refused either to affirm or deny
the reported merger, but it was said
from authoritative sources in Denver
that the consolidation agreement had
already been drawn up and only the
formality Of the union is now neces-
sary.
Until two years ago these three rail
roads were linked most as closely as
rumors now have 1t they are to be
after October 16. At the time Of the
Missouri Pacific receivership the So
called merger then in effect was dis.
continued.
II is said the merger will ocur on
the date of the annual meeting of the
Denver & Rio Grande stockholders.
The $3S,000,000 debt of this road.
Occasioned by its guarantee Of the
Western Pacific's bonded debt, was
the factor which forced the rearrange.

Since the Missouri Pacific receiver
ship and the breaking off of relations
between these three systems, several
suits have been instituted against the
Rio Grande. Judgment was obtained
in one instance for $3S,OOO.OOO on the
Western Pacific guaranty.
Rumor has it this debt will be as
sumed by the joint management to be
created. The Western Pacific only re-

Books in Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro-
auctions to its credit in prose as well
as poetry. In his prison at Athens,
Socrates completed his great argument
for immortality; in a Roman dungeon
Calico made some of his greatest dfy-
coveries. In his prison In Wartburg
castle Luther translated the New Test
ament into the German language. Dur
ing his twelve years In Bedford Jail
Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream
Of the Pilgrims Progress" Sir Wal
ter Raleigh wrote his fragmentary
history of the world to beguile the long
years of his Imprisonment in the
Tower Of London. Much of the New
Testament also is prison literature.
Some Of the finest of the epistles Of
st. Paul were written during his i'm
prisonment at Rome. and the Book Of
the Revelation of st. John was writ
ten while he was an exile on the island
prison of Patmos.-London Chronicle.
