Plan a Rail Empire.
From the Boston News

J
Rivaled only by Harriman's dream Of
rail empire. the greatest railway sys-
TEN the world has ever known under
private ownership and control will come
into existence with the proposed Energ-
Ing of the gigantic Southern Pacific
lines with the great Rock Island system
and, the scenic Ell Paso & Southwestern.
Announcement of the proposed merger
plans was made recently by N. l.. Am
ster of Boston, an official of the Chi
cago Rock Island & Pacific.
Should the scheme be placed in ef-
feet, the mileage of the new unified
system would be sufficient to construct
three double tracked lines between New
York and San Francisco. were it posi-
BILE to lay straight. level line between
these two points, and still have enough
left over to construct similar track
between Chicago and New Orleans. Or,
using single rail. the Eackage would
nearly encircle the earth twice, follow
Ing the line Of the equator.
In the statement of Mr.. Amster it was
. Indicated that the merger was planned
under the provisions of the Esch- Cum
minis rail act, which permits merging
interests as long as the system remains
competitive with other roads. Although
the details of the proposed plan have
not been publicly announced it Is under
stood that the three lines included will
10 given SlOGh III AtW SyStcIn III
proportion to their valuations. This
plan would give the Southern Pacific
controlling interest in the new system.
In addition to banding together the
greatest system the world has evar
known the merger would also connect
the two lines which have received the
greatest newspaper publicity, adverse
and otherwise, of any in the United
States in the last Is or 80 years. with
the possible exception OF the New York.
New Haven e. Hartford.
AT first the Rock Island gained ma
tional recognition for the rapidity with
which it expanded in the early years of
the Twentieth century. Everywhere 1t
was hailed as the greatest system of the
age. It's progress was considered al
most miraculous. Newspapers all over
the country devoted columns to its
growth and the men behind 1t. Then
came a slump. Stocks in the road
dropped from $500 share to 500. Ugly
. rumors arose. An investigation was
made, and again the system came in
for great amount Of publicity. THE
RocK Island Mystery still remains
fresh In the minds of many people to-
day. The history of the Southern Pa
cific almost parallels that Of the Rock
Island. 1t was by the fight made by
Hiram Johnson, then young attorney
against the alleged practices of the road
in California that the attention of the
nation was focusrd on the road and the
young prosecutor: and his victory in the
fight made johnson a national figure.

The west wind wanders clnmsiy;
Old broken hinges wall and creak
Like motives In threnody:
And from the wall days dying CLEAN

The beams are worn and withered
And fallen tiles have left a gap;
