The Southern Pacific company has
completed negotiations to acquire the
properties of the Ell Paso and South
western railroad company and sub
salaries, it has been announced by
William Sproule, president Of the
Southern Pacific.
Actual acquisition of the Ell Paso
and Southwestern by the larger sys-
tenn will mean the construction of

double track through the larger part
of the territory traversed by the
Southern Pacific in the state.
The new line will leave the pres
ent Southern Pacific main line at or
near Picacho, IS miles west Of Tue
son, and will proceed along the San

ter the Casa Grande valley. Cross
ing the ella river it will parallel that
stream through the Chandler section
of the Salt River valley, connecting
WITH DrdnCn lines OL LHe ArlZOIld
Eastern railroad, which is also a
Southern Pacific subsidiary.
The Arizona Eastern will be re-
constructed and will be used through
Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe as part of
the new main line, to its western
terminus at Hassayampa. From Has
sayampa the new line will be con-
structed southwesterly until it forms
a junction with the Southern Pacific
near Dome, % miles east of Yuma.
The new line from Pichacho to
Chandler will include a branch line
to Florence.
The completed plan will give a
double track from Ell Paso to Dome.
The new construction will be under
taken in the name of the Arizona
Eastern railroad, and will begin at
once The double tracking from Ell
Paso to Yuma is expected to take
two years Branch line communica-
ton will be provided for all of the
great agricultural, livestock and min
ing sections of southern Arizona and
