SOUTHWEST ROAD
MERGER COMPLETE
Three Road Combination Has
600 Million Assets

New York, July "a Pt-Arrange-
ments for uniting the Kansas City
Southern, Missouri Kansas Texas
and st. Louis-S outhwestern railroads
into a new Southwestern system
with total assets of about sG00,000,-
600 and a combined mileage OF APP
proximately 5000 miles, are COM
pleted. An immediate application
will be made to the interstate COM
merce commission for authority to
bring the three roads together I'M
der the direction of L. f. Loree,
who has engineered the merger.
Final Approval
Final approval of the proposal
was voted by the directors of the
Kansas City Southern railway yes
terday, after the boards of the other
two roads had ratified the plan. It
is understood the three roads will
still retain their corporate identI-
ties, with Mr.. Loree in full control
through his position as chairman
of the major mpanies-the Kansas
City Southern and the katy.
Long in Process
The development of the Loree
system began to take shape more
than a year ago when the Kansas
City Southern acquired working
control of the katy. Another
link was added last fall when a
large stock interest in the Cotton
Belt" was purchased from the Rock
Island which had been blocked in
it's efforts to merge with this road.
Rival Missouri System
In the southwest, the new COM
bination will rival the Greater Mis-
souri, Pacific system, which recently
completed one of the largest mer-
gers in this section, and the pend
ing Frisco-Rock Island consolidation.
To a lesser extent it will also COM
pete with the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
systems which tap that territory.
Other Projects
L. F. Loree, sponsor for the new
merger, also had projected an am
DltlOuS COllSOlIuullOll III INC vast
where he plans to build a fifth trunk
line with the Delaware &Hudson
as nucIeum. This proposal would
involve the construction of an en-
tirely new stretch of railroad across
Pennsylvania, the probable addition
of the Wabash and one of the
smaller eastern coal roads such as
the Lehigh Valley. Application re-
Gently was made to lease the Buff
falo, Rochester and Pittsburgh as
the first step in the plan.
With the outline of the Loree
project in the southwest, three
major railroad consultations are
now pending, the other two being
the modified Nickel Plate plan and
the proposed union of the st. Louis
San Francisco and Rock Island
railroads.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
TO A TOM CAT.

If you could hear nightingale
Chant cstasies of spring.
doubt not you would wave your tail
And say: ''Now hear ME sing"
That voice, that floats my window
through
Sometimes the whole night long
Beyond ell question, seems to YOU
A masterpiece of song.
We're you to learn it drove me mad
Your dismal walls to hear,
You would not care, you'd think I had
No cultivated ear.
And if it give you pause at all
You'd say with unconcern
AS you resumed your caterwaul:
Wen, never mind; he'll learn
And after all, perhaps you're right,
Perhaps those sharps and flats
With which you pierce the calm of
night
Are song-to other cats.
Although their seeming discord rends
My nerves-what's that to you?
For everything, of course, depends
Upon the point of view
Were you to think your tones were bad
You would be crushed thereby.
You'd grow detected, wan and sad
And, maybe, droop and die.
1t makes life happier-truth to tell--
For me, old cat, and you
And everyone, that we think well
Of everything we do!
