FRISCO SYSTEM EXTENSION.
St. Louis, Memphis and Southeastern
Railway Absorbed by St. Louis
and San Francisco—Outlet to
Atlantic Coast%ioiy Desir
ed.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 14.—When the
announcement was made during the
summer ot the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco Railroad Company quietly pur
chasing the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
. Railroad, there were numerous con
jectures as to its meaning. The two
corporations having no physical con
nection in this city, the general public
apparently did not consider its great
value as a connection in handling
traffic to and from the Southeastern
territory, as well as Arkansas and
Southeast Missouri.
It now develops that the Frisco was
looking forward to greatly strength
ening its position, and it is now the
owner of the St. Louis & Gulf Railway
lines, extending south of Cape Girar
deau, through the St. Francis basin,
about 250 miles. The Frisco has also
purchased the St. Louis, Memphis &
Southeastern Railroad, a line extend
ing south from St. Louis on the west
side of the Mississippi river, about 250
miles of which south of Cape Girar
deau in southeast Missouri and Ar
kansas, is now in operation. The por
tion of about 180 miles between Cape
Girardeau and St. Louis is now under
construction, and will probably be
completed within the next six months,
thus furnishing the Frisco a water
level line from St. Louis to Memphis.
DEVELOPING TERRITORY.
This line, in connection with the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois at Cape
Girardeau, giveB lines of low grades
from both St Louis and Chicago to
Memphis and the southeast to within
400 miles of New Orleans. This line
benefits n ot only the Fris co, but the
rich country of southeast Missouri and
North Arkansas will also develop
much more rapidly after that country
is traversed by a trunk line, as its
present track of transportation fa
cilities prevents the remarkable fer
tility and many recources of that
country from becoming known to the
outside world, which will not be the
case, however, after the completion
of the road through that country,
putting it in touch with St. Louis,
Chicago and other important cities of
the country.
There is now little doubt that the
Frisco in strengthening its St. Louis
and Memphis and Southeastern road
is laying its plans for reaching the
Atlantic coast at Savannah via Birm
ingham. The expansion of its south
eastern system will give it valuable
connections as well as a tide water
jutlet.
Regarding the St. Louis-Chicago
line of the Frisco, which has been dis
cussed, the location of this line has
not been fully decided upon, but the
distance will be about the same as ex
isting lines between the two cities.
The report of this construction cannot
be confirmed, but it is generally ac
cepted as an assured fact. The Frisco
management, whose watchword is
“motion makes money,” will under
its arrangement with the Big Four,
have a double track between St. Louis
and Chicago via Pana, and will use
the Eastern Illinois route beyond
Shelbyville. Fast service day and
night will be established over the new
line between St. Louis and Chicago
before many months.
At a special meeting held here
Thursday, B. F. Yoakum was elected
president, and K. L. Winchell vice
president of the Memphis and South
eastern. No' other changes will be
made at this time, and everything will
continue as at present.
MAGAZINE THIRTY YEARS OLD.
The Christmas (December) Number
of the Delineator is also the thirtieth
anniversary nupaber. To do justice
to this number, which for beauty and
utility touches the highest mark, it
would be necessary to print the entire
list of contents. It is sufficient tc
Btate that that in it the best modern
writers and artists are generously
represented. The book contains ovei
230 pages, with 34 full-page illustra
tions, of which 20 are in two or more
colors. The magnitude of this De
cember number, for which 728 tons ol
paper and six tons of ink have beer
used, may be understood from the fact
that 91 presses running 14 hours a
day, have been required to print it;
the inlding alone of the edition ol
915,000 copies representing over 20,
000,000 sections which had to be
gathered individually by human
hands.
