ROCKEFELLER’S VISIT SOUTH.
Little Rock, March 4. John D.

cent a gallon, was in Little Rock from
2:20 to 4:20 p. m. Tuesday, accom

met at the depot by General Superin
tendent W. T. Tyler, who took them
from the Union depot to the Choctaw
depot by Fifteenth and East Mark
ham-street cars. Spending a few min
utes there, they returned and got off
the car at Fifth and Main streets.

sights, returned to the Union depot,
and at 4:20 departed for St. Louis.
ROCK ISLAND’S VAST SYSTEM.
The Rock Island has become one of
the units around which gradually are
concentrating the railroad systems of
the country. They are the Vander
bilt group, the Gould group, the Penn
sylvania group, the Harrimau group
and now the Rock Island. With the
St. Louis & San Francisco, the Rock
Island will control well over 14,000
miles of railway, second ouly in ex
tent to the Harriman combination of
Union and Southern Pacific. The
Moore-Leeds interests dominate the
Rock Island, which already reaches
from Chicago to Minneapolis, Kansas
City, Denver, El Paso, Little Rock and
Galveston from north to south and
pretty well through the central and
western part of the country.
PROGRESS OF CONSTRUCTION.
Work is progressing steadily on the
northern end of the Frisco railroad
between Cape Girardeau and St. Louis
and obout three-fourths of the grad
ing is finished; the delays having oc
curred in the rock cuts some of which
are heavy. It will be open to traffic
by next fall and before that time all
the work (including track-laying) will
be completed between Van Duser,
through Bloomfield to Campbell.
Through trains will run from St. Louis
to Kennett and Memphis early in 1904.
