pondent he had heard of the matter
for the first time and did not know of

Frisco-Rock Island Policy Will Be In
Favor of Galveston and New Or
leans Against Atlantic Ports.
It is said that the Frisco-Rock Isl
and policy when the St. Louis, Mem
phis and New Orleans line is com
pleted will be to divert a large portion
of the Mississippi valley export trade
from the Atlantic ports to the gulf
ports, Galveston and New Orleans.
The Rock Island reaches Galveston
through its purchase of a one-half
interest in the Houston and Texas
Central, while the Frisco will soon
reach New Orleans.
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois
and the St. Louis, Memphis and
Southeastern, and the New Orleans
line will form a Dew through line from
Chicago to the gulf, and a water
grade line from St. Louis to New Or
leans. It will be a strong competitor
of the Illinois Central and Louisville
& Nashville, and likewise the Gould
new water grade line.
The Frisco-Rock Island, traversing
the finest agricultural sections of the
west and southwest, will be able to
control a la; ge portion of the output.
The Gould system and the Frisco
R. I. system are seeking to accom
plish a great deal for the Texas and
Louisiana ports, and much of the busi
ness in future will be diverted from
the Atlantic ports, especially in grain
and cotton.

wood, Jefferson county, and will run

coln county to Watson, in Desha
county. It will tap the Memphis,
Helena and Louisiana railway at Wat
son and the Iron Mountain at Lin
wood, thirteen miles from Pine Bluff,
The total mileage will be forty-eight
