Conjectures as to the Future Course of
tho Tort Worth and Bio Grande
The Bights and Wrongs of the New York
Central Strike A Biz Eallroad Consolida-
tion General Hail road News
It is frequently asked Where will
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande build to
after it leaves Comanche Without
any official announcement on tbe subject
it can be very safely assumed that it will
be extended to Llano Of course tho
railroad is not going to make public right
away where It is going to be extended
but tbere are signs in tbe air that talk
just about as loud as words do Yester-
day a couplo of prominent Llanoltes were
In the city and had quite a consultation
with President Hornby The nature of
tbe consultation is not positively
known but it was no doubt
on the subject of tbe extension
of tbe Fort Wortb nnd Rio Grande road
Llauo wants the road badly and it Is
said has offered good Inducements for it
Railroads are like individuals in some re-
spects and can be influenced and it be
gins to look as If Llano bad found tho
way The rich mineral fields in that
section are of themselves great Induce-
ment for a railroad to build to them and
there is but little doubt that tbe Fort
Worth and Rio Grande road will tap that
section before a great while
MIM1RAL ItAlLKOAI LANDS
The Northern Fncifle Comprint in Posses
Hi on ot Lnrge Tracts
Representative Carter of Montana
chairman of tbe mlues committee has
reported favorably to the bouse a bill to
take from tho Northern Pnclflo railroad
compnny all its lands in Montana and
Idaho which nre mineral in character
nnd to give them other lands in lieu
thereof Cotigrecs in making land grants
has uniformly excepted mineral lauds
from the grants made
It has beeu charged that the Northern
Pacific has manaced to secure a larce
Dart ot thebfst mining lands in tbe two
states This question formed one ot tbe
principal features of the election cam-
paign iu Montana
The report accompanying this bllljsays
that on a very conservative estimate it
trny be safely assumed that over 6000
000 acres ot the land grant of tho North-
ern Pacific In Montana and Idaho are
obviously mineral lands Under the
rules of the interior department sur-
veyors linve not been paid for land sur
veved aud as a consequence lands no-
toriously mineral when surveyed have
beeu classified without reference to their
mineral bearing character Mines bear-
ing gold silver copper and lead are be-
ing discovered constantly within the
limit ot the grant and experience has
demonstrated that the whole system of
mining ranges extending westward a
distance of over COO miles is underloced
by a vast network of mineralbearing
veins
ACTITITr IN MONTANA
Itallroad Balidlnjr Will contlnns far at
Least Five Years
There Is no cessation In railroad activ-
ity in Montana and such will con-
tinue to be tbe case for at least flv0
years to come At present the con
structlon In Montana is confined
to tbe Northern Paoiflo Great
Northern aud Great Falls and
Canada but the work these com-
panies are undertaking are eaob exten-
sive Northern PaolHo construction is
how being carried on on a largo scale on
the MlssoulaCccur deAlene line
About 2000 men are engaged in tin
work Yesterday rails were laid across
Quartz creek on a false trestle and
west ot It the roadbed U ready lor tho
track for a distance of eighteen miles
On acoount of tbe big demand for men
with the Great Northern contractors
much difficulty is experienced in seonr
injc the number of bands that there Is
work for on the line The contractors
nre hiring all who apply for work as
thor are determined that before the first
of tbe year they will have the road com-
pleted to Hurray
The Great Northern snrvovors are work-
ing in the Kostenia country nbove Spo-
kane The roadk will enter Spokane
probably over tbe Spokane Falls and
Northern track The road will probably
run through Olcnnngan county to a con-
nection with the Fairhaven and South-
ern An arrangement U also contem-
plated between the Spokane and North-
ern and the Great Northern by which the
former roaa will be extended west
through the Colvllle reservation to a
Junction with tho Fairhaven and South-
ern completing the connection already
outlined The Great Northern will then
have only to build from Montana to a
junction with tbe Bpokane and North-
ern and in the meantime the Spokane
and Northern cau build west and the
Fairhaven and Southern east and will
completo tbe Great Northern line to the
ooast in less than eighteen months Mr
Corby already has permission from con-
gress to cross the ColV1HO reservation
which will probably be thrown open next
year to settlement
Tile Albuquerque
The affairs of the Fort Worth and Al-
buquerque road have progressed none
for two weeko They aro in statu quo >
and the indications are that they will re-
main there for a while It is said that
negotiations are pending looking to the
completion of the road to Sprlngtown
anyhow nnd the theory is when trains
get to running to thut point that bonds
of the concern cau easily be floated for
a sufficient amount to finish tbe road to a
considerable distance beyond No
definite information has been given out
however and the situation so far as the
public Is concerned remains unchanged
A nig Consideration
Indianapolis lNDAug 21 S B
Leggett secretary of the various rail-
roads comprising the Southwest system
of tho Pennsylvania road arrived yes-
terday and in a few minutes he had
consolidated 1051 miles of road now op-
erating under different names into one
corporation known as tbe Pittsburgh
Chicago Cincinnati and St Louis rail-
way company The new company is to
have an authorized capital of 8150000
000 in bonds and stooks of which sum
42000000 is to be set aside for tho re-
demption of debts that are secured by
prior liens on tbe roads consolidated
This will leave 833000000 for tbo pur-
chase and construction of additional rail-
ways uud other lawful purposes
The New Tork Central Strike
It is evident that the strike inaugur
ated on tbo New York Central railroad
Is but a repetition of several attempts
made by organizations to dictate tbe
conditions upon which tho business of
such corporations sbnll be conduoted
Tbere Is no complaint as to the general
manner in which tbe company has
treated its employes They seem to
have been receiving fair pay for tbeir
services and just consideration of all
their rights Tbe strike has no justifi-
cation or excuse beyond tbe charge that
u few trainmen were discharged because
they were Knights and this charge Is
flatly denied by tbe companys officers
As a matter of fact VicePresident
Webb says tbe discbarges were made on
account of slack business and these
particular men were turned off because
tbey were the least efficient In the ser-
vice regardless of their relations to any
labor orgauizatlon The proposition of
tbe strikers therefore is to compel tho
company to employ more men than it
wonts and to make membership in the
Knights of Labor the test of fitness for such
employment At a given signal without
previous warning to the company or the
public tbe operations of the road have
been practically blocked and its useful-
ness to the people is for tbe time forcibly
withdrawn This is tbe situation as it
stands and the publlo can judge who is
right
