Mulloy is now in Omaha working with all his might for his house and there arts those who intimate that he will succeed in making Mr Potter view the matter in the same light as they do This however is

been discharged from the employ of the company com-pany The action of the officials was generally deplored the public looking upon the brakeman as being instrumental instru-mental in saving the lives of many passengers pas-sengers on the train and there was the most hearty accord in the finding of the verdict of justifiable homicide by the jury IN BEFEBBINU to the Rio Grandes broad gauge arrangement th Railway Age in its last issue says All along the route from Pueblo to Salida the work of renewing cross ties has been prosecuted prose-cuted this season and every new tie that has replaced an old worn out one has been of standard measure so that as far as this consideration is concerned the gauge of the road can be widened very soon Oak ties costing the company com-pany 75 ceuts each have been used and it is said that these will do efficient service ser-vice for ten years And it may be remarked re-marked in this connection that these oak ties costing onehalf as much as imported metal ties will only last from onefifth to onethird as long Speaking Speak-ing approximately it is safe to say that for a period of fifty years the expense ex-pense of steel ties will not exceed one half that of oak ties in the first cost while the laying and renewal of the I latter will cost fully four times as much as the former This in passing But the substitution of broad for narrow gauge ties is not the only way in which the read is being improved and fitted for standard rolling stock The track is being straightened as far as possible and at one point the course of jthe Arkansas River has been turned quite out of its former channel and diverted to a new direction to allow the road to make a more direct and desirable route One other consideration will demand attention and that is the sharp turns and narrow passages in the mountains The narrow gauge cars were enabled to scale the mountains and descend into the valleys over a roadway that standard stand-ard equipment would not follow This matter will ot course receive due attention at-tention in its turn and one of these days the Denver d Rio Grande will come forth a full grown standard gauge road A NUMBER of Missouri Pacific officials are at Pueblo arranging for the coming of their road into Pueblo which will be early in December It was stated in railway circles yesterday that the Missouri Mis-souri Pacific will come direct to Denver over the Denver and Rio Grande tracks The city passenger fficeof the Missouri Pacific will be in the Cheeseman b ock at Seventeenth and Larimer Streets Tickets will be placed on sale there December De-cember 1 THE SASTAFE is erading at l ioa Springs for a round house THE COMING 0ft Mr George J Gould I has created considerable interest among I railway men it is generally b lie ed I that the mission of the young railway prince is to settle the terms of the contract between the Missouri Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande for terminal and trackage privileges from i Pueblo into Denver Mr Gould is en route to Los Angeles to confer with II the other interested parties in the Los Angeles tiL Salt Lake road which will form part of the Missouri Pacifics chain to the coast General Manager Smith of the Rio Grande met him in Kansas City Mr Gould will probably come to Pueblo in time to attend the opening of his road While there is believed to be some grounds for supposing suppos-ing the Missouri Pacific would like to own the Denver Rio Grande a prominent prom-inent official of the Rio Grande is authority for the statement that the Missouri Pacific has not got money enough to buy the great Colorado railway rail-way The official explained that the Denver Rio Grande may grant the Missouri Pacific terminal and trackage facilities but denied peremptorily that there were any negotiations pending for the sale of the Rio Grande President Moffat of the Rio Grande is in New York and there is no doubt but that there is some important deal underway under-way but it is regarded as concerning the extensions of the road north of Glenwood Springs and also relating to the absorption of the Rio Grande Western West-ern Denver Ntws |
