Gould, who is supposed to be t , the power behind the throne In the ) "Western Pacific railroad, is going to ' ' 1 have the surveys resumed shortly. The Idea Is that the road is Intended to be jj " a rival to the Salt Lake road, with a i! terminal at San Diego. Meanwhile Mr. ' Gould strenuously denies that he Is connected with the "Western Pacific , I scheme In any way, shape or form, and ' ' that he feels no necessity of building an outlet to tho coast. In view of the , friendly relations he has with the Har-, Har-, rlman system. i i ' Thore are other reports which credit ft Gould with being behind David H. Mof-4 Mof-4 fat In the matter of the Denver, Xorth- 1 western & Pacific This he also denies, but it hardly seems likely that Harri- 1 man and Gould will look calmly on at the building of a road which can hardly hard-ly help but take business away from ' ' them, without one or the other of them having something to say In the con-t con-t f i trol of such a road. There is a general disposition to take the building of the "Western Pacific j , with a grain of salt. But the same has Ht been the case with almost every other road In the "West, and still the WcBt i continues to get more and more rall-, rall-, . roads. 1 i |
