Show H j Western men can hardly comprehend some H , I IJfju of the work that is going on in the Bast. The BA , rebuilding, practically, of the Union and old Cen- K f tral Pacific roads has seemed like a big thing, I but the Pennsylvania Central Railroad company has entered upon a $200,000,000 expenditure to give the company terminal facilities in New York, to extend immensely its facilities in .Chicago .Chi-cago and to practically parallel the old Baltimore & Ohio through line. That gives an idea of the I growing traffic of the East and makes more reasonable rea-sonable the proposition that it will not be long until all residents will have to remove from New York City and give up the whole island to the Insatiable In-satiable demands of Commerce. Boston, Philadelphia, Philadel-phia, and Baltimore are all growing, but the ' maelstrom of Commerce is Manhattan Island. H 1 1 |
