Already in control of a large railroed system, covering Northern States from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River, the Van Sweringens, according to good authority have acquired recently a working control of the Missourl Pa- cific system, which covers important trunk lines as far West as Salt Lake City, as far Southwest as El Paso, Tex., and connecting with the International Great Northern Railroad from Mexico at Laredo, Tex. ‘The Missouri Pacific control has been acquired, financial observérs said, through quiet buying of its common stock and convertible bonds.

The transcontinental system as fig- ured out by railroad men would con- nect the following lines: Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, Buffalo to New York; Nickel Plate, Buf- falo to St. Louis; Missouri Pacific, St. Louis to Pueblo, Colo.; Denver, Rio Grande & Western, Pueblo to Salt Lake City, and Western Pacific, from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. ‘There are several alternate routes that could be used in the system east of the Mississippi River. ‘Through the Denver, Rio Grande & ‘Western Railroad, one of the subsidi- aries of the Missouri Pacific, the Van Sweringens have a “friendly contact” with the Western Pacific. The Missouri Pacific owns a half interest in the Den- ver, Rio Grande & Western and the Western Pacific owns the other half of the same lines. I. C. C. Attitude Unknown.
