About six wecks ago S, 8, Merrill, general mansger of the line, with members of his famlly and several frionde, among them certaln wall- posted eastern capitaliste, started from Milwaukee in a speclal car for San Francisco, They traveled through the west over the Unfon Pacific, Cen- tral Pacific, Southern Pacific, Mexi. can Central, Donver & Rlo Grande, Atchizon, Topiks & Santa Fe, At- lantle & Pacific and other roads, and only returned last week. In aninter- vlew with a Herald correspondent Mr. Merrill oald that he returned well pleased with the west and its grand resources, It {8 now learned that there is little doubt that the purpose of Merrills visic to the west, and par- ticularly to Californis, was the bufld- ing, or rather extevslon, of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & Si Paul to San Francieco, and sctive competition with the Unfon Pacific, Burlington, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Northern Pa- citicCalifornia routes. It {s knownthat this road {s now engaged in extending their llno to Daadwood and track s laid to Chamberlain, D. T, Tt would take little more to build it on to the Paclfic const.

There are sald to be several big eastern capitalists, at present ho!d rs of St Paol stocks and bonds, in the scheme. The matter will excite much comment and discussion on all sldes.
