In Pittsburg the Goulds also won a decisive point in getting an entrance into the city over its own tracks, and also secured trafMfic relations with the Carnegie Steel Company, which means thousands of tonnage of freight a year taken directly away from the Pennsyl- vania, On its part ihe Pennsylvania bit the Goulds a hard blow by its stand against the Western ‘Infon Telegraph Company and it has obstructed in every possible ‘way the Bastern plans of the Goulds. John D. Rockefeller, Wiillam Rocke- feller and Andrew Carnegie are active allles with George Gould in both his Plans, which have for their broad final scope the extension of the Missourl Pa- cifle west. from the sissippl_to the Pacific; the extension of the Wabash east from the Mississippi to the Atlantic seaboard and the unifying of the two into one great transcontinental system. This plan fs nearer consummation than is generally known. Inconsequentlal links on both the eastern and western halves of the system are all that are necessary to make it complete.
