New York. June 22.—The New
York Central's traffic aliianoe with
the Louisville and Naahville, by
which the former gains three tide-
water terminals at the Gulf to one
controlled by the Illinois Ceiitral,
promises some lively competltlomfor
traffic between the lakes and the gulf,
which may force the Illinois Central
to carry through ith reported nego-
tiations for purchase and control or
the Pt. Ix>uls Southweatern.
Control of the Cotton Belt would
give the Illinois Central a direct,
line from Chicago to within one hun-
dred miles of the gtilf or entrance
info Galveston over lines with
which the Cotton Belt now has traf-
fic contracts. By construction of ap-
proximately 100 miles of new line
the Cotton Belt could be extended
to Pert Arthur and with very little
extra mileage it could get Into Gal-
veston over Its own tracks. Why the
Cotton Belt has not before complet-
ed its Une to the gulf is something
which It is bard to understand,
Not only In the above mentioned
connection Is the New York Ccntral-
1 ouisvllle and NashvMle alliance like-
ly to preclDltate some chances in the
railroad field, but It also Is reason-
able to believe will involve gome re-
adjustment of railroad relations on
the South Atlantic seaboard, inas-
much as the Pittsburg and l,»ke Erie
has a ninety-nine year traffic con-
tract with the Western Marvland and
the Louisville and Nashville is own-
ed by the Atlantic Const Une, it ap-
pears to pave the way for close triple
alliances between the Atlantic Coast
Line, the Western Maryland and
the Pittsburg and I-ake Erie-New
York Central system.

the Austin branch at Gfddlnga, Me
county, to Stone City, Brazos coun-
ty, the terminus of the Hearne and
Brazos Valley, which Is owned by
the Sunset-Central Interests. This
line has been In prospect for several
months, and is to give the Southern
Pacific system Its direct line be-
tween North and South Texas, more
particularly connecting San Antonio
and Austin w^h Dallas, Fort Worth
and other North Texas points, be-
sides through service outside the
state. ' |■
From San Antonio the through

ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio
tracks to Flatonia. then the San
Antonio and Aransas Pass to Gld-
dings and thence over the new line
to Hearne. This service was out-
lined at the time of the recent visit
of President Lovett to Texas. It
will not be very much longer via
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the International and Great

this portion of Texas and North
