Harriman to prevent the Goulds from building from Durango to Farmlngton have been unsuccess ful, and the work of construction will be continued with all possible haste. This track, fifty-two miles in length, is to furnish a connecting link be tween the Denver & Rio Grande and the Texas & Pacific, two of the Gould lines, which will give the Gould sys tern a direct communication between St. Louis, Denver and Salt Lake City The Goulds are determined to have the connecting link built as loon as possible. The Supreme Court of New Mexico ordered that they file a $30, 000 indemnifying bond to guarantee the Arizona & Colorado Railway against all damages, and this the Goulds will immediately do. With the control of the Western Pacific, which is being rapidly built into San Francisco, jhe Goulds will have direct communication between the East ant the Pacific coast and will travel over their own track all the way. In furtherance of this scheme the Durango-Farmington line is a neces sity. The Harrimans, realizing the building of this road will give the Gould lines connections through to the coast and thus make them strong competitors for transcontinental bus iness, have thrown every possible ob stacle In the way of the construction.
