Railway deals and tech promise stir early 1900s press
The article notes Rock Island’s acquisition of St Louis and San Francisco lines, Wabash’s $10 million rail terminal plan across major cities, and a 18,316 miles railroad construction tally this year versus 6,025 in 1902. It also mentions 440,000 acres of coal lands in Indian Territory auction proceeds for Indians, a new electrical typesetting machine rumored to revolutionize newspaper work, and European wheat yields averaging 38 bushels per acre with higher field input in European lines. It adds references to army and naval assets with battleship and monitor lists, and a British purchase of South African railways funded by colonies.
