Million Acres Behind Rock Island Scheme To Break Santa Fe Monopoly
Rock Island and Frisco lines back a plan to open 1,000,000 acres of arid land in Hidalgo and Cameron counties Texas for cultivation via irrigation from a central power station along the Rio Grande. The project foresees 200,000 acres of sugar cane in five years, a central sugar mill, and transport of raw sugar to refineries. The Rock Island and Mexican roads are stockholders in the irrigation venture. The Salt Lake route advances a line to the Grand Canyon with a Moapa branch, and the Santa Fe monopoly is challenged. Postmaster Robbed in River ton La reports recovery after Electric Bitters.
