THE NARROW GAUGE.
A Discussion as to the Advantage
of Change Of Time.

The BsZoo some weeks ego made men,
ton of the fact that an effort was being
made amongst the patrons OF the Narrow
Gauge road IN Benton county to secure a
change of schedule for the running of pas-
senger trains upon that road and that it
was claimed the change would soon be
made. Since that time there seems, how.
ever, TO have been developed some opposi-
ton to the scheme aud tre matter is caus-
ing a COOL deal of disc ussion.
A prominent cit Zen of Warsaw was
seen about tie matter by q reporter and in
'he course OF conversation expressed him-
self as strongly in favor of the change
"As il now Isl" he said, 1--WE have to 'ose
an en- Ire d y TO come To Sedalia and have
but five hours in which 10 transact our
business in Sedalis, no matter how volum-
nous or important, or We are compelled TO
remain over all night ard lose two days,
while il the trains left Warsaw at 1890 d
m each day instead of a. m as now, we
could arrive in Ssdali. by 2:30 p. M Civ
ing us most OF the afternoon and evening to
transact our business and allowing US an
opportunity to see The city and attend its
amusemen's by gas light anu we could next
morning leave at o'clock
aud reach home by 10 A NJ, thus giving
US rut one day &C ual loss o: tim. Another
advsn aye We would have would he that
We would thus make c.o>e connections with
trains from other points which we now
miss, and sill grester advsnt &c would
b. thst parties from the country would
thus be able 20 get to Warsaw ana take the
train the same day, which is now impossi-
Bile. Contingent 10 Warsaw is VIII atland,
Climax and Hermitage about twenty-eight
miles distant each, Quincy twenty, Durvoc
fifteen, Fairfield. Cross Roads, Lone Oak ard
other points from ten to seven miles dis
iant, from all which persons tax NC an
early start could drive to Warsaw in time
u c,tch q noon train while they now have
10 come to Wars and remain over sll
night IN order TO take the mornirg train.
The result OF this is that In going east they
usually go to the San Francisco road and
take night train driving much further
but saving from twelve to twenty four
hours delay while if they could leave War
saw at noon they would have to drive a
much shor,er distance and could save
Twelve hours time over the other route
Nor is this mstt-r any better when return.
log home as they arrive in Sedalia under
the present schedule after The trsiu h left
for Warsaw, and are compiled to remain
until p m. next day, reaching Warsaw
just in time to have to remain over a nigh,
there before starting home" A number of
persons from Warsaw and vicinity have
been seen, and all hold TIE same views.
But at Co Camp opinion is divided, bust,
ness men who come to Sedslis exclusively
on business hold that ii suits them best to
leave home at 7:30 a. DC. and return at 4:30
p. NJ, but those who desire to come for
pleasure and TO attend the theatres, favor
the change, as do also most outlying neigh
borhoods, which are composed chiefly of
Boylers Mills, twelve miles distant; Slower,
eight miles BoescbeDville and Lake Creek,
six miles. aud Branersville, four miles, all
of which would be converts need by
change.
In this city the change is a m itter OF
little importince. Whatever, if any adj
vantage there is in it, however, is conceded
to be in favor of a change.
At present the trains leave Warsaw at
$40, ard arrive in Sedalis at 10 a NJ !;
leave Sedslia at p. m. and arrive in
Warsaw at GO p. m The change sought
would make the trains leave Sedalia at
a. 10. and arrive in Wars Nv al 1920; leave
Warsaw at II and arrive in sedalia at 3
