A very enthusiastic meeting was held
at Odessa, last Tuesday, in the interest
of the extension of the c., b. & q.
railway through the towns of Lexing-
ton, Odessa and Holden. Committees
represented Lexington and Holden. Be-
side the Odessa committee the room
was filled with prominent citizens of
the town and vicinity. 1t was made
manifest that strong interest is felt
along the entire line IN behalf of the
road, and that no steps will be left un-
tried toward securing it's completion.
Other towns in this county also desire
the road and will do all in their power
to secure it, which is all right. TIE
rivalry ls generous one, however, we
hope. and while talking up one town
there should be no detraction from
others The spirit manifested at Odesss
was one Of fair play, but of earnest de-
termination. There are a number o.
reasons why it would be better, for the
road, to come by way of Lexington
These will be set forth. We have Col
Laws positive assurance, made severa
times. and to several gentlemen, tha
if the road is built southwest at all /
will come through Lexington. He ha
assured us that such was the intention
of the company; but other people wan
the r ad and it behooves Us to be AZ
tive also, aud not to trust anything t
chsnoe. or to old plans

General Miles, Commander of the
Military Department OF the Missouri,
in his report to the adjutant- general OF
the army, says tina! before the late
In iian trouble New Mexico was pam
demonium, the haunt of outlaws, with
the Indians crowded into bad camps !;
but the control of the military has
stopped the issuing Of 10000 more
rations than the Indians needed, saved
100000 year to the government, and
driven off the outlaws. The territory
is block in the pathway of civiliza-
ton and perpetuates barbarism, costing
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
maintain between 10000 and $4,000
Indians. 1t is capable of supporting
many millions of white people, and
ought to be opened to settlement, with
land enough reserved to the Indians to
give each farm. They can be made
self-sustainiug. He urges the carrying
out absolutely of all promises to the
Indians.

THE SHORT LINE RAILROAD.

The surveying corps for the Short
Line railroad is at work Oil this side OF
Marshall, and will soon be III Lafayette
county.
This road is OF the greatest lmpor-
tance to the people of Lafayette county,
and there should be no lack of enc9ur-
agement given the enterprise. 1T is
truly an independent line, organized by
citizens along the route. IT the st.
Louis & Kansas City Short Line IS
built it must be done by capitalists or
roads that have no interest In either
the Gould or G & A. roads. Should
the survey prove to be thirty miles
shorter than either of the present roads
between St. Louis s. Kansas City, the
grade better than either, and the people
along the line show all enterprising
spirit in giving assistance, the road, we
believe, will certainly be built Capt.
talists will invest money in road be-
tween two great cities, on line thirty
miles uedfef Ill q IuiicS ulSldiiSC,ii ehC
people will encourage them.
The neil who are working up the
project claim thatwith such a shortening
of distance, and an easy grade, the
rights-of- way and liberal subscription
of stock on the part OF the citizens
along the line, they will have no trouble
in having the road built. We under
stand that in Howard County where
they are being taken, that every
one freely gives the rights-of-way, and
we hope the same encouragement will
be given in this county, for without the
rights. Of way there is no hope OF the
road. Men will not put their money
in property where they will be annoy
ed by suits for rights-of-way; they want
the people to be friendly, and to act in
harmony with them. So letus all lend
helping hand to this road, railroad
that will be of the greatest benefit to
our county and to all of the counties
along the entire line.
The board of directors have deter
mined to take the rights Of way as the
survey progresses, and have also agreed
TO issue certificates of stock to those
who will subscribe. That is, the SUBJ
scriber to stock will sign three notes,
the first to be due and payable thirty
days after a locomotive engine runs
over the road the second note to be due
one year thereafter, and the third note
two years thereafter. Stock will be
issued to the amount of each note, the
total sum asked to be subscribed in
Lafayette county being 81 900 per mile.
The surveying corps will be in Lafay-
cite county in few days. 1t is the
intention to make several lines of sur
yey through Lafayette and Saline coun-
ties, each standing on its merits, and to
be considered by the capitalists who
will build the road.
We believe that the st. Louis &
Kansas City Short Line will be built if
the people will only do their part. The
road needs no advertisement f.; it is
quietly working its way, and, at the
proper time, we feel satisfied that we
shall hear good reports.
