Some influential citizens of Kansas
City recently asked Jay Gould to sx-
tend his Missouri Pacific line from Kan
sas City to Paola, and to treat Kansas
City as the virtual terminus of that Dor
tion of the Gould system. Mr.. Gould
replied, June 16, in letter now printed
for the first time; 1.-The present is not
an opportune time for the building OF
railroads. Very few Of the miles al
ready built and operated in the United
States are yielding any returns what
ever to their owners. The Missouri
Pacific has felt tho business depression
very keenly and the end is not visible.
Some additions have been. made to its
mileage during the past year, but only
such as seemed essential to the protec-
ton OF the investment already made,
and in localities where the people to be
benefited have been willing to assume
portion Of the burden of construction.
Many more additions should be made.
and no doubt will be in time, but the
management feel that ordinary pru-
dence requires that in the main they
will wait until more favorable period"
