ST. LOUIS TO ST. PAUL.
The New Direct Line and When liz Will
BE Completed---A Rock Island
Contractor HOnOred.

E. P. Reynolds, Esq, returned from
Chicago this morning, where in the Grand
Pacific hotel yesterday, the contracts were
let for the construction of the new con-
Meeting line of the Chicago & Burlington
system from st. Louis to st. Paul. Mr..
Reynolds was honored in receiving one
of the contracts for the construction of
the new northern lines. The contracts
let are for the new track extending from
Oregon on Rock river and Fulton on the
Mississippi to ST. Paul E. p Reynolds
& CO., of this city, are to have that por>
ton from the Wisconsin river south 100
miles, and d. C. Sheppard & Co., of
Minneapolis, from the Wisconsin river
north, with the exception of thirty miles
near Winona, Mimi, which is IN charge
of w. H. SpoiIord. OF Winona.
There are $50 miles of new track to be
laid of which more than half is in charge
of L. p Reynolds Il Co. The new line
VIII follow the east bank Of the river be
tween the bluffs and the water all the way
from Fulton up to st. Paul, thus viewing
some of the most magnificent scenery
that the country affords. The work will
cost the company $4,000, 600.
In conversation with an ARGUS repor
ter this morning Mr.. Reynolds said oper>
atoms would commence Immediately, and
one year would find the line in readiness
for use The contract" said he, 'is
one of the largest ever undertaken in This
section of the country, and when the job
is completod it will give to the Burlington
system the only direct line from Oregon,
| H.. TO St panl, as we'll as the only
through route from Saint to Saint. 1t
will fill up the gap between Savannah aud
! Fulton, in fact when finished, it will be
the making of one of the most ,tensive
connecting links in the country"
The firm of L. p. Reynolds & Co have
reason TO feel gratitied, if not flattereG, in
receiving this important contract, espec
! ially where there was so much bitter
competition. The firm is to do mote than
half the entire work, and propositions for
the work, and inducements for receiving
it were made from every state in the
Union, the best known contracting firms
in the country sending in bids. 1t was
nothing more or less than the fame which
Mr. Reynolds has achieved as a railroad
contractor. which secured for him this
wide distinction
The Chicago, Burlington & Northern is
virtually the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, although many are ntereSed in
the new PROJECT who have no connection
with the great % ~ route. The corpora
ton has purchased the rights and privi-
leges of the Wuona, Alma Il Northern
and now has clear road to the Mnncso
