A special dispatch from Marshall, Mo-, 1,
the st. Louis Republican, dated December !.
says:-''Civil Engineer K. r. Van Frank
of st. Louis, who is engaged IN taking = casua
or preliminary survey of the route between
Jefferson City and Kansas City has arrive,
here. The gentleman was seen by a reporte
this afternoon and gave the following infor
nation in regard 10 the survey. Mr.. Val
Frank left jefferson City last Tuesday an,
thus far the survey has proven very ~satisfac
tory, finding a comparatively low grade an,
almost a direct line to this point. He follow
ed the Missouri, passing through Boonville
leaving the river at the mouth of tn
Lamine. hugging Lamine to the mouth O
Black Water and following Black Water t
the mouth of Salt Fork and on to this place
keeping In the valleys Of the above name,
streams. Engineer Van Frank will continu
the survey Tomorrow, probably reaching
Lexington next Sunday or Monday, and fron
there will examine the country to Kansa
City. This being merely an informal survey
Mr.. Van Frank said he was not prepared t.
make a statement IN regard to future pro
ceedings land did not state by whom the road
ii built. would be operated, although 1t i
understood that Gould Is interested"
Special to the K. c. journal, from Boon
vile, Dec. 9:-''Col. Crews, attorney for tn
Missouri Pacific railroad, reached here thi
morning. and has been in consultation witt
prominent citizens during the day. He say
that he was notified to come here by the Mis-
souri, Pacific folks and ascertain whether O
not they could obtain the right-of-way from
thisc city to the Lamine river, q distance o
seven miles above here. He says that tn
growing business of the Missouri PacIfi
makes 1t necessary for them to double thei
track from St. Louis to Kansas City, an,
that they propose to run u road up along tn
river from Jefferson City to Lexington, pass
ing through this city, if the Boonville peopl
do what is right. If net, they will leav
Boonvllle, seven miles to the south. If tn
right-of-W way can be obtained they are willinI
TO pay what is right for it, and they do not asl
the city to give them a cent. only their goo,
will. He thinks if the people will co.operat
with them the Missouri Pacific will be run
ming regular trains through here up the new
route within six months, as they mean bust
ness. With the splendid prospects of the Cen
trail Missouri and this new line Boonvill
will be well supplied with rosds, and peopl
are naturally very jubilant over the pros
poets of the clty's future. Engineers an,
surveyors will be here tomorrow, and worI
preparatory TO the building of the road vii
begin at once"
