The Missouri Pacific to Build q
Double Track to Muddy
Bridge.
Other Local Matters Which WilE
Prove of Interest to Rail-
way Men.

A BAzoo reporter heard yesterday
that the Missouri Pacific railway COM
pany will, at an early day, begin the
construction of a double track from,
this city to point west of Muddy
bridge. The officials are very re-.
ticent on the subject, but there is
scarcely doubt but that the work
will be completed at an early day.
Said one gentleman who was intxr-
viewed by the BAzoo:
"The double track will be built,
but / don't think it will stop at Muddy.
j am satisfied that it will extend as
far west as Dresden. 1t is badly
needed, and from all the information
[ can CLEAN, it will be constructed"
Roadmaster Rockwell was out of .
the city yesterday, consequently it was
impossible to interrOgate him on the
subject.
