The Jefferson City Tribune says:
Work has actually commenced on the
new Missouri Pacific line from here to
Kansas City.
The Rock Island railroad compa-
ny has rented The old Santa Fe gen.
eral offices in Topeka and will move
its "ffices from Atchison about Janu-
airy /.
In Centerville township, Linn
county, the proposition to subscribe
s27, 500 to the Kansas City Il Pacific
Railroad company was defeated by %
votes.
Work on the extension of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe to
Chicago is in progress near Independ-
ence. Mo. The new line leaves Kan
sas City on the belt road, and then
hugs the river shore thirteen miles to
Sibley, where it will bridge the river.
The work of construction on the
Missouri Pacific River line at Boon
vile commenced Friday afternoon
contractor Bogwell having put force
to work west of that town, at $3.50 p.
m. The line has also located on
Water street east through that city so
as to take possession under the char
ter granting the Missouri Pacific the
right to build through it. The road
is now an assured fact.
d. III, III. Clark, general manager
of the Missouri Pacific, will arrive in
St. Louis either tomorrow or Monday.
1t is pretty generally understood at
headquarters that no changes will be
made in the heads of departments, for
the present, at least. This is based
on the fact that every man in position
was placed there either at Mr.. Gould's
suggestion or with his full approval.
&C. A. Richards, one of the con-
ductors on the Parsons division of the
Gulf, was suspended last week for
fifteen days because he accepted a |
free pass from the editor of McCune |
to which the editor had
not signed the usual conditions print
ed on the back of the pass releasing
the company from liability for dam
ages that might result to him while !
travelling over the road on the pass.
The Missouri Pacific having de-
cided to occupy all of their right of
way in the city, presumably to pre-.
vent it from being taken by other
have had it carefully sur
veyed and are having every building
not belonging to the company at once
removed from it. They have marked !
out and are laying as fast as possible
five tracks extending the full length /
of the ground from north TO south
and between them there will be an
number of short con-
Meeting cracks. The survey disclosed
the fact that the frame portion of the
Wirth House was several feet on the
railroad ground and in the direct line
of the main line of tracks on the west
side of the grounds. The track WAS
laid up to the house from both sides
and the owner was notified to take
his building out of the way at once.
The track is also located so close to
the brick part of the Wirth House
that passing cars will not miss the cor
ner of the building three inches. A
prominent Missouri Pacific official
stated yesterday that the new tracks
TO be laid will measure several miles,
and as they are assessed $1,000 per
mile for taxation the improvement
will add materially to the taxable
of the city.-Parsons Sun.
