There is no longer the least doubt
about the completion OF the Jefferson
City, Boonville and Lexington branch
of the Missouri Pacific. Bids have been
received and contracts will be awarded
to- day for the Immediate completion OF
the road to this city. This does not
mean part of the road, but the entire
road, and BY next week work will be
going all along the route. No one
familiar with the matter ever doubted
that Il was the intention of the Missouri
Pacific to complete the line this sum-
mer, but some people will not believe
q thing possible until they see it. Well,
such people will have positive proof
within q few dave. Now is the time to
go to work for the shops. BY waiting
few months the shops will be located
somewhere else.

The aggregate valuation of personal
property in Missouri is $2O4, ,223, $50,
there only being four states which
make better showing-New York
fennsylvania. OHIO, and Massa achusetts.
The largest item, $6l, 1856, 1920, includes
money notes and bonds, though the
great bulk of the personal property in
Missouri represents different classes of
live stock, an interest which has shown
marvellous growth in the state within
the last ten wears.
