The officers of the Jacksonville South
eastern have not decided upon the route
from Canton. This much was assured ~
Engineer Olmstead. Two routes presen,
themselves from that place and the one
that in their opinions is the best will be
adopted by the company. Oae way is
by the direct line to Rock Island. This
will take them nearly through Galesburg
and thst city will get the road. This
plan has most serious disadvantages .
The route parallels the Fulton county
narrow gauge and the Buda & Rushville
and the Peoria branches of the @ or
the southeast of Galesburg. From that
city TO Rock Island and Moline there i:
the Rio branch an the St. Louis & Rock
Island division. The prospect for good
business through that territory is moi
very encouraging.-Mon Review

full of ice, is in the way, and until som
disposition can be made of it the passen
ger trains will continue to be made NJ
