The Atlantic, Suwannee River and
Gulf railroad has created a stir in
railroad circles by changing the pro-
posed route for their extension from
Alachua county. AS originally sur
veyed the road was to run due west
from Alachua, but now the company
is surveying a new route from
Alachua due north to High Springs.
The new road will touch High
Springs to the west. This will give
High Springs connecting line with
the F. C. & P, and a much shorter
route to Jacksonville. The new road,
while it is owned and operated by the
Lumber company, is a dis
tinct connection of the f. G. & p. at
Starke. This makes their recent
