WANT HOUCK'S ROAD EXTENDED.
The People of Dunklin County Want to
Get Into Cape Girardeau,

We take the following from the
Dunklin Democrat. 1t speaks for
itself:
At this distance from the scene. it
does seem short-sighted in the city
council of Cane Gira rdeau to hesitate
a minute about giving the Houck-
Commerce road right-of-way into that
city. That Commerce road j. to be
the starting point for Il system of
railroads. most of them already com
pleted and in operation. that reaches
into Scott. Stoddard, Dunklin, New
Madrid and Pemiscot counties and
e down into the richest part of
Arkansas. When the connections are
all complete. the new Houck system
will haul into Cape Girardeau hun
drcds of passengers and train-loads
OF freight. True, the traffic will not
all stop at the Cape: but much of it
will. Down here in the aliuvial dis
trict. we are anxious for the new route
to be completed. The city council of
the Cape should take a u down here
and the members would not longer
hesitate as to what is their duty.
