Rail ROADS AND RAILROAD RUMORS.
Various Enterprises Which Interest Tanc,
Count, People.


There Is continued activity in rail-
road construction and projection in
southwest Missouri, the logical rcsul,
Ofthc increasing knowlcdge of the re-
sources of this section. which awaits
| only the advent of the iron horse to
make II n region of wonderful wealth.
Z furnishing vast tonnage OF business
/ TO the roads. While the definite pur-
/ poses ot the roads making dcmOnstra-
tious in this direction arc not known
. To outsiders, one mans guess Is IA
good n anothcr's, aud there is an
element OF interest In the very unrcr-
tninty surrounding the whole matter.
For ih".e reasons the REpuBMCAS
/ will cndcav0r TO keep its readers in
formed OF railroad movements as tar
as II may he able, aud they can do
their own guessing n well as another
can do II for them.
The Missouri Pacific 10 Hustiiug.
Naturally enough the main. and
with those most familiar with this
region, the only inquiry, is as 10 the
roilrond prospects. As there will be
some forty new readers of this paper
this week II may be well To briefly
state the situation rs it is today, aud
as il will be IN less than six months,
leaving aside all spcculations.
Tho surveyors Of the Mo. Pacific
are now within five miles OF Buffalo
City, which point they have been in
sltuctcd 20 reach aud there receive
further orders. All the talk Of their
going on up White river Is bosh, for
the powers that he have not in idcetcd
any such purpose The only sign
that has been thrown out Is the state
mcnt of one of the Mo. Pacific officials
that the road would pass through
Soilviilr IN less tl,an-six months. 10
do this a crossing of the river will ho
made ut buffalo City, as indicated
last week.
No delay will occur, but this line
will be pushed on through to its con-
ncciion in the Missouri field. II has
long been predicted that the Mo.
Pacific would be the first railroad
into this field, a prediction that will
be fulfilled in the coming few months.
If the chief engineer of the Eureka
extension knows where he wants TO
carry that line he has rs yet given no
indication. That ho has been trying
TO avoid the zinc field has all along
been apparent to tue most unobscrv-
ing. That the nearncss of his line to
the zinc deposits in a measure affords
transportation Is really no ieuIt oil
his, Tor he could not wind about
through these hills without some
point on his road being within haul
ing distance. Private enterprise may
do what he should have done. 80 this
road will after all prove to be ot great
benefit. The haul from this country
win be shortened four miles Just ~
soon rs the road reaches DHllOntc
which viii be In less than two months
The Morning Star railroad shows
but few signs of life, though MIR
johnson wires that money will bc
forthcoming by the 10th inst, TO pay
