say Hedrick Route is Advisable.

The talk of the G. NJ. & st. P. cut.
off from Davenport to this vicinity is
revived, and it is now stated by those
who should know that the line will
be built, striking the Kansas City line
at either Hedrick or Ottumwa.
Should it come to Hedrick, it will
mean much to the town. There are
several advantages that are in favor
of building to Hedrick instead of OF.
tumwa, and it is very likely that the
matter will be thoroly investigated
by the officials of the road before
making their final decision. The
saving of some IA miles of right-of
way and road construction, without
any increase in length of track, seems
to make the Hedrick route advisable
