ROCK ISLAND CUTOFF.
Line Not Positively Located But Con-
tract VIII Be Let.

The contract for the Rock Island
cutoff between Eldon and Kansas City
is expected to be let any time within
the next few days. There has been
several rumors to the effect that it
would be let this week, but UP to the
present these have not been verified,
The line for the cutoff has nearly all
been located ana engineers are now at
work near Trenton. Mo-, finishing UP

This line is not yet positively locat-
ed, and ii located on the route of the
line surveyed by these men. will meet
the o.u line at Jamesport, twenty-sev-
en- miles southwest of Trenton, and
will leave Trenton off of the new line.
| If this line is determined upon, and II
| is being surveyed because it is Il
straight line and will avoid big
curve which the proposed cutoff
makes as now surveyed into Trenton
| it will very likely mean the removal
of the Rock Island shops from Tren
ton and also the making of through
run from Eldon to Kansas City, al
least SO the experienced men on the
/ inside circles say.
The. end Of the cutoff nearest EldoI
is not positively located either. If the
route through Bloomfield is adopted
the new line will join the old at Floris
and If this route is not chosen. 1t will
leone in at Belknap or Drakeville.
