MILWAUKEE, G. ST. PAUL CUTOFF.
Grade Nearly Completed From Musca-
tine to Rutledge.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
Milwaukee & st. Paul roads Kansas
City-C Chicago cutoff, which is to reduce
the distance between the two cities
via the Milwaukee forty-two miles and
make it second only to the Santa Fe
in length, says the Kansas City Jour
nal Officials say there is now no
doubt but the road will be in shape to
enter the Kansas City field on equal
terms with any of it's competitors by
January /, continues that paper. Here
tofore the Milwaukee has had too long
a line to endeavor to do much passen
ger business between Kansas City and
Chicago and it has never been factor
in the competition for passenger traf.
fic out of here. The new line will be
six-tenths of a mile shorter than the
Alton and mile shorter than the Bur
lington, which have heretofore been
second and third in point of distance,
the Santa Fe leading all others by over
thirty miles.

ed the Kansas City-Chicago distances
will be: Santa Fe. 45S miles; Mil,
waukee & st. Paul, 4SS; Alton, 1886;
