AN ENCOURAGING LETTER.
Missouri Central Electric Railway
Prospects Are Looming Up
Again.

keyteSVllle received letter
Tuesday, Oct. 6, from Hon. Geo.
B. Harrison of Glasgow which
sounds more like business than
anything that has transpired for
sometime in regard to the Mis-
souri, Central Electric railway.
Mr.. Harrison's letter to Mr..
Dempsey reads as follows:
THE LETTER.
Glasgow, Mo-, Oct. 5, 1908.
Mr.. j. r. DEMPSEY,
Keytesville, Mo.
DEAR SIk Mr.. Walter R.
Nc cDowell, who is secretary of
the construction company, or
ganized to build our road, was
here this morning and departed
on the noon train for Columbia.
He has been sent out in advance
of the monied men to look into
the right. of-way and franchises
through the various towns. A
Mr.. Lewis, who was president of
the Brooklyn Street Rapid Line
is president and ex-
Gov. VOORHEES, of New Jersey is
vice-president of the construc-
ton company. This is what
Chase and Loomis write me and
what Mr.. Mcdowell tells me.
Lewis and VOORHEES, will be
here next week to visit all towns
along the line. Mr.. Mellow
ell says it is important that we
have the franchises of the towns
and cities to run on streets and
over streets, and from the coun-
ties the right t-of.way to cross
roads before these men get here.
And if they find We have the
right-of-way they will be ready
to go to placing contracts for
construction. l will try to come
up with the men. Will you
please, without fail, get the nee
essary franchises from your city
council and county court and
send me a copy of them that l
may have them to show these
men when they get here. We
have told them these franchises
have been promised and could
be gotten any day. Now they
have called for them and we will
have to show up.
Please attend to this at once
and send me copies.
Yours Very Truly,
GEO. B. HARRISON.
President.
So far as the franchise from
the county is concerned that has
already been granted by the
county court, but no action has
yet been taken by the city coun.
Gil. The COURIER suggests that
the board call a special meeting
at once, invite as many of our
citizens as possible to be present,
who will evince their loyalty to
this splendid enterprise which
will be worth thousands and
thousands of dollars to our town
and county. The meeting shoulc
be one of enthusiasm and great
rejoicing. 1t is the opportunit.
of a lifetime. Let's all embrace
it, nail it down and then clincl
it. In short, let's show the com
pany which proposes to bring u
this road that we mean bushes
