BURLINGTON MAY n
Reported that this Road will Complete
Link Between Macon and Mexico.

IL is announced quite frequently, m
view OF tie fact that the Burlington
recently acquired the newly built Iowa
& ST. Lonis tracks from the north In
10 Macon, and that they will let the
contract for the sbortline from Mexj-
60 70 Old Monroe in a few days, that
the connecting link between Macon
and Mexico will be eventually built.
Speaking about this matter the Paris
Marars has the following to say:
"Charley Adams. a former Monroe
county boy, now In business at Kinks
vile, was in Paris Monday and In a
conversation with a Mercury reporter
in regard to the Iowa &St. Louis, said
Il know Redding and all the cOnstruc-
tion superintendents from Hunt down
are personal friends OF mine. / Be
came acquainted with them while the
road was being built through Moving
er in Adair county, ashort distance
from KirksyiIle. They are all OF the
opinion that the road win be built on
to Mexico by the Burlington and Hunt
says he sees no other possible use that
system could have for the road. He
believes though not taken into coun-
Gil, that it viii be constructed on
through Monroe county to Mexico,
though in that case, If u on a
straight line would pass closer to Mad
ison than Paris You may have a
new read yet. said Mr.. Adams. Red
ding made ssoO, 900 out Of his part OF
the Iowa & St Louis deal.'r

THE NEW RAILROAD.
Contracts for the Burlington Cut-0f
to st. Louis to Be Let on May
18th in Chicago.

Contracts will be let on May is IL
Chicago for the new Burlington rail
road from Mexico to St. Louis, am
work viii be started all along the lin
by June first; and the road will b
completed by January 1, 1904.
The cutoff to st. Louis will be 6,
miles from Mexico 10 old Monroe ant
81 miles from Old Monroe to st. Louis
making the distance lis miles. tn,
trains will leave Mexico over tn,
Alton tracks, crossing Salt River On
the Alton bridge, and there will be
switch tower on the other side OF Sal
River, so the new line will leave tn,
Alton there, running about a mile o.
a mile and a half north OF Benton City
and Martinsburg, touching Wells
vile.
The yards viii be across Salt Riyel
on the Lawder farm. The Burlington
win occupy the new station erected
by the Alton people in this city. Pas
senger trains will likely go through t
st. Louis without any change OF crew
or engines, but freight engines and
freight crews will likely be changed
in Mexico, giving us at least a freight
division.
