In connection with the Burlington
cutoff. The Cedar City branch runs
from Mexico to Jefferson City, the cap
ital Of Missouri, the terminus at Cedar
City being connected by a bridge
across the Missouri river. The Mis-
souri, Pacific has hitherto had the mo
nopoly Of the passenger business to the
capital but by running trains over the
Burlington cutoff, which is to be com

passengers in Jefferson City from st

is likely that there will be a radica

the divisional point 10 succeed Slate
